    Confirmed. Kinda out as well. See everyone in 2023. No point in playing this one out.

    Its still amazing to me how big football is here that the AAC gets the same payout as MLS.

    They don’t really have many real fans anyways right? So probably doesn’t make a difference and Bancstadium destroys Yankee stadium

    We traded up to draft a guy who has to go be in the Navy lol

    Maybe Navy will just let him leave. He's apparently 6'8" and we all know that's way too tall to be bopping around on a boat.

    Could be an elite flag signal guy, maybe.

    What the fuck Ike? Sporting needs scouts too bro. I will laugh when Jacobs wins 2 cups with Nash before Vermes ever wins a second. Vermes will probably have an aneurysm.

    It’s one of those fishy something happening behind the scenes MLS trades. Midseason last year LAFC sends MAK to Col for $1 million plus incentives. Now Col sends Acosta back for $1.1 plus incentives. My guess is it was basically a MAK-Acosta swap agreed to last year but Col wanted to keep Acosta for a playoff run so they did some shenanigans to delay the Acosta move.

    If Dallas is actually using their incoming transfer money to spend on players like this, then this is definitely a new era in MLS.

    With like 4 straight picks Vermes went Chance Meyers->Espinoza->Besler->Zusi. First 2 were 2009 I think and the next were 2010.

    13 on senior spots, 2 are loaned out (League allows 20)

    10 Supplemental, but includes Bento Estrela who's 16 and Edelman and a few others who'll be RBII guys. (League allows 10, so solid work there.)


    We have some draftees, but seems like we're 7 guys short. Wasn't off by much
