Stephen Goff's annual sitdown with Bruce Arena was just published and it's as fun as ever. Some highlights:quote:What do you think of promotion and relegation here? quote:Did someone accuse you of cheating? quote:Can you name all the different mechanisms in MLS in which clubs can acquire players?

be nice wicka posted:are people required to have the stupidest loving reasons to oppose promotion/relegation? phil anschutz is a nightmare human being, no one cares about his millions. I don't believe it's a requirement wicka. However, I do believe MLS is still in love with and indebted to Phil Anshutz. He and the Kraft family will run this league until the day it dies.

Ladies and gentlemen, your week 1 standings: I don't want to get ahead of myself here, but the Galaxy look like the clear front runners for the title. And DC United, well, their results speak for themselves.

Anyone want to read a 60+ page academic article written by UCLA Law professor Steven Bank titled "Major League Soccer as a Case Study in Complexity Theory"? Today's your lucky day! He's also called Bruce Arena the "Donald Trump of TAM". This guy is awesome. Tigren fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Mar 14, 2016 |

I hope we get more teams playing in MLB stadiums. gently caress it, go KC Wiz/SJ Earthquakes style and play in minor league baseball or college soccer stadiums. Let them play!

effectual posted:Also maybe they're building for the future. Get more kids interested in soccer because there's a local team, then they'll become paying fans (or players) when they're older. Americans know that Barcelona and Man City and Munich all play way better soccer than MLS. It's crystal clear that MLS is many many levels below the quality of those teams. The basic, fundamental skill level of MLS players is so far below that it's obvious to even non-soccer fans. And the minimum salary for an MLS player is still $62,500. Can you imagine being a rookie on SJ Earthquakes or NYRB or any team that isn't in the loving rust belt? So glad I dedicated my whole life to to make a minimum living salary.

Ciprian Maricon posted:Liga MX already gets more viewers than the NHL though, Liga MX outdraws cable (non PPV) UFC events. MLS has no excuse for its awful viewer numbers except the terrible quality of the play on the field and lmao at the idea that getting a team in the festering Wastelands of Detroit would remedy that issue. And the fact that it's only 20 years old. People have established connections to other teams already. People don't watch Liga MX because of the high level of play, they watch because they already have an interest there. It's hard to steal people's interest away from other leagues if they've been watching those their whole lives. MLS had three Wednesday games this week. They were competing with MLB games and none of the MLS games were nationally broadcast. MLS currently broadcasts ZERO loving game on Saturdays, which is their big game day. There are seven games being played on Saturday. None are nationally televised. It's hard to generate interest when you don't show people what you're doing.

NBC has made it so easy to see every drat EPL game and as a soccer fan trying to get into MLS, not being able to sit down on my couch at match time and find anything on tv is incredibly frustrating. You're in luck! Tonight, you can tune in to the Galaxy game in Spanish. Or turn your Spanish into quite possibly the worst English language broadcast team around using your SAP button.

Fucitol posted:Pogatetz was cut not long after airing out some laundry about missing playing time. To be fair to Pogatetz, he was benched in favor of chumble gently caress defender Tyson Wahl. Who knows what amount of quaaludes went into the idea that Tyson Wahl is better than someone who has spent significant time as the Austrian team's captain. This is what makes guys like Sigi and Bruce so successful. They actually manage these man-children and make sure their egos don't explode all over the team.

Bruce Arena at his best: On if he feels that they stole a point: “Stolen? It was a good game and we played very well in the second half. That’s not stealing a game. Stealing a game is when you’re just crap for a game which we see often in our league and you win. We weren’t crap on the day.”

Probably out for a while I was about to make a snarky comment about losing MLS journeyman Patrick Nyarko, but it turns out DC is only his second team. I could have sworn he was chasing Chad Barrett for Player Cut By Most Teams in MLS. Anyone know what player has played for the most MLS teams? Chad has got 6. Dan Gargan got to 6 also.

TheNakedJimbo posted:Akindele played on the wing enough the past two seasons, and Rosales is also an experienced winger even though he's not as fast as he used to be. Between the two of them and Barrios, I bet they can hold down the fort until Pareja finds the next Fabi chilling in the Colombian second division. You know how Fabi kinda faded because other teams caught on to his act? That's because the rest of the team doesn't have enough dangerous pieces to pull attention. I predict the team will perform well, but will regress as a whole.
