One of the biggest complaints and biggest points Eurosnobs make is that MLS teams don't show up for every game. Well this week will be fuel for the Eurosnobs fire. Wednesday night DC showed up and beat the best club team in Concacaf, 2-1 they outplayed them and earned a victory. Lost the series but earned a victory none the less.
So what happens last night, the DC United uniforms showed last night in Utah, and let easily one of the worst teams in Concacaf run all over those uniforms for a 4-0 victory. A 4-0 butt kicking for the ages, a game that fans are saying just might be the worst game DC United has ever played in their thirteen year history. That a championship team does not play like this ever. A team capable of this horror, can never ever win a trophy/championship.
If this isn't the fuel to a Eurosnobs fire then there never will be fuel and the Eurosnobs are just that eurosnobs.
Don Garber the commissioner of the MLS said this past week said that the teams need to start showing up for international games. Hello, Is this worrying about the thorn in someones leg, when you just had your leg chopped off. Don, can Vasco call you Don, how about worrying about your fans and start getting on your players to show up for every game.
If your fans don't feel your team will show up for every game, then why should they show up for every game, and spend their hard earned money. Example last Saturday I went to the home opener of DC United against Toronto. I showed up spend a $100 for 4 tickets, my brother spent a $100 for 4 tickets. We both traveled over a hundred miles, he from Pennsylvania and I from Delaware, we both spent $12 to park. We both had to wait almost an hour in line to get food at the concession stand because the concession people sucked so bad, and ended up missing almost 40 minutes of the game along with the entire halftime to feed our kids. He spent around $30 bucks at the souvenir stand and I $137. Not to mention that it is a eight hour round trip to make sure I am their on time. Now Vasco might not be the norm, but damn I spend a lot of time and money supporting my team, I do not think it is to much to ask them to show up on game night. They are only playing 45-50 nights per year. I plan my Saturday's around their schedule. They only thing that really bumps them is my kid's games.
I guess since my team can't show up on game night, then I am going to have to support them from my couch via the cable TV, no I won't pay extra for MLSlive or Direct Kick that costs extra, and I don't need to spend extra on them if they can't show up five times in fifteen days to play a game. Yes I know it is a physical game. Last week I worked seven days for a total of over sixty hours, I showed up for those days and worked hard. I put off other things to make sure I was 100% when I arrived at work. In case your wondering five of those games are over now, they won 2 by a combined total of 6-2 and lost 3 by a total of 8-0. Columbus is next on the list Thursday evening on ESPN. Columbus scored 4 goals last night against Chivas, before the two red cards were issued.
All this being said The drive for six trophies is still on after ending their pursuit of one this week.
I am reminded of a game in the NHL back in the early 80's, for those of you who are hockey fans you would remember that was the Gretzky and Edmonton Oilers who went to 5 straight NHL championship rounds losing the first and winning the next four. The last game of a long road trip the went to New Jersey a pathetic team back then managing 40-50 points a year. New Jersey won 13-0 over the reigning NHL champions and the team that won the championship that year as well.
All is not lost but MLS better take note that the players better show up and play game in and game out, or their just might be more fans watching from the TV. Instead of enjoying the games in person. After all I get to enjoy my kids games in person ever week, why pay a ton of money to get frustrated with the our pro team. When I can just stay home and invest two hours and get some stuff accomplished.
This is Vasco's opinion, I am guessing their are a few of you that might be saying I have a point.
Don, Kevin and Tom, you better take note.
