Colorado Foxes, I Mean Rapids Win MLS

The MLS seems just so far away doesn't it? The closest teams playing in New York, Philadelphia and Canada. This week the Colorado Rapids hoisted the MLS Cup for the first time with a dramatic final victory over FC Dallas on an own goal, in overtime.

It was fun to watch, exciting atmosphere all around. But for some reason, with every MLS season, it feels like it's played in a different country.

Yeah, we get the MLS combine and a nice on boat dinner with MLS coaches every January, but what about real games? We need real games.

'Tis the Season

It's that time of year again, and no we aren't talking President's Day galas here. It's MLS Spring Season!

The MLS Combine is done and the Mexicans still can't beat us within our borders. Now the MLS teams, like Ontarian Snow Birds are flocking south to gear up for their 12th season.

First up is the Colorado Rapids vs. Real Salt Lake. Billed as a return of MLS to Broward Country as several players are either former Fusionistas or local area collegemen and residents.

In any case, Striker Likers will be in full support so keep your eye out for the Gold, Red and Black. The game will be played at the new Central Broward Regional Park (just west of the Swap Shop on Sunrise Blvd). The game is Friday, February 22nd, at 7:30pm. $10 for adults, $5 for those under 18.
