Weirder than losing a player on a free transfer and then immediately getting him back on loan? Could be Denis Hamlett Prime, but it still seems shady to me somehow.
Scuffed did a podcast with some sports media guy where they broke down the Apple deal. Was a good listen. Said he expects Apple to demand the same high quality cameras that they did for MLB broadcasts. He expects Apple to buy the NWSL rights from CBS after this year. Something I didn’t realize that’s quite funny. Fox sold all those regional networks and turned into Balleys. I guess Fox sold them to Disney, who immediately flipped them to Sinclair for $10 billion. Since the switch was such a disaster they’re now valued at $2 billion 2 years later.
Westwood says Charlotte FC has proper Premier League set up and could compete in the Championship. Certainly a different vibe this year compared to last in the CLTFC camp. Lol Spoiler "The professionalism, the way they work, the way they train and the hard work we’ve done so far this first week has been incredible," Westwood told the media Tuesday from the club's preseason training camp in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Westwood added: "The work that the staff have done – for me, the way the set-up is here, it’s a proper Premier League club. It's something the club should be very, very proud of." In fact, some of the work he's put in under head coach Christian Lattanzio so far this winter surpasses anything Westwood has ever experienced as a pro. "The running we’ve done, it’s been harder than an English preseason," said Westwood, who's under contract through the 2024 season with a club option for 2025. The comparisons don't end there for Westwood, who believes that Charlotte would not only compete, but thrive in the English second tier. "From what I’ve seen with this group, I think it’s probably top Championship-level," he said. "That’s what I’ve been told and that’s what I expect."
maybe if stamina sliders were turned all the way up and injuries off, mls squads still don't have the depth for the Championship though
It’s a real kick to the balls when you get the notification “New Athletic Soccer Show” and I immediately fire it up craving the soothing sounds of Paul and Sam’s nonsense but instead it’s whatever show Felipe Cardenas and Pablo Maurer do.
Anybody have the early odds on Josef hat trick in his first game vs Atlanta in Atlanta? I need to bet the farm on it.
Lol at those Club Fut odds. That +4/5000 range seems to be where the values at (ORL/TFC/PTFC/SKC/CLT).
Charlotte CB Anton Wakes (formerly of ATL) passed away at training camp overnight. 25 years old. Cause unknown yet.
I was hoping Juarez would go to a city I've never been to before, let alone lived in. Should be a fun trip either way
And with rumors of inter league transfer fees coming (instead of just trading allocation money), small progress being made on MLS’s batshit mechanisms
As always my spirit animal expresses my feelings perfectly. Is our crazy little league actually trying to kind of pretend to be legitimate?
