Hello Towel posted:I don't really care that much about broader notions of "American soccer" or whatever the gently caress you guys are parachuting in here to post about. Glad you're above it all but to have a Local Team for you to watch while you drink Stone IPA and talk about all those times you never actually played soccer yourself the league should be economically sustainable. Also you'll have more folks to do this with if the product isn't rear end and piss.

This is getting close to personal attacks and "real fan" accusations so lets just stop talking about the supporters of this league and either go back to talking about why the league is so insanely structured or, god forbid, the game being played. e: Also KFBR392 you're going to have to settle down on the old memes if you want me to keep pretending I don't know who you are.

You guys do know that most other leagues in CONCACAF (and even CONMEBOL maybe) do playoffs and poo poo like that to keep interest up, see also the "torneos cortos" phenomenon. No league in the Americas does a proper "European style" standard championship. MLS is fine and it's definitely the second best league in CONCACAF and in the top 5 in the Americas. Also see Argentina or Mexico with their crazy relegation systems or the fact that everyone changes the rules/structure of the tournament all of the time. Some of the MLS rules are very "American" but it is a thing in the whole continent to do crazy/silly things with our leagues.

Would this be the thread to discus the potential US/Mexico joint host for the 2026 World Cup? Because the concept is interesting - it would certainly be a boon for Fox Sports, who currently has the rights not only to the World Cup, but also to some US and Mexican national team matches.

Hello Towel posted:I didn't get to watch the Fire game last night and I'm probably happier for it. I was not expecting your coach to be that angry that early in the game; the "gently caress!" cries started around minute 6. By the end of the game two Salvadoran guys came to my row just to hassle Alvarez. Also, I think other than Accam, Alvarez, Kennedy, and Lampson--wait, Harrington too--the rest of the lineup was like "who?"

Paunovic is a good coach; I hope we can hold onto him. Accam is almost definitely on his way out, though, along with Sean Johnson.

I'm hearing that Herediano's Keyner Brown might be heading to MLS soon. He's a decent CB who sometimes does something stupid and becomes a liability. Similar to how Waston was before going to Vancouver but not so huge.

Haven't the Dos Santii had issues with the Mexican NT for a long time. I know there was a rift awhile ago that included a few players.

Fire sign Dutch striker Michael de Leeuw, but he won't join until July. He's the next in an illustrious line of Dutch strikers in Chicago that includes Sherjill MacDonald and Collins John.

So this Dutch guy is signing fresh from a team in Thailand. I'm sure he'll be worth every penny. Seriously there have been guys who've washed out of the NASL and USL who end up there. Quality stuff from Chicago.
