Hmm, Marquez sits, RBNY wins.
He's pretty much played like for them this season too. The fans were booing him non stop that night so I'm sure that got to him but it was ing dumb. Pretty sure he's going to be moved somewhere.

MONTREAL IMPACT SIGN FORMER INTER MILAN DEFENDER RIVAS
MONTREAL -- The Montreal Impact have made former Inter Milan defender Nelson Rivas their first player under contract for the jump to Major League Soccer.
The 28-year-old Colombian joined Inter from River Plate in 2007 on a 7.5-million euros (C$10.5 million) transfer. He made 28 appearances for the Serie A side, helping the club to two Italian league les.
He and Inter mutually agreed to end his contract on Aug. 31. He signed for two years plus an option year with Montreal.
Rivas was loaned to Italian club Livorno in 2009-10 and spent time on loan to Dnipro of Ukraine this year. His last game for Inter was Jan. 12 against Genoa in Italian Cup play.
Rivas said some European clubs showed interest in him, but he was lured to the Impact by the chance to be a key player on a new club.
"I talked to some compatriots about the league," Rivas said through a translator. "I know it's very physical and compe ive and that it's a league that is becoming more important around the world."
Coach Jesse Marsch he was looking for a physical central defender. He said opposing players don't like to play against Rivas.
Sporting director Nick De Santis said Rivas was recommended by a contact in Europe and he had to move quickly to sign him.
Salary details were not announced. However, a team spokesman said he will not be a designated player, or one who is allowed to earn more than the league's salary cap for an individual player.
Montreal is set to join Major League Soccer in 2012, becoming the third Canadian team in the league after Toronto FC and the Vancouver Whitecaps.
The Impact also hired former Seattle Sounder Preston Burpo as goalkeepers coach, bumping Youssef Dahha to coaching the keepers of the team's under-21 development squad.
Congrats to the LA Galaxy for getting the Supporter's Shield!
Big big match tonight between the Union and Red Bulls. Very much looking forward to at least catching parts of this game.
Ought to be a good one.
Last nights Timbers/ DC United game had an incredible finish. Back & forth for a good 15-20 min straight.
LA gotta win tonight in CCL too.

Puttputt,
Is Burpo any good ?
Galaxy will take care of business. Only reason we're in this situation is because CONCACAF refs blow balls.
Burpo is a pretty good coach. I wish the Sounders could've brought him in. Been a good scoutCan't ing wait
Puttputt,
Is Burpo any good ?
Pretty much all the CCL refs have sucked ass.
I expect LA to win, but it may not be the easiest of wins. Big field & you guys got a lot of injuries.
Yeah Robbie is out and Landon is on one leg. The Big field is good for the Galaxy though. HDC is probably the biggest field in MLS. Just hope its not that turf bull that they had in Costa Rica.
Oh I do think we get Sean Franklin back too.
I edited above. He hasn't worked with the Sounders for a while. He's been a scout for the US soccer Federation & has consulted with the Sounders. He's a Sounder favorite from back in the day.
I think it is same type of turf, could be wrong. But I always forget how big the pitch is a HDC. Read earlier they're going to probably bring Landon off the bench. Good luck to the boys from LA.
Very solid MLS resume
Can't wait for the 2011-2012 season
The Montreal Impact suck TBH, but the addition of Rivas (Inter Milan) and Burpo should help us improve
Twitter from @SteveDavis90: Bruce Arena said on this morning's Soccer Today radio show that David Beckham coming back is "50-50." I'll link to podcast when it goes up
Would be a big loss for both Galaxy and MLS. PSG are rumored to be signing Becks, though Tottenham and QPR are also rumored.
Yeah - they offered him an extension a while ago and he still hasn't accepted and you have rumors flying around from teams in Europe so its definitely not a slam dunk.
I'm going to the game in Houston tomorrow - hope he or Landon play but I kinda doubt it.
Meh
Becks is overrated anyway
You obviously haven't seen him this year, he's been in amazing form.
FC Dallas choked in the wildcard against NY.
Tonight the Crew & the Rapids go at it.
in amazing form in the MLS
Yeah I hear set pieces are much harder in the EPL. The defense is just so much better. Lets not even talk about how well EPL teams defend people taking corners. Beckam would not be able to place the ball on a dime in the EPL because, well, ummmm. MLS SUCKS.
MLS doesn't suck. Ya so we don't have quite the talent pool of the EPL & a few others, but still better than it used to be.
