Match Thread Rules:

Absolutely no illegal streams. We listed legal means for you guys to watch the games. We really cannot afford to have problems and we hope you guys understand and abide by this rule.

Be critical, but not offensive. We're all tolerant people; we all get frustrated at a bad call the ref makes or some foul that the opposing team makes. We encourage you to post your thoughts, just think them through before posting them. Keep things PG-13.

No abusing of other commentators or match officials. None whatsoever. Zero. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Verboten, Verboten, Verboten!! We're all fans, bear that in mind.

Express yourself how you normally would. We allow for profanity (within reason), but any sexist, racist and/or homophobic comments and replies will result in immediate blocking and banning of future participation.
