New England Revolution v Manchester United - Pre-season Friendly

This reminds me of my favorite MLS naming scenario. KC were originally "The Kansas City Wiz". Bad enough was when they played Dallas in the playoffs. That club is now called FC Dallas. At the time, it was the Dallas Burn.

So, yes. We had the regrettably-named Wiz-Burn match.

Burn!!!!!

Do the Colorado Rapids still exist?
 
NY/NJ Metrostars -> NY Redbull

where's the barf smiley

I remember them well, must have been in Championship Manager 4 cause we had just signed Howard from them and i would have to go and buy him, you could also get Rooney on a free because he was only 16 and hadn't signed a pro contract yet :drool:
 
The worst thing is when European sports teams try to be North American and take names like that. Like the ice hockey team Frölunda Indians... from Gothenburg, Sweden. Makes no sense.

Well exactly. They should have their own team names. Copying is the saddest bit. It's a little geographical signature in a way. Iberian teams are called things like Sporting Club de, or Athletico Club, English teams things like Town & City & United...American Teams are called things like the Falcon Hooves, or the Flaming Torpedo Pigeons....As long as they don't try and change any of the rules, they should call their clubs whatever they like. The more "American" the better.
 
Great save, lovely work Fabio & Berba with the shot.
 
Rooney should be scoring, nice cross Nani.
 
Complete miss hit from Rooney, really.

Not very nice from Young that.
 
I kind of like the Vancouver Whitecaps logo

Agreed. The saddest thing is that it's an old prestigious organisation from the 1930's that changed it's identity in the nineties. A lot of teams did (Bears, Lions, Redhawks etc) and it was pathetic. Most changed back.
