It was inevitable, I suppose, but I would have loved even just a half season with Makhanya playing next to the Modern Colossus. (Photo credited to Don Robson)
Neil Pierre has almost caught Ezekiel Alladoh in total xG for the season. #DOOP
Different manager, same Vassilev.
I'll settle for tonight being the start of the Neil Pierre era*
*We don't count anything about that Vancouver game last season. #DOOP
LET'S FUCKING ROLL, LADS!
Just emulating his role model:
For American fans just discovering The Beautiful Game through World Cup, here's an interesting trivia fact for you:
Sepp Blatter, who served from 1998-2015, was the least corrupt FIFA president of the past 50 years.
We head to penalties with the ultimate prize at stake:
A weekend in Philadelphia.
Get hyped for today's big #USMNT match with the squad's favorite kitty litter!
38-0-0!
Ronaldo scored 36.
Tanner's out. Everyone cheer!
But did we just appoint the guy who signed Alladoh and Ndinga?
Oh well, Tanner's out. Everyone cheer!
#DOOP
That makes back-to-back seasons of Spurs fans wildly celebrating a 17th-place finish. The key to happiness is lowered expectations.
I'm a fairly recent convert to Arsenal nation, and I'm feeling total bliss right now.
I'm feeling even happier for all my fellow Arsenal fans who've been waiting so much longer than I have for this magical moment.
Enjoy the hell out of it! #COYG
Ben Bender getting another start at LB, over an available Ndinga, is another ringing endorsement of the Union's now-legendary off-season. #DOOP
LOL, c'mon, clickbait has to be at least vaguely plausible.
This is almost as bad as 'Arsenal set to sign Paul Pogba' last season.
#COYG
Today was basically a near-death experience shared by an entire fan base. #COYG
Same as last week, except with the injured Sery swapped out.
Iloski's started at forward for a decent stretch now.
Vassilev is eternal.
Frankie and Cavan, go make some trouble!
#DOOP
This has to at least tie a record (probably w/ many others) for the two most annoying players to score in a match.
And here I've been annoyed at seeing Union tickets over $60 because that sounds way too steep even for good MLS, let alone the Union.
How many colleges even charge admission for soccer matches?

Zubi's been a great signing, but Rice at 6 unlocks so much.
MLS won't have as soft a matchup today, but Arteta has faith in him for a reason.
This should all help Ricky roam free like the wild stallion he is.
#COYG
The frustration for fans who want to see Bruno benched is that another forward on the roster has to start. At least Westfield is back.
Cavan + Indy starting is a surprising wrinkle for all 3 of us who will be watching tonight. #DOOP
A great tool for Doom Comping, if that's where your team is in the cycle. #DOOP
