It's been 20 years by now, I don't see the big deal with it. 9/11 has been used for much worse things over the last 20 years, especially far too much killing; a discount on some tickets is nothing.

With no Open Cup happening this year, the US' CCL allocation has changed slightly.

*MLS Cup Winner
*Supporter's Shield Winner
*Non-shield Conference Winner
*Team with the best MLS record that didn't get one of those 3 spots (replacing the USOC berth)

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.
yeah this seems like a terrible idea except as a way for Manning etc. to try and charm some of the dumber members of the TFC fanbase currently calling for his head with a whole "remember that guy you liked a few years ago, he's back!" spiel like Ronaldo to United except way worse

their FO is just dumb enough to do it but I refuse to believe it

The league pause obviously brings up other scheduling concerns but I do think that will help position this competition as important enough to care about and not just the newest version of midweek games for mls teams that don't have the depth to rotate.

It's entertaining until RSL decides to rotate a midweek game away at Mexico City.

They have enough games already. Rotated soccer lineups suck.

At this point, fire everyone and start from scratch.
Maybe buy out the entire roster as well.

its pretty funny that 7 of the 8 top spending teams (based on wages from earlier this season, a few like austin are probably out of date) in MLS are currently out of the playoffs, and the 8th is LA Galaxy, who are sinking like a rock after a good start. We're also now at fired coaches in 3 of those 8, and i'd guess Bradley isn't at LAFC next year at least.

quote:

wage bill in millions:
Inter Miami 17.80
Toronto FC 17.01
Galaxy 16.84
Atlanta United 16.18
FC Cincinnati 15.5
Los Angeles FC 14.93
Chicago Fire 13.63
Columbus Crew 13.5
Sporting KC 13.46
New York City FC 12.99
Montreal 12.64
Seattle Sounders FC 12.16

Nashville SC 11.51
New England Revolution 11.41
Orlando City SC 11.33

New York Red Bulls 10.17

Colorado Rapids 10.06

Gun to my head I would've sworn Chicago was in the bottom half of the league for salary, not #7 :wtc:

Seems like a good candidate for the 7th (and record-breaking iirc) mid-season firing.
