Philly Fans Poll: Do You Care Less About LAG vs The Sounders Or RSL's CCL Match today?

by Scott Kessler on Mar 15, 2011 3:02 PM EDT

This post is mostly a joke towards RSL Soapbox and Stumptown Footy, with both sites posting real polls based on "what are you going to watch?" Think of this as a way to make your jokes about any of the teams involved in the comments section below.

Ignore the fact that the 2011 MLS season is starting again. Do you actually care about the two MLS related games today?

Real Salt Lake faces off against Deportivo Saprissa, of Costa Rica, in the first leg of the two team's match up in the CONCACAF Champions League (CCL). Salt Lake defeated fellow MLS team the Columbus Crew to move onto the next round of the CCL.

But do you care?

Every Philadelphia Union fan has awaited the start of MLS soccer and tonight the Los Angeles Galaxy and the Seattle Sounders ply in MLS' first game of the year. The beginning of MLS 2011 First Kick takes place in Seattle, Washington.

But do you actually care about this game beyond the fact that it happens to be the start of the 2011 MLS season?

I’m getting a free shirt due to LAG vs SS so i will probably put it on after work. I will also be putting on the destroying of UAB..

I care extremely highly about both of these, so I don’t really know how to respond… I guess I care less about First Kick since the result doesn’t matter as much in the long run.

And I understand that this poll is mostly a “joke”.. But I don’t really get the joke at all. Both games are really important but will be played at the same time, so a poll asking which game one will watch makes peefect sense…

I would much rather see MLS make a statement by having a team win the regional championship for what would only be the 3rd time (and first time in this format), but I’m more interested in actually watching Sounders-Galaxy because of the players that will be on the pitch – Angel, Donovan, Montero, Zakuani, etc.

Thanks to the miracle of the internets, I will be watching both games – CCL game on tv while streaming MLS opener on ESPN3.

I was more interested in the result of RSL/Saprissa (wanted to see RSL win) than the league game (don’t care which team won). But given that we play both the Galaxy and the Sounders and we only play RSL plus the fact that I have ESPN in HD but not FSC, I watched the MLS league game.
