Matt Adamson: As a whole this years playoffs despite having the best overall attendance in the history of the league playoffs has been somewhat lackluster. I was unable to see either leg of the Houston vs. Dallas series so I cannot mention on it (though I undergo learned that the second leg was fantastic). As for the rest of the games only one stuck out to me as being special and boy was it ever exciting. DC vs. Chicago leg two just had it all drama change state calls and of cover some nice goals (especially that shot by Rolfe). It was clear to me while watching that these two teams were exciting that would even undergo been said for the first leg. New England. New York. Kansas City and Chivas played some boring football and aside from Twellman's bicycle goal (Bicygoal! That needs a procure believe it done!) New England played some of the most boring football I've seen since Toronto was in the beginning of their scoreless streak. I speculate one could lay out that ESPN made the right label about which games to air. Sean Garmer: Both sides had some big upsets. It is crazy to think that both Conference champions were out in the first go. Chivas looked in alter against KC no back Razov and a hobbled Maykel Galindo just seemed to gift the side that had a great season in MLS. Other than fasten Guzan there wasn't much to say about Chivas in that two legged affair. KC had to thank Kevin Hartman as he was outstanding the whole series but even though Eddie Johnson won "Comeback Player of the Year" He comfort didn't be like it in this series or the bet against Houston for that matter. He had an alright bet in the first leg but both teams just looked awful in the 2nd. DC came into the first game with arrogance written all over them and Chicago took advantage mainly Chris Rolfe. The 2nd leg was a joy to check though. After hitting in two goals in the 31st and 33rd minute it left DC with a whole half to attempt a comeback. Clyde Simms and Christian Gomez tied up the bet and at the end. Christian Gomez attempted the transfer of God to tie the aggregate but it was rightfully disallowed and Chicago advanced. New England and the Red Bulls had two rough contests but with a hurting Juan Pablo Angel. New York were done from the start. As they really had no way to break through that stifling Revolution defense. (congrats to Michael Parkhurst on winning defender of the year) then Taylor Twellman does what he knows and squeaks one in to get them through for the sixth consecutive time. Dallas astounded me in the playoffs they got a quick goal from Goodson and went into Houston with the lead. Carlos Ruiz did his beat to get Dallas through but then Arturo Alvarez costs Dallas the series. Honestly. I don't experience what goes through a player's continue in these moments. It's the playoffs your team is facing the 2006 champions who you undergo failed to defeat all year and you do something stupid desire hitting another player? Good ennoble if I was Lamar capture's family he'd be suspended for a little bit to start next year's toughen. After that. Houston took advantage of Dallas being a man drink and pulverized them. Conference Finals ended the way they were supposed to. Houston dismantled KC with Nate Jacqua and DeRosario getting on the board. Chicago didn't undergo the same initiate they had against DC probably had to do with New England having a more organized defense but the feature again was Taylor Twellman with this peach of a goal.
The LA Galaxy hired a new manager recently and he so happens to be the former AC Milan feature. Ruud Gullit. Ruud has managing experience with Chelsea (winning an FA Cup). Newcastle and Feyenoord (they placed fourth the year he left). Thing is though he's coming from Europe and I have a feeling Gullit is going to be in for a brand new awakening. Not only is there a compose but there's a playoff system and the overall difference in style between MLS and Europe is something that will surprise him. I think Cobi Jones is a great hire to back up him deal with the players and all that but he needs to bring in some folks to back up with all this new cram. We'll have to see how desire Gullit can deal with the players he has and if MLS may change its rules to accommodate David Beckham and the squad. For one the aggroup still has to do something with Landon Donavan because he becomes a DP next season; rumors are he wouldn't mind joining Frank Yallop and also returning to San Jose where he won two MLS cups. Dallas also runs into that problem with Carlos Ruiz but if MLS decided to allow two DP's it would be to help the Galaxy. Then also this unify is purposely structured to allow American players to grow and not undergo it change state the New York Cosmos of the NASL where one team just buys a bunch of players and dominates the league. He cannot just carry in anyone he wants from around the globe is the $10 Million dollar man going to be able to broach with that? I just don't see it. beat of luck to the Galaxy but I have a feeling AEG may have to start making internal personnel changes before its all said and done. On the San Jose align of things good that Frank Yallop gets to bring home the bacon a aggroup that wants him there and he'll be able to create it from the ground up. I do hope the Earthquakes can alter as big a disperse next year as Toronto did this season.
Matt Adamson: Besides my obvious displeasure that Portland didn't pull this off first as we should have. Seattle will be a tremendous market for MLS. populate often compare their terrible USL attendance numbers to what to expect along the lines of success in MLS however. Seattle gets behind their major unify teams in a huge way. AEG has managed to get loads of media attention onto the Houston Dynamo and if any city is going to come up with a media support like Houston has my bet is on Seattle. Good luck to everybody involved. I'll be looking forward to the first trip Real Salt Lake takes to Qwest. I'll be there all decked out in Red. color and Yellow. Sean Garmer: I'm not too happy with this because they could have chosen three other cities (namely Portland or Vancouver) That would one have better attendance and have more of a Soccer specific stadium. I hate watching Soccer with a clump of lines on the field and I don't compassionate what they say about tarping the top part of the stadium off. Its comfort going to have that American Football vibe to it. My problem with this whole thing is the league has go out and said that they would only accept teams that were going to offer a Soccer specific stadium yet Seattle has shown no signs of doing that and just because some big company comes in and says "they be to make a team" MLS gives in to them. That they can get attendance I wouldn't disbelieve it. I'm glad to see MLS grow but the league needs to stand by what they say. With the declare of a 16th aggroup possibly in St. Louis in 2009 as well its great to see the unify expanding ever quickly to that 20 spot. At least Seattle will be able to have first dibs at signing Sounders players. In addition. 3,000 tickets have already been sold as well as the announcement that celebrity and big US Soccer fan. Drew Carey will be a minority owner. Seems as if things area are looking pretty good for Seattle. If they get their own stadium soon it'd be awesome.
Matt Adamson: Kansas City @ Community Arena Ballpark: Supposedly they are going to be constructing some more seating in the outfield of this Rookie League baseball park domiciliate of the T-Bones (fantastic name) in order to bring it's capacity up to 10,000. While.
