Hey NYC launched their new badge. It's actually a great design. It doesn't look like a cartoon. Yes I am picking a scab.

Good points here from 5mtko. I disagree with Toluca's manager because they played San Jose who plays some of the worst football known to the human race. But I guess they can kind of win in MLS and obviously almost win in CCL. It would be wise of all the hype boys at MLS to start cramming the awful football played in San Jose down their face. Goonies never say die. That was shot in Oregon and it never coincided with a bunch of people who got glory calling themselves the Bash Brothers. Eff you San Jose, you suck and you are doing a disservice to football in America.

This is going to prove interesting. The Sounders have ended business ties with the Seahawks and appear to be headed in their own direction. Let's hope this is for the best as we haven't exactly been treated great in Seattle the past.

Two games in we have one of the most hilarious MLS hype stories already. It's hilarious because there are only like 30 more games to go. Cue the sarcasm thing where I roll my eyes.

Steve Zakuani is definitely a curious case here. He's a terrible rapper. Anyone that looked at anything remotely related to the MLS website in the last year probably had to sit through that awful commercial from XBox. His on field abilities are definitely better than his in studio abilities and while I am conflicted with him as a former Sounder I definitely feared those moments he came in the game against us. Dude is a game changer and can do good work. If you're reading this, Steve...kiss the badge when you score. Just some friendly advice.

Rifer wrote a match report that is better than anything anyone is paying for...again. So you should probably be paying attention to them.

Chalk this up as a laugh. Jurgen is complaining Deuce is getting fouled too much. Sorry, bro. I think Darlington Nagbe has a much longer record of being fouled in the league rather than the goldenboy the league probably spent WAY too much money on.

And that's your weekly.
