Again MLS? Really?

Known MLS blowhard Simon Borg decided to post something related to the NWSL championship being won by FC Kansas City. Congratulations to them. I saw the last 15 minutes or so after switching over from the New York-DC United game. They survived a furious attack in the last 10 minutes or so from the Seattle Reign to capture the championship. I can't lie. I was pulling for them. Kansas City is a great town with great supporters for the mens and women's team.

In the article he adds a poll questioning what city is Soccer City USA. You know what question I'm really getting sick of? You know what question is lazy as hell to ask? You know what question is something a paid MLS schlub would use to drum up hits to his article? Asking what city is Soccer City USA.

You're welcome for the hits to your post, Simon. We'll always be Soccer City USA. You know why? We have historical proof. Something nobody else does. So go on drumming it up. You're like the Fox News of the soccer world. We all just sort of laugh at you at this point. We'll continue to have the most insane crowd in MLS and the largest turnout in NWSL. You can go about trying to drum up hits for a poll in NYC. You can continue to speculate. Here's the proof.


But seriously...Simon Borg is like the Steve Doocy of the MLS Network. I know they had to create a network of their own to drum up coverage because nobody was covering MLS but you could practically have a Steven Colbert style show of people mocking Borg week in and week out. His over-animated videos are the best.

    Is this really what the TA is concerned about these days? We know you don’t like Simon Borg. We get it.

    You’re not *factually* wrong, Garrett, but you do realize how this posts reads, right? It reads like you’re the Simon Borg of the Timbers Army.

    Maybe decaf for the rest of the day…

    Stasis kills. Just because Portland was Soccer City USA in 1975 (there must have been a very strenuous application process for this obviously clearly defined and rigorously policed honor!) doesn’t mean it still is. The Model T was a fantastic car, but nobody drives a Model T any more; automobiles still exist; they’ve just evolved to improve over time.

    KC’s Cauldron is a great SG, SKC used to be a joke and are now one of the better teams/franchises in the league, and now the ladies have won the NWSL. Maybe a hat tip in that direction would be the better reaction.

    @Paul DeBruler

    I would have to disagree with you on your statement nobody drives a model T any more! that’s a bunch of lies… here is googlehttp://www.google.com/search?q=model+t+hot+rod&hl=en&gbv=2&tbm=isch&oq=&gs_l=
    I think there are still plenty of people that drive model t’s… Just like there are plenty of people who know and will continue to prove that yes we are in fact Soccer City USA.

    The title “Soccer City, USA” was never about trophies but about support for soccer at all levels, and when a regular season women’s college game in Portland(https://twitter.com/PortlandPilots/status/505957464395628544) can significantly outdraw the NWSL semifinal game, the title doesn’t move to KC.
