Baltimore needs to hurry up and get a USL team. As long as they don't play in loving Towson, at least.

Rumor has it :siren:

Sacramento is the favorite for MLS expansion by year's end. The other expansion favorite? Well, I hope you like the Miami drama that's been going on for years, because St. Louis will look to replicate it in America's unsexiest city.

I thought St Louis was dead because voters rejected a stadium plan last year?

Again, rumors, but MLS is considering a 'conditional' expansion bid that will essentially clog up the system for years until it actually happens.

Dallan Invictus: Oct 11, 2007; The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

You getting these from anywhere in particular? MLS sometimes does dumb things but going with St. Louis for 25/26 seems particularly dumb when there are better options for the first two AND there are guaranteed to be two more picks made later while they've had time to maybe get their poo poo together.

They were contractually obligated to allow for the Miami process to work out (plus, similar to NYCFC, the market itself is one they wanted enough to put up with all kinds of obstacles to the process rather than just walking away), STL isn't remotely that compelling.

Does 'unnamed source' counts as 'somewhere'? Because it's one of those off-the-record things.

NYCFC are moving their home game vs Houston on September 23rd to.... East Hartford, CT. According to Google Maps that's 107 miles away, and currently 2 1/2 hours by car.

What the loving gently caress. Red Bull Stadium is available on the 23rd, but I guess that would have been too easy.

Playoff schedule and TV details announced. Once again half of the knockout games are on Unimas only. Lame.

If the Sounders finish at either #1 or #2 they'll have a double-header with the Seahawks on the 5th of November.

And why the gently caress are the conference finals being played on a Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday?

My guess is so as to get more people watching on TV. Your average Joe is going to be watching the NFL on Sundays and college football on Saturdays.

If we had a traditional day like that, it'd be fine. Instead, ain't nobody know there's a Tuesday playoff game unless you're already a hardcore junkie. Can't grow the game that way.

Frankly, there's no easy solution. Saturday is the traditional MLS day, and there is 0 chance ESPN uses any of its linear channels on soccer on a November Saturday, and Fox Sports is only adding more college football. Sunday, you're going up against the number one sport in the nation on broadcast TV.

Because the league is so desperate to be on national TV that they'll take whatever time slot a network will give them.

I think Toronto might just have the best season in MLS history this year. Of course, they need to win the Cup in order for this to even be a question.

For those of you keeping track at home, United have taken 9 of 12 points from United and United, while United and United have a just a single win against United and United, respectively. However, both United and United still have one game left against United and United.
