I love authentic footy names but unless they actually mean something they are just as trivial as team names. For some reason I associate Victoria with royalty so they could pull off Royal title but only if it was in English (i.e. Royal Victoria F.C.).

I give them a pass because they're owned by the company that produces Chivas scotch and owns Guadalajara in Mexico, whose nickname is 'Chivas.'
At least theres a reason behind that name.

Anyone else actually really pumped about the Whitecaps game today? I'm liking that Western Canada is going to be represented in the MLS this season.

Ya I find some of the names to be ridiculous.
DC United? Who did they unite with? No one...
Real Salt Lake? Real Madrid was granted to be a royal club in 1920, Salt Lake is obviously mooching off their identity.
Sporting KC? They were the Kansas City Wizards until last year, but decided a re-brand after building a new stadium.
At least Chivas USA makes sense. They are owned by Club Deportivo Guadalajara, who are nicknamed the Goats (Chivas).

Keep your eye out for Russel Teibert. Young Canadian kid, came up thru the Caps residency program. He's starting today. PLayed on a few youth Canada teams. Lenarduzzi believes he will be a main stay on the national team in a few years. Hopefully this is just the start of these Canadian teams developing some great Canadian youth players and that can translate into seeing this country in Russia or Qatar in 10 years or so.

they are just taking European type names
Toronto are the Reds (Liverpool)
like you said there are a bunch of FC's, United's, Sporting, Real's (Madrid is not the only Euro club with Real in front of their name)
I think it's kind of silly personally

And De Rosario scores the 8000th goal in MLS.
This game's been surprisingly good given it is between an expansion team and a mediocre opponent.

got the game on in the background, lots of goals so far! 
Resolute: soccer is a weird sport sometimes.. the worse the teams are the more open it is. When big teams play, sometimes they grind each other down in the midfield to a stalemate.

ROFL... he gets a yellow card for that celebration, but the full on bodycheck a couple minutes before was just a free kick?
