Morning Ticker: Kroenke buys more Arsenal shares, Hunt picks Germany over England and more
Colorado Rapids owner Stan Kroenke edged closer to a potential takeover of English power Arsenal after buying another batch of shares. Kroenke now owns about 29.6 percent of Arsenal's shares, just three percentage points below the amount that would obligate him to launch a formal takeover bid....
Agrred! Also applies to Rob Stone, Alexi Lalas and Julie Foudy.

I agree. Red Bull do not screw this up.

FIRE THE COACH ASAP!
FIRE THE COACH ASAP!
Need to salvage the season before it is too late.
Give Richie Williams the job. He did a good job the 1st time he was an interim coach. He deserves a shot at full time coaching.
Osorio has no idea of what he is doing. He changes the lineup too much. You could see that the first half lineup was not on the same page.
Also, get read of Richards. He play does nothing but frastrade me. Makes the wrong decision 9-1/2 out of 10 times.

Chase,
You maybe correct.
Unconfirmed reports suggest that maybe the case. An arrangement, of course, that FIFA does not allow, such as Tevez and Jo.

Freddy Montero, if he even makes it to the end of the season without being sold somewhere else, will not be around after this season. That is a shame, but I will enjoy watching his highlights while he is here.

Honey Boehme,
Freddy does not belong to Seattle. He is here on loan from his Columbian team.

His he allowed to play after week 4 or does his suspension start back up once he signs with a team?
Posted by: Frank | March 27, 2009 at 12:43 PM
..........................................
Once he is signed by an MLS team, then he must serve the four game suspension. That means that if he does not and signs with a European team he would still need to serve the four game suspension whenever if ever he returns to MLS.

It may only be week two, but we need a home victory. Need to be winning the home games when we badly suck on the road. 1-1 is a lot better than 0-2 when the next two games are at Chicago and Houston. That is a potential start of 0-4. Osorio needs to start playing players in their possitions.
Can't get any worse.

The lineup may not be strong, but I prefer the 4-4-2. I am not a fan of a formation with one striker. The problem with this franchise has always been that they play too much long ball. They never dominate possession. Can't string more than two passes. Also, signing players that are never ready to be in the lineup when the season starts, especially since Osorio has been in charge.

Are they going to have football lines on the field for MLS Cup? That would be horrible.
Posted by: A.S. | March 11, 2009 at 02:44 PM

IT WOULD BE AN EMBARASSMENT!!!!
I don't know, but it does not look like that the football lines at Qwest Field are permanetely painted on the turf as they are at Giants Stadium. Where they basically spray paint over them and can still see the outline. So, I don't see why they would not remove them for the game.

I guess it would be nice to have a team in St Louis, (being that they have a great soccer history), but I don't have a problem with Portland. The USL team has a good fan base. Of course I would not feel that way if I leaved in St Louis.

Am I the only one who's wondering if the league is expanding too quickly?
Posted by: Anthony | March 11, 2009 at 10:10 AM
...........................................
No Anthony, you are not the only one. I feel they should put a freeze on expansion after teams 17 & 18 are added. Freeze it for at least 7-10 years. They should not expand to more than 20 teams. I don't think the league can survive with 30 teams like the other American Leagues. Case in point the old NASL.
