What is this "other changes" you speak of?

I need a port in my daily storm...

Jacob said...

Gonna try out a new platform, I think. Plus, T-shirts!

jjf3 said...

And, yes, by virtue of me knowing you're "underground", you're screwed...

Apologies in advance...

Jacob said...

Holy shit. This match may get abandoned.

BackBergtt said...

Look at the size of that platform!

Jacob said...

OK, not abandoned, but a 10 minute delay in restart because of two red cards (including Mexican coach). Fun times.

Jacob said...

Phillips, the Panamanian player sent off, was on the pitch for approximately 4 minutes.

Jacob said...

Referee really wants to call it off now. Mexican fans throw stuff at a Panamanian player stretchered off. For the second time, people in suits are on the field trying to get the match restarted.

Jacob said...

Just passed the 10 minutes of added time mark.

Unknown said...

i want a t-shirt.

Jacob said...

And, at 55.30 of the second half, the ref blows for full time. Immediately, he is surrounded by Mexican players from the bench. Can't wait to see if there is some blowback from this on both teams.

Jacob said...

You'll get yours, Steve (with proper payment, of course).

BackBergtt said...

I'm getting banned aren't I. And everyone else is getting a star and privileges. I've seen this before, I won't be made a number once again.

Jacob said...

No Georger. That's not it.

Unknown said...

That NY Times blog post is the worst thing I've ever read about the MLS. And that's saying something.

Uncle Joey said...

Davies has come out and said he hasn't signed with Sochaux.

Jacob said...

Robot Agenda-
Come back in one hour.

Uncle Joey-
I cannot believe that there is some transfer talk out there that is not true. ;)

Uncle Joey said...

u75-
Yeah. I wouldn't normally bother shooting it down, but some (like Ives, who, by the way, would almost certainly pass the buck to l'equipe) made it sound like a done deal.
