Huge success was achieved in the fund raising for the film Rise & Shine: The Jay DeMerit Story. Producers were looking to raise $215,000 by today, and the final tally came out to $223,422 pledged by 1,937 people.
STORY OF THE DAY
It was a couple of weeks since the New England Revolution front office management and their most ardent supporters got into a brouhaha over treatment at the hands of security. The team says stop chanting "You Suck Asshole" and the supporters say "stop sending in the goon squad." They had a meeting to clear the air, but it didn't seem to solve much. Their first home game since the clash happened on Sunday and the fans made their point.
In a letter from the teams fans who occupy the stand known as The Fort posted on the website The Drug Is Football they address the New England Revolution players, coaches, and technical staff. Here is a taste of what they have to say:
For purposes of the Revolution vs. Union match, supporters in The Fort will protest by wearing black while refraining from standing, chanting, singing, waving flags or drumming for the first fifteen minutes of the match. The protest will conclude in the 16th minute with supporters walking out of the stadium for the remainder of the match, this in recognition of 16 seasons of (as yet) unresolved issues between fans and the Revolution organization.
The Revs hardcore supporters did exactly what they said they would do this weekend - they got up en masse and all walked out during the game. Do you think team ownership will get it now? Doubtful. See the video here.
"The supporters all wore black shirts and sat in silence until the 17th minute, at which point they rose, made noise, and all filed out. Sons of Ben applauded. It’s now a mausoleum in Gillette."
Most of the media ignored the story.
Expect Kyle McCarthy of the Boston Herald who opened his game report on the topic.

TEAM USA AT THE 2011 WOMEN'S WORLD CUP
The Women's World Cup - Germany 2011
dN
Final
You dominate the first half, you score the first goal, you score another goal to go ahead in Added Extra Time, and then you lose the World Cup final in a Penalty Kick Shootout. Rough. It was all there for the USA to walk away easily with the title, but they lacked the fortitude to put the game away, and Japan slid through the small cracks to steal it all.

FIVE VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS
All courtesy of MLSsoccer.com
A high flyin' kung fu goal by Carlos Ruiz for Philly.
dN
Houston gets a goal on yet another smashing free kick by Brad Davis. What happened to the KC keeper on this one?
dN
Aurelien Collin of KC became a huge villian for Houston fans after drawing not one but two red cards on Dynamo players, then scoring the game tying goal in the 90th minute.
dN
A diving header from Fredy Montero caps a strong Seattle attack. And he finishes it all off with a little baseball.
dN
And just moments later the Sounders kill off the game with a strong counter attack that ends with Mauro Rosales firing low and hard to the backpost - he made it look easy.
MLS TEAM & PLAYER NEWS
General News
Vancouver's game against Salt Lake was postponed due to a flooded field. They put real grass over the fake turf and hard rains turned it into a rice paddy.
-The traveling RSL fans got the old screwgie.
dN
Steve Davis of Sports Illustrated gives us five things we learned from Week 18.
dN
Seattle midfielder Maura Rosales was named MLS Player Of The Week.
-He is quickly becoming a huge favorite here at du Nord WHQ.
dN
And there is a monstrous 5 game Wednesday on tap this week!
COLORADO RAPIDS
Conor Casey appeared to suffer some sort of an achilles injury on Saturday. No word yet on the extent of the damage. It did not look good when he went off. He seemed to be in a lot of pain. The club says they will no more in a few days.
DC UNITED
DCU has acquired midfielder Austin Da Luz from New York. I have no idea what they gave in return.
SPORTING KANSAS CITY SC
SKC has signed a new Designated Player, 27 year old attacking midfielder Jeferson from Vasco de Gama in Brazil.
-Terez Paylor of the Star tells us more about Jef.
dN
KC also signed a loan deal for 20 year old Trinidad & Tobago centerback Daneil Cyrus from FC Santa Rosa in T&T.
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION
Frank Dell'apa of the Globe reports on the Revs efforts to shore up their roster. The big bag of stiffs they brought in since last season are mostly already gone.
dN
NER releases veteran French fullback Didier Domi. He did play about half their games so far this season, but he made to differnce on the field.
dN
And their other veteran player Ousmane Dabo has retired. Unfortunately yet another bust.
NEW YORK RED BULLS
New goalkeeper Frank Rost had a very unmemorable debut. And that is a good thing in Red Bulls land because their keepers have been making headlines for blunders nearly every week lately.
dN
Brian Lewis of the Post talks to coach Hans Backe on how he keeps Juan Agudelo from imploding under the weight of his own hype.
dN
Lewis also has some basic NYRB team notes for a Monday.
REAL SALT LAKE
I have a been a bit mystified over the past couple of weeks listening to the pundits on various podcasts and radio shows talking about LA, Seattle and Dallas the the cream of the league, with RSL being put into the second batch with Philly, New York, Columbus and Colorado. To those pundits I say, "What is it you jammed into your pipe?" All RSL did in their last MLS game was hammer Dallas into a pulp.
-Kurt Kragthorpe of the Salt Lake Trib sees it like I do, RSL is a front runner.

(NOTE: 6 more players will be named as All Stars but not on the game day roster by their peers)
*Original 11
#Text voting winner
@Commissioner's picks
And this is my list of players who have been fantastic and possibly got robbed:
-Osvaldo Alonso
-Nat Borchers
-Conor Casey
-Davide Chiumiento
-Aurelien Collin
-Charlie Davies
-Jackson
-George John
-Joel Lindpere
-Andres Mendoza
-Drew Moor
-Nick Rimando
-Carlos Valdes
And why NO ONE ELSE from Seattle? Jebus!
Keep in mind that Dallas and Seattle both begin their CONCACAF Champions League campaigns the night before the All Star game etc etc.
The defensive choices are particularly insane: Corey Ashe, Geoff Cameron and Bobby Convey? No offense to any of these guys personally but are you kidding me? All 3 are natural midfielders.
And Omar Cummings and Juan Agudelo? Really? There has to be 6-8 more deserving forwards this season.
-I bet anything that Agudelo is more of an Adidas pick than a Don Garber pick.

FACT OF THE DAY
13 goals were scored in 7 MLS games this past week, with 7 of them coming in one game.

FIVE VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS
All courtesy of MLSsoccer.com
A high flyin' kung fu goal by Carlos Ruiz for Philly.
dN
Houston gets a goal on yet another smashing free kick by Brad Davis. What happened to the KC keeper on this one?
dN
Aurelien Collin of KC became a huge villian for Houston fans after drawing not one but two red cards on Dynamo players, then scoring the game tying goal in the 90th minute.
dN
A diving header from Fredy Montero caps a strong Seattle attack. And he finishes it all off with a little baseball.
dN
And just moments later the Sounders kill off the game with a strong counter attack that ends with Mauro Rosales firing low and hard to the backpost - he made it look easy.
MLS TEAM & PLAYER NEWS
General News
Vancouver's game against Salt Lake was postponed due to a flooded field. They put real grass over the fake turf and hard rains turned it into a rice paddy.
-The traveling RSL fans got the old screwgie.
dN
Steve Davis of Sports Illustrated gives us five things we learned from Week 18.
dN
Seattle midfielder Maura Rosales was named MLS Player Of The Week.
-He is quickly becoming a huge favorite here at du Nord WHQ.
dN
And there is a monstrous 5 game Wednesday on tap this week!
COLORADO RAPIDS
Conor Casey appeared to suffer some sort of an achilles injury on Saturday. No word yet on the extent of the damage. It did not look good when he went off. He seemed to be in a lot of pain. The club says they will no more in a few days.
DC UNITED
DCU has acquired midfielder Austin Da Luz from New York. I have no idea what they gave in return.
SPORTING KANSAS CITY SC
SKC has signed a new Designated Player, 27 year old attacking midfielder Jeferson from Vasco de Gama in Brazil.
-Terez Paylor of the Star tells us more about Jef.
dN
KC also signed a loan deal for 20 year old Trinidad & Tobago centerback Daneil Cyrus from FC Santa Rosa in T&T.
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION
Frank Dell'apa of the Globe reports on the Revs efforts to shore up their roster. The big bag of stiffs they brought in since last season are mostly already gone.
dN
NER releases veteran French fullback Didier Domi. He did play about half their games so far this season, but he made to differnce on the field.
dN
And their other veteran player Ousmane Dabo has retired. Unfortunately yet another bust.
NEW YORK RED BULLS
New goalkeeper Frank Rost had a very unmemorable debut. And that is a good thing in Red Bulls land because their keepers have been making headlines for blunders nearly every week lately.
dN
Brian Lewis of the Post talks to coach Hans Backe on how he keeps Juan Agudelo from imploding under the weight of his own hype.
dN
Lewis also has some basic NYRB team notes for a Monday.
REAL SALT LAKE
I have a been a bit mystified over the past couple of weeks listening to the pundits on various podcasts and radio shows talking about LA, Seattle and Dallas the the cream of the league, with RSL being put into the second batch with Philly, New York, Columbus and Colorado. To those pundits I say, "What is it you jammed into your pipe?" All RSL did in their last MLS game was hammer Dallas into a pulp.
-Kurt Kragthorpe of the Salt Lake Trib sees it like I do, RSL is a front runner.

#Text voting winner
@Commissioner's picks
And this is my list of players who have been fantastic and possibly got robbed:
-Osvaldo Alonso
-Nat Borchers
-Conor Casey
-Davide Chiumiento
-Aurelien Collin
-Charlie Davies
-Jackson
-George John
-Joel Lindpere
-Andres Mendoza
-Drew Moor
-Nick Rimando
-Carlos Valdes
And why NO ONE ELSE from Seattle? Jebus!
Keep in mind that Dallas and Seattle both begin their CONCACAF Champions League campaigns the night before the All Star game etc etc.
The defensive choices are particularly insane: Corey Ashe, Geoff Cameron and Bobby Convey? No offense to any of these guys personally but are you kidding me? All 3 are natural midfielders.
And Omar Cummings and Juan Agudelo? Really? There has to be 6-8 more deserving forwards this season.
-I bet anything that Agudelo is more of an Adidas pick than a Don Garber pick.
