For example, if the fixture reads LA Galaxy v New England Revolution, that would mean LA were the away team.

It comes from baseball, because the home team bats last.

good goal, but check out that keeper. he makes barthez look like a giant.

I think you've got some bad info shenwen. It's not a marketing thing, it's a legitimate Cup competition. Not the biggest, but nothing like the PL trophy thingy, which is a preseason friendly. This is a season-long competition amongst the top 8 MLS and Primera Division teams.

The keeper is Troy Perkins. He's 6'2"

Top 2 teams from each division, then best 4 over all.

1st round is 2 legs, the rest is straight knockout.

And the Revolution will lose in the MLS Cup Final, because Steve Nichol will make them play Scouse like.

Grimson, do you watch the Utd games in that famous Reds bar in NY? Can't remember what it's called but I've seen it in documentaries.

DC will crush them, again, if they meet in the playoffs.

Nevada Smith's - no, too crowded, too annoying. I get a lot of them at home on either Fox or one of the Spanish channels, or I go to the Red Lion on Bleeker Street in the Village.

That's the one, yeah looked a bit touristy too if you know what I mean. So you are in Manhattan right?

You ever get over to the West Coast and I'll take you to the #@&%! n Bull in Santa Monica.

Yeah I live in the East Village. I'll take you up on it, I'd love to make it out there.

Absolutely mate. Just let me know.

I would fancy my chances against such poor quality opposition too.
