Our national soccer team. This is great news. A highlight of the summer. I'm going to Saratoga that weekend, what a great week.

Why are you posting the junk on a Football board!? Nobody knows what the hell USMNT is or cares. Go post this on your FB page if you want someone to care.

We talk about the USMNT all the time here.
Go post on the other two UConn sites with the other mouthbreathers.

My avatar gives away my affinity for futbol, but this board talks about off-topic, or tangential-topic stuff all the time. If we didn't the board would pass time waiting for the next "View From Section 241" scrolling through pages of HFD /slashes and Fishy tell him he is a retart (can you believe I have to use 'retart' to avoid the censor?).
But if you really need a justification in the middle of the off-season, how about keeping tabs on how our facility is being used in the offseason?

Haha - looks like we have a conclave of Spurs fans. Cody thought it was bad talking about the US National Team, wait until we get going on whether Tottenham can hang on to a Top 4 EPL finish and a spot in the Champions League, and the upcoming Europa match where we finish off Inter-Milan

Even with out Bale Thursday, we should be good. Might be a good thing, actually. Let him rest.
We need Lennon back asap. He's a huge part of what makes us tick. Really wasn't a huge fan of the side we saw at Anfield...but it is what is. We still should have won, handed it away with uncharacteristic sloppy defensive play.
Top 4? Screw that. Let's run down Man City...Top 2!
Take that Cody.

I for one am interested in this bit of news.
Went to the last USMNT game at the Rent and really enjoyed myself. Will probably look to get tickets to this one as well.
I am in no way a diehard soccer fan but do play FIFA a lot and due to that I actually follow the Spurs now. WHH and NS, what chances do you give Tottenham of making champions league?

I'd much rather be where Tottenham is, than where Arsenal is. We still have some big matches left, but many of the remaining games are manageable. Spurs have known plenty of heartbreak, and I'm knocking on wood, but the likelihood of Spurs making the Champions League is higher than them not making it, at this point.
Come on you Spurs.
Cool video for the Spurs fans (and I see there are a few of us!) :

I've heard the support is excellent in KC...haven't seen one of their home games on TV yet though, to be honest.

When I was here three years ago, they played in a Minor League baseball park and it was always sold out.
It's in a great location outside of town, it's basically a commercial, shopping, residential entertainment district (which is what the area around the Rent ought to become). Parking is a piece of cake, and you can hit a bar, go to dinner or do whatever, and then walk across the street and watch a Pro Soccer game. It's very popular.

At least top four will be good enough this year ( Chelsea!), and it is looking good as of now. Bale has been top 5 in the world as of late and they have had just enough to hold on in so many occasions. The back line makes you sweat, but it has been enough so far.

Another Spurs fan? Holy crap. We need to set up a game watch with everyone some time!

Any event held at The Rent makes it on-topic, dopey.

Make sure you get tix to the last home hex game against Jamaica in October. I don't think it's officially announced yet, but that seems to be the belief that the last qualifier will be in KC. I'm thinking about going out for that because the atmosphere is supposedly fantastic.

Nutmeg,
Agree with your assessment and we have some tough matches coming up (Chels / Man City @ home / Swansea on the road - tough place), but I like where we sit and I especially like that we got 4 points against Man U this season. I would put the odds at about 60% making CL. Last year was a heartbreaker, but I think this team, and Bale especially, has a chance to be really special. I suspect a CL run would quicken the pace on the new stadium and given how well run the club is financially (they will have the building paid for before moving in) the extra money should position them to stay at the top of the league for years.
Zoo - that stadium has looked amazing. I'm really impressed by how the management was able to turn around the support for the club (getting out of Chiefs Stadium was huge). They are now up there with the top supported clubs like Montreal, Seattle, Vancouver...but not quite Seattle which averaged an incredible 43k a game last season.
I actually think Hartford is the perfect location for an MLS team. Good sized market, no summer competition, stadium configuration & size are about perfect. If the Revs don't get a new field and I think they would be foolish to not at least take a look down here.
