Yo FC Dallas goons, where's a good seat that's not near the sun or supporters groups?

Also what's the best way to the stadium from Denton that avoids the toll roads?

ATLUTD home opener was goddamn bonkers. Stadium was louder than last season, which I didn't think was possible. It's apparently becoming a thing to assume you're gonna get wet in the supporter's section--I'm not directly opposed to this, but it is worth noting.

Also the new Peach kit is amazing and it seems like Adidas reddid the cut so that it fits better.

The annual Campeones Cup will pit the reigning champions of Liga MX and MLS to crown the best club in North America. The 2018 Campeones Cup will be hosted by reigning MLS Cup champion Toronto FC, on September 19, 2018 at BMO Field in Toronto. Liga MX’s representative will be decided in mid-July in a Campeon de Campeones matchup between the Mexican League’s two tournament champions: Apertura (Tigres UANL) and Clausura (to be played in May 2018).

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'm meh on the Campeones Cup while the CCL exists in the way that it does (though Superliga had the same problem and people liked that, and this is shorter!), but an ASG that very slightly fewer people will bitch about is fine by me. It doesn't sound like it's necessarily an ongoing change though, with the whole "commitment to a future ASG" language.

The throwaway remarks about a partnership off the field about "shared best business practices" and "shared social responsibility across borders" sound like the real meat of the agreement, though combined with Liga MX "temporarily" suspending relegation last month I'm sure it will lead to some shiny hats being tightened.

The reason I liked SuperLiga was that is was, essentially, a Europa League equivalency that kept all the non-American and non-Mexican clubs out. It was a nice compliment to the CCL, and I miss it.

I think the best format for the All Star Game would be not having an All Star Game.

I like the idea of all star games and I think soccer lends itself well to them but I'd prefer it be East V West at the end of the season.

Today in DC United buffoonery, a ticket rep called Bobby Boswell to try to sell him tickets to the SoccerPlex on Saturday.

There is every chance we will break Chivas USA’s record for low attendance. We’re currently being outpaced for a preseason match in Richmond for the NWSL’s Washington Spirit.

Apparently ticket reps are promising “a big announcement” next week, and apparently it has to do with the supporter drama. I can only hope they’ve remixed the Vamos Pupusas video a la JG Wentworth ads.

We have a lovely soccer team and we neeeeed cash nowwwwwww

Some journo on Twitter was trying to convince me that DCU playing at the Plex is actually a good thing cause it's like "Field of Dreams" lol. I hope the weather is lovely and it draws a sub 1k crowd tbh.

Also why the gently caress aren't there any early season Friday night games? I wanna watch some drat soccer tonight!

Yea, they start again on the 30th. From looking through the first couple months of them, it seems like they almost all involve Canadian teams and will be broadcast nationally on TSN in Canada.
