MLS Thread: New Season, Same Dirtball

Loss goes to Vermes, good for Jake at nailing his chance.

 

Yep. That's typically what happens when you give up a shit goal and go from a win to a draw. Sucks imo.

 

An all star keeper would have made that save imo

 

More dirty Atlanta united getting a leveler at the death

 

Crew just signed this guy

Meh

 

Meh? Seriously?

 

Better not be meh for $2.5+ million

 

I'm expecting him to instantly be our best winger/forward/attacker

 

Vela does not seem like a Bob Bradley type guy

 

They could have brought Rafa Marquez back to MLS

 

Higuain came out and said he was leaving after this season so guessing this guy or Meram or they shift full time to the 3-4-2-1

 

Like Finlay a lot but he's definitely the odd man out

 

Good move from both sides. Writing was on the wall for Finley.

 

Sounds like the Derlis deal has fallen through. I'm pretty sure it was reported he was already in Seattle and watching practices so it's weird. And unless Qatar and the Crew pull their heads out of their cunts tomorrow the Nemeth deal isn't going through either.

 

Also if you heard that Disney is pulling into its Netflix deal and making their own streaming service, part of that is an expanded watch espn. One article I read said it would feature MLS games and content. I'm still pissed at then promising us every MLS match and a whip around show on ESPN3 two years ago and never doing it.

 

Where will LAFC be playing? Closer to town I'm assuming than basically Long Beach?

 

Plenty of rumors about Guardado to MLS the last few years.

 

They are building a stadium right next to the Coliseum where the sports arena used to stand.

 

Vela will be a bust

 

I understand LA/NY are big markets, but what is the reasoning in giving them two franchises? You would think MLS wouldn't want to potentially have one franchise in the same market suffer.

 

There are about 20 million people in the New York Metro area and 13 in LA.....the other markets they are looking at for expansion (besides Miami) have 4 million (Detroit/San Diego/Tampa) or less. Those markets can definitely support two teams. In regards to LAFC, anyone in LA and the San Fernando Valley is unlikely to attend a Galaxy game because of the distance to Carson, downtown LA and the old Sports Arena site is familiar for those people. They are only about 12 miles apart I believe but that can be an hour drive.

 

;killme; (which doesn't seem to be working at the moment)

 

LA is the only place I will complain about traffic.

 

Add in the Inland Empire and Ventura County and looking at around 18 million in So Cal. I think it would've been better off if the Galaxy eventually moved closer to downtown and another MLS club in OC.

But nobody in OC stepped up. And the LAFC owners are doing a lot of things right.

 

DC's owners finally at least showing they give a shit with the new stadium opening next year.

 

might go to my first DC game in like a decade next year.

 

Arriola to DC

United has already completed deals for Bolivian forward Bruno Miranda, 19, and Hungarian midfielder Zoltan Stieber, 28, and is about to acquire U.S. midfielder Russell Canouse, 22, from Germany club Hoffenheim.

 

Christ, they sent 500k allocation to LaG for Ariolla because they held his rights.

 

Pretty sure the cartel drug lords are pretty established in LA, no need for Rafas services there.

SJ-SKC tied 1-1 in the 60th in the Open Cup Semis. Sporting has 80% possession and is taking point blank shots left and right.....no way they win this.

 

.....Extra time

 

Official

 

Those sweet sweet Garber bucks

 

MELIAAAAAA!!!!!

 

Woah, the house remodeling must not of gone well today.

 

The Nemeth-NE deal doesn't make any sense to me. Paying 400K allocation for his rights plus whatever salary and allocation money they waste buying his/other players salaries down when they already have Rowe, Fagundez, Nguyen, Caldwell, Swag, Kei, Bunbury, Watson. Their roster was already nothing but attacking players. Weird.

 

They don't make any sense to me. On paper, they should be an attacking juggernaut in MLS

 

They're like the middle schooler who sets his FIFA line up. 3 strikers, 2 wingers, 2 CAMs, 2 full backs, 1 CB.

 

That sounds like drunk me
