    Taking an unofficial survey. Who's crazy enough to be awake like me right now? #USWNT #USAvAUS

    Many fans think soccer in the U.S. began with the 1994 World Cup in the US or the kick off of MLS in 1996. There is a century of history of great players and stories to be told
    Replying to @TaylorTwellman and @soccerhof
    MLS lacks one thing that other countries have: a celebrated history. You build that by honoring your past. From clubs to league, that essential building block to fandom is relatively ignored. IMHO could be a symptom for the general apathy in the vote.

    Heard from one source that the #NERevs are struggling to find many viable candidates for the head coaching job in wake of the Friedel firing. Guess the team's reputation precedes it #MLS

    Well, I might not be in Columbus, but I believe I have the most comfortable seat ever at an #MLSCup I am on a couch with plenty of pillows. I am not shivering my ass off and the line to the bathroom is pretty short. Hope everyone enjoys the game!

    I want to wish @NERevolution head coach Bruce Arena a happy 70th birthday. No, that is not the Fifth Beatle in the picture. That's Arena when he played goal at @LionsNCC (Nassau Community College). That's Ben Alberto pictured with him. #NERevs #MLS

    While covering the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Toronto in 1987, I was giving out copies of Soccer Week. I gave one to the great #Pele. Without any prompting, he suggested that I take a picture of him reading it. Rule No. 1 for sportswriters: Never say no to the #GOAT

    I am signing off for the night. I have been covering #USAvMEX games for 3 decades and this one ranks up there as one of the best confrontations I have witnesses (and I have attended every #dosacero game for the #USMNT game). It had everything you wanted in a match (1/2)

    Got my 2nd shot today! May 13 can't come soon enough!

    I'm surprised the referee still has room on his card to write down all of the yellow and red cards. He lost control of the match. He should be red carded from future #Concacaf tournaments #USMNT #USAvMEX #Mexico #ConcacafNationsLeague

    In case you are wondering, the all-time championship game attendance for a North American final was in the 1978 Soccer Bowl -- 74,091, when the #NYCosmos defeated the #TampaBayRowdies #ATLUTD #TimbersFC #MLSCup #ATLvPOR
