Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

cooshmoosh:

The game may have been delayed half an hour because of the lightning in the area; but after the storm the sky couldn’t have been more beautiful.

I’m so proud to be a Sporting fan.

I’m so proud to have gotten to see our team take the cup.

Lastly, I’m very happy that Kansas City finally got a sport that we don’t totally suck at.

Fuck yeah, Kansas City.  Fuck yeah.

Holy shit these pictures holy shit.

At the end of this I go on a crazy lady rant and basically scream at USMNT/USWNT fans who are fighting. I suppose it might be vaguely entertaining.

Check out the stoppage time from the May 1st podcast when we take on Simon Borg, drink beer, and discuss starting XIs. As usual you can find all of the videos on the stoppage time page up top.

More on Simon Borg being sexist and how it didn’t shock me:

When Simon Borg said that female super fans weren’t appealing to men, at first I was very confused. I mean, I am MARRIED. When I got married, I spent some of our honeymoon money to pay for season tickets. When we moved in together I took over our office and turned it into a Dynamo room. My husband still married me. Clearly I am at least a little bit appealing. Then I thought about it some more. Why are we shocked that this guy made such a sexist comment? This is the same man who said that there should be no punishment and everyone was taking it way too seriously when Colin Clark called a ball kid a “fucking f****t.” He is clearly homophobic so why would he NOT be sexist? He is the MLS equivalent of Rush Limbaugh. That being said, I want to take this moment to say that before this incident, I have never once been discriminated against for being a lady in the soccer community. Quite the opposite, actually. I have good relationships with people in the Dynamo front office, assorted players, and tons of fans. I haven’t met a guy yet who has  treated me any differently because I am a lady. I find that when most male soccer fans figure out that I know what I’m talking about, they get really excited and just want to talk some more. From what I have read, many other female fans/staff/etc. have had the same experiences. The podcast that I co-host weekly has a pretty healthy number of male listeners, despite the fact that we are called Girls in Goal. It doesn’t seem to bother them. The male reaction to Borg’s comments was overwhelmingly in support of female fans. So no, I don’t think that sexism is an issue in this community. The issue is that Simon Borg is an employee of Major League Soccer. When he opens his mouth he is representing Major League Soccer. His views are NOT that of the league. His views do NOT encompass the majority. That is the problem. What he said is going to make the news, and it is going to hurt the growth of this league that we all love so much. That isn’t good for anyone. Simon Borg hurt this league and he should lose his job.

note - the segment on Simon Borg begins at about 4 minutes.

I legitimately get tears in my eyes over Danny Cruz in this one. Also I got a little tipsy towards the end there…..

Once a special snowflake always a special snowflake.

Once a special snowflake always a special snowflake.

Once I landed I felt the pop and thought ‘Oh, that can’t be good.’ Then I heard Tyler [Deric] and Adam [Moffat] yelling for the trainers to come over and in my head I was thinking ‘Oh man that really can’t be good.’ Once they flipped me over I looked down and thought ‘That’s not the way my elbow usually looks.’
