I haven't been paying attention to much transfer news but I've seen like 10 Costa Ricans linked to various clubs. There's also the crazy rumor that some firm wants to buy the Cosmos rights + the Redbulls franchise and rebrand.

Ulises Segura and Daniel Colindres from Saprissa are definitely going abroad, they're good so I'll be glad to see them leave the purple cunts, they will be useful in almost any MLS club.B.B. Rodriguez posted:Rumor: Roy Miller to Portland! He did this the other day https://twitter.com/tdmas_cr/status/809595021053796353 He was wearing purple so of course the ref didn't give the penalty.

Got a tour of Orlando City's new downtown stadium while it's currently still under construction. Looking decent. Grass should be installed soon according to the tour guide. This picture is from the supporters section known as 'The Wall' which is terraced so standing room only. Now only if the team was less trash. I believe in you Kreis.

Here's hoping for a bright future. I will be happy Miller is going to probably play every S2 game instead of sitting on the bench behind Frei.

Back to the pick up/rec league discussion from earlier. We have 60 or so people that play with our group. We field 2 coed futsal teams year round, 2 (maybe 3 this year) coed outdoor teams in the spring/summer, and a 7v7 team in the dead of winter. We also play pickup at least 1x a week and 2x a week in the summer when we have enough daylight to make it worthwhile. Skill levels range from played in college to just started playing in the last year or so (like myself). Of all those games & pick up days, there's only been 1 dude who has been a problem, and he's not "trying to Messi" he's just a ball hog that always fouls way to hard for "super chill pick up". B.B. Rodriguez posted:Rumor: Roy Miller to Portland! There have been a pile of players from Saprissa linked to Portland because of Porter's trip there. It's pretty safe to say that nobody in Portland thinks this rumor has any truth behind. David Guzman on the other hand...

Chicago Fire sign Legia Warsaw striker Nemanja Nikolic. This may be the first Fire signing in a while actually worth getting excited over.

I'd say it's more likely to be a motivation for him to excel, especially given his off-field shenanigans. We sorely need a decent backup keeper though, even if Gleeson gets to keep his job.

They just confirmed the JG Ortiz deal. LDA sold him to Herediano and they loaned him to DC.

Not really, this was a silly transfer drama where Herediano were constantly negotiating with the guy in the last phase of the tournament, probably to destabilize the already in shambles LDA, but they didn't reallly want him or need him, pretty shady mind games and bullshit.

Then I remembered Gleeson was the good backup.

Azerban posted:this is the worst league You've got it all wrong. The punishment for failing in the final step of their Cup quest is that they are cursed to wander the continent, haunting desperate wastelands such as Minneapolis and Kansas City. They will eventually be allowed to return home, but only after their pilgrimage has sufficiently atoned for their shame. That's what I choose to believe, anyway.

Many and it owns, they're gonna be destroyed next season. Ulises Segura is the other one who is likely to leave and he's good too. Their extremely streaky keeper Danny Carvajal is likely to go as well. They will get the corpses of Sabo and Junior Diaz though so that's something. And yeah last time Calvo moved from Herediano to Saprissa, he negotiated with Saprissa while they were playing a final series between each other. Herediano fans accuse him of throwing the game but that's doubtful.

But the Timbers could use another corpse right now. So, MLS likes players that play in 1.) Liga MX and 2.) Costa Rican Primera Division. And maybe a couple from Panama? Do we care about any other islands or central american countries, or are they really just there to pad the FIFA vote? edit: yeah, just ship a couple CONCACAF corpses up here for cheap.
