That's still two changes.
The 4 & Q intersect at 14th St.
D remains a one-seat ride.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

Cosmos inked Starikov today..... keep your eyes on this kid, he's lethal and finally back into a program where he will hopefully deliver the goods. 

You pretty much hit the nail on the head with that one. He totally changed the game when he came in as a sub yesterday and set up what should've been a goal with pretty much his first touch of the ball. Game was pretty much what you would expect from a team that was hastily reassembled two months earlier after having been disbanded. Also played on a pitch that would be sub standard for a pub league.

Someone screwed up the delivery of my tickets. Team claims tracking shows they arrived at my door a week ago. Unless one of my neighbors is a fan of lower level soccer it was either never delivered or delivered to the wrong address. Best part is the package contained the STH scarf and when I asked if that would be replaced they said they ran out and needed to get more. If I was a betting man I'd wager I never get a replacement. Even better was the team cold calling me last week flogging seasons, totally unaware I already had them. As chance would have it I ran into an old friend at the Isles a few days ago in the form of Flaco. He proceeded to tell me just how totally fucked up the Cosmos were and are from the top down and why he ditched them. And from my recent dealings with them I couldn't disagree.

Flaco ,,. t(old) me just how totally fucked up the Cosmos were and are from the top down and why he ditched them. 

There are probably two sides to that divorce, although I'm sure his version is more interesting.

WPIX are going to show the Cosmos vs Miami live from MCU Park, Brooklyn tonight at 7:00PM. Is this an April Fool's joke or is 2nd division soccer really that big? Or is WPIX just that desperate for programming?

The Cosmos owner wrote them a big check. It's basically a time buy.

That would explain it. On the plus side it's more soccer on the telly to watch. Been non-stop at my house since the Merseyside derby.

Some interesting quotes from their owner.  So, he's pretty much a self-admitted eurosnob?

Not sure why anyone would buy a ticket to a Cosmos game when the owner says it's not good enough for him to watch.

Christ did Flaco ever hit the nail on the head about this guy.

Cosmos are offering comps to all STH's for their next home game a week from this Saturday. This is not a good sign.

Announced crowd of 3,605. On TV, it looked more like 605.
