  1. “i like “chupacabra”. chupacabra is like the mexican boogey man. sucks people/things blood.

    it does mean “the chupacabra returns for Mexican blood.””

  2. “Ives, you should’ve included the translation for the “el chupacabra” poster:

    El Chupacabra is like the Mexican version of big foot (i think known for eating/drinking blood of livestock?).

    “vuelve para sangre Mexicana” translates to “returns for Mexican blood” i think…”

    Haha definitely my favorite part in that movie.

    Well I think Howard completely showed why he’s one of the best Goalkeepers in the world. If not for him MLS All stars win easy by like 3 goals.
    Also an injured Donovan is still really good. I agree with Andy in Atlanta, I know he would do great in the top leagues. He really was playing great against a good EPL squad. He has the tools to be successful. He was making great plays tonight.

  4. Man Howard is sooo good. I love him, and so glad he’s between the posts for the Nats.

    MLS was BY FAR the best side though, and def should have won. I do wonder how many points in the table Howard single handedly wins for Everton — my guess is quite a few.

  5. Landon was not 100% tonight and you could tell…that being said…anyone that thinks Landon could not hack in the Prem is just kidding themselves because he is world class in my opinion…Nothing flashy but so effective and scares the devil out of tired teams when the game opens up.

  6. Loved Keller’s comment about wanting to be around for when Portland and Vancouver come into the MSL. I’m a Timbers supporter, and I can’t wait for it. Good times to hear about Seattle-Portland on the big post game interview. A+++

  7. What a great way to end the game, it was almost like a 3 pt. shootout or a dunk contest soccer style. Keller was good and Howard was amazing, good way to finish it off.

  8. Well, props to Howard, that just gives the USMNT even more momentum going into the Azteca, Both Casey and Donovan Score and then Howard wins it. Yes.

  11. Good sportsmanship from Everton to allow Keller to re-enter the match. Would have really liked to see Connor Casey in the nets though. Hehe

  14. I hate that JP gets so excited over “penalty kicks” Almost as if he thinks hes going to get some Hawaiian Punch or something.
