Oh sure, they’re bad because of poor management, drafting and contract decisions, just like DCU. Just saying by putting them in that division, already being bad, and away from natural Acela corridor rivals puts them even further into irrelevance and disinterest

MLS is basically replicating the NBA’s Southeast Division, and DCU well on their way to becoming MLS’s version of the Wizards, which the less said about that franchise and the Southeast division in general the better

If I were a betting man (I’m not) I’d have strongly considered putting money on City pipping Arsenal to the title if this Haaland, Foden, Cherki triumvirate is going to be healthy

The problem with the Edison Flores signing was not about buying at peak (or post peak) but rather that Flores was simply not good at soccer. Back to that point about no trust in making the right subsequent moves, in this case selling Pirani as fast as possible and buying a talented playmaking 10

If there’s little question about the law, they’ll just change the facts so that the law doesn’t apply or applies differently to fit their political aims. To say nothing of them just blatantly ignoring our misinterpreting the law to achieve their politics

In a display of obviously good parenting, I showed my 10-yr old T2 last week and it’s now his favorite movie

Wouldn’t call that a great advertisement for the neutral, and not fun for Spirit fans to have to sit through that and come up empty

Not just “not happening in your stadium” - not happening in your city! I know it’s not super far but still, like what would some Marylanders say if they decided to host the game in Richmond?

I mean I understand the rationale, but if you want a larger crowd, there’s a (granted crappy) NFL stadium that’s much closer to the base of most of DCU’s supporters and ticket holders. I live like 6-7 miles from Audi and Baltimore is practically just as far a drive as Richmond

On the Spirit and DC Power - I’m a DCU STM and regular attendee of Spirit matches, I’m just not going to suddenly become a Power supporter if the idea is they’re competitors, which clearly they are. What is the end play for these alternative top division US soccer leagues, has to be pro/rel right?

Meanwhile, NWSL better get their shit together to give Trin the money she deserves. Can’t keep claiming you’re the best league in the world while bleeding stars to other leagues
