If we play Seattle it will be at home.

If we play LA it will be on the road.

LA is currently up 1-0 on Seattle heading into the second leg...which is tonight at 9pm on ESPN2.

Great to see FC Dallas moving on in the playoffs. Let's hope it's a home game...would be great to see that one!

What does the "GO HOOPS" mean?

[Mean Green Matt]

"Hoops" is the team nickname...although they have recently been trying to move away from it. It comes from the red (home) and blue (away) stripes on their uniform, that go all the way around below the numbers...forming hoops.

Not all teams have mascots attached to their names in soccer. FC Dallas, Manchester United FC, Chelsea FC, etc. have the FC abbreviation and no "mascot." Other do not have the FC in their name at all (mostly American teams)...like Columbus Crew, LA Galaxy, Colorado Rapids, etc. Other have both, like the Seattle Sounders FC.

LA advances to the Western Conference championship. Gonna be a tough game, next Sunday at 9PM on The Deuce.

Also, two Western conference teams (San Jose and Colorado) will play for the Eastern Conference title.

[Mean Green Matt]

It would really be nice if they reseeded all the teams after the first round. San Jose and Colorado finished 6th and 5th in the west respectively, and Dallas and LA finished 3rd and 1st respectively. In a fair world, LA would be hosting San Jose, and we would be hosting Colorado. Oh well.

LA has never lost a home playoff game. Hopefully we can be the first. Atiba Harris will be back from suspension, and hopefully we get back either Milton Rodriguez or Heath Pearce. Should be a great game.

[Coffee and TV]

Was really really tempted to go to LA for the game, but it just wouldn't be fiscally responsible. Need to keep credit card low to pay it off with Xmas money. If you do decide to go, oddly enough you can get there for about half the price by driving to Houston and taking continental. $220 > $420 in this particular scenario.

Looks like the league is recognizing FC Dallas' success.

FC Dallas' Schellas Hyndman named MLS coach of the year.

[Mean Green Matt]

Hyndman totally deserved this award. He has done a great job of building this team into one that has a shot at the MLS Cup.
