Ottawa Is Still On The Ass of Vancouver & Montreal

EugeneMelnyk

The funny thing about the MLS expansion race is that you don't hear a damn thing from anyone for months but then all of a sudden one group says "We're still trying to get a team" and this avalanche "Hey, we're still in this too!" articles comes flying at you.

Portland started off the latest round of madness last week, quickly followed by Vancouver and some overgrown children who carry dolls. Yesterday the Mets waved the flag around for the endeavor with the biggest sense of entitlement attached to it, Queens NY, and today Ottawa's Eugene Melnyk reminds us all that they exist and that they have a press conference coming next week to announce their plans for a soccer-specific stadium.

Next up? MLS to Asbury Park, NJ...you heard it here first.

Look, Asbury already built the press gallery for its stadium:

Seriously though, an MLS squad in Asbury Park would be awesome. Pre-game tailgates at Asbury Lanes?

More like pre-game on my back deck.

If Asbury Park gets an MLS team, I'm moving. To one of those fixer-uppers with a nice front porch. You know, like the Metropolitan Hotel.

SF, Your blog is addictive. Keep up the great work.

It was great to meet you at the Nash-Reyna event. We don't have a sense of entitlement, we just know we deserve a team more than anyone else. hahaha
