Weren't they supposed to start this season?

I suspect they will never start.

NASL remove OKC from the website and Oklahoma City FC is no longer exist for the mens soccer.I think Energy FC killed that team

all 10 of you still holding out hope for that NASL team here huh?

Nope. Even I don't believe that anymore.

How sad & unfortunate for the NASL Oklahoma City FC? Reminds me of that final round when Sonny Liston sat there in his seat and couldn't come out against Muhammad Ali.

Man, that was quick. Like a marquee fight and the challenger couldn't answer the opening bell--the referee never got the chance to bring the fighters together.

Did one of Sonny Liston's trainers go over to Ali's corner between rounds? Did he also take Liston's mouthpiece with him and give it to Ali?
And did all his followers say that by stealing his mouthpiece, and joining Ali's corner, that he was "uniting all boxing fans"?
That's more apt of an analogy. I think ;-)
I really like reading Laramie's things. Unlike the rest of us, he seems to always keeps his objectivity when reporting on something.

With perfect weather Saturday night, how was the crowd?

Not near what opening week was, but still about what last years crowds were (4,000+).

As far as the game, I thought we were gonna roll them up early, but then we continued our tradition of giving up SOFT goals and not converting open chances.

Also, the ref was a little too lenient. We have had that guy red our COASL games and for us he is great because he lets us play and does t call very little thing, but for this level that lets things get out of control and that came to head in the second half. Still though, we have to take advantage of chances when they are there.

LOTS of high school area proms!!:)

Norman Music Fest also

Fassler Hall had special beer on tap, too, I believe

"Oklahoma Girl" was at The Purple Loft Art Gallery

"Husbands, Wives and Lovers", an exhibit of artwork by Norman-based artist, Mary James Ketch in which she creates a series of paintings that question our current behavior and how it reflects our future desires, was at The Project Box

We get it: you don't like the Funks. Don't hijack this thread.

Borchard was probably there wearing St Louis garb.

we get it: You don't like the funks. Don't hijack this thread.

amen!!

He has managed to manipulate some you guys; not hijack the thread. Notice how cleverly he posted 3 consecutive replies before anyone reacted. Tell me he's not engaged in the game? The local hunger is there. The conversation is what he has hijacked...

Don't give up on him; Borchard loves soccer. Give him time...

As long as he's posting on this thread; it wouldn't surprise me that he's slowly and skillfully putting his dislike aside that he has for the Funks for the betterment of the game he so loves.

Poor Barons - they were playing Playoff hockey too.

He did it in a span of only 7 minutes... hard to say that it took a while for people to react. I only check certain threads once a day, if that...

Right!

Sometimes that's all it takes if you have the right bait; you feel something nibbling away then you reel it in...

Or the guy was being a straight up jackass.

Breaking News: Due to weather Energy FC vs LA Galaxy II has been canceled

you think they'd update social media or do an email blast

you think they'd update social media or do an email blast

That's what I've been waiting on. All we have right now is that dude from the Oklahoman.

I just talked to a trusted source who said it's not cancelled, but they have been debating how to handle the weather. He said to me (and I agree) it's professional sports, you see it out till the very end. I am in agreement with him.

The Energy's twitter tweeted that it was moved to 8/4/15.

Yeah, that sucks. Oh well.

If we were playing Tulsa we'd probably still be playing. I see the travel side of the argument of Galaxy II

Jimmy said that this past week that it could get canceled due to travel issues with LA Galaxy II and he announced the game got canceled to the media this morning

Not cancelled, but rescheduled.

Energy in action tonight, watch party at Skinny Slims if anybody is interested.

Energy FC vs FC Dallas on June 16th in Fort Worth. It should be fun.

Completely don't understand why US Soccer awarded this game to FCD. They can't play in their own stadium, due to construction which has been planned for quite a while. And their BEST option(?) is to play the game 54 miles away in a stadium that only holds 1,500 people?!?! And people wonder why the USOC isn't seen as that big of a deal by the rest of the non-soccer country. the USOC SHOULD have awarded the game to OKC, if FCD couldn't come up with a better option than Garvey-Rosenthal stadium.

OKC didn't put in a bid to host any of the games. I'm not entirely sure why, but that is why it is being played in Dallas. If I understand correctly, none of the USOC matches will be held in OKC.

Is this some kind of sick joke?

What's in that blue barrel? Pickles?

Last time I was in Fort Worth; visited my Cousin Isabella Knootz before she died, looks like her blue pickle barrel.

Wow...that seems like a bad idea, in retrospect. Everyone on here probably knows by now about my anti-boner towards all things Bob and Tim. But what a complete bungled cluster foxtrot to NOT see the benefit of a possible home game against an MLS team!??! Boneheads.

Hey something we can agree on, lol.

I just wanted post this here to let everyone know where we tailgate before every home match (yellow area). Come and join us this Friday!

Oklahoma City Energy FC vs. Portland Timbers 2 - Llive from historic Taft Stadium in Oklahoma City.

Interested to see what the attendance will be. I just checked the website and there are literally thousands of seats still available. Perfect weather for tonight, too.

Oklahoma City has reached a level of transition in professional sports. The OKC Thunder as of 2014-15 season accumulated 205 consecutive sellouts which dates back to 2010-2011 (five seasons).

If OKC used the old Continental Basketball Association's Oklahoma City Calvary as a benchmark to determine our city's capacity to support a big league franchise, we would never have obtained the Thunder. The Calvary had one good season where the team averaged 5,000 fans. We thought that since the CHL Oklahoma City Blazers averaged 8,000 to 11,000 in what was seen as their lucrative years that OKC was ripe for the NHL.

The success or failure of any minor league soccer franchise should not be used as a gauge to determine if OKC is ready for Major League Soccer (MLS). Listed below are the components necessary for the next level:


1. Population
2. Facilities
3. Ownership

Until our city invests in an MLS type facility; you will continue to see minor league teams & athletes come and go. We would not have an NBA franchise if our current arena was not used as a corner stone to lure a big league franchise.

Tonights attendance was 3,113 lowest this season.Don't know why there wasn't more of a crowd for tonights game

We can always use the "b-but there's just so much other stuff to do in insert city here" excuse.

Cities have used that for their teams for years. Usually for pro teams, but it's close enough.

They are now 5-2-3 and right in the thick of the division race.

But only have scored 16 goals while giving up 13.

That's a pretty tight goal differential.

Last night was great, being right there behind the goal when the Energy score is awesome.

All those early ties hurt that goal differential plus we aren't blowing anyone out, but good to get 3 points.

Michael Thomas' forehead got exploded open last night, hope he is okay.

There was no excuse for the attendance. Perfect weather. Friday night game. No Arts Festival this time. Even the supporter's section wasn't full. My wife and I both have noticed that after deluging the area with advertising last year, and even at the beginning of this year, all of a sudden Prodigal has slacked off, it seems.

That entire south grandstand is not all The Grid, it's also general admission.

I expect Friday games to have smaller crowds than Saturday. A lot of folks just want to get the F home after a week of work. We almost did, we had a griping four year old that almost forced us to miss.

They were competing against the Dodgers last night. Announced attendance was 10, 800 at the Brick.
