San Diego nicknames...the Niño's (weather pattern, looks like they'll be raining on everyone this year), Bungas (Cowabunga, man!), Pinballs (logo looks like one). Rivalry games with the Galaxy should be the Catalina Classico.

Niños is brilliant, as is the Catalina Clasico.

Not that I disagree, per se, but the Revs went on the road and shut out Nashville (yes, it was close on a few of those Surridge attempts), but New England is two spots lower? More to prove!

Matt hates Porter as much as we all do, but doesn't like the roster as much. I think there's more talent on the team than they get credit for.

what's Giroud's problem? is it formation/style of play? or a case of thinking he'll come and and not have to try as hard?

it's funny that some star players have trouble playing in MLS. some, obviously, don't!

Yeah it hasn't looked like an effort thing to me. I think, originally, it was just adjusting to a new league, but now he looks like he's in his own head.

As a long-time Jebo stan, I don't mind that! More playing time for the King.

He'll be a nightmare if he can dial in those crosses.

It's an NBA bit. Lots of of player compilations on YouTube – especially ones of players who are super dynamic 1v1 – have titles like "Derrick Rose is a problem! | Highlights 1v1 Maestro | Best Of" – to the point that it's become a meme.

As for San Diego’s nickname, have you ever seen the movie Anchorman?

This is great! Only thing as a Crew fan I’m worried about - sounds like Spanish transfer rules are causing the Roque move to Palmeiras to fall apart…hope that doesn’t ruin the Crew’s chances at getting Lopez
