Bolton/Spurs match was abandoned before halftime. Fabrice Muamba of Bolton collapsed on the pitch. Suffered a cardiac injury of some sort. No recent update on his condition, but he is alive.

Holy **** the MLS blows. I turn it over during commercial of the Preds game and the goalkeeper lets in the softest goal. Christ.

Nice atmosphere though.

MLS will not be able to flourish completely until American soccer fans start buying in to our soccer. The difference is in $. tv ratings and attendance dictate the talent MLS will be able to afford. at least you flipped over to watch. that is where it begins.

RSL is off to a hot start. 2 W's and outscoring 5-1 without our best defensive player, Nat Borchers.

Borchers is a defensive mastermind, but not all that athletic. Our other center back is extremely talented physically, but not very bright. It's an interesting duo. If we could put Borcher's brain in Olave's body, it'd be the greatest defender the world has ever known.

Anybody with twitter needs to check out Walken4GOP's tweets. Guy is racist as hell. His most recent tweets are basically saying to let Muamba die and that his condition is probably the result of doing drugs.

What do ya'll think the odds are of Kenny being at 'pool next season?

I'm thinking not good if it was up to the owners. Fans may run riot if they do though.

Wonder what the meltdown will look like if Everton finish ahead of them...

RSL just lost 1-0 in a match they should have won 3-0. So aggravating. They dominated possession like 70/30. Chivas keeper made 2 unbelievable saves, we failed to finish on 2 easy chances, and the official waved off a quick restart set piece goal claiming he hadn't marked off 10 yards, even though RSL refused it. That was one of many horrible calls.

That's the one thing holding this league back, in my opinion. The officiating is inexplicable at times.

They will probably test the waters with some big name managers and if nothing comes from it they will keep him. If it wasn't for Suarez and Adam they would have been getting these results all season.

They need to buy smart and that is not something they do well. Wouldn't surprise me if they moved for another striker instead of filling a glaring hole in their midfield.

Follow this sequence of events:

1. Liverpool uses all subs at Newcastle.
2. Pepe Reina gets a red card.
3. Jose Enrique goes into goal.

April Fools? Nope. Reina will miss the FA Cup semi-final.
