Aye, so the time is upon us once again for another season in which the MLS Powers that Be decide it's a good idea to continue playing during the World Cup. Fucking idiots.

Why did Houston get a nickname, it would have been so much cooler if they would have stuck with the year.

Because the Mexican population of Houston complained and threatened to boycott the team.



Why the league caved is anyone's guess. MLS doesn't draw the hispanic crowd ANYWAY, no matter how much they want it to.

Thanks DJ, I just didn't know the reason behind it, I had seen the year logo and name then I went back a couple weeks ago and I saw that they were the Dynamo (which in my opinion is a gay name, almost as gay as REAL S.L.)

I don't have a problem with Dynamo because there seems to be a reason behind it (at least they say there is).



Real Salt Lake? Stupid as hell.

Exactly, I mena there are so many Spaniards in Utah, it's crazy. Actually come to think off it all the Utah Sports team names are stupid as hell.

Okay I kind of like the AFL team name Utah Blaze, but that's about it.

Match previews added above.

I don't watch MLS, but I agree that Real Salt Lake is dumb. American clubs should not try to be European, especially when they are from Utah.

god, fuck dallas

go DALLAS

let's not get into this again



also, there will be pictures of me being a total badass in the stands, surely

FC Dallas 3 - 2 Chicago Fire
