For what it's worth I think Atlanta made the best signings of off-season easily. I expect them to make the play offs.

Anonymous player survey. Most overrated player - Mix Diskerud. Who crosses the line the most - Alonso #1 Felipe #2.

quote:

Felipe Martins. He just winds people up. He's an agitator. He does a lot of things that aren't punishable by referee standards, but if people found out they wouldn't be impressed.

This is awesome

The only bad part of being the redbulls the sickest team in the league is us constantly being on national tv which means I have to listen either alexi lalas or spanish commentary on half our games.

This is, unfortunately, par for the course with Adrian Heath's teams. His defensive signings with Orlando City were almost uniformly awful,

I'm still confused as why he traded Collin to us for a dishrag when he was a proven above average MLS center back.

Days like this I need to spread the gospel of not caring what people you don't know think of your domestic league or how you support your team, or how it markets itself on social media you don't use, and simply excising the word "cringeworthy" from your vocabulary.

It's remarkably liberating!

So apparently Howard got into trouble mainly because he grabbed a fan in the tunnel post game. Well ok that's a bit much, but it begs the question why the gently caress does SKC allow fans in the tunnel at all. TBH I'd give him 1 game for what he did and I'd kick all the rich assholes out of the tunnel.

I'm not joking, I'm really glad I support an original franchise. We may only get 80% attendance but our stadium is full of people who like soccer instead of the concept of soccer.

The idea of a Marxist supporters group in the mls is so loving stupid yet unfortunately not shocking

Uhh, ok. In fact I'm actually really glad we have 80% attendance because I can get a 20 dollar ticket basically on the pitch anytime I want. There are sounders fans paying like 80 bucks for lovely tickets or put on waiting lists lol.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying cheap tickets and empty stands. It's fun, and that's why I would go to a Reign or USL game. But low attendance and cheap tickets aren't because you "support an original franchise" or that you "like soccer instead of the concept of soccer", it's because your team is putting out a poo poo product in a poo poo location that people don't want to go to. They aren't keeping attendance down on purpose because they were founded earlier or have a fan purity test before they sell you tickets.

You also seem to be grossly misinformed about the cost and experience of attending a game at CenturyLink field.

My point was that being an original franchise most of our supporters came to watch soccer when it was extremely unpopular because they liked it. The newer franchises seem to attract a the type of fans that want to go to games to bang a drum for 90 minutes with their back to the pitch and get attention. As for a "poo poo product" in a "poo poo location" you can make fun of the redbulls all you want but that's just a completely absurd statement. We have crap branding and marketing but to tell me that watching a winning/exciting team play in one of the nicest soccer specific stadiums in the country is poo poo then I want to know what poo poo means to you. As for the location it's easily accessible by rail for like 15 million people and a walk away from very nice restaurants and bars.

Not surprising a PNW fan felt the need to get upset when someone poked at the soccer hispterism that plagues a lot of MLS.

Too slow! Also is there an August GDT or is the all star game being discussed here or in the July thread... I'm not ashamed to admit that I enjoy the all star game spectacle, though I do think it's hosed up that the golden boot winner of last year or actually just anybody from the Eastern conference champion winning team isn't on the team. Mccarty sort of counts but seriously the golden boot winner should be an autoinclude.
