We're still in the bottom half of the west, but FINALLY our 12 game road trip is over. Next weekend we finally play at home. After starting out 0-5-1, we went 4-1-1. Our new signing scored 2 goals against Philly, so he's at 3 goals in 1 1/4 games. Things are looking up for us, barring injury.

Good job, nice to see your team rallying!

Yay! We won and got out our losing slump. My favorite player scored 2 goals in extra time. And I am at the rowdy soccer bar. I made a new cool soccer friend, and my gf is bartending. All around good time. I needed to get out of my house.

Our Goalie Guzan using his Superhero skills. GUUUUZZZ

It's hard to tell because of the shadow etc., but at 55 sec, slowed down, the ball looks like it crosses the line. It also looks close to being a handball by the offense.

But yeah, good saves, poor execution on the Minnesota forwards. When you are that close you gotta strike it right into the onion bag.

We thought it was a goal, but they didnt review it, so I guess the Refs had a good view.

It wasn't quite as obvious as the infamous disallowed England goal in 2010 WC. As horrible as this was, it did change the game forever. After it, FIFA announced goal line technology w/cameras for 2014 WC. I was watching this live and was stunned they didn't allow it. Typical tho for England...they often get the short end of the stick in international matches.

Oh wow that is so in! Dont even know what the refs were thinking.

That was such a brutal loss. That goal would have equalized the game at 2-2, instead it deflated the team so irrevocably bad and they lost 1-4 (Germany were still the better team, however, it should never have been so lopsided).

Glad to hear they've stopped the bleeding.

Can't wait for tonight's game. We have gorgeous weather, and one of the biggest events of the year also today. They're expecting up to 300k people downtown this evening. The Timber's Army camped out yesterday for wristbands starting at 4pm, and there are quite a few LAFC fans hanging out. It's been way too long.

And, Thorns tomorrow too.

That sounds like a lot of fun!

Ughhhh I am a bit unhappy that the AU isnt on TV here and there are no streams. I can only follow the score and its a beat down in the making.

I wish soccer could at least get its own network.

ESPN+ has all of the games. I think it is $5/month, but may be wrong.

If you're bored, we're on ESPN2 at 10:30pm EST. Check out the stadium and atmosphere at least

I will check out your game!

I did find a stream. It's on twitter of all weird places.

Nice result for you today...I know it isn't over but up by 2 with 5 min...

I didn't think of twitter - I know that twitter used to be the official or "official" stream partner.

LAFC fans are heading towards the stadium, they just walked by my place singing and chanting. Cool stuff overall, though several guys went a little too far by getting into Timbers fans faces (though from 7 floors up it could easily have been in humor, and Timbers fans could have instigated, though didn't hear anything).

Grabbed a dozen or so random brews and ciders for a few friends coming over. 2.5 hours to game time and there are thousands of people around already. Great stuff.

The pizza delivery person is gonna be ticked...my street is blocked off and there are a ton of people around. It isn't going to be easy, but she'll get a nice tip.

Good win for us!

Your area sounds amazing! I know you must be having a blast!

It was the Univision account streaming it.

I guess I wasnt aware that twitter can be used to stream sporting events. Or anything in general.

I know youtube can stream stuff. twitter just seems weird.

Your crowd is pretty loud! And packed.

That was a very entertaining match, sorry it wasnt a W. The end was kinda bs, all the stoppage time got wasted with drama.

You have a really nice arena.

It was ugly, we gave the ball away badly way too many times. That being said, we played poorly and only lost to the best team in the league by 1.

I'm a little ticked, they moved us down 3 rows and we now have a pole obstructing the view of the goal.

Its cool seeing the stadium done now. I remember when it was a baseball stadium, then soccer, now this with the 4000 more seats. I will be on the field tomorrow for the Thorns - 9 of our players are in France for the world cup, but it'll be fun nonetheless.

Over 19,400 for the Thorns today, an a 3-0 win over Chicago. I love how this city embraces soccer.

Here's the pano view from our seats. The stadium remodel is more impressive from field level that I expected.

Thats pretty awesome! Very nice stadium, they did good.

The King Of The South

Describing the mutual love between him and his people <3

I might love him.

Watch Party tonight!!!

I hate the long soccer breaks.

Tacos, Tacos, Tacos A-T-L!!!

(Ok, thats not how its goes, but I like that version better.

WE READY

And just to give you something interesting to look at. Our goalie mic'd up and being interviewed at the same time he is on the field playing.

There is a cheer for him too. But it has swear words. So I wont post it.

ESPN hates AU. Why U Post Comments Like That?

Suck a big weenie ESPN.

Imagine if NFL Box Scores read that way.

Well. Now the bar just gave me a free AU knit scarf. That was unexpected and nice of them.

<3 Love

Holy snappers, Eve, do you go to a bar every day?

No, mostly only when a game is on that I want to see.

And sometimes to hang with friends.

Its more fun to watch sports with a crowd, then sitting home.

And sometimes I go, just to be around humans.

I live alone and work from home.

Its super unhealthy to be that isolated.

So,I go to keep my sanity intact. Cabin fever is a thing.

Well, I guess you're a people-person and obviously a sports nut.

Some pics of my new scarf. I guess it was provided by Goose Island Beer Co.

So I now haz a beer scarf for my collection.

And we won, I'm not sure how as theres like 4 starters out.

The first goal was a thing of beauty.

We got our asses whooped tonight.

At half time, our coach says "The only thing we can do in the second half is show some morale, show some balls."

Show some balls? lol

I love having a coach who can barely speak English.

Show some balls, men. lol

Wow, didn't look at scores last night. You're right, looks like a rough one. Hopefully the team uses it to get better.

Love what we've been doing of late...its amazing what a few homes games does after 12 away to start the season. That and a striker that has scored 9 goals in his first 7 games.

So, MLS claims that Orlando is our rival. We couldnt care less about them.

NY Red Bulls on the other hand....we have deep hate for each other.

We have never beat them in regular season. Only in the playoffs.

It was chippy out there today.

And ended in a draw.

Just wait NYRB, we'll have our starters back for the playoffs....


And then ITS ON.


Post Edit... This Justin Meram is growing on me. Since we have so many starters out, he has been playing and scoring a lot. He is deadly and I hope we keep him. He is an Iraqi. I didnt know they have soccer scene over there.

Edit again: Oh no wait, Justin was born in Michigan to Iraqi parents. But he plays for the Iraqi National Team. I give up trying to understand all the weird things about how you can play for multiple teams in multiple leagues at the same time.

So today was a beat down in our favor.

Finally.

The last few months have sucked because our starters are mostly out injured.

We got some back, but still some out.

We are just decimated.

I wanted to go to the soccer bar today, but didnt because feeling moody due to fam issues.

So Ok. Good win.

P.S.

Dear Houston, attempting to chest bump refs when you are mad is a bad idea.



Thanks,
MLS Refs

Also, just to share, this is the main AU Sports Blog:

https://www.dirtysouthsoccer.com/

Its exceptionally well done, with great commentary and well informed.
And the right amount of humor added in.
Its a great read.

I feel the NFL and their reporters could learn something from them.

Might help. Does MKC do soccer? Uplifting sportswriting might be a real upside.

Be fair. Give the soccer bar another chance. Glad to see you wound up on AU. Pure gold!
