I agree with everything in the previous two posts. Audi Field will be modern and have better sight lines, but the team will still be poo poo and the crowd will be even worse

As for a "poo poo product" in a "poo poo location" you can make fun of the redbulls all you want but that's just a completely absurd statement. We have crap branding and marketing but to tell me that watching a winning/exciting team play in one of the nicest soccer specific stadiums in the country is poo poo then I want to know what poo poo means to you. As for the location it's easily accessible by rail for like 15 million people and a walk away from very nice restaurants and bars.

Hey guys, get this: those assholes who just want to bang drums and yell on megaphones for 90 minutes are a thing in the rest of the world too, we might have more fights and fewer video game tifos in Latin America but plastics and idiot supporter groups suck here too.

castrate all american soccer fans e - the glut of narratives regarding stupid loving facist/marxist/whig supporter groups outshadowing what happens on the field is enough evidence to me that this dumb league needs to oversell itself to a small (and embarrassing) contingency of people unloved by their parents. Instead of news of current playoff team Toronto dunking on Houston I get to hear about some pointless Minnesota fan group. it's ok though because people that fill the seats in century link help pay the bills for ben olsen's pay check. *in smug john oliver voice* cool Fucitol fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Apr 30, 2017 |

Your Boy Fancy posted:Nobody cares about an underground Marxist group except weirdos on the internet, who then complain about weirdos in real life this checks out. no way is there a weirdo incestuous relationship between a smattering of conceited fans and the league. what section in rfk do i buy tickets to boycott the league, again? will this week's tifo feature my favorite pokemon? if I'm feeling particularly spry what would the best way to gently caress with opposing players? could i meet them in the tunnel post game and run my mouth? I'll take your think piece of which star wars character best represents your favourite supporter group off air.

Kreis is a good coach and Orlando is a good team right now. I fully expect us to have at least one "poo poo the bed" month as is tradition, but hopefully we've gotten enough points that we'll be able to rebound and still be in the playoffs.

Red Bull Arena was pretty awesome last night, great crowd. Guess that's what happens when you have a Saturday night game with gorgeous weather. Hopefully we get lots more of that this year.

Looks like Kansas City is well on schedule for jumping out to the top of the conference in the spring, then inexplicably collapsing and backing into the playoffs in sixth place again. Consistency!

It's fun, and that's why I would go to a Reign or USL game. ...or you could go to Reign matches to support the team and the league, jackass. the Reign have won the NWSL shield twice in 5 seasons, made it to the final twice, and are well-respected in the league. But yeah, sure, keep saying they put out a lovely product. the only lovely thing about the Reign is that they're forced to play in a garbage stadium that's owned by the local school district, and despite that, their matches are still well-attended. the escape goat fucked around with this message at 23:23 on May 2, 2017 |

The Rowdies stadium vote in St. Petersburg passed by something like an 88/12 margin, so we can probably pencil them in for an MLS slot unless the owners decide that Bill Edwards is just too litigious to run a team in MLS.

Seltzer posted:You have a Houston Dynamo's worth of cash between you and the 2nd highest spending team, not that all shocking. Honestly, I attribute the current success not to Vanney but to Bez the GM and Bill Manning the President. Past TFC teams had all the money they could long for and they hosed it up on shithouse players on long contracts. Remember, we hold the league record for the most players suited up in one season for something retarded like 40. Yes, we overpay for our DPs, but what has really brought some kind of success is a front office willing to search for proper value and MLS veterans like Irwin, Moor, Beitashour, Morrow. The fact that the four guys I just listed off the top of my head are a keeper and three defenders probably isn't a coincidence.

I do And I agree about Zavaleta but he's good enough to be a bench CB or trade bait so I'm willing to hang onto him. I think Mavinga was supposed to replace one of him or Hagglund for a starting spot and he's complete loving trash who's been subbed off before half-time 2 out of 3 games now. And Seattle still couldn't score against him, a rookie and some random lol

Instead of complaining that other people are posting about their teams, why not post about yours? My team made an actual Deadline Day Signing to pick up a backup striker from the A-League (of all places), so maybe Montero can rest once in a while without leaving us stuck with Erik Hurtado of all people. Toronto chat: actually why isn't Giovinco playing? I thought you were resting him on Saturday but he didn't even make the bench last night either, and there's no news of an injury either. It's honestly kinda weird. Dallan Invictus fucked around with this message at 17:30 on May 11, 2017 |
