Your Basic MLS Golazos- 2 In One Game

((HT: Sportsnet))

Jair Benitez knows how to use his lob wedge...

Evidence last night as FC Dallas took on Vancouver...
See...??? We told you... But what we didn't tell you was that the goal by Mauro Diaz before Benitez was another golazo on its own... ((HT: MLS))
We like the Benitez golazo better...

Long Night For Steve Nash And His Whitecaps

((HT: WorldHeadlines/MLS/Time Warner SportsNet))

MLS was in full swing last night along with the Gold Cup quarters in some cities and the late game on the west coast was a match-up between the LA Galaxy and the Vancouver Whitecaps.

The Caps had a 1-0 lead in the 29th minute when there was not a goal turned into a goal...


And, so the game is now tied at ones and the reporter for Time Warner tracks down Whitecaps part-owner Steve Nash for a quick interview.

Let's just say it spiraled out of control quickly on a bunch of different levels...
And some of this is NSFW, so keep your speakers turned away from young ears...


The Galaxy won 2-1 to help out the HQ's fantasy numbers, so we're grateful...
But, maybe, the lesson is not to have live cameras near bachelor parties...

OSG MLS: Cascadia Match-Up Goes To Seattle... Again...

((HT: NBCSN/MLS))

The city of Seattle was trying to prove a point...

That grass could work at the Link...
That they could pack the place for another round of the Cascadia rivalry...
And that the city could be a good host to a World Cup qualifier (or a World Cup if the US Soccer federation chose to pursue one down the line)...

It worked on all fronts...

More than 53,000 showed up to cheer on the Sounders and the Vancouver Whitecaps- who were still trying to win their first match-up in the modern era. The Whitecaps scared the daylights out of the home team, but it ended up 3-2 for the Sounders.

Here's your highlights...
“We love big crowds,” said Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid, noting Seattle’s unbeaten record when over 40,000 cross the turnstiles. “We’re able to showcase ourselves in front of people who don’t normally get to come to our games. It had a tremendous atmosphere.”
The Sounders sent their unbeaten streak to 39 matches at 31-0-8 when they score the first goal.
