Also, for those who are not familiar with the way the schedule will be broken down, here's a reference guide [credit to jjfor this]:
Conferences are 10 in East (Us) and 9 in West...so our schedule is:

1 x 9 v Western Teams = 9
3 x 9 v Eastern = 27

TOTAL = 36....I guess the trick is balancing Overall Home and Away when the West has a wierder way to get to 36

1 x 10 v East = 10
3 x 8 v West = 24

Subtotal is 34...two games short....

Giaco beat me to it Gotta check it now.

 

[Jntg4]

Ooh... MTL first game

 

[Jntg4]

On NBC twice in June, and just over a week after the second one we are on ESPN in August!

 

[Jntg4]

3 of our last 5 games on national TV!

I fucking HATE ESPN. Their cameramen and crew are bastards, and I hope they do not have any broadcasts from TP.

Anywhere else is fine, but not at our house.

What's really inexplicable shit are the two fucking midweek 1PM?!?!?! kickoffs we have.

 

[Jntg4]

Ya, that is really just bad scheduling there.

 

[nwfisch]

:yeah: :fire:

 

[giaco]

Although, I like that they have respected the FIFA dates, and the few times they infringe by having a match on those days, the matches can be moved by mutual consent of the two teams involved--so at least they did something right there.

 

[Jntg4]

:yep:

I do understand that it is pretty hard to schedule this considering the unbalanced schedule and uneven number of teams.

Just one. July 8th vs The Gals from LA. We have TWO midweek kickoffs? I only see the one, July 21st at NY, and that's a noon CST kickoff. That's still quite mind boggling, especially in a metropolitan area such as NY/NJ. They have to have up their sleeve for that game.

Almost forgot about this: I made a calendar for the 2012 schedule. Here's the link to the iCal format of it, so you can import it into outlook, google calendar, or iPhonePodMajig.

any word on a stream of the DC match on the 29th?

 

[Jntg4]

No, I've been checking their website often to see if they've said anything yet, but there's been no news, not on the Fire's website anyway.

Hey Lee....there are a few trialists that they do not want public yet, so I doubt there will be streams until the New Orleans game--and even then, I'm not sure of that.

just a head's up.....it's interesting in camp with the comings and goings.
