MLS Thread: New Season, Same Dirtball

Getting Zheng into the fold seemed to be the final piece for Phoenix.

Also not putting the club out in the middle of nowhere should be a big plus.

 

About. Fucking. Time. Kick out Port State and quit being cheap asses.

 

If you want to get into mls you need a rich owner and a stadium plan completely locked down. Having a built in fanbase is nice but it’s not getting you through without the two above things. I think everyone knows MLS isn’t stopping at 28 so it’s really just a battle to see who gets all their shit together earliest between Phoenix, Detroit, St Louis, San Diego, Sacramento and whoever else has interest.

 

Soccer Fans Excited To Hate The Columbus Crew Again

Why the rush to expand to 32? Why is that the magical number? Because the NFL?

 

Because money

 

Shaun, you should learn your savior’s name is spelled Haslam without an E.

 

You’d think as a Browns fan I’d already know this.

Learn something new everyday

 

Spelling his name wrong while cursing them just adds effect. This is the first positive thing the family has done to make you understand your error.

 

Ha, looks like Carlos Vela was trying to arrange a hook up in Guadalajara and the “girl” he was chatting up on Instagram ended up calling him out and roasting him pretty good, she also happened to be a “he” as well.

 

As a lifelong NYC fan I can’t imagine them being taken away from me. Congrats Shaun.

 

Officially renewed as a 2019 Columbus Crew STH. Wasn’t planning on it with just buying a house but after Friday I had to

 

Sucks if true. Dude should of been a star in this league but he was stuck up in no mans land Montreal

 

Brek Shea, pull up your socks, you scrub

-Everybody

 

I'm really happy for Rooney. His last couple years in England he looked like he wasn't even having fun playing anymore at times, but he came in and immediately made himself a part of the team, pretty much single handedly turned them into a playoff team, and all his teammates seem to love the shit out of him.

 

Men in Blazers had a clip of their interview with him earlier in the week. Cool listen, seems like he just wants to be another guy and not treated like a superstar.

 

Bye bye Tata and Miggy

just a big loss for our great league

 

I think MLS told them if they used Ford field they wanted a retractable roof and a grass field.

 

Big day fellas, multi-screening like it's football Saturday over here, exciting times indeed

 

Never would've thought a Ben Olsen coached team would be fun to watch.

 

Atlanta's stadium atmosphere is incredible for an MLS team

 

and Acosta picks the corner from outside the box, he's pretty good

 

Chicago with the own goal after squaring things up

 

RB somehow not down, but might be up a man to start the 2nd half.

ATL midfield looking less than so far in their match.

 

Outside backs for ATL also going with the bold strategy of letting players dribble past them and putting in balls at the touchline.

 

Big props to MLS playing these Leastern conference games as the opening act for the far superior Bestern conference headliners. Just genius marketing.

 

DC and Philly have supplanted NYC and Crew and the 3rd and 4th teams in the east.

 

fuckin hell this is some scary defending

 

Handball by bedoya, should be a Red Bull PK.

 

VAR comes through, Kaku nails it. Jersey and Katai putting pressure on Atl U.

 

Josef's not having his best game

 

That's why it never pays to cheat. Ball was going to hit him anyway. Didn't think it was egregious, but still no reason to have them extended at all.

 

This is why OC fans pulled the upset over Seattle and Atl in Max and Hercs ‘worst in mls’ rankings:

 

He forgot he wasn’t the goalie and went for the two hand punch.

 

Clear and obvious foul on Escobar before the PK.

 

Philly needs some speed on their team. I don't think I saw them get in behind once.

 

Atl and RBNJ both get the W. Comes down to match day 34.

 

If you lose to ocsc, you deserve to be relocated

 

If they had a player like David Accam they’d be deadly...

Their midfield is really smart and really technical. Great spacing passing and movement. Baird coming on towards the end of the year was huge in their run and Ilsinho can dribble through anything.

 

Except when it comes to where they put their arms in the box.
