Messi is just a genius. So good.

Also, APOEL and Lyon in PKs. Worst way to decide a game. But Goddamn, its fucking exciting.

I just found out today that APOEL is a Cypriate team. I had no idea they even had their own league.

That's crazy for a Cypriot team to make it this far. I mean, that league can't be better than MLS? In fact, I'd wager on the whole it's probably worse.

MLS teams are back at it. LA at Toronto from Rogers Centre (place is packed) in the CCL. 1-0 Toronto early.

Galaxy ended up turning it around and tying 2-2 headed back to LA. Should be theirs for the taking considering they didn't lose at the HDC all last year.

Seattle beat Santos 2-1 at Century Link field too in the first leg of their quarterfinal.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Crew start off in the hole already. 2-0 loss at Colorado. Shouldn't be that surprised though. Still a long season.

LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL
The five goals, plus the recent hat-trick for Argentina against Switzerland, means Messi has scored 14 goals in his last five games for club and country.

I think I like this whole MLS deal with NBC.

I'm not at all a big MLS fan, but it's still soccer. Not having FOX Soccer absolutely kills me, and now I definitely will watch more games now that they're easier to access. I think that this deal brings more exposure to our domestic league, which is absolutely fantastic. It's one thing to be promoting the best soccer in the world in the EPL, La Liga, but to get the fanbase excited about our own league is big.
