Gigi Galli posted:Is this the guy with the internalized defibrillator? I forget where he's from. He's 22 with a heart defect that means he could die while 'under maximum exertion'. You better believe he's got more than just a defib. I'll bet he's got the same device I do that paces, defibs, and pumps all at the same time.

Tigren posted:Hahaha, yes, trade away the golden boot runner up and fan favorite because he wants to score more goals. Great way to make your fans happy Precourt. Even if he IS an arrogant locker room cancer and that's why they're trying to move him, there are teams who need goals who will take him (but far fewer who can take his salary, so I suppose the Columbus Drama Crew soap opera will make waves in this summer's rerun season.)

Pogatetz was cut not long after airing out some laundry about missing playing time. To be fair to Pogatetz, he was benched in favor of chumble gently caress defender Tyson Wahl. Who knows what amount of quaaludes went into the idea that Tyson Wahl is better than someone who has spent significant time as the Austrian team's captain. Moving Kamara is pretty loving stupid, and it just shows that Berhalter cannot contend with people that buck against the grain. Not to mention the fact that he makes absolutely no adjustments to his supreme vision. He'll put square pegs into round holes until they fit goddamnit. Any of the handful of dweebs putting out feelers in their wordspace blog about berhalter being on the short list to take klinsmann's spot are skullfuck idiots. i wonder what poo poo player adam bedell is up to these days... the good news is the crew still has a sack of coleslaw in the form of conor casey to smack some balls into the net when they bow out of their second 2016 open cup game. lol

Last year, former Fire player Hunter Jumper posted a bunch of tweets criticizing the Fire's medical care of him and other former players, including Mike Videira, whose career was allegedly shortened or ended by bad care. Bakary Soumare is apparently suing the team and/or MLS (according to his Twitter). Since the Fire had an off weekend, I thought I would put my law school education to some kind of use and look into some public court records. I couldn't find Soumare's case, but it turns out that there's a lawsuit out against the club's athletic trainers. The hole of dysfunction in Bridgeview grows ever deeper.

This is what makes guys like Sigi and Bruce so successful. They actually manage these man-children and make sure their egos don't explode all over the team.

Crazy Ted posted:Part of me thinks that when Chicago NASL starts up next year we could have a situation like the one with the Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago Wolves before Bill Wirtz died, where fans were so sick of the big team that the minor league became just as big of a draw for a brief period of time. And then the Fire eventually win a couple of championships and everyone bandwagons onto them? Nah, that won't happen. I'm still not convinced that Chicago NASL is even going to get off the ground, because they're going to run into the same problems (e.g. crowded market, finding space to play somewhere in the city) the Fire ran into ~10 years ago with less clout and organizational experience. But we'll see. I hope they do well.

So some guy is claiming on Twitter that Zlatan is leaving whatever team he's on in like 2 hours and going to the Galaxy.

They should add a lot more teams. See, if you told me in advance that Portland vs Toronto would draw over half as many viewers as a Man City match, I would say that's a pretty good deal. If we were talking 15 million people watching Man City and 300k watching Portland, that would be a different conversation. But even Manchester United vs the BPL champion Leicester City can't crack a million viewers. In that context 300k doesn't seem like a bad number to me. I mean, I realize the narrative is "everyone loves BPL and everyone hates MLS," but if you offered me a random (and I do mean random - no rivalry, no nothing) MLS match having a third the viewers of a Man United match vs the BPL champions, I'd call that pretty successful.

Crazy Ted posted:The issue is how fast it's expanding. The issue isn't just speed of expansion but what is happening to older clubs. Teams are allowed to have bad management, flounder for years, poo poo on fans and on. Chicago, DC, Chivas, and many other clubs are just evidence that the 'central power' of MLS is a fiction.

 WARNING: PRO/REL CHAT I'm 90% sure that the reason MLS is expanding at its current rate is so that they can one day introduce promotion and relegation that they can control. Since MLS is in both the US and Canada but only sanctioned by US Soccer, they could go around the rules and, in true MLS fashion, make up the rules as they go along.

MLS will need to have more than the ~5% growth it currently has. It would need to be like 20-50% a year. Otherwise the financial risk is too much for any team
