When the season started, there was a lot of talk about how this season would provide the first ‘balanced’ schedule and the closest we’ll get to a true Supporters Shield winner. Champions of the ‘we need to be like Europe’ philosophy jumped all over this opportunity.

Say what you want about the playoffs, it’s format and anything else you feel like complaining about. I’m not buying any of it right now. From a neutral standpoint, that was a highly entertaining match and well worth the complaining I got from my wife who wanted to watch Survivor. Gimme DC and Chicago in a playoff second leg any day. Great DC crowd too. Love it. Who needs Beckham to sell tickets? Games like last nights should be doing the selling.

Actually, it was just a there and back trip, by car, and I got back last night…but it was windy.
I currently live an hour or so from Chicago but this was my first time to Toyota Park—heck, it was my first visit to Chicago which didn’t include a trip to O’Hare. The stadium is quite nice. It actually feels more like a stadium for sporting events than the HDC. I have to admit, the stadium is sweet…even if I was stuck in front of the stage and behind …

I recently lived in Colorado Springs for a year. One of the most frustrating things about living in “The Springs” was that the local paper had next to zero MLS coverage. Yeah, they’d have the occasional AP article about the Rapids (only an hour drive away) when they were at home. That was pretty much it. So, I was amused to read this in the Gazette.
OK, they did have a reporter at most of the local PDL teams home games and they did have someone cover …

Haven’t posted much lately cuz things have been a bit hectic chez PZ.But what’s there been to post about besides a US game which shouldn’t have been scheduled (I was reminded of non-league teams going for a 0-0 hoping for a replay at home to make a little extra coin….zzzzz)
Anyway, MLS starts next week. I’ve got my Tivo set and I may actually convince my wife to let me get the Direct Kick PPV package this year. However, there may be a few more excited sports fans this summer. …

My Chargers just hired Norv Turner to be head coach??!!!! What’s Spanos thinking???!!! I mean, this has to be….errr…sorry, wrong football.
So, Zidane isn’t greedy. After all, he doesn’t want Backham money. Someone needs to explain to him that Beckham isn’t being paid to play. Perhaps MLS should structure a deal just like the one Becks has. Half of shirt sales etc. Nah, he’s French. It’s not as if the French are arrogant or anything.
Speaking of Becks, does anyone feel sorry for …

I’ve got a little time today so I thought I’d quickly mention some things which has caught my eye lately.
Where the heck is Collinsville? Continuing the trend of putting stadiums well outside the cities the teams are named after, St Louis looks like they are well on the road to getting a stadium for a possible MLS team.
Speaking of stadiums, will RSL ever get theirs?
…And then there’s KC who have had to bring in reinforcements to find somewhere (anywhere) to play. I’m hoping something good happens soon for them.
There’s always …

Last week, I watched LA get torn apart by Real Madrid. The 2-0 score flattered the Galaxy and everyone went away happen even though fans paid through the nose for the chance to see the match.
So, let’s cross to the other side of the Pacific were the Spanish Giants are right now. They played Tokyo Verdy over the weekend and got thumped 3-0. On top of that, Verdy player, Toda spat in Becks face as the teams left the pitch at half-time.
“Toda spat in my face. That in life is …
