I hate to break it to you, Sordid, but this was not a better game than the Euro 2008 Final. More exciting for a "fan of sport," maybe, but not better in terms of quality of play. I love soccer and am convinced that the MLS will continue to grow and harvest better talent, but as it stands right now, there's no comparison... the Europeans are just flat-out more technically sound than the vast majority of players in the MLS. I will agree with you, however, in that I am sick of seeing Landon Donovan bitch and moan. In my opinion, he is and always will be ridiculously overrated.

sordid, we sing lots of different songs and in fact we sing a lot. it starts in the parking lot. then we sing in the tunnel. after that we sing in the concourse. this is all before the game. then we go inside and sing for 45 minutes. we go back to the concourse and sing for 15 minutes for half time. afterwards we go back to our seats and sing for another 45 minutes. after the game whether we win or lose, we sing all the way back to the parking lot. please feel free to join us. if you don't know the words ask someone in a barra brava jersey or any other supporter group. they will gladly teach you. in return, we only ask that you sing loudly and for 90+ minutes.

"Anyway, the fans need to come up with a few more songs of better quality...a re-make of Karma Chamelion does not a good fight soong make." Were you at the game or just watching on TV? If you were watching it on TV, you definitely didn't get the full effect. Please come out to a match and sit with the supporters groups. We have plenty of songs to that we sing, but unfortunately, the broadcast doesn't keep the sound on us for 90 minutes. Btw, what songs do you sing at hockey games that the stadium doesn't start?

What? No pictures of David with his shirt off? Or better yet how about some pics of the guy dressed up as posh spice accompanied with her blow up doll with Beckham shapied on its back. Geez, who wants to see a bunch of hot guys kick balls. Hello, that's so summer olympics '89.

hype...he just stood around for the most part, playing a couple balls here and there. I snapped a picture of him in action and only realized later what the general concensus was: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shamigo/2622153161/ (granted this was the Screaming Eagles section)

This was an absolutely awesome game. I'm not a dedicated soccer fan, but I am a fan of sport. I watched this game and the Euro Cup. Hands down this was the better game of the day. I only wish somebody would have punched Landon's little bitch nose while he was complaining...you see, I'm a hockey fan at heart. Anyway, the fans need to come up with a few more songs of better quality...a re-make of Karma Chamelion does not a good fight soong make.

Channeling Lou Dobbs: David Beckham, an immigrant, is clearly taking away a job from a hard-working American citizen. Why do we tolerate this outrage?
