RSL Thread

[UB]

Tonight RSL have the chance to move ahead to the knockout round of the Concacaf Champions League.

They play Toronto FC, a team we handily beat recently in Sandy, 4-1. Tonight may be a different story, as it looks like RSL had a real bitch of a flight to Atlanta, on the way to Toronto:

RSL was down 1-0 in the first half. Then Javier Morales whipped a BEAUTY of a direct kick right into the bitch-*** net.


RSL almost won in the end, as Toronto's keeper sucks balls and almost let an easy shot slip through his FINGAHZ.





ONTO THE KNOCKOUT ROUND!!!!!

Glad Javie was able to get us a result tonight.

WTF is the CONCACAF Champions League? If I'm understanding it correctly, the champs from the various leagues play a tourney, right? If that's right, why the hell is Toronto FC in the tourney?

It's the confederation of North American, South America, anc Carribean leagues. Toronto got in, I believe, because they won the Voyagers Cup, the only top-level soccer trophy in Canada. Kind of a sham, but it's Canada.

Kind of a sham, but it's Canada.

How's that?

How's that?

Perhaps the real sham is The Voyagers Cup. Not Canada, itself. But it's a pretty cheap way to get into CONCACAF Champions League.

RSL almost won in the end, as Toronto's keeper sucks balls and almost let an easy shot slip through his FINGAHZ.

Which should have resulted in an indirect free kick for RSL from 6 yards away, but for some reason didn't get called.

Alright, RSL win on the road 2-1 against New England. Nat Borchers scored his 2nd MLS goal around the 68th minute. But NE scored an equalizer in the 84. And thank god for Saborio, who gave RSL the advantage and ultimately the win on a headed goal in the 86th, firing right back at the Revs.

We're currently the best team in the league, with the most points. That's nice.

Just keep on puttin' in work, boys. You're playing marvelously.

LA still has to play the Colorado and Dallas so SS is still possible.

We got a great win today even though our midfield was never in the game.

Don't back down. Canada is a sham.

Haha, soccer is so gay.

is it gayer than a homosexual?

LA Galaxy versu Chivas USA on one of the ESPN channels in 6 minutes.

Define 'homosexual'. According to the Mormons, they don't exist.

Does this work?

 

[Shaggy]

The LA Galaxy are up 2 nil on Chivas USA at half. It looks like we will be 2 points behind LAG again for the Supports Shield. ( best record in MLS, for all the non gay folk)

Big game today.


RSL vs New York Red Balls, 2:00p MST

This game is in New York, and the Rad Balls are hitting their stride of late. RSL need to win tonight to stay in contention for the Supporters Shield, though a tie wouldn't necessarily DQ them.

NY have two very good attackers in Thierry "Hand Ball? **** you Ireland!" Henry and Juan Pablo Angel. Look for RSL's defense to tighten up on those two menaces.

RSL should be able to win, if they believe they're the better team.

Here is a much more detailed preview of the match tonight: link
