The Beautiful Game: It Can Be Salvaged

May 22nd, 2009 . By: Lorenzo de Medici

Many fans and readers of this site appear to have already given up on this season due to the teams very poor start. I however am not one of them. I believe this coach and this team can still turn things around and that the club can and will make the play-offs. Several things have to happen and to happen now to make this optimism a reality.

I am anti Dancers/Cheerleaders in soccer, but I am definitely NOT anti this video.

Why is this man smilling? Maybe it’s the continued reports of a five year plus deal (which 3rd Degree can’t confirm). For better or for worse, he’s gonna be here a while.

Monday Morning Gaffer: Seattle Sounders vs FC Dallas

May 19th, 2009 . By: Buzz Carrick

After a couple weeks of not being able to see the FCD game live due to work, I managed to catch this one in real time. Frankly when the season is this bad it can be hard to find good stuff to say. So in an effort to be more positive I’m flipping the order of these pieces so I can finish with what I did like.

Better Off?
