Do you know if Inter is doing another US Tour???

I doubt it. Theres' supposed to be a small tournament in New York this summer, and teams rumoured to participate include Juventus, Napoli, Newcastle, Everton, Bolton, Fulham, Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Sporting Lisbon, Porto, and Atletico Madrid. I think most big clubs will be staying at home though, with the World Cup and all.

Beckham is out for the whole season. Quite a bust in MLS.

The Red Bulls won today to stay atop the East, keeping DC United winless.

I'm going to the Juventus-Red Bulls game this Sunday. I'll be rocking my Inter jersey and Red Bull scarf.
Manchester United are playing the MLS All-Stars this summer.
Someone else wanna break up my post streak in this thread?

GET PUMPED NEW YORK

Henry won't offer as much as Beckham in terms of marketing/publicity for the MLS but I think he will offer more on the pitch than Becks. Good move for the Red Bulls, should instantly become the star of the MLS. Henry and Angel is quite a partnership up front.

San Jose Earthquakes got the big win over NY Red Bulls who were the East Champs. I live in the San Jose Area and I'm happy for them. I used to like the original Earthquakes (the ones are are currently in Houston) but I lost passion for the league ever since. I am happy the two titles are credited to the current earthquakes though. Still though, this team has come a long way for being "scrubs" for quite some time. First playoff series win since being revived. Great win Earthquakes.

I was at the game. So disappointing.

I can't believe the MLS title was decided by THIS.

Mac Kandji: traded by the Red Bulls to Colorado midseason. Of course.

My friend and former teammate at Siena College just signed a pro contract with USL expansion team FC New York. For those who have never heard of the USL, it is the league just below the MLS in the United States. Not really a big deal in the world of football, but he becomes the first Siena College footballer to sign a pro contract :thumbsup:

That's cool. Isn't Siena the same school that upset Vanderbilt in the NCAA tournament once in basketball?

Congrats vitoman!

What position do you play?

 

[vitomins]

Vito, you played D I?

Yes sir. Had an awful experience though because of a terrible coach. All you need to know is that in my 4 years there, we won 14 games. The coach was fired after my senior year and the new coach won 9 games in his first season alone...the most for the school in a very long time. He now has 27 wins in his first 3 seasons and has changed Siena from a bottom of the conference team into a contender, they were actually the best team in the conference last season, but were upset in the conference tournament.

The women's team went the longest unbeaten last year in the entire country. They won their conference tournament, but got smacked by Georgetown in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

I was very good in high school, but lost all confidence under that coach and did not play well in college.

That's cool. Isn't Siena the same school that upset Vanderbilt in the NCAA tournament once in basketball?

Yes it is. Siena basketball was unbelievably good over the past few years, unfortunately the coach left for a bigger job at Iowa and the new coach is quite a joke...they are doing terrible this year.

When I was a freshman, I roomed next to Jack McClinton. You may remember him at Miami, he transfered from Siena after one year and became one of the best players in the NCAA his senior year. He even played for the Spurs for a year before they cut him...I think he plays in Israel now. It was funny seeing a guy that I played Fifa with playing in the NBA lol.

Congrats vitoman!

What position do you play?

Haha, not sure why you are congratulating me, but thank you I played ST in high school but was moved to RM and LM in college. I will post some pictures if I can find some haha
