I don't know who he is, and I don't even actually get the joke (is it a reference to something?), but I still chuckled.

/also tried to say it backwards.

I can't believe after finally ditching the Dallas burn and Kansas city wiz/wizards we're adding a team with as dumb a name as Impact. Ridiculous.

Stupid Canada.

Montreal is going to be terrible next year.

There. I said it.

Every time someone calls Big Ben "raplisburger" are they a plagiarist? When someone cracks a Rex Ryan foot joke, are they stealing material? Is the A-Rod purse picture only allowed to be used by one person? Subby is just telling the joke over. If that wasn't allowed, Fark comment threads would be two posts long.

/not subby
/obvious by my approved link count

Liked the headline, but now I think Subby needs to have a word with teacher after class.

I just want to say fark you to all the soccer people around here that got me hooked on EPL and MLS. I now enjoy soccer more than just the usual World Cup or CONCACAF qualifiers. And also now my son and i watch the Saturday morning ESPN2 EPL game together. Its still behind football but its a blast to watch.

/next year going to a chicago fire and philadelpha union game

LOL good headline subby. +1

This is not American sports.
Nobody of importance cares.

The real question is, will he be training with Montreal's Official Dive Team to learn the finer points? : )

I am a soccer fan and I live in Montreal. Also, I don't care. MLS is not a real league; it is private club like the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB.
Forza Inter.

The name Impact has been around for a long time, but you are correct in your assertion that is it a stoopid name.
Now the Montreal Manic of the original NASL was a cool name.

And yours would be one of them.

Family Guy. Adam West prints out Alex Trebek's name backwards (Kebert Xela) and sends him back to the 5th dimension.

But yes, as a previous poster says... subby tried a bit too hard.

I have to out myself as the Subby. But in fairness--I just saw the name in the article on Fox's front page and thought of it. I couldn't give a rat's ass about soccer, much less read articles about it from years ago.

Does it REALLY strain credulity that (at least) two people might look at the name "Ubiparipovic" and think of Mr. Mxyzptlk. I think I should be docked a few points--but only for making such an obvious joke.
