Long list for MLS Awards came out, and by long list I mean "every goal keeper is on the list".

*scans list*

Where the gently caress is Alex Roldan? :argh:

My guesses:

MVP - Gil
GK - Turner
Defender - Andrade (I'm allowed one homer pick)
Newcomer - Arango
Young Player - Pepi
Comeback - Blanco (watch it be Gil because Revs or Chicharito because name recognition)
Coach - Arena (Schmetzer would've had a strong argument if not for the last 3 weeks :smith:)
No clue on humanitarian/refs

Hey there - fellow virginian here. I also hate driving in DC.

Good news: you can drive to the closest metro stop to you without getting anywhere close to dc and ride the metro to audi field. its painless other than that it takes you more time than driving to get to the field.

with this method you have also unlocked the ability to attend washington football team nfl games if you choose because this is also the preferred method of getting to fed ex field :V

Gerhard Struber has somehow gone and got himself suspended from tonights Atlanta v NYRB game due to yellow card accumulation. I didn’t know this was a thing for managers and I don’t even recall him getting yellow carded.

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.

I really don't get the outrage on this, Sunday's game is meaningless to Chicago so they absolutely should play the kids/people they want to keep next year, people who will be looking for a new club are better off knowing that ASAP and not risking themselves, and yeah Columbus theoretically could make the playoffs with the right results on Sunday but it's really not a plausible enough outcome to worry about (needs NYRB to lose at Nashville, DC to not win at Toronto, AND a 7 goal swing between the NSH-RBNY and CLB-CHI results).

they've spent at least the last hour and a half on 98.5 talking about the Revs. I mean, part of that was the weekly interview with Bruce, but this might be the most air time I've ever heard them give MLS. Scott Zolak is all in on the new crest AND the cup baybee

Chicago informed some players that their options were declined. Twellman reported that says players wouldn't be traveling for their final match, which Miki was responding to in the deleted tweet. Now it's being reported that the only player who isn't traveling is Calvo, because he's traveling for WCQ.

The initial report made it sound like the players were basically in mutiny and kinda made the front office look bad.

At halftime in one of last night's games Twellman went off about how like seven Fire players (including 6 regular starters) who'd been told they wouldn't be back next year were refusing to play/didn't feel like playing vs. Columbus on Sunday.

Turns out 6 of them will be travelling with the team anyway (Calvo is joining his international team early) and presumably available for selection (though unlikely to be since Klopas should absolutely play the kids/evaluate talent for next year), so OP deleted their tweet since, I guess, Twellman had exaggerated the situation.

So what you're saying, and I am shocked by this, is that Taylor Twellman was being a moron

Dates for next season have been announced:

First day of the regular season is the 26th of February
Last day of the regular season is the 9th of October
MLS Cup is the 5th of November, just prior to the World Cup in Qatar


Nashville is moving back to the West, but the actually interesting news is that no team will play more than 5 midweek games.

Guessing the only reason the league didn't move Chicago is because 24 years beats 3.

Nashville is clearly more "West" than Chicago. You can tell because the city of Chicago is actually somewhat important.

Would’ve preferred Chicago in the West (so Austin can play them for the first time guaranteed), but otherwise it’s the most logical format given the stupid winter World Cup.

The only problem I have with the five-sub rule is that it has to be done in three windows, and that makes things complicated.

Is that really that complicated? You get 3 windows to make max 5 subs. I really don't think that is that complicated and if a HC or Ref can't keep track of that they need their head examined.

Glad it looks like they might make it permanent. I've always thought 3 subs is way too low especially when you basically always had to hold one in reserve in case of serious injury.
