It's good to see so many people at a soccer game in the US. I wish I could have gone.

I did go to that game and let me tell you, when DC scored, it was so loud when the people cheered and everyone went nuts. it was pretty cool, the only other louder game that I've been to was the U.S.- England game in Chicago.

man that stinks, who wants to see little punks playing BASEBALL? Soccer is the best sport in the world. At least show respect by Airing the games.

I wish more European Footbal Clubs would make their pre season camps here in the U.S. Its a lot better then going to China or Singapore. We also need more games in the Southeast.they always play in the same cities: Chicago, NYC, Seattle, Los Angeles, or Houston. Why cant games be played in Atlanta, Miami, Birmingham, or Nashville so soccer interest and fanaticism will grow herein the Southeast?

the reason for that is that teams like chelsea are from a much colder are and they simply cant handle the heat.

the heat should have nothing to do with it if it is a night game
