I hate watching games in Baltimoreโ€ฆ this is an indoor soccer skeet.

ร‰dier Ocampo's own goal is the 4th own goal scored in an MLS Cup final and first since George John's decisive own goal in extra time that decided the 2010 MLS Cup in favor of the Colorado Rapids against FC Dallas.

Most people outside of Colorado have tried to banish that game from their memory.

Stating the obvious, but I don't think the scoring is done, not with the way the game is flowing.

Nice, Iโ€™ll probably go that route eventually. Maybe Ecuador/Curacao or Austria/Algeria. Wanna take kids so they can say theyโ€™ve been to a WC game like I did in 94

Lucky, Iโ€™ve yet to be drawn in any draw unfortunately.

So Mo Abualnadi if he's called up by Jordan for the World Cup won't get to play in KC.

Fun fact on Jordan potentially coming to KC, it could see a KC native playing a World Cup game in KC as Overland Park's Mo Abualnadi has been a regular call up recently for Jordan. Abualnadi is a former #SportingKC academy player.

In the knockout stages, KC likely gets Portugal or Colombia, group K winners play round of 32 in KC and they're likely the favorites before Pots 3 and 4 get drawn.

i know it has been made fun of constantly (and, please, keep doing so) ...

but it cannot be overstated how INSANE it is that FIFA have anointed themselves as the arbiters of PEACE to give out this made up peace award to trump

If you want to skip the meaningless part of the draw, 11:45 is when you want to actually tune in.

So another #SportingKC coaching finalist? Seen a couple sources around leading back to this article that's behind a paywall for Freyr Alexandersson currently with Brann in Norway. www.bt.no/sport/ballsp...
