refs who are afraid to card stars early.

It's my biggest problem with refereeing. The idea that a foul isn't a yellow or red in the first minute, but is one in the 70th. It drives me absolutely nuts.

So there's late-night scuttlebutt from Brian Strauss and others that 2-4 of the MLS teams that have full reserve teams in the USL might not bring them back for next year. Suspects floated about are Orlando, Philly, NYRB, and Seattle.

Apparently it's part the MLS organizations going "Hey it turns out we have to spend money on these guys and we don't like it" and part the USL going "Yeah so we want to be D2 so you guys with your hundreds of people who show up to games are actually bad for us now".

As long as they also have a D3, that would be fine.

Kill the MLS2 teams. Grow the sport either by affiliate program (DC-Richmond has been mutually beneficial) or by just loaning players.

If we�re giving all of USSF a rethink, let�s loving rethink it.

But I thought doing things the way they are done in Europe is how you become successful? Because that's how Spain and Germany do it. 'B' and '2' teams are the norm there and they seem to be doing well for themselves.

You can�t even strawman correctly you weapons grade dipshit, go back to being quiet now that your team spends all that money to be worse than mine

I hear spending money to field dogshit is a European tradition

Oh no. It seems I've struck a nerve.

My team may be poo poo, but at least I have the comfort of knowing that, for us, things will get better, and already have. For you, well, isn't this a good year for your standards? You're not guaranteed last place!

Reserve squads have a place, but that place isn't in the second level of a pyramid.

When we really only have 2 divisions, where are they supposed to play? USL hasn't made a D3 yet.

^^ Yeah but the D3 league isn't here yet, so they're still playing D2.

wicka posted:

In a loving reserve league you simpleton

Yeah, we did that. People complained that they weren't playing meaningful games. Now we do this. It's been pretty good for my team to vet recent academy graduates and give us a place to rehab 1st teamers.

I suppose so. It's not complete doom and gloom for the team, honestly, as their youth league players seem to be developing nicely. But still, this season was a punch in the mouth after 2016's.

It's the worst collapse in league history. Even our absolute poo poo season ain't so bad because of injuries and bad coach hires. Y'all have no excuse.

Your team won less games than Ben Olsen’s Shitheap with twice the payroll. You fielded the worst team in MLS 2017, somehow worse than DC, Minnesota and Colorado.

Yeah. That's right. And next year Lleget isn't going to be injured. Dude is worth at least 10 points on his own. And your team is still going to be poo poo and Benny will still be the coach.

NASL filed a new anti-trust suit against USSF yesterday, the claim is that MLS tried to acquire the Cosmos in order to shut down the club.

https://twitter.com/KristianRDyer/status/922691094869106688

This is dumb and entirely a PR move and Public Sympathy grab by Rocco. SUM/MLS were offering $5m for the Cosmos IP after the club was already defunct and shutdown. The non-compete clause is boiler-plate standard for IP acquisition in every industry. This is bullshit and no one in the courtroom will be swayed by this. This was done so more people would get on the MLS conspiracy bandwagon on Twitter and the internet.

McBean and Jose are going to be starting in the league next year. This is the dumbest loving move we could have done outside of signing Jermaine Jones again. Coincidentally, with this purge, if we do sign Jones next year, I'm cancelling season tickets.

I've been on the 'Jurgen to PDX' push. I can't tell you how many people are actually in support of this. I really hope it creates a groundswell of support and they actually hire him.

I don't know what to even say to this. I have no idea who the timbers will even try to bring in. Another MLS coach? Another college coach? USL or NASL? Jurgen or Arena? A euro coach? Alexi Lalas?

It's a two-fold desire to see a division rival see a downturn in form and to be able to see Jurgen apologists truly understand how poo poo of a coach he is.

I've seen people suggesting her for USSF President too. I know I'm loving around with the Jurgen stuff, but is she actually a coach? Has she done anything to even suggest she would be a good coach?

Ok folks that pay better attention to NASL. Are there any reasons that I would not want Giovanni Saravese as the new coach for the Timbers?

If you're a Portland fan, you don't. If you're a fan of any other team, you do want him as Portland coach.

Dude had the highest payroll and best team on paper for years and still lost to a team that ceased to exist as the final whistle of the Soccer Bowl blew.
