It was the most incredible game I've watched. Also the most stressful. Altman said his mom was so stressed she was sick.
It's a two-game final, home is on the 22nd vs the Ft Lauderdale Strikers; away is on the 29th.
We're starting the new season soon (probably -there is the small matter of the league not being sanctioned. Long story; IMSoccer News has the highlights: NASL Releases Press Statement Concerning US Soccers Decision to Decline Sanctioning | ). Anyway, we're getting ready for the new season, and...
We're back! Okay, we're a step closer to being 'back'. We have a team, and if sanctioned, will have a league to play in. Thanks to Mendoza* for investing his $20million for the cause.

*Okay, it probably...
We do have some amazing goalkeepers here. The Carolina keeper (Nic Platter) played in Minnesota last year, for the Thunder.
Matt VanOekel is a star in his own right.

STARS TV: 5-13-10 - NSC Minnesota Stars (starting at about 1:55)
"Band" is a generous term. :) If you want to play, pick up a drum, grab a cowbell, bring a horn, join in however you want. No skills or talent required.

Mendoza: No luck yet on photos of Takada, or game video either. The video comes from the home team, and I don't have much faith in AC St Louis getting it done.
Last night's game was great fun - very WET great fun - and NSC should have the video up soon.
I'm pretty sure Nessy was swimming near...
I will mope around the house a lot (I have experience from last year when the Thunder went away) and return to my Eurosnob ways.
I think we can watch EPL and Serie A, plus Euro 2012 qualifying and Champions League...
No such luck. Since 1 August, we've had 2 draws and 2 losses.
Against the MLS-bound Portland Timbers, 'Papa' Joe Warren picked up a red card and VanOekel was subbed in to defend the penalty kick (unsuccessfully). The rest of his game was good, including a nice double-save at 1:27 in the...
I've received the shirt and scarf! I tried to post a photo, but it's not cooperating at the moment...
Thank you, Mendoza!
The exchange is complete. Almost. I'll drop your scarf in the mail today. ;->
