Hi gang, big mls Eddie Lewis, Mike Grella, Robbie Rogers and I think one other guy maybe fan here to say I don't post in or read the MLS threads largely because I refuse to pay for the channels that show it and I'm asleep when its on. Just checking in to say that I'm the new mod and if anyone itt or any of the other MLS threads start being naughty let me know and I'll have a quiet word. I might not be in these threads regularly but you're all good lads and lasses and you should keep up the good work and post in other threads if you don't already, we're all one footballing family. ok bye

He scored a goal last Saturday (against Portland, natch) in the first match he played a full 90'. I'd expect for him to do more now that he's primed.

Pacific FC's head coach is onetime Timber and Whitecap Pa-Modou Kah. Who was an awesome player. I mean just an ok defender but hilarious antics. The man was silly. He is a hoot.

That sucks/rules to be beaten by a team coached by a player you had for a season and dropped for being error prone. I hope he wins the title his interviews will be stupendous.

For his first major act as new Houston Dynamo owner, Ted Segal spent a couple weeks gathering that the club is a bit of a dumpster fire and fired the GM.

https://www.houstondynamofc.com/news/houston-dynamo-fc-parts-ways-with-svp-gm-matt-jordan

quote:

The Houston Dynamo Football Club has parted ways with Senior Vice President and General Manager Matt Jordan, the Club announced today.


“After spending the last several weeks observing and evaluating a number of facets of our organization, I determined that it is in the best interest of the Club to go in a different direction with our soccer operations leadership,” said Houston Dynamo Football Club majority owner Ted Segal.

Good start.

Freddy Juarez officially joins Seattle as an assistant coach, and in order for that to happen Atlanta bought out his RSL contract in exchange for the ability to hire Pineda from Seattle.

I didn't realize the labyrinthian process of signing players in this league also extended to coaches.

Well, why pay to buy out a replacement assistant coach when you can get the people who made you need a replacement in the first place to pay for it?

NYRB transferred Amro Tarek to El Gouna FC back in Egypt on a free transfer with a 20% future sell on fee. This seems kind of strange considering our CB situation but ok I guess.

Away goals only works in a 2-legged series, which they've gotten rid of the last few years.

ESPN+ is a million times better than the random garbage twitter streams they do for a bunch of games.

Personally I'd prefer if everything was on espn+(both season and playoffs) but obviously wider audiences is good. Pleasantly surprised by all the broadcast coverage this year. It seems like Twitter stream will likely be the only English coverage of the first 2 playoff games though.

Hopefully the next media deal will unify on a streaming platform.
