#UNLEASH the Links 7/16/2014
Orlando City came down hard on their supporters groups after the Tampa Bay incident. From what I’ve seen their SG’s got away with a lot and went unchecked for too long due to being pretty isolated in the giant Citrus Bowl. This season has been a big wake up call to them. Word on the street is a bunch of them were thrown out of their last home game (after the above sanctions). Steve Fenn over at Stat Hunting has the playoff odds for the various US based leagues including

A more appropriate title for my laissez-faire posting habit. The second half of the Hounds season started the same way the first half ended (and generally went), with a disappointing loss at home.

The US Men’s National Team made it out of the group of death and will be taking on a somewhat lackluster Belgium tomorrow afternoon. The hype space train is running at full steam, and with it a couple new watch parties popped up late last week. Here’s a quick run down of the “big 4” you’ll probably hear about. The American Outlaws @ The Claddagh The Pittsburgh chapter of the American Outlaws have been running kick ass parties from the start and aren’t letting up any time soon. The Claddagh
