Great!

In all seriousness. That MLS Championship is pretty sweet. My son has a Sporting KC scarf that we took turns wearing during the epic win.

It’s almost like, ‘In what way is he not a problem?’ From being late, disruptive, abusive, uncoachable, the list goes on. You can only take it for so long. You either lose the whole team or you lose him.

[Johnson] is 29 years old now. This isn’t a kid who you’re hoping can figure it out. You are who you are.

Kinda glad we didn't go after him.

Players I'd be interested in drafting during this afternoon's Re-Entry Draft:

LM Joel Lindpere - last 2 true left wingers we've had were Convey (trash) and Ryan Smith (bust). Lindpere was a complete stud for NY in 2012 and before. Was ineffective for Chicago last season, but maybe PV could get something out of him.

RB/RM Brandon Barklage - our fullback depth right now is Jerome, Bessone, Gardner, and Ellis. Might be nice to have one more especially since Gardner sucks and Ellis is still developing. Not sure if he can play on the left side. That would be helpful.

ST Fabian Espindola - only if one of our striker leaves (like Dom or possibly Bieler)

CB Brandon McDonald - would be especially useful if Collin ends up leaving. Could be great depth behind Opara/Besler. Would be nice to have 4 true CBs even if Collin and Opara both stay. Olum is our emergency CB backup. After that, I guess Uri?

We're probably going to pass when it gets to us since we have the last pick in each round (19/19). Lots of players will get drafted though. I hope someone takes DeRo and Ferreira. I think they will.

Sporting will start transitioning to Oklahoma City, perhaps co-affiliating next year and sending players to both USL clubs before aligning permanently with the Energy in 2015.

Here's the part about Jimmy:

Oklahoma City isn’t as far along, but it appears the Energy won’t be going it alone. The club is talking with recently retired Sporting KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen about becoming its first coach, which would establish strong ties with the new MLS champion.

I think the problem with the SS in the final was that it wasn't really the south stand. Tickets were so hard to come by people just took what they could get. I know a few people that do a lot of work for the SS and most of them were in the Cauldron for the final, and some were in the east stand.

Also, as many predicted, we will be affiliates with both OKC and Orlando City until Orlando joins MLS in 2015. Then our sole affiliate will be OKC. Pretty great imo. Might buy an OKC Energy shirt and make a road trip for a game depending on the players we send. Could be fun. :dunno:

Quote from: Zlatan Ibrahimovic
In America maybe nobody knows who I am there, so maybe I should come over and play some seasons there. It could be interesting to go over to America… but today it’s not. If I’m 35 and I can bring any results in MLS, maybe I can bring something.

Almost bought myself an OKC shirt, but the one I like didn't have my size. I kinda like the colors and logo. Basically the Sounders. I definitely well eventually. Will consider getting a scarf too.

Also, my MLS Cup scarf came in the mail. :gocho:

Sounding like the Bradley deal is done. Just waiting on Toronto FC to make the announcement.

I would like someone to convince me that this is a bad thing. Because he wasn't getting minutes in Rome. He will get a consistent 90 minutes every game in Toronto. He has two DP striker studs he'll be able to feed goals to (Gilberto & Defoe).

I think it's absurd to think this will hinder his development as a player. He's the best player on USMNT. This won't change that. You gotta think he'll be heading to Europe frequently on loans similar to Dempsey. Toronto will compete for the playoffs, won't be a laughing stock, and he will get games, games, and more games in a World Cup year. That's the bottom line.

It's well-known he wanted out at Roma. Would you rather see him move to the other rumored destinations? Sunderland? Fulham? Where he'd get relegated? There were also rumors of a couple lower-level Serie A clubs, so maybe that would be ideal.

I wish he wasn't going to a Canadian club but it is def a good thing. He will get all the minutes he can want at TFC. The MLS is an improving league and the is showing as a league we are not just a beginning or ending stop for top talent. Bradley will be able to parlay the first half of the MLS into a good World Cup into becoming one I the modern faces of American Soccer and the MLS amongst even the most casual fans.

Just started watching the first NYCFC presser.

They've said they'll sign 3 DPs. Also, Kreis will spend 4 months in Manchester in the City locker room learning from Pellegrini. Studs.

Anyone have any predictions on DPs? The popular prediction has been James Milner.

EDIT: Maybe younger City players like Guidetti (if he doesn't get sold this window)? Maybe even Jovetic? Rodwell? Barry (not young obvi)? :dunno:

Maybe Marcos Lopes (stud 18 year old) or Luca Scapuzzi (22 year old striker)? I probably need to think outside of only Man City players.

2. Who will be KC's No. 1 goalkeeper? yes
3. Will Kansas City make a big move to strengthen the midfield? yes
4. How will Vermes treat this year's SuperDraft? Or could that pick be used as a piece of a trade? no
5. Will Robb Heinemann and Vermes stand pat while the rest of the league is spreading some serious cash around? no

I'm confused about his answer on 2. I think he means Kronberg has the edge currently and Kempin will be loaned to OKC.

Yeah, but it's our league ya know? Just because we don't have Ronaldo's and Messi's doesn't mean it's not a good product or fun to watch. Atmosphere at SKC games is amazing. I'm sad for you that you think it's small-timey. At least they're not perennial losers like the Chiefs and Royals. (I'm a Chiefs and Royals fan.)

I mean, why do we watch KSU sports? It's not like they're top pro teams, but it's still great to watch and very fun.

also keep in mind that it's WAAAAAY easier as a youngster like sunny_cat to have a local team to follow AND be able to keep up with international soccer than it was when our old balls were little tykes (which is fantastic).  we were limited to basically the world cup and like maybe one random champions league game a week on a random tuesday/wednesday afternoon on FSKC until we were about college-aged.  not a lot of outlets to consume it during formative years besides actually playing

J-Dub, I'm not a die-hard soccer fan, so maybe I can relate a little better.  Reasons I like Sporting/soccer below

1) Lower level soccer translates well.  I don't think soccer is a sport where you have to watch the best.  Basketball can be terrible at lower levels because it relies heavily on athleticism.  Athleticism definitely helps in soccer, but its more a technique game.  You'll get more "wow" moments watching Messi, and certainly more wins, but even with lesser players in the MLS it is still a fun product.  For a casual fan, you won't notice most of the minor mistakes made.

2) Go to Sporting Park/Cauldron.  Its like a big student section and everyone is so united.  First Cauldron game I went to a guy stole a bunch of beers from the VIP section and instead of drinking them with his buds all game, he handed them out to the section.  Great community feel.  The stands are full of guys that want to make the game the funnest place ever because they want MLS to succeed.  No drunk bad person fans or tucks, just everyone wanting to party.

3) Drinking outside is a great time in the summer.  I prefer soccer to baseball because its a 2 hour commitment instead of a 3-4 one, but still.

soccer is just so sloooowwwww... i've tried watching it, but when you only have like 0-3 goals (total) in a game and only like 5 shots even taken at the goal (total), it's like... why am i watching these guys kick a ball around this huge field for 90 minutes?  grade school soccer seems more entertaining than professional.

just one hayseed's opinion  :Carl:

btw, soccer is rough ridin' excellent when you shrink the goals and field way down and then put ice over the field and instead of your feet you use sticks to pass around a compressed ball.

seven, felt that way for many years. after going to a english national team game in london, and then even the SKC environment it really changed my mind. comparing it to football event wise is pretty unfair, but, one of the great things i love with soccer compared to football is the "lull" periods. yeah, you can say that a 0-0 match is filled with these moments. but for two 45 min halves, you are pretty much glued to the action. football, for me at least, is easy to have a roller coaster of attention - ie, maybe a 30 yd return, then 20 yd pass, then 20 yd run... stadium is PUMPED, annnd just like that it can be lost - a tv or team timeout, or a review, or a flag. and the member chants are fun (but so are the football ones like GO GO GO or bullshit, etc.)

its also nice to know that if a game starts at 1:00, it will be over in just about 2 hrs 90% of the time (not exact, but you get the idea). makes planning afternoon chores a lot easier.

and mini-ice soccer is fun to watch too.

It's also impossible to make predictions like that. I (and lots of others) thought DC was going to be pretty good last season. Ended up being one of the worst teams in league history. Of course, injuries didn't help them.

Philadelphia Union traded up for the number 1 allocation order spot. Sounds like they want him. (The league will not be involved with the transfer like they were for Bradley and Dempsey. Therefore it will go through the allocation order similarly to when Feilhaber signed for MLS and was allocated to NE.)

I agree.  in the short term, it may help some of our present players improve marginally.  But, the goal long term is to be a world soccer power.  And, seems to me that we're only gonna start churning out serious talent when we've developed the sport domestically.  for the long term, we need the MLS to improve and having buys like Bradley and Dempsey here improves the League. 

In the next 20 years, we're not ever competing with the world powers anyway, so wgaf if guys like Bradley and Zussi play for Roma and get marginally better.

Quote
Jurgen Klinsmann is confident the return of top American players to Major League Soccer will give a boost to the U.S. national team.

As the U.S. began a 12-day training camp with MLS players in Sao Paulo, where it will be based during the World Cup in June, Klinsmann said the recent returns of Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley to the league are ''exciting'' and ''huge for football in the United States.''

Dempsey joined Seattle in the summer and Bradley signed with Toronto FC this week.

Although Klinsmann indicated in the past he would rather see top American players testing themselves in top leagues overseas, he said Tuesday a stronger MLS benefits the national team.

''We said a couple of years ago that we wanted to be one day in the top 10, top 15 in the world,'' said Klinsmann, a German who moved to California in 1998. ''We have to develop better players, we have to develop better coaches, and it's not going to happen overnight, but we will keep working and the MLS is helping us a lot.''

He said MLS is sending a ''serious signal'' that it wants the best American players back in the United States so it can build a stronger league.

''We are not there yet, and we know that,'' Klinsmann said. ''But it's exciting. The players who are in Europe, many of them some big players, are now back in MLS.

''MLS is getting better every year,'' he added. ''We are working at full pace, hopefully we can prove a lot of good work already this summer.''

Klinsmann said it has been crucial for the league to attract strong owners with the financial means to recruit top Americans from Europe.

''People jump in financially, want the best American players in America,'' Klinsmann said. ''Suddenly they bring back a Clint Dempsey from Tottenham, they bring back a Michael Bradley from AS Roma, and they are working on other players as well. This is huge for football in the United States.''

Klinsmann is using mostly U.S.-based players in the camp in Sao Paulo, including 10 who helped the Americans qualify for their seventh straight World Cup.

''We can bring more players because the European-based players are not coming in, obviously,'' Klinsmann said. ''So it gives more spots to young players who want to show how good they are. Maybe they can still jump on the train for the World Cup. They all have a point to prove. They all want to prove to me that they deserve to be back during the World Cup.''

He said he wants to give the players an early chance to get to know Brazil ahead of the soccer's biggest tournament.

''This is a wonderful opportunity for us,'' Klinsmann said after the team's first practice session at the training center of Sao Paulo Futebol Clube.

''It gives us the opportunity to be already at the facility we are going to stay in the World Cup, to get to know the hotel we are going to stay at and to get a feeling for the country,'' Klinsmann said.

He even wants his staff to start learning Portuguese in order to know some basic words by the time the team returns.

The Americans will stay in Brazil until Jan. 25 before heading home for an exhibition against South Korea on Feb. 1 at Carson, Calif., where they began their 11th annual January training camp last week.

The U.S. opens the World Cup against Ghana on June 16, plays Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal six days later and closes the group stage against Germany on June 26.

probably outdated info, but a quick search makes it sound like their first plan got mushed a while back on a park site in flushing meadows.  plans leaked a few months back that they're looking to basically tear down/relocate a factory property by Yankee Stadium and help said factory relocate elsewhere.  sounds relatively complicated, and doesn't sound like de blasio has come out in support of it yet

Here's what MLSsoccer.com has for us in their mock draft:

Quote
Pete Caringi (F) - UMBC

He's a goalscorer with an edge and solid work rate. Makes good runs in behind and he's also good with his head. Can Peter Vermes transform him into the next Dom Dwyer?

Quote
Victor Munoz (M) - UCLA

A product of the Real Madrid youth system, I kind of want Vermes to pick Munoz as a way of trolling La Masia-produced Uri Rosell. I just feel like this would make the locker room more fun for the entire Sporting team.


:gocho:

Quote
Enrique Cardenas (M/F) - UC Irvine

Cardenas will likely have to be a roleplayer for his first few years in MLS – he’s too small to just be handed the reins of the offense – but he’s ultra skilled, quick, and good on the dribble. He’s the kind of guy who could do very well in SKC’s high-press, high-tempo style.

(These are the three players they have us as maybe taking at #38.)

Depends on how they do salary cap or lack there of. But all in all won't be good. Basically gives no leverage to small market and non desireable locations.

I'm not going to keep posting about the draft, but this really confused me. Philly just took the stud Jamaican GK (Andre Blake) with the top overall pick. They already have Zach Macmath, one of the best young keepers in the league. I'd imagine they'll be trading one of those two. Possibly today.

Fwiw, I'd rather have MacMath than Kronberg or Gruenebaum, but that's just because I like youth a lot. Also, Vancouver needs a keeper as far as I know. All the mock drafts had them taking Blake 3rd overall. Maybe they will trade one of them to Vancouver.

He may not make the roster. They've been saying this is not a deep draft at all. And players taken this late are rarely good anyway. If he makes the roster, he probably won't make an appearance this season. Maybe one or two.

Seems like there's generally 6-8 rookies that make significant contributions.

I didn't hear this, but Dave Borchardt just said on the Sporting KC Show (one 810 right now) that PV came out and said Collin will for sure be back this season.

(http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p354/JoleneSjodin/tunnuskuva/emoticon-0141-whew.gif)

Chance Myers still hasn't re-signed. He's rumored to have been flirting with Championship teams in England, but he'll probably be back.

EDIT: Peter doesn't seem super confident that we'll re-sign him. That's just my opinion though. Makes it sound like 50-50.

Borchardt asked him about Espinoza. He's not shooting it down but doesn't act like it's on the horizon. I really think we should go after him honestly. He needs games in this World Cup year, and we need midfield depth. We have Uri, Olum, Naga, Benny, and Joseph (Zusi doesn't count anymore). 5 players for 3 spots. Not enough especially when we have so many competitions and Nagamura has injury issues.

He hinted at getting depth in the midfield. They're (Andy Edwards) saying it's a name from Europe that we will know. :surprised:

Probably, but I can see him going to NYCFC or RBNY too. The Galaxy would be dumbasses to let Keane or Donovan go, especially in the next 2-3 years. Omar signed his DP contract, and may be the most important player on that roster. Maybe they add a fourth DP slot. Otherwise, doesn't seem like Lampard would fit. He's already 35. Would be stupid imo to take him when he's 37/38. Who knows though? Maybe he's still going strong then.

Definitely truth to this, but we were close to getting MB. I don't think it's going to be impossible for very much longer to get a "star." Will we ever get a Cristiano Ronaldo or Ibrahimovic? No. Never. But we could get a player like Bradley or Jermaine Jones. It's possible at least imo.

Whether you were joking or not, it's pretty much fact that we can't ever get a player like Ronaldo imo. They will always go to NY/LA. The slightly lesser stars will go to Toronto/Seattle/etc. And yeah, we could get some American that realizes how stud our stadium/fans/ownership group are.

Vermes on CM (cont'd): "Players, based on their performances want to continue to make more money, and I understand that, but when you're in a salary cap [league], there's only so much that can go around. I think we've made a fair offer, I really do, now it's a matter of whether they want to accept it and stay here. We've seen players come and go. There's been a lot of players that have moved on, some very good ones obviously. As players move out, there's other players we've been working with to get ready for their opportunity.

Chance? Yeah, I guess so. Here's my thoughts on him. He's one of the most important players on the team in terms of how we play. Successful attacking fullbacks are a major part of Vermes' system. Also, as mentioned on WHB, there are two positions on USMNT that don't have solidified starters: LB and RB. I honestly think Chance has an outside of making the roster if he turns some heads in this January camp. Not many natural right backs to choose from. Staying in KC for at least another season to get a guaranteed 90 minutes every game is only going to help his WC chances.

Unrelated, but Seth also has a legitimate outside shot at Brazil imo.

Fits our system perfectly though. And we're not going to bring in a replacement. It will be either Myers or Jerome at RB. Ellis and Gardner as depth.

if its not going to be STL then I want Minneapolis. wouldn't mind San Antonio. Miami and Atlanta along with NYC2 were always 3 of the cities I absolutely did not want, but all 3 are going to get franchises.

Only reason I'm against San Antonio is I don't see any reason to have 3 Texas teams. Especially when Dallas doesn't draw attendance numbers and Houston can't fill their new stadium consistently. Apparently San Antonio has a team already (Scorpions maybe?) that draws 8000 people a game.

EDIT: Looked it up. It is the Scorpions. They're an NASL team (second tier).

If we ever have another kit/uniform debate, I'm going to quit gE.

And I mean, the SKC logo isn't world class, but it's slick and it looks good imo. Not many better in MLS.

I intentionally didn't use the word kit when describing that San Jose thing, thats a rough ridin' jersey, I mean holy hell that looks like an ugly high school top.

I like our crest a lot, the state line thing is really clever. Previous to that crap sunny just posted, I thought the worst crest I have ever seen is Stoke City, so damn lazy and dumb.

so i'm going to say this in the nicest way possible... most people aren't soccer dorks so it pretty much behooves a soccer organization to put a soccer ball in their logo so that when a normal person sees the logo they aren't like "oh, is that the new arena football team?"  "no, i think it's the womens lingerie softball team that just started" "no, i saw on the news that it's an nba d league or something, or maybe wnba, i dunno".

Benji Joya close to signing with MLS. Would enter through the lottery. Very fun to watch when he played in the U20 World Cup with USA. Would be a great addition to any team.

FWIW, the lottery is how SKC acquired Soony Saad. I think your odds of winning the player correspond to the allocation order which we're currently in last or 18th or something. I could be wrong though.

I'm listening to ExtraTime Radio on mlssoccer.com (http://mlssoccer.com) during my Snow Day. Simon Borg just said he thinks Kansas City is a destination for Joya that makes sense because we're looking for midfielders. Our only "attacking" midfielders are Feilhaber, Peterson Joseph (whose health status is unknown), and Zusi (who plays much more often on the wing). He could be some nice depth with promise for the future.

Like I said though, depending on how many teams show interest in entering the lottery (I've heard only a few), we probably wouldn't have a good chance at "winning" him.

Because you want the big market teams to get big market stars that is good for the league. The
League doesn't benefit anymore from Drogba and Demps going to Seattle than those guys going to any team that is a relative contender

Miami Fusion FC is the name of the MLS Club that was founded in 1997 and dissolved in 2001. I really like the name. There isn't a mascot really. And I'm fine with it. "Chicago Fire" and "San Jose Earthquakes" are two of the best names in MLS.

They give attacking and defending bonuses. Goals score. Assists score. Shutout bonuses for defenders, midfielders, and keepers. You get a point for playing. Two points for playing 60 + minutes.

Zusi and Collin were two of the best fantasy players all season.

Tobias, would you rather have a head-to-head league or a classic league (just adding up total scores each week). If we have enough people, I want head-to-head.

Here's the link to create your teams. I'll just hold off on creating the league for awhile till we get more people.

EDIT: Also, there's unlimited transfers until March 8, so when you set your team, you can still swap out players. Once the season starts you're only allowed 2-3 transfers per week (unless you use your wildcard) without penalty (negative 4 points per transfer).

so can we have the same players as other people in the league? is it just a free for all with the budget amount of players?

Yes. You're given $120m to spend on 2 goalkeepers, five defenders, five midfielders, and four forwards.

Not saying they will be getting big time players on loan, I'm just saying the way they're aligning themselves and the way it looks like they are going to brand themselves they are isolating themselves from non-city fans that have an EPL team.

Agreed, but at least Arsenal is extremely popular here. Probably the second most popular EPL club in the US behind United. They really should have their own identities though, and I think fear that they won't is warranted.

Zusi is a great fantasy player, but I didn't spend big money on any one player yet. Him, Collin, Wallace, and Valeri drove my team to victory all last season. Now, they're too expensive. Wallace was great last season because he was a defender on fantasy and actually played left winger and scored lots of goals and had lots of assists.

Should be fun. It's a great way to learn players too. Around here, you only really hear about SKC, but you can learn about the whole league through fantasy.

And yeah, I don't really know all the MLS players that well. It's not a league I watch with great regularity. It took me a fair bit to fill out my team. A lot of googling. Should be fun.

This is really helpful. I know it's kind of nerdy, but it helped me make a few very tough decisions. Filtering by percent selected is what I do a lot.

there are so many (84) adults at this party! it's hard to believe i will start high school next fall

do you guys want to know anything about all of these recruitz? a few of them are friends with my big sister so its nbd

you have to think with 142 adults running around, one of them would be cool enough to buy me some smirnoff or something  :crossfingers:

just so lucky that today happened to be a snow day. following recruiting is WAY WAY WAY better than taking a geography test!

it's dad's basement too, guys. he keeps the old '77 yearbook, model trains, and some hunting rifles down there

According to the report, Kroenke has been given permission to name the team the "L.A. Gunners," serving as a sister team to the London-based Arsenal, of which Kroenke owns a share.

Do not want. Will take basically anything else as a Chivas USA rebrand.

I would burn it down if there were 3 teams in LA. I'm okay with it if they buy from Chivas, and could also deal with it if Chivas got relocated out of Cali and rebranded and LA Gunners was an expansion side.

Apparently MLS has a policy that owners can't own more than one team. Kroenke owns Colorado already. That makes this seem unlikely. Maybe they bypass that rule though. MLS has a history of making rules as they go. If Chivas is dissolved or rebranded, I'm okay with it. Really not a fan of the name though.

Yeah, I was worried about that at first too. Didn't remember from last year. Last year, I used my wildcard (you get two or three throughout the season that give you unlimited transfers) immediately after week one because my team for opening day was so shitty.

IF it would work the stadium would have to be in Lexington or the Brookline/Newton area, possibly the western suburbs called metro west. But I've gotta tell you guys, I lived in the KC area during the early years of the Wiz, I lived in Dallas during the Burn era, and lived in Boston during the years when they went to back-to-back-to-back MLS Cups and not only did Boston have the least amount of buzz for the team but the Revs were only mentioned by the local sports media when they were being mocked. The saving grace is they have really good tv and radio deals, much better than SKC although I have no idea what their ratings look like.

TV is huge. Also, I find it shocking that they can't get fans even when they're good. They're a striker away from being a consistent playoff team. They're talented and very very young. So they should only get better. They will probably take a small step back this season because they lost Agudelo. Only strikers are Charlie Davies (he's dogshit), Patrick Mullins (rookie), Jerry Bengston (barely played last season), and Dimitry Imbongo (didn't score too many goals last season and led the league in red cards. Saer Sene is good, but they play him out wide. Same with Diego Fagundez.

#SportingKC starting XI vs @IndyEleven: Kronberg; Myers, Collin, Besler, Sinovic; Nagamura, Rosell, Feilhaber; Zusi, Bieler, Sapong. #MLS

This will be the starting XI game 1 v. Seattle. I'd bet a lot of money.

Also, this game v. Indy isn't streamed.

Seriously. Bieler is the mother rough ridin' DP. He was the leading scorer last season with ten goals. KEI was our second leading scorer. Kei. Next was Zusi. Dom had 3 rough ridin' goals. 3. He's very good, but he'll always be the second option to Claudio. I think whatever tension there was between PV and Bieler is in the past. He will score 15 or more goals this season. Feel free to bookmark this post.

I'm very interested to see what happens with Teal. Honestly, I'll take an in-form Teal over an in-form Dom. Last season, the problem was Teal wasn't in-form ever because of the injury and lack of playing time.

haven't looked at last year's salaries, but seems like that'd be a decent chunk of change in addition to michael bradley, gilberto (dp), defoe (dp), laba (dp), derosario, etc

I think it goes something like this. For every DP, you lose 350k of salary cap to pay the rest of the team. So that's roughly a million bucks. I think the salary cap is 3 million or something, so that leaves 2 million to pay the rest of the team. Also, Laba and Rey will not be DPs this season.  Only Gilberto, Defoe, and Bradley. Doubt DeRo makes too much money. He's 35 and slowing down a lot.

I will be very interested to see TFC's salaries when they're released by the player's association thingy.

Meh, good for them I guess?

Seems like a small step towards MLS. At the very least, they could be a new USL Pro affiliate of SKC. OKC + STL. Would be cool.

I don't want them to be an affiliate, I want them to get to the MLS so we can beat them and I can yell "eff SAINT LOUIS!"

This is the next best thing though. They're probably not getting MLS.

Nope, don't allow them to be an affiliate, rig the draw to play them in the USOC every year and smash them.

A lot of buzz on the twitters that Chivas USA will be rebranded as LASC. No idea if there is new ownership stepping up(most important imo) or their own stadium separate from Galaxy(second most important), but this is a good step, but imho I don't think this franchise will ever have much hold in the LA metro, personally.

I guess i was taking "light blue" as royal blue, because no way would we have two "sporting blue" shirts.

Robb coming on at 5 with BITB on 810:

Robb calls BITB Keith

Robb loves taking the Cup all over the city and surrounding the city, wishes off season was longer but ready to go!

Organization wins championships, trophies are for the fans.

Team really are friends off the field, part of the reason we won the cup.

Sporting KC Takeoff The new jersey will be a fashion piece, celebration of the gold star, his favorite kit.

Playing RBNY in Orlando tomorrow, young guys will get a lot of PT in this game.

Juve really wants EPB we don't want to sell him right now.

Kempin will be going down to OKC to get action this year, EPB will get first team action with SKC.

Takes shots at clubs that buy big name guys instead of growing young local talent and young American talent.

Expansion talk doesn't think Miami is a done deal because he isn't sold a stadium will actually get built

Wants KC to always be the shining jewel of the MLS.

Book Value of the club has increased over 15 times since his ownership group took over.

Royals Talk:
Robb and Sporting Club would not go to the Glass family with an offer to buy, if the Glass family comes to ownership group they will listen.

Thoughts on Glass saying he is willing to sell the team: Sporting Club will always be there to listen, but not staying up at night hoping the call comes.

Robb not touching any speculative questions but says owners should be local.

BITB pushing for a 3rd party to put Sporting Club and the Glass family together for a dinner to make this happen.

Very cool that EPB is good enough for first team action. He's still our 4th string CB, but still. Not his fault we have the two best center backs in the league plus the best young CB imo (Ike). Glad Kempin is going to OKC. That's what everyone expected. Interesting that he doesn't think Miami is a done deal...

Post by: sunny_cat on February 19, 2014, 11:45:23 AM
It came out that apparently Teal is set to make 220k this season. Way way too much to be our third best center forward. To get a first round pick plus allocation plus unloaded all that cap space is a fantastic move. I love Teal a lot. More than most. But now we will be able to get the central midfielder we need.

Oh, and NE is a playoff contender again now. They were going to be hurting because they lost Juan Agudelo, but this is a great replacement. Plus all their young studs (Rowe, Fagundez, Farrell, and Caldwell) will be a year older and they have the reigning defender of the year (Goncalves). Plus they got two of the best players out of college (Mullins and Neumann). I really like New England.

Asked some SKC bloggers a couple questions on twitter. They think we will get a central midfielder from outside of MLS, not within. Also said that our transfer window is still open, so we won't have to wait until summer (necessarily). :excited:

I think we need a box-to-box midfielder to "replace" Nagamura. Don't have anybody in mind at the moment.

EDIT:

On pending roster movement...
There's a good possibility that there's going to be a few more players that will join the team. We're still working on those. The roster is like a living, breathing entity. It never is fixed. It's never done. You're constantly looking to improve and things change within the group. I always say, players don't stay the same. You're either getting better or you're getting left behind. What I am very pleased with and what I have found out in the preseason thus far is a lot of our young guys have made a big step forward this year. I'm very happy with the progression of a few guys and what they're starting to add to the team. I can see them getting minutes in some of the competitions that we are going to play in this year and hopefully they're going to be able to contribute in a very meaningful way.

There are too many teams. It's a shame markets like DC and Boston have teams already when there are cities without teams that will probably never get a team because it will never become bad enough to move the clubs out of DC or Boston.

I really do think that eventually we're going to hit 30 teams. I think it's stupid, but we'll probably have to live with it. That's quite a ways into the future though.

Honestly in my perfect world they would start over with 14 teams and go from there starting with:

KC
Portland
Seattle
Salt Lake
LA Galaxy
NYCFC without RBNY
Toronto
Vancouver
Houston
San Jose
Colorado 
Montreal
Columbus
Philadelphia

new ownership could come in to the other current cities but I think these 14 are the ones I would use to restart the league.

the opening year isn't the gauge, sunny. I think after 5-7 years after the new smell has worn off it will become a very mediocre club with minimal support.

No, but I think person for person KC is one of if not the best sports towns in the country and will support subpar teams 20x what Orlando would, and the same goes for all the cities I mentioned. Orlando will flop harder than any of the expansion cities and almost all of the current MLS cities if the team sucks and that includes Miami.

With the 14 sw named, to get up to 24, you'd have to find 10 cities better than Orlando which has already been a proven (admittedly short term) success. I could probably name more than ten cities that want MLS, but that doesn't mean they'll be better situations.

This has been on my list of possible away games. Also considering it. I think Chicago is going to be most likely. The Sunday after finals week.

There isn't a deadline. You can join leagues whenever you want pretty sure. It just starts your scoring later. If you want to be in it from round 1, you'd need to join by like an hour before the first match of the season (SKC-Seattle).

Should be San Antonio over Austin. It is a shame Texas will have 3 teams, the Southeast will have 3 teams, and LA(metro) and NYC(metro) both have 2 teams.

Yes, we're still good. Same exact team minus Jimmy Nielsen. Home opener is FC Dallas. They weren't that good last season but have a new coach and some new players. I expect them to be much better, but we'll win.

I think they are doing a pretty heavy dosage of marketing in the 5 boroughs. I am actually starting to think they may be able to pull this off.

I have very little optimism. I've seen too many teams go down to Mexico and lose by 3 and 4 goals. But hell, it could happen. We're really good, and our great defense is going to be key.

Parking the bus won't keep a clean sheet in Mexico no matter what, but you're right. We could grab a set piece goal from Collin or something. If we keep a clean sheet at home and score on the road, we may have a chance.

Best case scenario imo: 2-0 win at home, 3-1 loss on the road. That'd put us through.

the only this helps me is if they now consider SKC my local club so I can watch on MLS Direct Kick on Directv because I can't even get Mediacom if I wanted it, which I don't.

Pretty good TV deal tho if you ask me.

I love the reach, I just wish they got a FS Midwest deal.

I'm assuming you and s_c are sitting in the cauldron on Wednesday, what time do you guys plan on arriving? This is my first Cauldron experience, I assume that I pick up my ticket in the members club?

Yeah, we'll both be in the Cauldron. I get out of class at 2:20. I plan on leaving right after, but my car is in the shop, so we'll see what happens. I'll probably get there around 5 or 5:30. Where did you order your ticket?

I'd think JP could be out soon. We just got Zizzo who has been doing well and the coaches are high on. Now Toni. Add in CJ, Zusi, and Soony, we don't need Jacob Peterson anymore, even with all the competitions.

I won't feel comfortable going down to Mexico unless we win 4-0.

I agree but 2-0 I think we could park the bus and maybe grab one on the counter or a set piece. All hope will be gone if draw, or give up an away goal on Wed.

I have very little optimism. I've seen too many teams go down to Mexico and lose by 3 and 4 goals. But hell, it could happen. We're really good, and our great defense is going to be key.

Parking the bus won't keep a clean sheet in Mexico no matter what, but you're right. We could grab a set piece goal from Collin or something. If we keep a clean sheet at home and score on the road, we may have a chance.

Best case scenario imo: 2-0 win at home, 3-1 loss on the road. That'd put us through.
We're Champions of the U.S., you two, start acting like it.  :comehere: (<--- to Cruz)

I completely forgot about this, but Collin is suspended for tomorrow's game for YC accumulation (2 in the group stage). I'm not worried about that because Opara is a complete stud and tore it up during the group stage of CCL.

What I am worried about is the fact that Cruz Azul is way better than us and will probably score 2-3 goals. :ohno:

Great game last night, good atmosphere.  I about lost my crap early when there was two CA players wayyy offside and the linesman missed it.  Thankfully they too figured they'd be offside so they allowed Olum to catch up and clear it. 

I'm happy we won, but to advance to the next stage we really could have used at least one more goal.  Story of SKC's life though, lots of chance, many close calls.  The shutout is what could save us at this point.

DAMNIT I knew it didn't feel right when I typed it. 

Another thing, I was a bit surprised that CJ didn't come in sooner due to how small C.A. is and how we can create size mismatches around the goal . Not that we played much in the air near the goal yesterday, but I did figure that it would be to our advantage to have a bigger lineup.  At least in Mexico City we could have CJ, Colin, and Opara in the game if need be.  This all said, we still played damn well playing small so my opinion matters about as much as nothing

Am I the only one who thinks Nagamura should have been called offside? He looks like he was in an offside position as Ellis shot and blocked the view of the keeper. :dunno:

EDIT: Okay, so he doesn't exactly block the view of the keeper. Great pass from Bieler though.

HOLY EFF, they barely showed the replay in the stadium, so from our vantage point I thought Krongberg got a hand on it.  We definitely got lucky there with the no call. 

Also, doubt they should have called offsides on Nagamura since he didn't play the ball or quite make a play on the ball.

1:30 mark is Feilhaber's should have been called red card/penalty. Zusi shot is right after.

You don't have to make a play on the ball. If you're involved in the play (for example, block the goal keeper's view), it's offside. He probably didn't quite block his view enough though to warrant a call.

I missed it in the Dallas Burn match but in CA match its possible that the referee didn't see enough of it to determine whether it was a foul or dive, it was away from the ball.

It was supposed to spell out "defend." They mixed up two letters, and failed to unfurl one, so it spelled "deef'd." It's funny because they always eff up tifos. Usually because they have trouble unfurling a letter.

I thought away goals were worth more

in simplest terms, you can think of away goals as a tiebreaker if the aggregate score is tied (actual rules get a little more complicated than that in concacaf).  otherwise, they have no meaning.
Ok that makes sense

What is the deal with the south end? Everyone was all  :love: about the sign and I don't get it

It was supposed to spell out "defend." They mixed up two letters, and failed to unfurl one, so it spelled "deef'd." It's funny because they always eff up tifos. Usually because they have trouble unfurling a letter.

No the stars thing

So the north end...

I was still boozecat'n in the parking lot. I have no idea. I saw a picture and assumed south.

Josh Gardner has been waived by Sporting KC. #SKC

The addition of Toni and emergence of Ellis makes us not need him anymore. :thumbs:

I just don't see why we need a defender. We obviously don't need center backs (Besler, Collin, Opara, Olum, EPB) and I don't think either fullback position is a need either. LB - Sinovic, Ellis, Toni. RB - Myers, Jerome, Ellis :dunno:

I guess maybe Toni isn't considered fullback depth since he's apparently supposed to exclusively be a forward here. This new guy won't oust Myers or Sinovic though.

Ellis is a homegrown, so he's not going anywhere. I will be irate if we sell any defender besides Jerome, and I won't be happy about that. (Although I have heard he's rumored to be loaned to Orlando.)

Cruz Azul is incredibly good. And we only had 1 of our starting back line. Ellis, Jerome (even Gardner) are absolutely fine as 2nd and 3rd string fullbacks in MLS. If we would have had our starting back line (or at least 3 of them), they would have held their own in Mexico for sure.

Sounds like it'll be that Brazilian right back from Fluminense. Igor Julião.

Send Jerome on loan to OCSC, and then we'll have this:

Right back: Myers, Ellis, Julião
Left back: Sinovic, Ellis, Toni, Myers

Not sure of the order there.

EDIT: I shouldn't say it sounds like it will be him. It just makes sense, and his wikipedia page says his current club is Sporting KC now (via @downthebyline) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Juli%C3%A3o

P.S.- Also, I wanted to hate our new goalie (cause I miss the stud w/ the hairdo that retired), but I thought our new guy looked good on Saturday.

Post by: sunny_cat on March 25, 2014, 09:48:23 PM
Transfer deadline is May 12. It's complicated since transfer windows are different for different leagues. We're working on deals with 2 defenders and 1 midfielder. I think we have 2 roster spots open. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Kronberg looks pretty good so far, and he's a stud on twitter, but his back up who may win the job has the best nickname of all time. (Hebrew Hammer :love:)

as far as transfer windows, pretty much every league has a "preseason" and "midseason" window where you can trade.  as sunny said, can be kinda difficult to negotiate trades sometimes because our windows overlap differently with other leagues that are on different schedules.  we're somewhat oddballs, but it kinda works out

Munoz is a Real Madrid academy product.

He's an attacking midfielder. Wonder if he'd be in front of Alex Martinez at that position. Doubt he'd pass Medranda (although Medranda played at the box-to-box role recently alongside Benny).

Very young Brazilian right back. Probably will be a similar signing to Medranda. Won't see hardly any time this season, then we'll purchase him next season.

When sports historians look back at the MLS, everyone will scratch their heads at these decisions when the league was just hitting their stride as a league.

Not during football season. The Braves are also building a new stadium, I agree with you that they should play in a dome, but their new stadium won't be domed either.

To me, this means one of three things:

2. EPB steps up.
3. We buy a center back.

1 free roster spot. I think it means we see EPB, but that may be wishful thinking.

Kronberg got a huge raise for this season. Besler and Zusi are probably making more than what is released due to the retention funds crap that no one understands.

Also, I don't think Seth is under-paid. Full backs just aren't that valuable. That's why LA let Sean Franklin go and Chance was considering leaving KC. No one wants to pay 200k for a full back.

The cannon is a rivalry trophy for beating Houston. As in like the cannon that started the Texan revolution to secede from Mexico so I'd say that's pretty original and steeped in history. And FCD beat the Dynamo 4-1 in Houston so let's celebrate good Obama come on.

the bar is low, 42.  your move

Blas Perez = Stud. Love the hiring of Oscar Pareja thus far, the organization needed a shot in the arm after it kinda went moribund under Schellas Hyndman. Je-Vaughan Watson appears to have been a very good trade. Chris Seitz is also becoming a stud in goal and hopefully stays consistent.  Kinda hope the Hunts don't run the organization into the ground and stuff. FCD's marketing is very FCDALLASe0 but oh well I don't root for Houston teams. Their games are broadcast more often now on local tv so that's pretty great. Playing against Seattle and stud Dempsey at home on Saturday is going to be so much fun :excited:

Sidenote: Really wish Austin had a pro team, even NASL or something. Some people want to bring an MLS team to Austin and the local paper trolled the crap out of them on April 1 :Take the Bait:

Dallas is maybe the best team in the league, and George John is still returning from injury. Definitely one of the most fun teams to watch this season. SKC-Dallas MLS Cup? :surprised:

Diaz and Castillo - yes, confirmed studs. Castillo's already tied his goal tally from last season and appears to be working really well up front. Really good set pieces thus far as well. However, scoring 11 vs. 11 has been kinda tough for FCD which is why Pareja seems to be fiddling with the attack and the midfield areas of the lineup so much. They've done a great job of exploiting situations where the other team's down a man, but the shots and shot selection when an opponent has been at full strength hasn't been as good. That'll need to change if FCD wants to be a true contender.

I thought it was curious that Teixiera got the start over Perez vs. Houston but he seemed to cause some major havoc up front and could be a good fresh set of legs for attacking and complementing the midfielders. It'd be pretty hard to get them both on the field at the same time as you'd have to switch from a 4-2-3-1 to a 3-2-3-2 or a 4-4-2 which I don't think is something that Pareja is prepared to do. If Blas was injured last game I'd like to see him start and have Teixiera come off the bench consistently but if Teixiera beat him out in practice then I trust Pareja's judgment.

The consensus among the fans is that Fernandez will get his spot back in goal once he returns, which is probably deserved, but Seitz has certainly helped his stock the past few games.

Good question re: Acosta vs. Loyd. Loyd seems to have given Watson some freedom to roam on the right side of the pitch but Acosta's been pretty consistent. It's a good problem to have at this point, but I'd probably go with Loyd until he puts in a stinker.

Would :love: an FCS-SKC MLS cup. If everyone can stay healthy then this team seems to be good enough to contend for the West, but it's early.

Good stuff, 42. On Texeira, I think his start was the combination of two things, resting Perez because he's old, and Pareja loves him some youth talent. (See 2013 Rapids - Powers, Klute, Irwin, Brown, etc...). I think Perez will get the majority of starts, but, in order to keep him fresh, Texeira will get one here and there. In the next couple years, we'll probably see Texeira take the spot. Same thing with Acosta and Loyd - may be sooner there. I have heard good things about Acosta's ability in defensive midfield. Haven't watched him there.

Also, Mauro Diaz has been driving the bus for my fantasy team this season. Got him in my original squad, and his value has gone up 0.8. :gocho:

The Wizards craze is kind of disingenuous, because most wearing Wizards the stuff and chanting the chants about the Wizards didn't give a damn about the Wizards. I'm not saying that you can't be a Sporting fan if you weren't a Wizards fan I'm just saying most of that time was forgettable and most didn't even care to know.

#Revs2Fenway

Shut your whore mouth, we would never sully Fenway Park with the rough ridin' New England Revolution.

I was at the LFC/Roma match two years ago, it was very cool but the field is no where close to big enough, two of the corners were for all intents and purposes cut off and I'm pretty sure it was only like 68ft wide, could be wrong on that last point though I just remember something like that being discussed.

I'm sure you know this but LFC is owned by the same ownership group as the Red Sox and Fenway (Roma is also owned by a Bostonian) and the Revs are owned by the Crafts who also own Gillette Stadium and all of the bars, restaurants, and shops around it. Even if the Red Sox would allow another tenant during baseball season, no way in hell they ever would, the rent would be astronomical and while it would be better for the club, city, and league; it would be awful for the Krafts. The Revs have a better shot at playing their home games on my property than they do at Fenway.

There's no reason to sell, the team is doing just well enough for The Krafts to make money. They have a good TV deal, they own the stadium, the concessions, the parking lot, and all of the shops and restaurants in the area. The only way this gets better is if someone makes Jonathan Kraft a good enough offer for he and his dad to sell.

Matt Besler and the morning crew (on 810) were sharing stories about the 30 for 30 with liverpool and how all those ppl died over a stadium overload. They asked Matt if he had ever been around an environment like that and he said: "The closest thing would have been Nebraska/K-State in '98 and I was in open space when I rushed the field."

MLS2ATL event started you can watch live if you want

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Sud6WpRn8A#t=366

Don and Blank showed up in a helicopter

ATL will be team 22, Miami won't be happening before 2017(not surprising)

Silverbacks and MLSATL will have a working relationship

Official USA bid to host a WC is in the works and the ATL stadium is apart of it

Blank drops a line that the Falcons have been at the salary cap every year he has been an owner and he will put all financial backing to make MLSATL a success on the field

Stadium will be morphing to close up the upper bowl, artificial turf for MLS games

fans will vote on color scheme, name, and logo

Capacity for the stadium will be 29k seat for MLS games, never have football lines.

we won't. Orlando will be the only successful team in terms of fan support and being a good look for the league in the Southeast. Miami and Atlanta won't have any real fan support. They very well may be good teams on the field, no way to tell, but the fans won't be there.

Yeah, I don't care for the name, but it's the same name as the team that was pretty popular and won a lot in the original NSAL.  I think I'd rather have a USL-Pro team with what's becoming a strong affiliation with MLS over a new NSAL team.

Toni is starting, you guys!!  :excited:

Weird that he's playing in the midfield though and not on the wing. He's a very good passer, but I'm not sure how effective having both him and Benny F out there will be. Zusi and Feilhaber together in the midfield has only worked once. Usually too crowded. It's possible Benny will play more box-to-box to give Toni more of a number 10 role tonight. We'll see.

Maybe this has been discussed and I completely missed it but did you guys know Twellman was drafted by the Royals?

I was happy for Teal, I was also happy to see him get hugs from so many his from his former teammates after the game, confirms that he is a great guy.

I want to not like Nguyen and think he's garbagey but he's a very solid player.

Nguyen is very fun to watch. New England needs Rowe in the midfield before I'll take them seriously though.

He is a frequent guest host on a Boston sports talk station I frequently listen to and they were discussing it last week. And of course with Taylor Twellman on the network for 4 hours a day either once or twice a week they don't talk soccer, at all, not even a little bit. I'm sure we'll get 10 minutes or so in June though.

If not in this thread, then IRL for sure. He's the future of USMNT. Idk how long he'll play in KC though.

If I had to guess, I would say he plays this season, and next then leaves Kansas City, just a guess.

You might be thinking of their USL PDL team. The PDL is fourth tier iirc. USL Pro is third. That team SKC played in the USOC last season, Des Moines Menace, is also in the PDL.

scottwildcat,
 
As a fan who joined us last season I wanted to make you aware of a special offer we have available for our May 14th game vs. Philadelphia. Below is a link and promo code to access discounted tickets for the game. Kick-off is at 7:30 PM and this is a great opportunity to get out to a Sporting KC match this season. The pricing will be at the group price ($19-$28/ticket) but there is no requirement to purchase in a large quantity that groups typically require so feel free to pass it along to your co-workers, and friends. *Standard TM fees and delivery options apply.

Olum no longer headed to Kenya. EPB is hurt and was questionable for last night.

We're looking at something like this:

Kronberg;
Sinovic, Rosell/Myers, Olum, Myers/Juliao;
Nagamura/Rosell, Feilhaber, Martinez;
Zizzo, Dwyer/Bieler, Peterson

Not sure who'd play center back between Uri and Myers. I'd guess Uri since that's what he played for Barcelona. Also, his 1 on 1 defending is better.

No one said it was a huge deal. We're still one of the best teams in the league. Doesn't change the fact that we played shitty. No excuse to lose to an Edu-less Philadelphia at home. That said, we lose games every year there's no excuse to lose. Our record at SP has never been sterling like our away record has been.

New youngest current player in the league. Pretty sure EPB was the previous.

That kid looks like he's already going bald

Listening to Sporting matches on the radio is surprisingly fun. I was forced to listen driving back to Iowa from Minnesota, the guys did a great job.

Sellout streaks of any kind should come with an asterisk and really shouldn't be taken seriously. There is no threshold in any sport as to what is considered a sellout. The only real consensus as to what is considered a sellout is that it doesn't mean no available tickets. To some organizations a sellout constitutes a certain percentage of tickets sold, to others it's the number of tickets distributed as it relates to capacity. Whatever it means is totally in the eyes of the beholder because there is no standard that any sports franchise needs to be held accountable to, so it really doesn't matter.

So Olum is going for both games... That means he'll miss 4 games, Chicago, TFC, NY, and DC....

I'm preparing for a backline of Peterson, Sinovic, Myers, Juliao.  :ROFL:

We're going to lose at home to Michael Bradley-less Toronto just like we lost to Maurice Edu-less Philadelphia.

EDIT: In all seriousness, Sinovic, EPB/Naga, Myers, Juliao is what we're probably looking at. I feel like EPB can be ready to go.

Yeah, Nate and Jake do a nice job. I think they'll get even better after a few more games together, smoothing out some of the "who talks when" stuff when things get exciting. If I had one complaint, it would be that I wish Nate would throw in a few more mentions of the area of the pitch when they're between the boxes, i.e., "up to Rosell at midfield" or "over to Sinovic who streaks down the near touch-line," just to help as I'm drawing the mental picture.

Meh, very much a rarity though. I'd think it's incredibly rare for a MLS team to lose two players to the world cup. I can live with losing the best players in the world for 6 matches every 4 years.

Football doesn't have the greatest sporting event in the world (World Cup.) That parallel can't be made. Yes, we lose them to WCQs now and then, but it's a long season. When healthy, we're one of the deepest teams (if not the deepest) in the league. We are just victims of extremely unfortunate circumstances right now.

This is only an issue because MLS can't have winter scheduling like most other leagues. It's the way things are, and we have to deal with it. MLS takes a backseat during the World Cup anyway.

Dear Fans, dear brothers, dear sisters, since day one of my arrival thanks to you all, i felt at home here in Turkey. Sharing, seeing, feeling the passion, sincerety and warm hospitality of My Turkish people is trully unforgetable. Being a human helping humanity and peace, i feel obliged to make clarity on the latest false news circulating around social media on donating into the TRAGEDY in SOMA. The tragedy that happended in SOMA hurt the hearth of all of us. Kindly note my support at my own capacity and thru my foundation is and will always continue. It is NOT in my nature to allow false statements, i always preffer to remain descrete when i do such duty. Like my Turkish brothers say. Soz gumus ise, sukut Altindir. If words are Silver , Silence is Gold. #staystrongturkey

that game was extremely fun even though it had the usual turnoffs for casual watchers (low score*, parking the bus)

You're a moron if you're wondering why we're struggling without Uri (arguably most important player on the team) and our best 4 center backs (Besler, Collin, Opara, Olum). Like seriously, Ellis and EPB were our center backs.

dobberette was selected for Challenge team after tryouts this weekend.   :billdance:
guys, I love my daughter, but I was pretty surprised she made a team. I am very happy for her, though!
After she got the call, she said, "I'm better than dobber jr." (in that sing songy voice)
dobber jr, who was very encouraging to her throughout the process, then kind of turned into a brat and said, "You wanna go outside and watch me score 30 in a row on you?"

toddler dobber said he wants to play soccer, too.

dobber jr was asked to play in a 3 on 3 tourney this month, so that will be last dobber family soccer update of the summer until fall season starts.

Man, there are a lot of tuck butthurt losers in the SKC fan circles over Villa and the assumed Lampsy signings by NYCFC. Some calling NYCFC cheaters, some saying this is bad for the league and the image, etc... These fans are going to BID real hard when DP spots go up to 5 from 3 and the cap gets softer and softer in the next three to five years.

yes

They won the league last year and the playoffs had like 7-8K fans show up (which vastly eclipses the rest of the PDL...average was something like 1800 a game I believe) for a semi-pro team so I'd like to think that the city would support a winning pro franchise.

the lower divisions of soccer in America are just as important as the MLS for us as a soccer nation. Properly placed USL and NASL franchises can def shoot for competitive games and attendance numbers that flirt with 10k game in and game out.

I don't think this was posted so here:

Quote from: Uri
Dear SKC Family,

As you may know, I have been given a wonderful opportunity to play soccer in Lisbon, Portugal with Sporting Clube de Portugal. Although I am no longer a Sporting Kansas City player, I didn’t want to leave without saying goodbye and giving you my sincere thanks for all the support you’ve given me during these past two years.

After coming here from my little hometown of Puig-Reig, Catalonia, to Kansas City, I could have never imagined all the experiences I would have both as a player and as a human being. In Kansas City, I was given the chance to grow and learn from Major League Soccer. The drive and the never-give-up mentality of the American people impressed me.

I would love to thank all the SKC coaches and staff for promoting this mindset and for all the support and confidence they gave me from day one. You’ve shown me the path to follow, so I can continue to grow as a soccer player.

Thanks to my teammates for all the great moments we’ve shared together. For me, you were not only SKC teammates, but also friends. I’ve learned so much because of you.

Thank you to the great SKC ownership group for giving me the opportunity to come to Kansas City.

Certainly, I can’t forget the amazing SKC fans. You all have been the 12th player to help us win two cups - the Lamar Hunt 2012 U.S. Open Cup and the 2013 MLS. Cup. I’ve enjoyed meeting you and giving everything I had in every game. And for those reasons, I’ll always be thankful for all your support.

Life sometimes presents us with difficult decisions. Given the opportunity proposed by the great Sporting Clube de Portugal to play in Europe where I am close to my family, and playing in the prestigious Portuguese league and UEFA Champions League, I couldn’t pass it up. I'm really excited to start this new adventure.

Thank you to all the friends who I’ve met and influenced my life during my stay in this great country. I wish you well.

Oriol “Uri” Rosell

This was posted in the national team thread I thought I would bring it over here. Seattle not just sacking up and building their own huge SSS is why they will never be seen as the premiere MLS franchise. Yes they have the best attendance in the league, yes for big matches they have one of the best atmospheres but to be playing on turf and in an NFL stadium that has had football lines in the past will always, in my book prevent them from being a top 5 franchise in the MLS. If I were a Seattle fan I would be a delusional prick who thinks my team invented North American soccer, but if I were in the MLS leadership I would be extremely pissed at this thought process and settling to continue to be an NFL franchise's little brother instead of striving to be the new ceiling in North American soccer.

Century Link is a great stadium though and as the article states, they get it rent free. All they have to do is figure out a way to have their own turf, I don't feel like it should be that hard. University of Phoenix Stadium has natural grass in a dome in the desert. They have their field on massive rollers and they roll it out into the parking lot when not in use allowing it to get sun and water. If they can do this in the desert I'm dumbfounded that they can't find a way to do something similar in Seattle, just switch the fields for whomever is playing at the time. I would think that they would have some sense of urgency so that they can start hosting WCQs and eventually as a World Cup site.

Century Link is a very good stadium, and it converts to MLS games better than most, and yes rent free is great, but they could literally be the crown jewel of the MLS if they were to build a 45-50k SSS. I understand everything working against it, and I realize that DC, New England, NYCFC, Vancouver, LA2 and maybe even Columbus should be higher priorities in getting their own SSS, but none of those franchises could instantly become what every other MLS club can strive to be.

All Star related. I said I didn't think he'd get the spot even though he's the best keeper because I think others have had better seasons. To be fair, it's basically a popularity contest.

Probably. It'll give us the physicality Robb has mentioned. Espinoza wouldn't be a like-for-like swap. He's best in the box-to-box role (where Naga plays). Claros plays deeper where Uri did.

Yup. There are a lot of Wichita based SKC fans and a good amount in their AO chapter so there is a chance they'd make it fun to occasionally go to. The quality will be pretty bad.

So apparently Wichita is getting a NPSL team next year. Is that level soccer even bearable to watch?

Depends on the atmosphere created,  location, and how much you like soccer.

So basically like all sports in Wichita then?

Yup. There are a lot of Wichita based SKC fans and a good amount in their AO chapter so there is a chance they'd make it fun to occasionally go to. The quality will be pretty bad.

Cool, I'll probably at least check out a game or 2. Don't know if they even know where they're playing yet. Hopefully somewhere with beer lol.

Hey guys, MLS doesn't really get me going that much (except watching Yedlin for the Sounders  :love:) but I'm thinking of choosing a Mexican team to be a fan of. Suggestions?

Here are ones I'm considering:

C.F. Pachuca
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/93/Pachuca_Tuzos_logo.svg/177px-Pachuca_Tuzos_logo.svg.png)
Founded in 1901, so they aren't some Johnny Come Lately, and they finished 6th last year, which is pretty good but I don't feel bandwagony about them if they are my team. Also, I love their Shield!




Puebla F.C.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/ae/Puebla_FC_2.svg/200px-Puebla_FC_2.svg.png)
This team features our very own DeMarcus Beasley! Plus the city of Puebla was founded in 1531, which is very long ago, and I find interesting.



Queretaro F.C.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/92/Queretaro_FC_logo.svg/200px-Queretaro_FC_logo.svg.png)
This team has a great shield, and is a real up and comer. I like that they were sent down to the lower division in 2013, but came back up. I hope they stay good, and people appreciate that they overcame obstacles to get on top.


So guys, what do you think? Any other teams I should consider?

This will be MY favorite soccer club moving forward, so this is important. I will follow their record root root root for them.

Queretaro barely exists anymore. Their ownership group got in huge financial trouble. I really like Liga MX. I'd pick Tijuana because they have lots of Americans (less now that Castillo/Herc left).

Just a hunch but I think the only way he leaves is if one of the Premier League teams pays a hefty fee for him. I doubt he's looking to move and SKC definitely isn't looking to move him. I could definitely see a trial loan though.

yeah, i don't anything about this stuff. i just figured with jurgen preferring that they play in europe along with besler's stud showing, that he might be on the euro's radar now.

Oh I'm sure he's on some radars and I bet SKC gets contacted, I just think his value as a local kid making it big is higher to SKC than it is to most Euro teams.

It's pretty well known that he's on the radar of some English and German clubs. Like it's been mentioned though, that doesn't mean he'll move. Jürgen prefers they play in Europe, but Besler isn't going to lose his spot as a result of staying here. Zusi might what with the stud talent capable of playing his position (Yedlin, Green, Zelalem, etc).

Asked about the chances of Besler transferring to play overseas, Heineman replied, “I’d say there’s a strong possibility that could happen based on the interest that’s out there.”

If it were to happen, it would happen “probably within the next 10 days,” according to Besler’s agent, Eddie Rock. Besler deferred questions about the situation to his agent.

Will be interesting to see where he goes. Hopefully he comes back and retires in KC after the '18 WC. I wanna see EPB take over as the starter and see what the kid can do over the next year and a half before we sell him for big cash.

The Fire are on my MCI-MDW flight

stab Sean Johnson in the throat.
Never heard of him. Charles Guycroft, equipment manager, was in my row. It should be noted that the Fire, who presumably fly frequently enough to get Southwest A-list, were all in the B boarding group.

Pretty cool. Could make a solid MLS team out of the homegrowns.

                 Lampson
Yedlin, O'Neill, Palmer-Brown, Lade
                   Trapp
        Teibert, Shipp, Serna
             Zardes, Okoli

That team is better than Chicago.

Also I've decided eff it, I'm gonna go to the playoffs even though they're at garbage House Park.

Can I root for a PDL/USL Pro team and an MLS team (FC Dallas) at the same time? I don't know if this is really a party foul or not given how weird the American soccer pyramid is. If they move up to NASL I'd start feeling super guilty but since USL Pro is still like two leagues down it's pretty unlikely they'll ever play each other.

If I've said it before, I've said it a million times, 2-1 is by far my favorite score line, but especially when it's:

Our team scores first
Their team scores next
We score last, especially late in game.

On the road and it's an extra bonus.

So, pretty good game for me. Could of waited a few more minutes on that last goal though.

List of things I hate about MLS would begin with:

Also, terrible home team announcers like (sorry) that fake British guy for SKC.

I mean, prove to me he's really British and not just trying too hard.

List of things I hate about MLS would begin with:

1. Teams that play on turf, and the turf they play on.

Also, terrible home team announcers like (sorry) that fake British guy for SKC.

I mean, prove to me he's really British and not just trying too hard.

sunny i love Cal but also i just found out he was 21 when SKC hired him?! that's pretty nuts and kind of a risky move on SKC's part, but i think it's worked out great. he's very good and i see him out and about in kc all the time

Sure he's got zeal, but don't you think he forcing it a bit when he says (more like shouts) something like:

"He may be in the twilight of his career, but he is more than capable of producing aurora-like moments!"?

I mean, come-on already. Pretentious much?

FC Dallas plays in the boiling hot tundra of north texas, and although Toyota Stadium was one of the forerunners of the soccer-specific stadium movement, i'm not sure it's what this Japanese player is used to. Honda is used to competing in larger civic centers, where the fans all chant in one accord. not to mention fc dallas sucks. it would be quite the odyssey to pilot that sinking ship.

Post by: sunny_cat on July 16, 2014, 10:57:28 AM
Jorge Claros is a defensive midfielder who plays for Honduras. Currently plays in Honduras. More physical replacement for Uri. We have been linked to him for almost a couple years I think. At least one. I get the impression he's kind of a Roger/Uri hybrid. Would take over for Olum to give us a Claros-Nagamura-Feilhaber midfielder when at our strongest.

I don't know anything about Steuble other than what you can find on wikipedia. Had never heard of him until this morning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Steuble

All Star Fan XI will be announced tonight on ESPN2 during Philly-RBNY

My best guess:

             Rimando
Yedlin, Collin, Besler, Sinovic
     Beckerman, Bradley
      Dempsey, Morales
          Henry, Keane

What it should be:

             Rimando
Yedlin, Collin, Besler, Sinovic
     Beckerman, Bradley
     Dempsey, Feilhaber
     BWP, Dwyer/Torres

Besler is our most important player. If we want to win a trophy this season, we need him. I would absolutely be fine with him leaving. It could be great for him (also could be shitty). Wanting him not to stay is idiotic. He's worth more than 5-6 million bucks to the club. His transfer value is another thing. What are we going to use that money on that will help the club more than Matt Besler?

They are getting paid close to equal money and staying here. This is huge folks. This is a sign that the MLS is on the rise. Players are starting to choose to stay here vs going to small 1st division European leagues, the elite MLS clubs are starting to pay to keep our own guys around and match what they could make at those clubs. Sporting once again showing we are the premier club in North American soccer.

Social media reaction was mixed after the deal was announced, with Sporting fans celebrating the club's move while some questioned whether the players were choosing a comfortable path that would not help them – or the national team – get better.

Club president Robb Heineman had a blunt take on that latter viewpoint.

“I've seen a lot of stuff on social media around – 'Oh, you know, this is not a good decision for the guys from a national team perspective' – and to me, that's complete BS,” he told reporters. “This is one of the best clubs in the world from a development perspective. The opportunity and the tools that are available here, including Peter and the way he trains these guys, is world-class. So any reference or thought that it's not a first-class opportunity for these guys to be here, to me, is just complete crap.

“This club has the desire to be one of the greatest in the world,” he continued. “I think right now, we're the greatest in MLS. Frankly, I think there's no question that we're the greatest in MLS. And we're going to do everything that we can to try to continue to advance the vision of the club over time.”

So, how does DP work?  Could we get rid of Bieler and make Dom DP?

However, it sounds/feels based on stuff I've read that he's very interested in getting back to the EPL or SPL, right?
Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: sunny_cat on July 20, 2014, 10:23:13 PM
Yes we all expect Dom to go to England soon. If he goes to Scotland, eff him. Yes, we could make him DP if/when Bieler leaves. May lose Feilhaber as a result, but I feel like if we gave him a slight bump up, he'd stay because of how elite we are.

Partial blame to Caleb Porter for picking Parkhurst and Will Johnson. Partial blame to MLS fans for voting in Donovan, Cahill, and Gonzalez. Just some ridiculous choices. I don't give a eff about names. None of those players deserve to be on the team. There are plenty who do including Sinovic, Feilhaber, and Dwyer.
Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: sunny_cat on July 20, 2014, 11:09:05 PM
Imo, Feilhaber being left off is slightly worse than Dom. Benny has been by far the most consistent, best midfielder in the league the entire season. He should be in over Zusi who has not been spectacular by any means.

How much can we pay Benny and not make him a DP?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't know. Think he makes around 300k now. And I think the DP cap hit is around 375k fwiw. I hope he'd be okay with like 350k. He's basically 30 already. Not the same as Zusi and Besler. We're going to have to cut some players to keep our "core." As long as Seth is SKC for life, I'm good, even if that means cutting Chance.

we basically put them in a protected class of player reserved for keeping exceptional talent in the MLS, and they'll effectively not count against our salary cap anymore.  same class of player that's reserved to entice people like david beckham, etc

The re-brand was very important, and the fact that it coincided with the stadium and the winning was very important.

I know how the ownership group operates (:peek:); once they committed to the re-brand, it was going to be top notch.

SKC wins and does things to help win because their ownership, from the top down, doesn't accept anything less.  Ever.

I think fans in KC find that to be refreshing.

I feel like they are. I just know Medranda and Juliao are.

I don't think there's a but option clause in Cubo Torres' contract, but if new ownership wants to buy him, I'm sure they could make him their first DP. I hope that happens.

That expansion draft is going to suck, though as good as SKC has been at finding and developing young talent I'm not as concerned. Also will help ease my mind if NE continues to suck balls and taint (we got their 1st superdraft pick next year for Teal right?)

Yea, just looked it up to be sure. If NE keeps playing like they have the last couple months that could become a very nice pick. Obviously won't be top 2 and I seriously doubt they finish as bad as Montreal but #4 is possible.

If they can work it so they buy Igor, but after the expansion draft plus the fact that EPB isn't eligible would make it a lot easier to protect the core and a high draft pick would allow them to pick up a quality developmental player to replace whoever gets taken

I thought Teal was traded for a 2nd? Idr. Also expansion draft is going to suck balls and taints, question though: since OCSC is already a club and effectively moving up how does that play into expansion drafts and what happens to the players who where on contract past this season?

Looks like we have Sporting KC's first round pick, New England's first round pick (Bunbury trade), New England's second round pick (Feilhaber trade). Also, Toronto has our second round pick (Michael Thomas trade).

Hopefully if we lose a good guy, we trade to get him back like we did for Sinovic. Traded away Arnaud.

I think we are going to leave Myers unprotected. He's probably a core player, but I don't know if we can afford to keep him on that big salary we just gave him with those two new DP contracts. If we can afford it, by all means, he's my first choice right back ahead of Igor and Ellis.

Making a list is going to be so rough ridin' hard for this offseason. We have so many good players. I'm freaking out we're going to lose Saad or someone like that. :frown:

SKC wins and does things to help win because their ownership, from the top down, doesn't accept anything less.  Ever.

I think fans in KC find that to be refreshing.

I tend to think the stadium factor is overblown. Maybe not after playing at the baseball stadium but if Sporting would have stayed in Arrowhead and rebranded and got super awesome, they could be filling Arrowhead Seattle style. I'm glad they got their own stadium though although the location sucks for this city guy.

I would have to see all the numbers in front of me, but moving Zus and Bes to DP slots aren't their salary cap numbers now lower than before?

Wouldn't letting Chance go and selling Claudio and drafting GA guys allow enough room to give raises to Dom and Benny and keep everyone?

Besler was on 200k (200k guaranteed). Zusi 365k with 398k guaranteed.

200+398=598

368+368=736

Yeah, I hope so. Ideally, I want to keep Chance too.

I'm considering the reality that with the two new DPs, there's no way we can afford to have Collin, Dwyer, Feilhaber AND Myers. Going to be sad to see any go, but one or two might have to.

Eh....sell off Claudio and if we get rid of Dom make sure to get paid to do it.

salary cap

I would have to see all the numbers in front of me, but moving Zus and Bes to DP slots aren't their salary cap numbers now lower than before?

Wouldn't letting Chance go and selling Claudio and drafting GA guys allow enough room to give raises to Dom and Benny and keep everyone?

Besler was on 200k (200k guaranteed). Zusi 365k with 398k guaranteed.

200+398=598

368+368=736

Yeah, I hope so. Ideally, I want to keep Chance too.

hmm I was under the impression Zusi was slightly lower and Matt was much higher. Still getting rid of the 3rd DP slot hit gets us to where we were. I think we can keep whoever PV and the FO want to keep. I trust whatever they do though. I have no reason to not be confident in all decisions they make.

Hmm.

That said, is 25% of Dom more important than 100% of Kronberg?

Again, new to the thread, but it seems like we could find someone of equal value in goal, but it would be harder to replace a guy like Dom (should it come to that).

If we have to lose Kronberg, we'd still have the Hammer and Kempin.

Kronberg is a top keeper in the league. Gruenebaum is pretty good. Kempin, I hope will be the starter in a few years.

I think it's dumb that your DP players aren't auto-protected.  If you're going to make that kind of investment, they should be exempt.

You should be rewarded for spending the money and investing in your club, which in turn benefits the league.  Essentially, you're being penalized for spending money and leaving (potentially) three good people open because you have to protect the millions you spent to elevate your club.

The problem with that list is that, while it leaves us with a current lineup, it leaves several guys who will probably be pretty important down the road unprotected.

At least one of the bigger money guys is probably going to have to be sacrificed. Kronberg should probably be protected (though as mentioned, Greenbaum and Kempin make it a little more acceptable risk) and I think Toni is a must as well as Igor if necessary.

If it was as easy as saying here take the guys we don't necessarily need SKC would love it, but as it stands I don't see an outcome where SKC comes away from this anywhere close to happy. That's the mark of a good organization though and the reason an expansion draft in a league so dependent on development and discovery of players stupid. It's almost a punishment for being good at it.

I like the guy but why is everyone so sure they want to keep Soony around?  Last year he was great, this year he hasn't been all that fantastic whatsoever.  Reminds me of Teal/CJ 2 years ago or so and the fall off they've both had since tearing it up one season. Obviously we don't want to lose much firepower on offense this offseason, but I don't think he's played his way into being kept around for sure.  Vermes is smart enough to realize that you need a great defense first, so I think he'll want to focus on keeping a solid defense before worrying about firepower up front (assuming we keep Dom).

Just my two cents.  I love Jacob Peterson, but even I know he'll be unprotected  :bang:

I don't know if it's each team can only take one, but it's 2 max either way.

I think Tobias is referring to the idea that we leave Soony unprotected, Dom leaves for England, and Bieler goes back to SA.

Why do you love Peterson?

Peterson is the perfect player for Vermes system.  Dom has the same attributes, but is much MUCH better at scoring when he has opportunities.  But basically, he's a hustler who never quits.  He always puts pressure on the ball and chases people down.  This a lot of times creates chances for us that we wouldn't have otherwise off of our opponents doing DERP things.  He also makes good runs (he's just not great at finishing them when he gets the ball).  All in all, you know what you're getting with him. And he's damn consistent with his output

Was already going to leave twice but deals fell through both times. First on loan to St. Mirren (Scotland). Then transfer to Charlton Ath. Also, he's English and is playing amazing. Someone in England will buy him.

EDIT: Just looked. Charlton was also a loan deal. He was just starting to get minutes at the end of last season though, and only had like 2 or 3 goals for SKC. Maybe now that he is the solidified starter and playing well, he'd be more inclined to stay.

When he was going on loan to the SPL, he hadn't done crap for SKC yet. MLS is better. He's not going to Scotland. If/when he leaves, it'll be to England. High Championship/low EPL (maybe). It's not necessarily about what's "better." Kei wanted to play in England, so we let him go play for crap club, Middlesbrough. If Dom wants to leave (pretty sure he does/will), he will leave.

Beasley will end up in Eastern Conference. Best I can tell, not DC, TFC, NE, CHI, MON, ORL, NYCFC. My hunch is Houston.

Maybe would push Brad Davis to right midfield and Boniek to the center (admittedly I haven't watched dumpster fire Houston much lately). Could also start at left back but seems silly when Houston already has Ashe.

The MC manager was basically saying in his press conference that we were full speed, and they are rusty because this is their preseason.

Sounds like someone isn't very confident!

well hopefully signing davies helps us out a bit by not making us play vertonghen out left anymore (even though he was fantastic there during the wc)

dawson, sad to say, seems like he's past it.  kaboul needs to stay healthy, chiriches needs to get healthy...  we're suspect there depth-wise if we make any kind of europa league run :frown:

He's good but solidly behind Kompany, Demichelis, and Nastasic. Also, Garcia plays center back at times and looks decent.

I think things were fairly tight in the first half until Colin lost Boyata and got schooled in the 43'.

Once everyone switched to their second teams, they ran a train on us.

So, the story I'm telling myself is that the starting 11 for SKC can compete with an elite EPL squad. 

I don't care if I'm wrong.  :don'tcare:

I don't know about that.  But there were a lot of changes.

I don't think Beasler, Dom, or Zusi played in the second.  I didn't see Colin out there, but I may not have been paying attention.

I don't think Sapong or Saad played in the second, either, but after we went down 3-1, I'll admit that I may or may not have kept it on in the background while doing other stuff.

does it hurt the image of MLS to get clown showed like that on national TV?  serious question.  I understand MC is far superior and that zusi didn't play and that we were playing our subs in the second half.  It was obvious that we treated that game like an exhibition, just like MC did. 

I guess I'm wondering if the MLS would benefit from not treating these games like exhibitions.  The broadcast made a fairly big deal of the Ashley Cole statement that he rejected the MLS because he's "not ready to relax on a beach yet," and Lalas was like, "time to change that image."  If we're trying to shed this negative stigma of being a third/fourth tier professional league, I feel like we should be approaching these games with more urgency.  It's fine for MC to treat the game as an exhibition, but I don't think SKC and the MLS as a whole have that luxury.

I dunno.  HSIQ-types please weigh in.

seattle just treated their game vs tottenham pretty seriously, and tied 3-3. there you have an upper echelon MLS team vs a middling EPL team. that's a pretty fair assessment. SKC would never beat the EPL champs, and shouldn't. i think soccer fans are educated enough to know that a friendly doesn't really mean anything, since both sides played a non-traditional lineup

well, yeah, most fans understand that MC > SKC.  EP > MLS.  agreed.  Based purely on image, though, I think most non-Americans (and a lot of Americans) view the MLS like Ashley Cole.  amateur place to retire.  Just wondering if it helps that image change if the MLS champs would have gone out with a a strong starting lineup and beat MC. 

Maybe it's just poor form to try hard for 90 minutes in a friendly.  I dunno.  But, I think we win that game if we play our starters for 90 minutes.

Playing starters for 90 minutes would be Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) when we have a huge game in Toronto in a few days. When managing the game last night, MLS' image is the last thing on PV's mind. Most important thing is making sure they don't get injured. Second is giving the youngsters experience and not pushing the starters too hard.

Obviously not a HSIQ type, but personally, I think to change the stigma, you don't shoot for competing with an EPL type of league yet, but you should be more concerned with taking the CONCACAF dominance away from Mexican Clubs in the Champions League.

No one considers CONCACAF in the same league as UEFA or anything like that, so you better dominate your smaller pond before trying to stack up against the big boys in Europe.

They mentioned near the end of the broadcast that SKC is already at a disadvantage in defending the cup due to the number of injuries suffered thus far, having to play in CONCACAF Champions League, and then still playing the full MLS slate.

The announcers downplayed the result and I thought were trying to justify that SKC has more meaningful, realistic things to play for.

However, they did acknowledge the win against Man U as a turning point for the club, so they did acknowledge that beating an EPL giant did help the club.  I mean, how can it not?

if Sinovic is healthy, Ellis at CB, Sinovic at LB

Mike Kuhn @downthebyline  ·  7m
and if EPB can't go, then you either of JP or Zizzo play LB.

Mike Kuhn @downthebyline  ·  3m
also could mean that Claros makes his debut.

little out of date now (spring 2013), but http://www.recklesschallenge.net/designated-player-myths-and-realities/ (http://www.recklesschallenge.net/designated-player-myths-and-realities/) has some interesting stats on DPs.

Quote
Historical average DP age at signing is 29 years 5 months.
Average current MLS DP’s age at signing is 29 years 3 months.
In 2007 (first year of DP’s), average age was 32 years 4 months.
In 2008,  the average age of DP’s signed was 32 years 6 months.
In 2009, it dropped drastically to 24 years 9 months (Fredy Montero was 21, Luis Ángel Landín was 24, and Julian de Guzman was the old man at 28).
In 2010, the average age was 30 years and 2 months.
In 2011, the average age was 27 years and 11 months.
In 2012, the average age was 29 years and 11 months.
Thus far in 2013, the average is 26 years and 9 months.
The country with the most DP’s is Argentina, with 10. Brazil is second with 6, and Colombia and Mexico are tied for third with 5.
The US has had 4 DP’s – Landon Donovan, Freddy Adu, Claudio Reyna, and Chris Wondolowski.

It was pure luck that they didn't walk away with three.

Their counters post the '75 mark were aggressive and on point.  Colin saved our asses.

Our counters looked really muddled and sloppy.  Peterson was the only one really effectively forcing the issue.

Big win for us by Houston over DC tonight. We hold our own destiny in the East and DC may just melt down and hand us the east in the second half. I personally have my targets set on Seattle. Really want Captain Matt to raise the shield and to have paint on the wall before the playoffs start.

Dynamo game (my first MLS game in person) was fun despite my FCD loyalties. Crowd was good for a team with that bad of a record. Their ultras kept up a solid atmosphere for the whole game--lots of their chants were in Spanish which was kinda weird but cool. Honestly their new stadium is very nice. Quite clean, very good sight lines, good sound system, jumbotron placement was a little off though because they have one in the corner for up to date info (substitutions, yellow cards, etc) and one big jumbotron that is permanently designated to play the game in real time. Beasley made a fantastic run through the DC United defense that ended up with a great chance for Houston that wasn't capitalized on. DC United's goalie mumped up late and gave the Dynamo the opening they needed to finally finish, but frankly it was a deserved result as the Dynamo were on attack all night and DC United barely even showed up to play.

Sidenote-- after the game had a very large girl who had been drinking since 10 am tell me she was the smartest girl in Texas then proceeded to give me crap for wearing a Houston Astros shirt and tried to steal my sunglasses. Bitch, don't eff with the Target shades.

Pics sometime tomorrow, need to go to bed and drive back to Austin at the asscrack of dawn. Thank rough ridin' christ FCD beat Chivas. We need promotion/relegation just to get rid of that blight on the league.

Never bring up pro/rel again. Also Chivas will no longer be an awful club once they have new owners.

I don't think you're in the minority.  It's very stupid.  Playing in baseball stadiums puts the fans even further away from the field.  Part of the appeal of going to games is being close to the action to see the athleticism up close.  It's why going to Wizards games at Community America sucked so bad.  I'm pretty curious to how many people will attend game to game

Pro/Rel would end up harming some of these clubs beyond repair.  Can you imagine a city and ownership group making tens of millions (sometimes hundreds) of dollars in investments and then watching a bunch of USL teams coming in there after they've been relegated?

Fans would leave in droves and never come back.  It would be like the Royals getting relegated to AAA and playing a bunch of minor league teams in Royals stadium.  Can you imagine how devastating that would be for local economies?  For the billion dollars in investments the taxpayers in this region have paid?

Granted, the investments in these MLS facilities are on a smaller scale, but it's the same concept; you can't drop this kind of money trying to build a franchise and then do Pro/Rel.  You'd just de-incentivise a ton of clubs and potential ownership groups from getting involved and trying to join the league because they wouldn't want to take that risk.

Yeah, but try establishing an American fan base when you keep yo-yoing between being a crappy major league team and a good minor league team.

You may be okay in the short term, but long term, it's probably not a viable investment.

Quote from: Mark Abott on pro/rel
I would say it never happens.

CASE CLOSED

Pro/Rel would end up harming some of these clubs beyond repair.  Can you imagine a city and ownership group making tens of millions (sometimes hundreds) of dollars in investments and then watching a bunch of USL teams coming in there after they've been relegated?

Fans would leave in droves and never come back.  It would be like the Royals getting relegated to AAA and playing a bunch of minor league teams in Royals stadium.  Can you imagine how devastating that would be for local economies?  For the billion dollars in investments the taxpayers in this region have paid?

Granted, the investments in these MLS facilities are on a smaller scale, but it's the same concept; you can't drop this kind of money trying to build a franchise and then do Pro/Rel.  You'd just de-incentivise a ton of clubs and potential ownership groups from getting involved and trying to join the league because they wouldn't want to take that risk.

England has parachute payments for relegated teams.  Set money aside for teams that go down to lessen the financial blow.

You would know :lol:

Seeing Caleb follow Pep to midfield saying "Pep Pep Pep I'm sorry" makes me want to vomit. Porter should have gotten in his face after that finger wag. Is Pep a black belt or something?

That wasn't sticking up for his players, Caleb Porter didn't do a damn thing to his players. One one would have minded if he would went up to the two players who committed fouls after and chatted with them. He threw a tantrum. Their previous friendly, against Chivas in New York, had 4 booked fouls three for Chivas and one for Bayern. Bayern won the match and Pep didn't "stick up for his players" in that match. There's no excuse for not shaking the man's hand and wagging his finger at him. It was a punk move.

Pep is pissed because they actually tried to play (at least in terms of an exhibition anyway) and lost. To be honest, the score could have been worse due to Henry's studness.

I agree with what's been said. Pep did a bitch thing and Porter shouldn't have acted like someone kicked his dog. Have some pride for Christ's sakes. Is he that starved for validation?

Same way they were going to make the Kljestan deal work. Pro-rated DP money for the rest of this season with a max non-DP salary and covering the rest with allocation money. Probably won't be much more than $1m, but it's LA, and he loves LA.

After careful deliberation and after many conversations with those closest to me, I have decided that this will be my last season as a professional soccer player.

I don't write these words lightly and this day carries mixed emotions for me. I am sad to leave a profession that has brought me so much joy. I will miss all of the teammates who helped me create so many incredible memories on-the-field, and who I have shared many wonderful experiences with off-the-field. I will miss my coaches, at both the club and national team levels, who have helped me develop throughout my career and helped make me the player I am today. However, after spending half my life as a professional soccer player, I also am excited to begin a new chapter and pursue other opportunities that will challenge me and allow me to grow as a person.

There are so many people I want to thank who have inspired me, guided me and helped me on this incredible journey. I simply could not have accomplished what I did during my playing career without an overwhelming amount of support from my family, my friends and many others. I plan to express my gratitude to everyone in a more detailed manner at a later date; however, for now, I want to single out the fans. You are the lifeblood of this sport and, without you, none of us would be fortunate to call ourselves professional soccer players in MLS.

I feel incredibly blessed and lucky to have played a role in the remarkable growth of MLS and US Soccer during my playing career. And while my career as a player will soon be over, rest assured I will stay connected on many levels to the beautiful game.

As we enter a transformative time for the sport, I will do everything I can to help the continued growth of soccer in the United States. I look forward to making a difference, pursuing my passions and meeting all of you along the way in this next phase of my life.

With gratitude,
Landon

rumblings if tottenham does buy him they'll just loan him back to seattle for the rest of 2014.  can't say i know much about intentions if he ends up elsewhere (roma, etc).  so basically no confirmation.

heck, i'm not even sure he could get a work visa in england?

and that the transfer window ended yesterday, so it's not like seattle could re-sign him on a loan since he'd be under contract elsewhere anyways

He is absolutely not better than Myers. So much worse defensive positioning-wise, and he rough ridin' never actually completes crosses. Yes, he's exciting and skilled. Gets into dangerous areas. Beyond that, he's a raw prospect.

Yeah it wasn't our finest effort but Kempin showed off his potential which was nice. Our midfield needs to get figured out and the defense solidified as well for us to stay kicking butt. That match blowed from the get go.  Feilhaber continues to be class though

That ref part you mention makes it sound like they flew the ref from dobber jr's game in to make a special MLS appearance. 2 hand balls in the box, one of which was on a corner and the kid reached out to his side to deflect it. A third hand ball at mid field by a kid lying on the ground who sticks both arms up and deflects the ball to his teammate who dribbles once, passes to another kid who scores to allow the other team to go up 4-2. All 3 times the ref saw it and motioned to play on. :facepalm:

My least favorite thing about Cal is when he talks about scoring against a player's former club. When you're dog crap like Peterson, you get traded a lot. :dubious: same thing with Kamara. Only he got less dog crap when he came here.

Zusi has played better than last year in the deeper midfield role with Benny also on the field. Igor starting, I know a lot of people wanted to see Kevin Ellis there after the last game. All in all I like the lineup. I'm pumped to see Baby Kemp in the net.

Just watching the game now.  Why are goalies allowed to initiate such hard contact after players have already established position?  Around the 50th min, Dom has position, jumps in air, goalie not there yet, then goalie rams into dom, hooks his head, and pulls the side of doms head down and to the left after he doesn't even contact the ball.  Seemed extremely excessice considering he wasn't even in position until after dom jumped straight up.  what's the deal with that?

Goalies are just super protected and it has evolved to them being basically untouchable which has evolved to letting them get super physical without getting fouls called, especially when the ball is in the air.

It's kinda like the QB thing in football. You have to protect them some, but it's almost out of hand and some abuse the system a little too much.

This is a really great itk soccer post.

Also, at the dinner table tonight, toddler dobber told us a story where "I kicked the ball really hard and I scored a goal and I got a trophy."

Lastly, dobberjr had three goals over the weekend in two friendlies. Nothing too exciting other than a shot just off frame from mid field that would have been really sweet had it gone in. He had another goal similar to one last spring where he broke the goalie down, dressed him in a clown suit, and then buried it in the back of the net.

Dobberette wants to be goalie. Not sure how this will turn out.

I'm now happy that I watched the game in Spanish.

However, it's very confusing because every shot on goal, the guy screamed "GOOOOOAAAALLLL".  I ran to the kitchen to get a drink, and I thought RE scored the go ahead in the last ten minutes.

I assume he was being nice to Besler because he kept saying "Cap(ee)tan Besler" or "Besler, el cap(ee)tan."

I'm curious about the Crew's rebrand too. I hope they keep their color scheme but agree their 3 person logo was so dated. Do they stay the Crew even? I'm just sick of all the blue variations in the league, I like their yellow a lot
Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: sunny_cat on August 22, 2014, 07:49:52 AM
Yeah they should stick with yellow. Makes them unique. I think they will stay the Crew.

Number I found for his current salary is $11.6m (7m pounds), so they'd likely have to offer him more than that unless the idea of MLS really excites him or he loves NYC. Seems like a stretch but it's possible. Manchester City definitely has the money to pay his salary.

Okay I'm back, I was only mildly mean, shouldn't really pick on the crippled.

The match was crap and I don't want to talk about it, other than I loved how physical it was. Anyway other stuff.

WTF MLS, give both broadcasts. Every other league has this figured out, it is absurd that people in their team's broadcast footprint have to see another team's broadcast. Stupid.

Jay Heaps is a colossal tool, I hate him. At halftime he said "it felt like we were playing against 14." I don't think I've ever seen a coach cry to the referees as much as he does, in any sport.

That accident wasn't nice to Davies, he used to be sexy, he's now a mutant. Mean, I know, it's just an observation.

That old. wrinkled, cracked up cover they have for the wall around the field is the perfect symbol for how the owners feel about that franchise. It's just completely embarrassing.

Lee Nguyen is awesome, Bieler should never see the field again

The NER analyst was good, I liked him; hated the play by play guy.

At the end of the broadcast there is a graphic that comes on the screen that says "A Craft Production" with a logo that features a pink tie. WTF?

FWIW I think Sacramento is the perfect community for the MLS to work in, those people will be so happy to have another pro sports franchise and they will own it like they do with the Kings.

I'm not sold on Las Vegas as a pro sports city, I think it would be Miami west. There's so much to do, and frankly I have family in Vegas, I know it well, and I don't get an overwhelming sense of civic pride there. I really think they wouldn't care. Not to mention the obvious weather issues with playing an endurance sport there.

I'd like to think the sellout streak is safe, but there seem to be quite a few tickets available for the upcoming games.

Highly speculative rumor: SKC has offered Bieler to Columbus for top allocation spot in an attempt the get Kei. Source is a friend in the Columbus area so I am putting no stock in it.

Would probably take depending on the kind of salary we would give Kei. Makes sense in the sense that Columbus desperately needs a striker. :dunno:

i wish we could keep dom around - personally (and unpopularly), i prefer him to bieler. dunno that i'd consider kei a true "goal scorer" - to me his real value is ability to effectively hold up play and link up.  absolutely love him and his style to death, but he just marshal henderson'd shots when he didn't get any support.  i agree that soony is underrated and hope for good things from him

seems like a long time ago

That's what I was thinking too, my question is when does the order reset? If it resets as soon as the season is over there's probably not much chance of many other options coming available.

I've loved following SKC, but my only criticism is the #MLS season is too long. It cuts into so many other sports and it's hard to follow at times. I don't think our local media does a good job of advertising the games either. Other than that, #1SKC!

I like it being long because usually when the Royals/Chiefs are super sucky, I still have a stud soccer team to watch alongside my Cat Football team.

the biggest problem for an MLS is the fact the game times arent at the same time everyweek, sometimes its Saturday, sometimes its friday night, other times its sunday. Confusing. i heard the new TV deal will change that tho.

JFC that just means they are probably going to get to to an expansion draft when they come back. This is mumped up. Great for whoever buys the club currently known as Chivas USA, and their fans, and probably the league's bottom line, but fucks the rest of the MLS clubs, and fans in the ass.

Did not realize that. Also wouldn't that mean there would be yet another expansion draft when Chivas TBD comes back? :Yuck: When is Atlanta coming? 2017? So if Chivas came in 2016, they'd be coming in alone, right?

If you're into MLS, then Live is one of the best streaming media investments you can make.

The fact that they have highlights, condensed, and full match replays so soon after match end is amazing.

Would take any deal that gets Bieler out of here, but how would that all work? If SKC has to pay part of the salary does he count as a SKC DP still or would we be free to use that spot again?

Meh. Comes off as a whiny cry baby.

Also, just not that good himself.


On the other hand, I really like the level of honesty the clubs and teams have with respect to the perceived quality of officiating.

No NFL, NBA, or MLB team would consider posting such a scathing video.

It's for a color for each team.  Below is the picture of the crest as it'll appear in relation to each MLS club. 

(http://static.mlsdigital.net/next/MLS_crest_club_colors.png)

Here's the breakdown of the first image:

WORDMARK: MLS stands for Major League Soccer.

SLASH: The slash refers to soccer’s speed and energy. The slash begins outside the perimeter and drives upward at a 45-degree angle to illustrate both the nonstop nature of our game and the rising trajectory of our league. It bisects the crest to create a “first half” and “second half.”

STARS: The three stars represent the pillars of our brand: For Club, For Country, For Community.

PERIMETER: The perimeter represents the lines that mark off the field of play.

FIRST HALF AND SECOND HALF: The first half contains MLS and the three stars. The second half is an open white space that brings you in and out of the MLS world.

Indeed.  Decisions had to be made, and I am trying to pawn off my Sporting tickets too.

That said, my blood pressure may be much more tolerable at the Sporting game.  My wife may also like me more because I'll be less pissy during it vs the EMAW game.

Serious question that will get me banned if that was possible:

Has Zusi plateaued??

Also, 2-0 on excellent PK by Taca!

No and if you think that you don't appreciate what he brings that isn't on a stat sheet.

I'm not saying he's not great (MLS standards), but do you think he will get better going forward?

I think he is in the prime of his career and could play and be effective in Europe and he may still have more to offer going forward

We'll for sure buy him. And he'll get better at defending. But right now, he rough ridin' sucks, and anyone who doesn't realize that only pays attention to him being flashy going forward and doesn't pay attention to what he's out there to do: defend. His cross completion numbers are terrible compared to Myers.

Reasonably serious question, who has a better chance of winning it's respective Champions League? Arsenal or Sporting?

Orlando City wins the draw, and will pick first in MLS Expansion Draft. NYC FC with an interesting choice next. Top Allocation or MLS Draft?

Ives Galarcep @SoccerByIves  ·  23m
NYCFC grabs the top Allocation Ranking spot. Don’t think Orlando City will mind that pick. Start the Jozy Altidore to NYCFC rumors. #Kidding

Ives Galarcep @SoccerByIves  ·  22m
Orlando City selects the top pick in #MLS Draft. Interesting tidbit: Adrian Heath was at UConn’s game vs. St. John’s. Cyle Larin to OCSC?

Ives Galarcep @SoccerByIves  ·  20m
NYCFC takes Discovery Ranking, apparently accidentally. Jason Kreis read the list wrong. Will he get a do-over?

Ives Galarcep @SoccerByIves  ·  19m
MLS official Todd Durbin rules that NYC FC has to keep the Discovery ranking, allows Orlando City to snag priority for NASL-USL Pro picks

Jason Kreis is a rough ridin' moron.

I feel like everyone should know what "Expansion Draft," "SuperDraft," and "Allocation Ranking" means or you're Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). After that I can see not knowing. I'd hope people know what the Re-entry draft and Lottery are.

A big thing about our fanbase is 99% of us only care about the players on our roster and that's it. The knowledge about the league is limited. Knowledge about other teams is bad too.

Not pointing fingers at you CNS. Just making an observation.

Post by: CNS on September 24, 2014, 02:55:04 PM
I really enjoy watching Sporting and made a somewhat recent discovery in my enjoyment of the sport.  After a certain point in life, you don't have the time to pick up an entire new league/sport/etc and follow extremely in depth.  Especially if you already follow multiple others and have kids/biz/etc. 

I mean, it's whatevs, but I simply pick up what I can where/when I can, whether that be in games or looking over a post or two that catches my eye.  I would assume I am not the exception.  I am letting it come to me slowly rather than due diligence by diving in.


Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: CNS on September 24, 2014, 02:57:20 PM
Also, I understand the expansion draft premise, but not necessarily all the repercussions of it's process.

As for the super draft, I assume that is simply like any other league's draft and that it is Super!

As for the Allocation Ranking, I assume it tells you when to draft based on other crap, but am only guessing and don't really care to look it up.
Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: sunny_cat on September 24, 2014, 03:03:21 PM
Allocation ranking is a stupid part of the league. If no one holds a player's "rights" and is coming into the league, he'll go to whoever holds the #1 allocation spot. This doesn't always apply but generally it does. It would if Kamara comes back to the league.

You forgot the part that really makes it stupid. At some point (that seems completely arbitrary) the player doesn't go through allocation and simply to whoever pays the most/the league decides to give them to (generally a "large market" team)

 mls is weird AF.  basically if one of our world cup players (or any former mls player) wants to play in mls, they're in a special "draft class" and the new franchises / suckiest teams get first dibs to sign these bros.

but they always just end up making up the rules when it's someone actually good.  two teams recently wanted one of our american heroes so they flipped a coin to see who got him :lol:

move to the Western Conference. Right now, there are 9 in the West and 10 in the East. Next season, 1 is leaving the West (Chivas), and 2 are joining the East (Orlando and NYC). That puts it at 12 in the East and 8 in the West. Therfore, the two western-most teams will change conferences (Houston and KC).

They should have done this the second NYCFC was even murmured about. They absolutely have no shot at getting a single fan off of the island and into New Jersey. Not that they had the attention of NYC before but they certainly don't now. The hardest hit they will take is from soccer burbs in Westchester and Connecticut. I don't know about on the field but NYCFC is going to absolutely destroy them everywhere else.

I don't like that comparo considering if Sams was our QB right now, we'd be undefeated on our way to a natty

 I know was just trying to see what it felt like to be Wacky, I didnt like it.

Same. I like him and appreciate what he did while he was here (lead the team in scoring on a team that couldn't score goals).

In all seriousness, Kei was at his best when CJ was on the field which he no longer is. If somehow both Dom and Bieler are gone in January, I'd have taken Kei.

Guys, I have not been a soccer fan for more than a couple years.  However I was at the Cup game last season and had the absolute fortune to make a lot of Kei's games.  I don't remember a bigger cheer than when he came back from England that one time and subbed into the game.  crap went crazy. 

I mean the penalty kick thing for the cup was pretty badass, too, but I don't remember any heart shaped hands then.   :dunno:

This is probably just one of those soccer subtleties thing that I am not recognizing, though.

If you're being fair this could and should be construed as whining.

“I've always been in form. In reality, I don't know why I haven't been playing,” he told reporters through a translator. “I try to take advantage of the minutes that the coach allows me. I think that starting four matches in this season isn't good for me. But during the week, I work hard day by day, and I try to make sure that the coach knows that I'm available and ready to go.”

Have been talking with STM friend about new jerseys/kits/shirts this morning. We're due for a new primary in Februaryish (state line came out Feb '13). After that, a third in Aprilish (argyle came out Apr '13).

I have heard (don't remember where from - Robb maybe?) they're looking into doing checkers and a throw back of some sort (I assume rainbow). I'm thinking the primary is checkers and the third is rainbow.

(http://www.kccauldron.com/images/supporters-groups/images/cauldronboys.jpg)

Assuming the checkers are sporting blue and indigo (not gross blue and white).

(http://www.oldfootballshirts.com/img/shirts/429/kansas-city-wizards-home-football-shirt-1997-1998-s_2020_1.jpg)

or maybe

(http://i.imgur.com/7bX4DIC.jpg)

:dunno: They could work with either.

How lucky are we to have such a great ownership who does so many studly/innovative things all the time?

Our jerseys are on a two year cycle it is well known. The primary will be mainly sporting blue, doubt it is checkered. The new 3rd kit is going to be a black base with rainbow sash or maybe even argyle.

Doubt it will be checkered because that isn't enough sporting blue. My guess is that will be the next secondary. Also with the 3rd kit I shouldn't act like I know what will happen, just guessing, but the club identifies itself a lot with the argyle design so that's why I think they could possibly go back to the well again.

There is no rule that says the primary has to be mostly sporting blue. We do what we want (see the secondary kit that basically doesn't differ in color from the primary color wise). It may just be a portion of checkered instead of the entire thing.

Also, we identify with argyle because that is our current third kit. We are going to keep trying new things (impression I've gotten from interviews I've heard).

They are still trying to build the brand, they want to make sure everyone identifies that color with the club. I will bet you any amount of money you or anyone wants that the primary kit is mainly sporting blue.

I'm #team42 pretty hard you guys (once the playoffs come around). Good chance we finish with more points. If Dallas puts together a run, we could host them in the MLS Cup final. :emawkid:

Also, STM playoff package goes on sale tomorrow. :Woot: Getting worried the games may conflict with Cat Football. :ohno:

If we end up as the 3rd seed, the first leg will be either Sat Nov 1 (Okie State) or Sun Nov 2. If we advance and DC gets upset, our home game against NY or Columbus would be the second leg on Sat Nov 29 (KU) or Sun Nov 30.

Not that it matters to us, but since FCD just beat LAG, LA and Seattle are now tied at 60 points both with 2 games to go (both against each other - a home and home). Seattle has 19 wins. LA only 17, so LA will need 4 points or more from the two games to grab the 1 seed and Supporter's Shield. Otherwise, it's Seattle's.

Brian Straus ?@BrianStraus  20s20 seconds ago
Matt Besler was walking very, very gingerly after leaving the US locker room. Almost surely a hamstring.

@TheBackpost: Collin practice and is possible. Andy G injured in practice and now questionable also

As long as Kronberg is healthy, we don't need Andy. Collin possibly coming back is huge. If we get Bes by playoff time, we're good. We can draw or beat NY without him to most likely stay in third place depending on the Philly result.

Caring more about national team than the MLS and using that as a basis for being dismissive of the MLS is a horribly stupid talking point. Offense meant.

We cannot have a strong national team without a strong domestic league, it literally isn't possible. It is no coincidence the best team we've fielded had the most MLS players. If you care about US Soccer you should be firmly on team eff European leagues. England, Spain, and Italy will absolutely not give American players a fair shot for the most part; Germany and the Netherlands are much more fair to American players.

Well it's possible we play on Sundays every time and it won't conflict. I'll do some research though. Pretty sure if we play DC United in the conference finals, it falls on a football weekend. We'd need it to be the Sunday.

(I only put Eastern Conference info. Lower seed hosts first leg and higher hosts second just like years past.)

Wild Card Round

Eastern Conference

E4. vs. E5.: Wednesday, October 29 or Thursday, October 30 at higher seed

Conference Semifinals

E1. vs. E4. or E5.

First leg: Saturday, November 1 (OSU) or Sunday, November 2 at lower seed
Second leg: Saturday, November 8 or Sunday, November 9 at higher seed

E2. vs. E3

First leg: Saturday, November 1 (OSU) or Sunday, November 2 at lower seed
Second leg: Saturday, November 8 or Sunday, November 9 at higher seed

We need to get the 2 seed for this (1 is unattainable). Otherwise, we're putting it at 50/50 chance and have to hope for Sunday, November 2.

Conference Finals

Eastern Conference

First leg: Saturday, November 22 or Sunday, November 23 at lower seed
Second leg: Saturday, November 29 (KU) or Sunday, November 30 at higher seed

I was wrong in my previous post. If DC gets upset, then we're looking at a 50/50 chance again that our home leg is on November 29. If we play DC, we're good.

MLS Cup Final

TBA vs. TBA at higher seed: Sunday, December 7, 2:00 p.m. (ESPN, UniMás, TSN or TSN2, RDS or RDS2)

http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/thegoalkeeper/2014-MLS-Cup-Playoffs-schedule.html#GHFTasQTJhcvk84h.99







Basically, hope for the 2 seed and to play DC. Otherwise, we have to rely on MLS schedulers.

how could you not be worried?

in the last 13 games, SKC is 3-7-3, with the 3 wins coming against Toronto, Chicago, and Chivas

so the last time we beat a team that will make the playoffs is July 19. I don't get the super positivity

13 games is not a hiccup or a fluke. that is the last third of the rough ridin' season. what makes you think we'll storm through the playoffs? as sunny or scott (don't remember which) pointed out, the East is better than previous years

Post by: sunny_cat on October 19, 2014, 11:33:59 AM
We are the third best team in the East. NY and Columbus don't scare me. NE and DC do but anything can happen in the playoffs.

Andy; Seth, Besler, Collin, Igor; Claros, Naga, Benny; Zusi, Dom, JP is going to lead us to the Conf Finals. If we get healthy, we will be fine.

Beat NY and we're guaranteed 3rd seed.

nah, we won the Cup last year, I'm not worried at all. I was pretty chill last football season if you recall following the 'cats Dr. Pepper, just like i will be pretty chill after the Royals win the WS.

I will never ever every in a gazillion years cheer for a team with Robbie Keane on it, I could give two shits how douchy Sounders fans are. Keane very well may be the worst person in the world. Did any of you see when he was subbed out tonight, he refused to go to midfield he just stepped off and yelled at whomever subbed for him to "get in!" It's guaranteed that they all hate his guts.

Member of the cauldron. If you pay the cauldron 20 bucks, you get access to a limited number of very cheap tickets the club gives them. MS = Members Stand which is what the cauldron seats are called.

It's an unwritten rule that it's not cool at all to sell these tickets higher than face value.

Yeah. Keane winning the MVP is bad for the league, much worse than whatever stupid crap Jürgen rants on. A very unlikable, washed up Euro, in a city that barely cares. Thankfully there are plenty of marketable stars and we can all ignore this and him, which is a definite.

BWP winning it would also be bad. He was basically always a Football League One player in England and comes here and scores 25 goals (granted Henry is the reason why)

i think his stats/longevity run counterpoint to the "washed up" angle.  yes, he's getting long in the tooth, but i do agree that there are several deserving/exciting/relatively "mls-bred" options and it's continuing to trend that way.  (not that oba is particularly one of these either, as much as i love to watch him)

He's clearly driving the Galaxy :barf: but he's here because he was considered washed up years ago. He very clearly doesn't enjoy it. A part of me actually hope he wins just to see how he would disrespect the award and/or the league. Strikes me as a guy who'd say something dickish accepting the award.

I've assumed this for awhile. It seems like they feel both keepers are about equal and are growing comfortable with Kempin as a backup now. Seems pretty logical to expose both and if one gets taken the other is who we add to the protected list.

Game on Thursday is going to be very tough. Saprissa is not an easy place to play and MLS teams almost never get points from there.

Right now, DC and Montreal are through. If we don't lose by 2 or more, we're also through with a seed of 7 or better. DC has a top 3 seed guaranteed. Likely will be 2 on GD after Pachuca takes their final game.

With Uri, Myers, and Opara, this team wins it all. Problem is, we don't have them so that's kinda why we suck ass at soccer.

Next season we will be contender again even in the West. Claros will have Roger to play off of, and Ike and Chance will be healthy. Idk who we'll lose due to expansion but I'm not going to speculate yet.

My insider (kind of) guy says Collin and Sporting have made almost no progress with contact negotiations. Pretty sure I posted that before.

:frown:

Can an article interesting and filled with nonsense all at the same time? First things first, stuff like this always happens to Toronto, there is absolutely a reason for that. I'm confused about how the author said several times that they did their homework but then he posts several stories about issues with Defoe's mother. And about that, why are they using this lady as a scapegoat for the actions of grown men? All these stories of her brokering back channel deals are complete crap. She isn't making QPR interested in Defoe, what kind of stupid crap is that? "Yeah, we didn't care about Jermain, we thought he was washed up, but we'll spend millions of dollars on him because his mommy wants us to? Get the eff outta here. His mother has eff all to do with any of this, if teams want him they can contact him, his mom, his agent, his attorney, his boys, why the eff does it matter if his mom is the principal contact? Like I said before she isn't making these clubs throw money at her son.

Bottom line is that he doesn't want to be in Toronto and who the hell can blame him? He chased dollars but the fact is that Toronto is a second rate franchise, with a second rate front office, in a second rate MLS city, playing in a 3rd world stadium. He thought he could take the money and swallow hard, it didn't work and they were fools for thinking that it would. They gambled and lost, shameful of MLSE to blame his mother. For the record MLSE are complete and total eff ups with every sports franchise they touch. Throwing stupid money at everything without critical thinking is just as stupid as not spending money and tanking, maybe even more dumb.

True. I was asking somewhat seriously though. SKC attracted a significant portion of their fan base because it was the new, cool thing. Wondered if they had lost some of that group as they scuffle through the end of their season and the Royals go through the playoffs?

Nah, not really. I mean, a lot of attention has been diverted to the Royals for the time being, and we love that they're good (except super butthurt Sporting fans who think soccer is the only important sport). I've still gone to every game possible and will be attending the game tomorrow night as well. The stadium is still full. Was full during the Orioles game that conflicted and will be full tomorrow.

Woah, saying goodbye before the season is over, he certainly hasn't mailed it in so I won't crush him for it.

If we keep Bieler I just may BiD, I don't even want him as a non DP, he has provided nothing. Dom's emergence can't be blamed for Claudio's lack of production, the guy was benched during the playoffs.

Thankfully the mls does not force the fans to buy playoff tickets before there are actually games scheduled, unlike other leagues. I hope that never changes.

On last night's broadcast Twellman mentioned that we need to focus making our league a premier league in our region before we assess our place in the world. He says we start by not getting dominated in the ccl and this starts by removing the salary cap.

Yea, soccer is one sport where the salary cap hurts the league not helps it, especially on the level worldwide that MLS is. SKC could absolutely stay competative without it.

The league also needs to get rid of at least a few of its drafts. Having an entry draft, expansion draft, dispersal draft, etc is beyond dumb in a league that should be rewarding teams for their player development. Also need to either make all players follow allocation order or do away with it all together.
Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: sunny_cat on October 27, 2014, 03:40:19 PM
Meh. All those drafts are what comes with an expanding league. No avoiding it. I agree allocation order should be done away with or always apply.

They actually do protect the player development that is most important when improving the national team because homegrown players are automatically protected.

Caleb Calvert (HGP) (18)

Players I would consider drafting:

GK - Kennedy - if we lose either Gruenebaum or Kronberg
CB - Jean-Baptiste - if we lose Collin; very young, huge upside
CB - Hurtado - ONLY if we lose Collin AND AJB not available
AM - Delgado - Feilhaber and Medranda are our only attacking midfielders unless you count Zusi; very young, huge upside
AM - McNamara - see above; also could play winger
DM - Sturgis - to be defensive mid depth; can play fullback
ST - Finley - we're going to need strikers; Bieler and/or Dwyer are gone
ST - Calvert - see above; very young, huge upside
AM - Avila - not sure what he would play in our system; winger or attacking mid; doesn't seem to be a great fit; can play fullback
AM - Chávez - decent winger; may have good chemistry with Espinoza/Claros from Honduras :dunno:

Jean-Batiste was the only guy who was on my radar besides Torres, but I am not as deep into the MLS. But AJB has a super bright future in front of him and I want him.

Kennedy is a top half of the league keeper (Andy and Eric aren't). Hurtado is a solid center back whose play style is very similar to Collin's. Delgado is a young stud homegrown who has some USYNT caps. McNamara was the front runner for rookie of the year until he tore his ACL a few months into the season. Sturgis is just a decent player. Finley would just be striker depth behind Cubo or Dom or whatever. Calvert could be great in a few years. Avila isn't a great player, but he's serviceable. Chávez is kinda fast and from Honduras. Possible we lose either Saad or Sapong to the expansion draft.

Talk salary cap with me.  How does it help the league to allow free spending?  I'm assuming we could see a quick movement of players for high money to a few teams. I kinda like the designated player rule, maybe expand that?

It wouldn't. It would allow more big names to be lured over in the prime of their careers to a very small select group of teams but it would hurt the development of young homegrown talent.

Baseball is the only sport without any sort of cap and there has never ever been a baseball team that has spent their way to success. As a matter of fact baseball has the most parity of any North American league and it is because of the attention paid to developmental talent.

"i watch this sport called soccer on this field called a pitch where a bunch of people play keep away with each other like third graders and sometimes run around long enough where the other team gets board because they are sick of playing keep away and theres like maybe 1 shot on the goal and its probably blocked by the only guy who can use his hands and then the games ends 0-0"

Yeah of course a few clubs will overpay for talent, that's happening now without a cap. That's one of the false flags of leagues with a salary cap, even with a cap there is a wide disparity of what teams spend. Toronto spent out of their asses and what do they have to show for it? At this point the cap is limiting the growth of the league because there is essentially a cap on how much high level talent the league can acquire. The point of Twellman bringing it up is that we can't even compete with teams from Costa Rica because they spend more money on players.

I also think that the cap hampers player development. If teams can acquire similar talent by spending similar money there really isn't the same motivation to develop your own controllable talent. As I said in the previous message look at the best teams in the best leagues in any sport all around the world and the thing they have in common is not spending money like a drunken 40 year old virgin in a strip club, but it is superior player development.

Mark Geiger had a pretty uneven match last night but that hand ball absolutely should have been called. The ball undoubtedly hit his arm in the box and it likely took away a scoring opportunity. I mean if you don't call that one are we only limiting calling hand balls to catching the ball and running with it like you're Darren Sproles?

Mark Geiger had a pretty uneven match last night but that hand ball absolutely should have been called. The ball undoubtedly hit his arm in the box and it likely took away a scoring opportunity. I mean if you don't call that one are we only limiting calling hand balls to catching the ball and running with it like you're Darren Sproles?
Not sure how you arrived to that conclusion based on the rule book.
"handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own
penalty area)" and that is usually interpreted to mean unnatural motions by the arm towards the ball are "intentional", ie, not trying to pin your arm behind your back or it being in a natural hanging position.

Talk salary cap with me.  How does it help the league to allow free spending?

It wouldn't. It would allow more big names to be lured over in the prime of their careers to a very small select group of teams but it would hurt the development of young homegrown talent.

First of all, this is speculative opinion with no basis of fact. I'm wondering how you figure this would hurt the development of homegrown talent? My opinion doesn't match yours. My opinion is also speculative but I'm using non capped soccer leagues around the world and other non capped American sports leagues.

Baseball is the only sport without any sort of cap and there has never ever been a baseball team that has spent their way to success. As a matter of fact baseball has the most parity of any North American league and it is because of the attention paid to developmental talent.
I guess the real issue is whether or not we believe the league is strong enough to function without a cap.  My understand was that the cap also had a strong motive to prevent fratricide between member teams instead of limiting the amount of money the teams can use to attract talent as its being looked at now.  I'm really worried that an uncapped league will result in a few teams over paying for American talent and a large swath of the league becoming feeder clubs (royals in the late 90s early 00s) or folding entirely because they can't afford what talent the MLS has.  I guess the entire paradigm has to be shaped by the way we see the strength of the league to absorb a few outliers who can pay a lot for talent, but still allow competition.

Yeah of course a few clubs will overpay for talent, that's happening now without a cap. That's one of the false flags of leagues with a salary cap, even with a cap there is a wide disparity of what teams spend. Toronto spent out of their asses and what do they have to show for it? At this point the cap is limiting the growth of the league because there is essentially a cap on how much high level talent the league can acquire. The point of Twellman bringing it up is that we can't even compete with teams from Costa Rica because they spend more money on players.

I also think that the cap hampers player development. If teams can acquire similar talent by spending similar money there really isn't the same motivation to develop your own controllable talent. As I said in the previous message look at the best teams in the best leagues in any sport all around the world and the thing they have in common is not spending money like a drunken 40 year old virgin in a strip club, but it is superior player development.
So do you disagree that the league needed the cap in its early years to protect clubs from killing so called "smaller market" clubs?  If the MLS is truly able to pay more for players while retaining some parity, especially competing against international clubs, than I think most would be in favor of a larger cap or flexible cap.  I'm curious to see how you think the NFL is working so well with its hard cap?  Sure each team has to be responsible with any monies they have, whether it be Toronto in MLS or NYY in MLB the last few years (Lakers with Kobe's contract too).  But I'm looking at the overall health of the league.  You raise a valid point that it could help player development if clubs don't have their kids being poached by other teams/leagues.

MLS needed a cap in the early days when it was a new league trying to get a foothold in a region that already has 4 major professional sports. Now that it has started to establish itself and develop into a higher quality league the cap is hindering that development. I don't think you just rip the cap off like a band-aid but it needs to be raised significantly in the short-term or have the DP program expanded. Of course a few teams would far outspend the others, but clubs like SKC that have a history of discovering and developing talent combined with the ability to spend at least league average would thrive as well.

IMO, 2 things need to be done if the league goes uncapped. 1) Continue to limit the number of international slots. The best thing for the league is continuing to develop American talent and that won't happen if teams just load up on European and Latin American players. 2) Require more homegrown development. Something like requiring a specific number of homegrown players on the roster would encourage teams to spend on development academies and force even the big spenders to try and develop talent.

Not sure how you arrived to that conclusion based on the rule book.
"handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own
penalty area)" and that is usually interpreted to mean unnatural motions by the arm towards the ball are "intentional", ie, not trying to pin your arm behind your back or it being in a natural hanging position.

The rule book doesn't really matter since it leaves room for judgment. He deliberately attempted to play the ball with his chest and he handled the ball in doing so, I'm not sure how you can parse his intent outside of that. He undoubtedly attempted to play that ball, he is a professional athlete that should be responsible for what his body does when he tries to play that ball. That judgment interpretation is intended to not penalize a player that had a ball hit his hand or arm while not directly involved in playing the ball, obviously this wasn't the case here. He played the ball and while doing so his arm prevented the ball from going into a playable area for Dallas.

Quote from: Laws of the rough ridin' Game
Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm. The referee must take the following into consideration:

•    the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)
•    the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)
•    the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an infringement
•    touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard, etc.) counts as an infringement
•    hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard, etc.) counts as an infringement

Clearly not moving his hand (arm) towards the ball seeing as he's moving it away from the ball. Seemed to be pretty unexpected seeing as it hit the ground and hit him like half a second after. So how is it a handball? I don't give a eff about what's been called in the past. It's just not a handball.

Adrian Healey blamed Besler but it wasn't his fault at all, he went to cover the near post like he should have. Collin had the mark and when the ball went airborne he took a step off to cover far post thinking rough ridin' Kronberg would play the goddamn ball. When Kronberg didn't arrive Collin tried to recover but it was too late. eff Kronberg and I hope he enjoys being a back up in Orlando next year.

What's going on with Kempin? I admittedly don't know much about the development of keepers, but he has been out of youth development for 4 years and if he doesn't play next season that would be 3 in USL Pro, seems long, maybe I'm impatient. EPB plays a much more difficult position and his development hasn't nearly been this long.

He turns 22 a couple of weeks into the season next year. I'm not sure what his age has to do with how many years he needs to develop since he made his debut with the team at 19. He signed his contract 4 years ago. And if he doesn't play next year that will be 3 years in development after he already played for SKC.

Goes without saying that I love Benny, but we should be able to hold on to him without using a dp spot. Those shouldn't go to the best players on each team but league impact players.

LAFC is having an #AskLAFC session on the twitters right now. I'll report back if I see anything interesting I guess.

Stadium location can be anywhere in LA or Orange County.

They just confirmed that the name LAFC isn't final and they want fans' input (which was previously reported).

They plan to announce name and colors by the start of the 2015 season.

They don't seem to have any plans in place regarding an academy. Just say it's a priority.

Stadium size - mid 20k

Tonight might be Landon Donovan's last soccer game ever so tune in! 6:30 ct on ESPN2. First leg in SLC was 0-0, so LA does not have a road goal (away goal rule applies for the first time this year). LA needs a win or a 0-0 would force ET.

Quote from: translation
The SAD is awaiting a proposal from Sporting Kansas City by Nuno Reis, who was recently in testing in Major League Soccer, US. Club Lions maintain a relationship with the club, from which ensured last summer, the contraction the Spanish midfielder Oriol Rossel.

Dispersal Draft

Players I would consider drafting:

GK - Kennedy - if we lose either Gruenebaum or Kronberg
CB - Jean-Baptiste - if we lose Collin; very young, huge upside
CB - Hurtado - ONLY if we lose Collin AND AJB not available
AM - Delgado - Feilhaber and Medranda are our only attacking midfielders unless you count Zusi; very young, huge upside
AM - McNamara - see above; also could play winger
DM - Sturgis - to be defensive mid depth; can play fullback
ST - Finley - we're going to need strikers; Bieler and/or Dwyer are gone

ST - Calvert - see above; very young, huge upside
AM - Avila - not sure what he would play in our system; winger or attacking mid; doesn't seem to be a great fit; can play fullback
AM - Chávez - decent winger; may have good chemistry with Espinoza/Claros from Honduras :dunno:


Now that we have the 3 slot, there are only 5 I'd consider. Kennedy being my 1st choice, and either Delgado or AJB being 2nd. It feels good knowing we can get one of those 3. Also worth mentioning this draft takes place 9 days after the Expansion Draft.

than you're completely missing my point.  no one would argue that the MLS isn't a destination for premiere league's upper echelon once their clubs have moved on.  The issue I, and many others took, with his comments is that the MLS is mentioned in the same breath as a new start up league which doesn't have a fairly decent foundation and talent pool.

Not exactly "free agency" but closest thing MLS has to it. Waiver/Re-entry draft. Players draft in the dispersal draft would have to be taken at their current salaries which scared away all but 7 teams.

Re: expansion draft, must protect at least 3 internationals. According to Mike Kuhn (he's right 99% of the time), internationals are Bieler, Claros, Dovale, Juliao, Medranda, Steuble, and maybe Munoz.

I protect Claros, Dovale, and Juliao.

Protected:
Sinovic
Besler
Collin/Opara - I feel like Opara's injury might scare away the expansion teams
Myers
Juliao
Claros
Feilhaber
Zusi
Dwyer
Dovale
Saad/Zizzo

Collin/Opara
Duke
Gruenebaum

If the contract negotiations are at as bad of a stalemate as I've heard, might see Collin unprotected. Could see Andy G protected if we don't feel confident we're going to sign that Spanish keeper.

So this is a good start, apparently this is moving now because of Tom Menino's death, he was the extremely powerful mayor who didn't at all get along with the Krafts. It must be said though, this location is horrendous. You absolutely cannot find a worst place in Boston to build a stadium. It is very accessible to public transportation but there is no commerce around it at all and locals don't find that area desirable. Gross.

Kraft family looks to build soccer stadium in Boston
Site off I-93 considered as new home for Revolution

Globe Staff   November 18, 2014


90 Comments

Planning is quietly underway for construction of a soccer stadium in Boston, one that would bring the resurgent New England Revolution closer to their urban fan base, according to people familiar with the Kraft family’s search for a site.

Among the sites under consideration is a strip of city-owned land off Interstate 93 on Frontage Road, where Boston has a large yard for towed cars and public works. The South Boston property offers easy access from major highways and is near the MBTA’s Red Line as well as rail lines at nearby South Station.

Numerous sources said the Kraft family has been meeting with state and city officials to discuss the stadium and possible locations over the past several months, with the team focusing on Frontage Road. It was not known Monday what additional sites the Krafts were considering.

Through a spokesman, the Krafts on Monday said: “We are currently developing concepts for how a soccer stadium for the Revolution can benefit the greater Boston area. Once we have more developed plans, we will comment further.”

The Krafts, owners of the New England Patriots and the New England Revolution, have tried several times to build a stadium in Boston, first for the Patriots in the mid-1990s and again more recently for the Revolution.

The Revolution have acknowledged that playing in the cavernous Gillette Stadium, located well outside of Boston’s urban core, is not an ideal setting for soccer. In October, the Revolution’s president told the Globe that a preferred size for a new soccer stadium would seat 18,000 to 22,000 fans.

The Frontage Road location is adjacent to an industrial area that the group organizing Boston’s efforts to host the 2024 Summer Olympics had identified as a potential location for the main Olympics stadium. Kraft is also a member of the Olympics group.

Although some people familiar with the discussions said the Kraft proposal could conflict with the Olympic group’s efforts for the bigger stadium, others said there is enough room in the area to accommodate both facilities. The Olympic committee is focusing on a site on Widett Circle, just to the south of the city property, that hosts a collection of food wholesalers.

Kraft’s timing differs from the Boston Olympics group’s. One source said the sports mogul is pushing to have the soccer stadium in place within five years.

The city yard is also a candidate for a new homeless shelter to replace a facility on Long Island that was abruptly shuttered last month after the harbor bridge was condemned.

A spokeswoman for Mayor Martin J. Walsh would only say that any proposal for the city-owned site would be subject to a bidding process and reviews by public agencies.

Though the Krafts have previously explored building a soccer stadium in Somerville or Revere, the new push comes as soccer is enjoying renewed popularity locally and throughout the United States.

The Revolution spent $4.3 million earlier this season to sign Jermaine Jones, a star of the US men’s national team that advanced to the Round of 16 at the World Cup this summer in Brazil. The global soccer event drew record TV ratings in the United States, while Major League Soccer in May signed an eight-year, $720 million broadcast rights agreement with ESPN, Fox, and Univision, a fivefold increase over its previous deal.

Since signing Jones, the Revs have torn up the league, advancing deep into the playoffs; the team will play the New York Red Bulls this weekend in the semifinals.

The Revolution are among the few MLS teams not playing in a soccer-specific stadium. Many of the other stadiums are relatively small, intimate venues; the Revs, by comparison, are unable to fill a massive football stadium, despite logging their highest attendance this season in six years: 16,681 on average.

“I’ve been to other teams’ stadiums, and it just doesn’t compare,” said Michael Johnson, 43, a 15-year Revs season ticketholder from Milford. “I look at a place like Portland and I almost cry every time I see the support they get.”

Club officials have acknowledged the emptiness can be a put-off for fans, because being part of a rousing crowd in a packed house is one of the appeals of live sporting events.

In an interview with the Globe in October, Revolution president Brian Bilello said a smaller stadium would also allow the team to sell high-priced premium seats. Club sections at Gillette are so removed that they are not appealing, he said.

A city stadium would also bring the Revolution closer to the young urban fans who are driving the league’s growth. Four in 10 MLS fans are 34 or younger, according to Nielsen Media Research, compared with 24 percent of Major League Baseball fans.

“You’re targeting young professionals — the ones who grew up playing soccer and now want to watch, drink beer, and sing songs,” said Victor Matheson, a sports economist at College of the Holy Cross and a former MLS referee. “Those are the passionate fans you want.”

Kraft’s last major attempt to build a stadium in Boston fell apart amid heavy opposition from neighborhood residents and some of the city’s most powerful politicians, the fallout creating hard feelings on both sides.

The most recent talks date back to at least the past summer and have involved the possibility of adding light rail service to the site from South Station, said a source who was briefed on those plans.

Many details would need to be worked out before the project could go forward. Because the site is publicly owned, it would be subject to a bidding process as well as lengthy reviews by city and state regulators.

At this stage, it is unclear how the stadium would be financed and whether any public funding would be needed to support the project or its infrastructure.

After privately financing Gillette Stadium, the Krafts so far have not pledged to do the same for a soccer stadium, which probably would cost more than $100 million.

As for the Olympics, Boston was named one of four finalists by the United States Olympic Committee in June for a possible bid for the 2024 Games, along with Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.

The USOC is expected to decide in the next few months if it will submit a bid, and, if so, which US city it will advance into the global competition for the Games. The International Olympic Committee in 2017 will choose the host of the 2024 Olympics.

Saying what? That article says a lot. It isn't a secret that they have talked about building a stadium near I-93 for years. I may have laughed for a variety or reasons. The location they talked about before sucked, although better than this one. There were a lot of hurdles between them talking about building a stadium in Boston and it actually happening. The Kraft's actually spending money on the team when they never ever ever had before. And putting the stadium in the I-93 area instead of Lexington, Newton, or Metro West is stupid. The fact that they have discussed building a stadium in Boston isn't at all a new concept.

I don't remember what the text said exactly but whatever. I also know nothing about any of those places or I-93 cause I've never been to Boston.

Yeah they'd have to trade for his rights (like Magee for Rogers' rights deal), but I just said it doesn't matter cause I don't think he'll come back to MLS. He's 30 and declining.

PV talking to the media right now.

Lopez is in fact auto-protected (hasn't graduated from Generation Adidas yet). He joins Ellis, EPB, and Kempin.

Collin, Ellis, Saad and Peterson all were made bona fide offers so we'll keep their rights if they leave. (If I had to guess, all but Collin will re-sign.)

We exercised options on Kempin, Sapong, Opara, Dwyer and Sinovic.

PV is looking to bring in 2 keepers.

Sam McDowell: "Vermes said it's unlikely any of the six players whose options were declined will be back with the club but he didn't completely rule it out."

SM: When I asked Vermes if he was close to lining up a deal for a GK, he responded, "Getting there. Getting closer." (There's the Spanish keeper I've been talking about.)

SM: Vermes expects Ike Opara to be ready for the start of preseason. He called Chance Myers' rehab "more of a progression."

SM: Vermes said there have been talks with Collin since the end of the season, but "I'm not saying it's always good."

SM: I asked Vermes if he expected to have Claudio Bieler back next season. He replied, "As of right now, I do."

Tate Steinlage: According to Vermes, Olum wanted to leave. “If you don’t want to be here, I don’t want you here.” #SportingKC

TS: Vermes on Espinoza: “We’re still both activity seeking an opportunity. Worst case scenario would be he comes back in June.” #SportingKC (If I had to guess, it'll be June since he keeps talking about only pursuing him on a free.)

It's all salary-cap related. Their options were declined meaning PV doesn't think they are worth what they are making - he's right. There is going to be a lot of roster turnover over the offseason. We already knew this.

That's because they are not in the same boat, not even close. Seattle needs a SSS but waterfront Seattle with 47,000 fans a game is completely different from rough ridin' Foxboro, Massachusetts with 16,000 fans a game. Seattle's stadium situation is a matter of esthetics and what playing in football stadium with fieldturf says about soccer in Seattle. New England has to improve their situation for the health and stability of the franchise.

Rumor from a reliable source: MacMath to SKC, CJ Sapong to Philly.

 :surprised:

Would probably take. Doesn't make a bunch of sense already having a good young keeper in Kempin. MacMath is #1 caliber already though.

So far, Collin to Orlando for allocation money and Sapong to Philly for a first round draft pick. Sam MacDowell also says we're getting Bernardo Anor from Columbus for allocation money.

It'll either be they agreed not to take any of our players or to trade us one of the players they draft I'm guessing.

Per source, Orlando City will ship its third pick, Jalil Anibaba to Sporting Kansas City as part of the Aurelien Collin deal.

Player with lots of versatility. Can play center back and right back pretty well. PV loves versatility.

Easy to c reaction on my feed. Cal was great for skc and captured some of our greatest moments with incredible skill.  What we want in that role is someone that will be here for the very long term and, like cal, build a strong relationship w our fans. Understandably Cal has other career aspirations which doesn't come as a huge surprise. Unfortunately sometimes things just don't match up,  but we wish Cal a great career, and he will always have a prominent place in skc lore.

I really, truly don't care. It was just an extension of my extremely minority view that Cal wasn't that great and that some people really like British announcers, even if they're not great but have a lot a zeal.

Im really a laissez-faire kind of guy. Do what you want.

And hate me for my Cal stance as you see fit.

copperbowl, your argument, sound though it is, has one minor flaw: Cal is very good, and it has nothing to do with him being English

i'm not sure if i should feel bad, but i typically don't pay attention to or care about announcers in sports unless they're completely awful.  like, i could watch a football game and not be able to tell you the next day if it was musberger, herbstreit, etc.  there has to be something pretty awful/noteworthy for me to notice.

i guess other people care, so i should hope for someone not sucky/embarrassing but that's about the extent of it for me

Marin does look good, but this tweet leads me to believe he either isn't coming or won't be the starter. 6 has to be Sinovic, Besler, Zusi, Feilhaber, Dwyer, and Opara (or Nagamura). Right? :dunno:

I see you crossed out Opara but PV has already said he's healthy and should start the season. Also the question asked for his guess, not a guarantee, so if he really thought more than 6 would start game 1, he would have said that.

Well, it's all conjecture anyway, but 6 is a convenient number that includes everyone who had a starting role in 2014 is all I'm saying.  Tell you what - let's just keep asking the question with different starting 11's and see what the different answers indicate.

Then likely MLS after. MLS paid a transfer fee. Basically, we are loaning him back to Guadalajara for six months.

Igor is a gray area right now. Opara is staying and is allegedly healthy. We'll have plenty of signings to replace all those guys. Only one who was consistently a factor was Collin and he was terrible last year by his standards.

Just to be clear - put me in #CampOptimistic.

I hate losing players I really like . . . but have to be honest that they are replaceable. In a way, it feels like we just went through a therapeutic cleansing.

I think we'll kick ass next year and will continue to think that until proven otherwise.

Cubo to play with Chivas for the next six months.

Then likely MLS after. MLS paid a transfer fee. Basically, we are loaning him back to Guadalajara for six months.

Tom Marshall ?@mexicoworldcup  6s6 seconds ago
Only confirmed Cubo Torres info is that he will play for Chivas for next 6 months. After that, nothing has yet been 100% confirmed.

Official: MLS has taken up the option on Erick "Cubo" Torres. Part of deal includes a six-month loan to Chivas.

The thing about Sporting is that we lose a bunch of games all the time, but are always in the conversation and sometimes even win entire leagues or tournaments. Camp Optimistic is the only way to do any Sporting season in my imo.

(remember that year we played our first bazillion games on the road because of our stadium and then came roaring back with all of those home games?  :excited:)

now: "the whole team sucked except Collin who also sucked, so we'll be better"

i don't think Soony or Collin knows what suck even means. i'm fine with CJ leaving, i liked Olum, the other guys seem replaceable i guess

I'm as big of a Collin fan as anyone on this blog but he had his worst season in KC last year. Hard to deny that. Also a Larry fan, but he struggled as a full time replacement for Uri. Soony was great when he was on the field, but how often was that? CJ is a stud but didn't fit in no matter how much I tried to convince myself he did. Glad the GKs are gone. They either sucked or couldn't stay healthy. Zizzo and the people who never played are very replaceable.

mocat, much of the optimism is from the way it appears the team is being put back together. Last year's team was still a good team, but injuries and exhaustion just ground the team down. I mentioned it before but Dom, Benny, Zus, Besler, and Seth is a solid enough core that the team is going to be in contention no matter who is surrounding them. Now it sounds like Opara is getting back healthy, Espinoza is expected to return, and Robb made it sound like we have a new DP on the way (at least one).
Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: sunny_cat on December 18, 2014, 01:05:24 PM
We were overly optimistic last season. It was unrealistic to be contenders with all the injuries and fatigue. Minus the injuries/WC, we would have played in the conf finals.
Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: MakeItRain on December 18, 2014, 01:08:56 PM
The center of this team had to the best league; Paulo, Jorge, Benny, and Dom playing in front of Besler is amazing. Not to mention Zusi out right. This team was damaged and tired at the end of the year. They played well going into the world cup break and never recovered. The core of this team is still highly talented.

I heard Besler on an interview on 810 last week and he essentially said that his partnership with Colin had run its course.
Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: sunny_cat on December 18, 2014, 01:15:49 PM
Also have probably the best left back in MLS and one of the best right backs who fits the system perfectly (assuming Myers is ever the same again). And a coach who has won 2 trophies in the last 3 seasons.

Also, next year, no CCL which I'm actually happy about. CCL has a habit of ruining teams (see Seattle every season before this year). They would win USOC and go on a great run for the Shield. Then all the fatigue CCL brought them would make them putter out before the playoffs. No shame in losing to maybe the greatest MLS team of all time this season in the playoffs.

My point was that this year's Seattle team was much more successful in the league and playoffs than in the past because they didn't have CCL to deal with. Same for us next year.

I expect Seattle to get better with the addition of Garth Lagerway. I think Keane might be gone from LA. They will sign someone like Sneijder as one replacement DP. Thought maybe Gerrard but NY already filed the bull crap "discovery claim" or whatever on him. RSL looks like they are taking a step back.

Actual smoke, not really. He's been linked to the league for awhile (just like lots of players like Drogba have) and he's the name who has been brought up that I've heard now that LD and possibly Keane are gone. LA will get a big name(s) to replace them.

So Frank Lampard never signed with NYCFC...so his deal is not a loan with MCFC. He actually signed a contract with MCFC that expired last night and signed a new contract to finish the year. NYCFC has zero ownership in him. What a weird deal. Bad look for NYCFC and the MLS. (Also hurts my Chelsea heart but this is the MLS thread so I won't dive into that)

So do you think EPB was not selected or not made available by Sporting?
Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: sunny_cat on January 06, 2015, 09:12:39 AM
He was in the preliminary camp. I fully expect him to be selected to the World Cup squad. Lots of people on the internet (who know a lot more about American youth players than me) wondering why he wasn't selected. I assume it's because Tab Ramos doesn't think he's completely healthy coming back from that injury.

Extremely limited knowledge for me, here is my best guess at a starting XI:

Steffen
Turner, Miazga, Donovan, Left Back
Acosta, Flores, Hyndman, Arriola
Thompson, Jamieson

I think Acosta could play left back (right back for FC Dallas) but pretty sure he plays midfield for the youth national teams. Tbh I'm not even positive Donovan and Miazga are CBs but I gave it my best guess.

Also worth noting that Ramos has played EPB at right back and central midfield in training and matches.

Here is someone else's lineup. I assume they're far more educated than me. I pretty much just went with the 8 players I had heard of and guessed from there.

Mix is one of the most attractive players of all time and THE most attractive play in the world today.

[spoiler] not to mention I love watching him play [/spoiler]

For him to come to SKC is merely a dream of mine, one which I have had on many occasions. Wet dreams. With my penis. [spoiler] no homo [/spoiler]

Although the medal round would certainly be at Gillette building a SSS is a part of the Olympic bid. The problem is the site that was proposed when we talked about this a couple of months ago is one of the proposed sites for an Olympic Stadium, the mayor also wants that site to build a homeless shelter.

I agree on the mix stuff but having essentially a feeder team succeed over the rest so quickly is more damaging to the league's perception in the US IMO.

Looks like Saad Abdul-Salaam is a right back, so this could mean we don't bring Igor back. Hoping it also means Ellis fully converts to left back (assuming he re-signs). The highly rated left backs (Earle and Thoma) are still on the board. If we don't trade it, we still have the 20th pick.

We traded our 30th pick for Carrasco of Houston (Alex Morgan's husband). :fatty:

Idk if I said this already but drafting two fullbacks leads me to believe we won't be bringing back Juliao. Think Ellis will be back still. If we don't bring back Igor, we will still be bringing in one other Fluminense player on loan through our partnership with them.

I love google translate's translation abilities, but hate what it implies . . .

Quote
Igor Julian is back to Fluminense after a season on loan in the United States to Sporting Kansas City. And for the side the biggest bet in the base will be no problem in 2015 - with the output of Unimed and financial difficulties, the tricolor cast will be formed largely by silver-of-home. Read More: - Walter ensures that only thinks about the Flu and says he wants to stay - Copa SP: With all the goals in the first half, Fluminense defeat the Northwest and guarantees a place in the second phase - Sport Recife is close to hit with Samuel, Fluminense "I think very cool the Fluminense initiative. The club always bet the base personnel. It has players who are already three or four years in the professional. This will make a difference this season. They are all more mature, more prepared. I think it's a good bet. It's a winning generation. All who are here have won almost everything in the base. They are very prepared. I think the club has made ??a legal funnel. All are players who have a very good future in here and have a beautiful walk through the front, "said the 20 year old to site 'Lancenet'. Igor came to hold for 22 games in 2013, some even 18 years, under necessity in Laranjeiras. In the Major League Soccer last year, the side participated in 25 games as a starter for Sporting KC, and now back to play in the right position with Renato and Wellington Silva, if the latter remains.

Quote from: Matt Doyle (stud)
Got the best pure winger in the draft at No. 10 in Connor Hallisey, who will make the team and play legitimate minutes. Some were divided on Saad Abdul-Salaam, the overlapping right back from Akron, but it's hard to argue with Sporting's track record in the draft, and it's hard to argue they didn't need depth at that spot last year. Amadou Dia, who they took at 20, will be converted from attacker to left back over the next few years, and should be a worthy understudy for Seth Sinovic.

So Hallisey will play LW (and RW, they're the same thing in PV's system), Abdul is RB depth, and Dia will eventually be LB depth.

I like adding RB depth because that allows Anibaba (currently a better RB than CB) to work on playing CB especially if Ellis re-signs. Last season, he struggled in the middle for Seattle. When he played for Chicago a couple years ago, I remember him always being solid at all 3 defensive positions. Anibaba being a good option at CB will help if/when EPB goes to Europe.

Looking at the history of the SuperDraft in general (and PV's history especially), most first round picks make teams and contribute at some level in the first season.

Fwiw, before we drafted two fullbacks, I wanted him back. I wanted to see him develop behind Myers. Now that we have plenty of fullback depth, I prefer to use that loan on a position that would help the team more. I honestly doubt they have any young wingers and especially d mids who we could get and could contribute though. Attacking midfielder could be nice to have compete with Medranda for that spot behind Benny.

Their mass transit system is called MARTA. The super racisty people call it Moving Africans Rapidly Through Atlanta because 80% of the riders are black. The Braves are moving to the suburbs and they listed lack of parking and the nearest train stop being nearly a mile away as reasons for the move. The place they are moving to is now 10 miles from the closest MARTA stop then there's this

Quote
Cobb County’s new Republican Party chairman Joe Dendy makes it perfectly clear why the county refuses to allow convenient mass transportation options into the area (emphasis added):

“It is absolutely necessary the solution is all about moving cars in and around Cobb and surrounding counties from our north and east where most Braves fans travel from, and not moving people into Cobb by rail from Atlanta,” Dendy said in a statement to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

So why doesn’t Dendy want Atlanta residents attending games of the team bearing their home city’s name? Because the move isn’t about Atlanta Atlanta Braves fans in the slightest.

Though he didn’t come right out and say it, it’s clear what Dendy means: he -- and a majority of Cobb County residents -- simply don’t want Atlanta’s urban black population to making its way up to Cobb County.

Atlanta itself is a majority-black city, with 54 percent of the population identifying as black. The Summerhill neighborhood surrounding Turner Field has an even larger black population: 89 percent. For many white, suburban Braves fans, the neighborhood surrounding Turner Field has never been particularly appealing, despite the fact that Summerhill boasts a lower crime rate than most of urban Atlanta.

Anyway the right answer is White Flight FC.

I want a developmental team not in Garden City to put these late round picks and up and coming youth guys. John Currie and USD 383 should be on the phone with Robb about building a mini SSS and small training facility in Manhattan to house SKC2, KSUWSocc, and MHS Soccer.

Roaddron details

Quote from: Sean Dane
Sporting Club and Sporting Kansas City are happy to provide our supporters with free away game tickets. In order to help as many people as possible, we will hold each request link open for approximately 6 weeks. We will start taking requests 2 months in advance of the game and close the link 2 weeks before the match. The Sporting KC front office and supporter group leadership will work closely in monitoring the ticket requests and do our best to accommodate as many of them as we can. However, due to the various venue capacities and ticket prices, some requests may not be granted.

There will be a slight change in procedure for the 2015 season. Rather than having everyone fill out their information every time they wish to request tickets, they will have to fill out their information one time at the beginning of the season. Once you register for the Away Tickets program, you will be issued an identification number. To request tickets throughout the season, just enter your ID number and any additional comments that you have. Every individual aged 18 and over must have an ID number to request a ticket. Anyone under the age of 18 can have a ticket requested by someone with an ID number by mentioning it in the comments box.

Please follow the link provided to register for the 2015 Away Ticket program. Once you have received an email confirming your registration and providing your ID number, you can register for the game(s) you are interested in. Please note: if a person requests a ticket and does not use it, future requests by that individual may not be fulfilled.

Ummmm, I don't know. Why would SKC sign him only to then turn around and temporarily loan him out? It's not there is any duplicity with his position, we got rid of his backup who was a DP. If Dom thinks this is going to happen it makes more since that he is wishing and hoping that it happens because it makes no sense for SKC. What I don't understand is if Dom still wants to go so bad why did he come back? I'm sure he could have hooked up with a side like Millwall, Reading, MK Dons or some other substandard Championship or League 1 team.

That's fine if that's what we're talking about but that isn't what this is. January is over and our first regular season match is only 39 days away.  If he were going on an off-season loan it would have been announced 2 months ago and not during training camp.

I know it flies in the face of how SKC does business and plays but I really wish we would get one of these somewhat big names. I would be so pumped if we had the Bison. But I guess we tried that with Bravo and it only kinda worked.

Mike also says 2017.

And from Nagbe's wiki (and goes along with everything I have seen on twitter the past few months):

Quote from: wikipedia
Nagbe is a Liberian citizen and received his U.S. green card in 2012, thus making him a domestic player for MLS roster purposes. He expects to receive his U.S. citizenship in 2015

Columbus and Dallas actually should be very good. Plus Columbus gets a bonus because they play in the East and making it to the final is easier. Both of those teams have tons of great young talent that will be another year older.

Those odds are ridiculous. Toronto was bad from back to front last season, really since they've come into the league. Jozy, as much as I love him, well make them better but not that much better. And :ROFL: at NYCFC odds that good. The people at that sportsbook have MLS confused with the NBA, they are infatuated with names completely ignoring systems.

McDonnell will join play-by-play announcer Nate Bukaty, color commentator Andy Gruenebaum and analyst Jake Yadrich on the SKCTV broadcast team.

“This is a dream come true,” McDonnell said in a statement released by Sporting KC. “I’ve always thought that if I could get a melting pot and throw sports, news and entertainment into it, I’d have my dream job. Now, I have that and I look forward to working with the SKCTV crew this coming season.”

McDonnell, who was dating Chiefs quarterback Aaron Murray at the time, came to KSHB last September from Philadelphia, where she was a traffic reporter and Philadelphia Eagles sideline reporter.

Sporting KC’s statement said she will also continue her current role with KSHB providing morning traffic updates.

I mean, the Roger, Benny, Nemeth midfield has apparently been good so far... (I haven't actually been watching any preseason)

Something me and a buddy have kicked around for awhile is having Benny play a Pirlo type role. He is capable of doing everything Uri did. His defensive abilities are underrated imo. Midfield could be Benny, Roger, Zusi. This would also allow both Anor and Nemeth to start. I think both have been very good. :dunno:

If we sign MDJ:
Marin; De Jong, Besler, Opara, Ellis; Feilhaber, Espinoza, Zusi; Anor, Dwyer, Nemeth

Just some real quick things, most you already know

DeLaGarza is injured. Opening day back 4 expected to be Rogers, Gonzo, Leonardo, Gargan. The FMLS studs who I try to learn from always say never get DM's so I would ditch all your mids except Nagbe if you wanna keep him. I like Perez but obviously Cooper won't start.

We'll see what kind of formations people end up with halfway through the season. Last year, most of the top players had 3 defenders. Season before, most had 4 or 5 because I guess there were fewer goals scored overall :dunno:

I learn a lot from the guys here http://mlsfantasyboss.com/

Marin is stud GK we signed from Chile. Anor a versatile winger we got from Columbus. Nemeth is a Hungarian forward who has been amazing in preseason. Had a spell on Liverpool (don't think he made any appearances). Anor can allegedly play anywhere basically except CB and striker. Nemeth supposedly can play winger but has been playing CAM while Benny has been playing DM.

Very possible. I'm just avoiding TFC players altogether until after they return from their road trip since players tend to perform better at home. I still remember too well how awful SKC was in 2011 starting the first 10 games on the road. (Btw, I was wrong about TFC. Their first 7 games are road games, but there are 2 byes in there).

That is so cool for Montreal. It's highly likely those fans won't ever feel that much euphoria ever again. I know I didn't during the MLS Final, I was cold and stressed out; that was relief not euphoria. Anyway I've been to Olympic Stadium for a baseball game, with not nearly as many people and it's incredibly loud there.

The list is fine. California Clasico is well beyond it's height as a mainstream rivalry. MLS fans like general fans of every sport place more emphasis on nationally televised games and playoff matches. Outside of 2012 that rivalry has meant nothing nationally since San Jose had to close up shop for two years. It's been over a decade since San Jose meant anything to anybody outside of the state of California. LA-Seattle isn't traditional but they are the two glamor franchises now and they frequently play in high stakes high profile matches.

LA-SJ games are consistently 4-3 and 4-4 type scores. POR-SEA also highly entertaining. On top of that, the hatred is there. They're by far my two favorite matches to watch.

Since it's a "power ranking" I think LA-Seattle belongs. If it was just best overall rivalries I agree with sunny.

It's kind of like how if you asked for the NFLs best rivalries right now SF-Seattle has to be on the list, but historically not so much.

Damn, he has been great so far. Should've put the header on frame tho...

Opara is playing great as well as the defense in whole. Can't complain about too much yet except not finishing chances but that's always an SKC thing anyway

Thought that second yellow on Besler was pretty weak.

90% of the time Dom buries at least one of his chances and SKC wins.

Ike was man of the match. Overall okay first match. Matt didn't have two worthy yellow cards, Dom goes down instead of being a stud may have had a PK, he also usually nets one of those shots. Wish we could have came away with 3 but I'm okay with 1 especially since we were down to 10 men. Cauldron was good outside a cracked out capo. Two great tifos from Cauldron and south stand. Looking forward to the Roaddron down to Dallas with sunny and his squawk friend next weekend

I think we are all mostly on the same page regarding yesterday. I do think Besler deserved the yellow the second time but not in the first one. EPB will likely have to step in against Dallas and be stud like

My opening weekend hottakes
-Robbie Keane, good look with that arm band on. I mean having bad guys is good for any sports league, he may push that theory too far.
-JOZY!!!
-The Citrus Bowl seemed like it was amazing. I have no idea how ESPN placed their mikes but you could clearly hear every cheer in their supporters section which led to some :sdeek: moments
-OC seems to have a pretty solid team, the east is going to be a dogfight because nearly every team is exactly the same
-OC playing on that turf this summer is going to be an absolute disaster, if the players hate Seattle I can't imagine how much they are going to hate the Citrus Bowl.
-Speaking of bad guys, the OC/NYC match introduced two very hateable players to a new audience, our boy AC78 and Andrew Jacobson, eff that guy, he's awful. Love Aurellian though, goes without saying.
-Our groundskeeper, WTF? That football game was two months ago, how is all of the paint still on the field? The SKC Jayhawks are going to be so pissed looking at a powercat and K-State on the field all summer.
-Fun Match, it looks like we're back, the end of last season was painful.
-Speaking of painful, Brad Fredel as an analyst, a combo of woof and :zzz:
-That second yellow was a total joke and that referee was awful all night, he also completely robbed NYRB of a 2 on 0 advantage on the same play.
-Lloyd Sam, damn
-I think BWP will struggle without Henry
-Revs, WTF was that, also cost me my fantasy match  :shakesfist:

:thumbs:

We are just going to have to get used to Marin's style. Not something we're used to really, but he seems extremely confident that he can get the job done when he runs 20 yards away from his goal. Could easily be top 5 GK in the league behind Hamid and Rimando.

Also loved him yelling at defenders in english then in spanish when he got really mad. There was one time when he was very angry and yelling in Spanish but Roger and Anor were no where to be found at that time. Does Matt speak spanish?

I enjoyed watching Marin. Like you guys said, a little spastic at times with a few wtf/Lolz type moments, but I love aggressive GK's. There may be some tense moments early on as every settles in, but I think he's going to be really good. I just think it's hilarious that one of the biggest problems with our GKs last year is how timid they where coming off the line, now it swings almost entirely 180.

It will be two cities and my guess is that they will be Miami and Sacramento. They are the only ones that have had any forward movement lately, obviously lots of smoke with Sacto and as the article stated Miami now has a location. Coral Gables certainly isn't downtown but there are much worse places there.

Your MLS player of the week

Imagine sitting soaked in another man’s urine for close to an hour.

Toronto FC’s Jozy Altidore — and maybe a few prisoners of war — have suffered through just that.

“I was coming out of the tunnel in (Mexico City) and got hit with a bag of pee,” he told the Toronto Sun on Monday. “I was a substitute. It was terrible. I had to be with the pee for 45 minutes.”

His most recent memorable fan moment lasted all of a few seconds.

After converting a game-sealing penalty kick in a 3-1 win over the Whitecaps in Vancouver on Saturday, the U.S. international jogged toward local supporters to taunt the 21,000 in attendance.

In front of him stood Kirsty Olychick, who did what many self-respecting supporters do: She raised a finger. And she kept it up just long enough for a local photographer to snap what will likely go down as the photo of the year in Major League Soccer.

“I saw it online,” Altidore said by phone on Monday. “Someone asked what I thought. I thought it was cool.

“It captures what the game means to them, what the rivalry means to them.”

It was so good it instantly made the rounds on social media the day after the game, garnering massive publicity as outlet after outlet posted it to the web.

It was posted to Twitter tens of thousands of times and was the most-searched MLS item online.

“I don’t think he even noticed I was doing it, nothing was said to me at the time,” Olychick told the Sun by email Monday.

“I am completely surprised at the reaction it is getting and, thankfully, most of it is positive. I heard he was amused by the picture and really that is all that matters. If I had a chance to talk to him, I would make sure he wasn’t offended as it was nothing malicious. It is all in good banter.”

She just might get that chance. Altidore’s people are hoping to get in touch with Olychick this week to thank her for one of the most memorable photos in the Toronto FC striker’s collection.

“It’s up there, man,” Altidore said in terms of images he has seen of himself.

“I’m not really into (photos of myself), but there’s one photo at the 2010 World Cup when we’re celebrating Landon Donovan’s goal.”

It’s the only one that compares, apparently, showing Altidore soaring through the air before landing on the dog pile after Donovan scored a stunning game-winner against Algeria in South Africa.

This time, though, the photo was a result of Toronto FC’s newest striker adding to his goal haul.

“My reaction was based solely off him taunting the home crowd and had nothing to do with the penalty taken,” Olychick said. “I have massive respect for footballers and Altidore himself. He played a great game and his first goal was fantastic.”

In the moment, Altidore said he didn’t recall seeing a much-smaller Vancouver fan holding up the one-finger salute — likely because he was dodging flying objects.

“I don’t remember her,” he said. “I may have glanced, but I was actually just trying make sure beer didn’t hit me. It looks like I’m looking right at her.”

Or attempting to hug her, I added — to which Altidore let out a brief laugh.

“She’s awesome,” he continued. “I know that it’s nothing malicious.

“It’s just cool. Without her it isn’t made. I’m sure people will look at it for a while down the road.”

For Olychick, it was just habit — one that turned her into an instant online star.

“I am a massive Whitecaps and Liverpool fan,” she added. “A Southsider (Vancouver’s supporters’ group) and have played soccer for most of my life. When it comes to the beautiful game, I cannot hide my passion. This time it was captured on film.”

All told, Altidore will likely take a finger over a bag of something more sinister any day.

Well as it sits now the 2022 world cup break would be during the end of the regular season and entirety of the playoffs. That certainly won't fly so they will have to start the regular season a month and a half earlier, in mid-January. If/when this happens it will have to be a multi-year process of the season starting a couple of weeks earlier each year likely starting in 2019 so that they don't have the MLS Cup in December and then starting the next season six weeks later.

Winter schedule still isn't practical here unless you wanna build domes in half the cities. MLS will deal with the dumbass Nov-Dec WC.

Thing is he's dead wrong, it's like the opposite. It's gonna suck for NYCFC because of the dirt infield and base paths,  it certainly won't be an issue for like you said, a fat ass first baseman. The sod they are going to lay on the infield and pitchers mound will be awful.

Roaddron recap as told by scottwildcat:
Tailgate was fun, the Beer Guardians/The Inferno hosted it. Lots and lots of free beer and some average tacos. About 90 minutes before the game we "marched" in. Unlike the Colorado game I went to last year it wasn't much of a march. Some kind of douchey SKC fans went in before everyone else, it pissed some off but what evz. The 10k Dallas fans that did show up didn't really come in until right before the kick off. There was zero sound coming from any of the 3 "supporter sections" the "Snake Pit" was in the West they were setting smoke bombs off all game, the Beer Guardians/Inferno in the North didn't do anything note worthy, and then the Predominately Mexican group in the south (closest to us in the SE corner) banged drums all games. We were so much louder all game, only noise they ever made was after goals. When down 3-1 we were singing so loud and getting under Dallas fans skin while singing "Have you ever seen Dallas lift the cup?"(they haven't) no one even noticed we were awarded a PK.

After the game I was involved in my first soccer hooligan incident. Post game security roped us in and made us wait until rest of the stadium exited before we could leave. We continued to sing. Then a handful of the members of the predominately mexican group ran over at us started flipping us off and then security/cops went from standing by us to push them away. Then when we eventually got to leave they were standing at the top of our section chanting and yelling at us with security making a wall between us all. It was amazing and I loved it. Away games are amazing in all sports but soccer may be the most fun.

Cal is English.

Learned is the more common past tense and past participle of the verb learn. Learnt is a variant especially common outside North America. In British writing, for instance, it appears about once for every three instances of learned.

It's not frowned upon at all if you're the one buying them. If you're the one selling for profit (MS only), you're a bad person and you should feel bad.

Cheapest resale MS ticket on ticketmaster is $51. Cheapest on stubhub is $54.

The team looked good, especially with a couple guys in that are primarily going to be reserves, just wish they where finishing better.

It seems like Vermes is playing mad scientist a little with the roster right now so I wonder if he's playing Benny back to see what others do in an attacking role.

He was a total stud, s_c spotted him and I made eye contact with him and gave him the chicken wing gesture and he laughed and shhhed me.

MIR and his intern where there with s_c myself and hipster friend of s_c. What a crazy final 6 minutes.

s_c almost fought two capos because he clapped when CJ came on.

ya the camera angle of the smaller mls parks make the fields seem smaller.  i always thought they were smaller until I researched the living crap out of the field sizes

the lack of a standard size bugs me and seems very amateur but I guess Fifa doesn't give a crap what I think

also i think it's time for vermes to retire

In all seriousness, unofficial salaries by the players union are usually released in April of each year but they're delayed because of the new CBA. Roster rules haven't even been ratified/released to the public. New minimum salary is now 60k.

And I have 4 jerseys; 3 authentic, 1 replica.

No it's a very good thing, its desperate and farcical to have an entire league to try to beat one team.

Also we haven't brought this up but as hard as I'll be rooting for Montreal if they pull it off it won't feel right at all having the worst team in the league, hell probably the worst MLS team in CCL history win it. Other than the underdog pulling off the nearly impossible this has no value to the league.

Don't you roll your eyes at me, I've watched them in this competition as much as anyone else. You can pretend that the Montreal Impact winning the CCL would mean the same as a real MLS team that actually qualified through the league but I won't. I hope they win and will be really happy for them but if you are ranking the MLS teams that deserve to win this thing based on the franchise they would be dead last. There are NASL and USL teams that are more heralded than the Impact.

The rest of the league is so far behind in style it's not even funny.

Also, a pic of Dom, Sydney, and Husband of Alex (yes I know his name but obviously he's the weak link here) in those jerseys might just break the Internet

Give the south stand time and they will be pretty legit all on their own, and after a few more weeks their half of call and response will be very good. They have improved a lot already from when a small group tried to get some added atmosphere in the south.

I was just at this site on Sunday night walking around. I like it a lot. It is in South Central but that immediate area has the Coliseum right next door as you can see. It has the LA Museum of Natural History right behind it and USC right there too. People will make the usual jokes about the hood, but the location is 20x better than Carson. I think Chivas would have done much better if they did this, there is a sizeable Mexican-American community in this area, not so much in Carson.

I also spent a good amount of time with an MLS insider from Portland on Monday. The only real scoop he had was this stadium, I talked to him before the announcement, and his confirmation that Caleb Porter is in fact a dickhead. Also that Caleb Porter/oscar Arena gif is real, not shopped, and the only reason there are no quotes about it is the Portland media didn't ask.

The best part about sitting in the elite seats down low was being able to hear Peter yell at the refs as well as NE's coach yell at Peter after the PK goal.  It was awesome.  He kept yelling "CONGRATS PETER!! CONGRATS PETER!!!" and was giving him a condescending thumbs up the whole time.  It was fab.

That guy was great.  At one point, they had The Shot of the Match(or something like that)put up on the display and showed something like a full minute montage of the coach throwing several temper tantrums.  It was pretty great.

Odd attempt at a correction, I'm obviously talking about Vermes as the head coach. He coached the KC Wizards for 12 matches.
I thought he did a full season plus that half season before SKC. :shy:

I liked his play during the first handful of games but then he started to struggle and Melia completely outplayed him. Hopefully Baby Kemp gets some play while he's up.

To say the North America Soccer League (NASL) had a really bad day, on and off the soccer pitch on Wednesday, would be a gross understatement. The day started with Chairperson Aaron Davidson being arrested as part of the United States Department of Justice’s sting against high ranking FIFA executives and other individuals for their alleged corruption, racketeering, and other charges. It ended with the league being swept by the USL (6-0-1, 1-0 in PKs) leaving only two NASL clubs advancing to Round 4 of the 2015 US Open Cup.

Seriously, this club doesn't get near enough pub for being one of the bitb at identifying and developing young talent. Few years back they draft a couple of guys named Besler and Zusi. Ok, these guys may amount to something. Boom, World Cup players. That Dom Dwyer kid? Yea he turned out ok. Some rando Hungarian striker picked up with little fanfare? Stud. Now they draft three kids 1st round this year and talk about how they may take a few years to develop and already 2 have shown they could start for a good portion of the teams in this league.

eff you rest of MLS and your big name DPs. SKC will keep destroying you in talent development. End rant, joda out :drops mic:

Like, how many turns did he make on defenders, in just one game. Also singled handedly caused the red card on Loyd.

6 goals in nearly as many shots.

Yep, top tier.

And his goal celebration is pretty sweet, too.  Like a Greek god.

Quote
But the guy I really want to focus on is striker Krisztian Nemeth, who was (along with Giovinco) the best player in MLS this week. This is filthy:http://www.mlssoccer.com/video/2015/05/29/goal-benny-feilhaber-grabs-sporting-kcs-second-night#ooid=NrczdldTpBn1rpqTV2e2NGslw4ZTbKQt

Receiving the ball isn't an act of brute force with Nemeth. It's not just his strength and touch vs. the defender's strength and timing; it's a dance, one where he knows the steps better than the guy trying to take him off the ball.

I think James Rogers is a winger but maybe we see him at CF? Him, Hallisey, Feilhaber, and Zusi are the only 4 I would give a shot in hell at starting there. Going to be very interesting on Saturday.

Vermes says Dom and JP are between "questionable and available" fwiw... No inside info but I bet at least one starts. Would think Dom cause he's needed more.

Although JP has played CF in preseason so if he's ready and Dom isn't, could see him there.

would be huge if JAKE JAKE JAKE JAKE JAKE was ready to go and could play up there. While I am not his biggest fan, not even close, him playing as a CF would be better than a false 9 or someone like Hal having to play out of position with very little MLS experience and no striker experience.

The best part about this win has been watching the Sounders fan base go absolutely mental over it.  I love the fans that are saying they are proud of how Frei and the team acted professionally after all of the calls that went against them in the game  :ROFL: :ROFL:

Thought for sure Frei got a little lucky to not pick up a second card while he was pouting all over the place.  The other player who kicked the ice bucket after the game and condescendingly clapped at the refs direction was a lil' biatch too. 

Man I love beating them.

Unless Dom really likes their system/style of play there, I can't see him overwhelmingly wanting to go there when he's in a superstar role with our club already.  Now that he's married, that could change I guess.

Could be a rough month on our depth of all 5 make the final roster. I think it is good for the club image and brand to have internationals though. I just think MLS should shut down during Gold Cup. Make it THE soccer event at the time.

Quick review of Chicago Fire

2014 - Beat the mighty Riverhounds 2:1 - really impressive; blown out in semis 6-0 by Seattle
2013 - A decent run to the semis
2012 - Lost 1:2 to the Dayton Dutch Lions
2011 - Advanced to the finals . . . with only playing one MLS team
2010 - Lost to Charleston Battery
2009 - Lost to Wilmington Hammerheads

Yep, you're right Sunny.  No reason whatsoever to pick them.  :facepalm:

V fun USOC game, STL fans weren't what I would call "loud af" I couldn't understand any of their songs, but I could hear them making noise at some points. Great support for a lower division team in its first year.

Also lol at STL fans trying to say the place wasn't loud last night on Twitter. Was great for a Tuesday night vs a lower division team.

They were loud because I could hear noise coming from them and that is great for them, but I could still make out what the SS was trying to sing/say better.

There are also like 5 times more people in the SS. I also would say STL was louder a couple times.

I thought a large portion of modern soccer and its spread was due in large part to the British? I learned a lot about the game growing up by attending camps instructed by Australians.

Mainly I just don't see a problem with those terms being used. Could other terms be used as well? Yes. But it's silly to be upset about in my opinion.

Quote from: Brisket Bob
The team is trying out their new mobile ordering app in the Member's Club starting tonight. It will be available to use at the main concession stand in the back, but not at the beverage-only bar in the front. If you try it out tonight, post in here about your experience with it.
Here are the instructions from the email the team sent out this week:
All items from the normal concessions menu are available through the app on both iPhone and Android. The process is simple:
1. Download the Gameday app by searching "Gameday Lantern" in the iTunes or Google Play Store
2. Select Sporting KC as your gameday location
3. Order and pay for your food and drink via Paypal, credit or debit card
4. Pick up your order from the Fast Lane concessions line

They're wearing the hoops today. I'm going to miss those bad boys next year. I hope I like the checker board style as much next year. (No confirmation they are doing a checker board next year but it is my prediction)

Starting to get a little bit wackadoo . . . that would have top-to-bottom comp ratio of somewhere around 250:1.  Compare to the NFL where it's more like 40:1.

Like, is this sustainable? What about locker room dynamics?

This kind of sucks that this rule came about now instead of the off season, we could have used this to pay down Bes or Zus and kept Collin or payed down Claudio before we parted ways.

Oh well it could help with Benny in the future and still allow for another DP.

LA Seattle and NYCFC will be using this soon.

tangentially related - just watched the "next goal wins" documentary on Netflix covering the american samoa team through the 2014 world cup qualifying (probably old news to soccer fans but it was a fantastic watch).

now TB Rowdies coach thomas rongen was the only person to apply for a USSF posting to help coach them through qualifying, where they won their first ever wc qualifier.  don't normally care much for sports documentaries (or sports films in general) but this one was good.

At the FC Dallas Roaddron for a brief second I was excited because I thought I saw MIR in the distance at the tailgate. It wasn't him I got sad.

With the LA Galaxy guy as top dog I'd put Bukaty mid-pack with a bunch of others.

This Vancouver guy is really good.

FC Wichita win!!!

FC Wichita will represent the South Central Conference in the South Region semi-final vs Myrtle Beach FC in South Carolina on Saturday, July 18th.

The NPSL is divided into 4 regions (Northeast, South, Midwest, and West). The South Region is broken up into 4 conferences (South Atlantic, Southeast, Sunshine, and South Central). FC Wichita compete in the South Central Conference with 7 other teams. By winning the Conference, Wichita advance to the regional semi-final where they will play a single elimination play-off versus the other 3 conference winners in the South Region. The winner of the South Region will then advance to the national finals to face the 3 other Regional champions to determine the league and national champ.

Welcome Dax! I would say the MLS players do whine quite a bit, and the overall physical style is similar to the English Championship division and the Scottish Premier League but with better pure athletes. It is a fun league because it is still so young and growing.

I see your perspective on this, and while I don't necessarily disagree, I think Peter likes using him to set an example for the rookies that if they bust their asses they will reap benefits in his system.  Last night was a great example in that I thought that when Connor Hallisey came on for The Answer, he was aggressive, disruptive, and played will in his limited time on the turf-o-crap

It doesn't matter at all but the all star game is the friendly I'm most interested in. Not saying much cause I hate friendlies. But I like it when the best, most deserving players are called in.

Maybe a lineup like:
Frei; Beasley, Besler, Gonzalez, Powell; Finlay, Feilhaber, Bradley, Nagbe; Kamara, Giovinco :dunno:

Don't think Kaka deserves it. He has had a few mind blowing games but it seems like his goals are almost all penalties. Clint and Oba at the expense of the best player and golden boot front runner (grats mocat)

MLS is in no way comparable to a Euro basketball  league. Unlike basketball the best talent in soccer is spread all around the world not all in one league.

If you can't get past the league comparison you are grossly overestimating the current impact of these guys. If you want to stick with the basketball comparisons these two guys are like sticking the current versions of KG and Manu in a league full of guys younger and fitter.

Like, if a good past prime player NBA went to a European league for the twilight of his career, said player would assumably be one the best players in that League, without playing a game. we know this because the NBA, like the EPL, are the best leagues in the world for their reflective sports.

That's why they don't have to play a game against MLS competition for me to know that they're already better than most guys in this League.

MLS is in no way comparable to a Euro basketball  league. Unlike basketball the best talent in soccer is spread all around the world not all in one league.

If you can't get past the league comparison you are grossly overestimating the current impact of these guys. If you want to stick with the basketball comparisons these two guys are like sticking the current versions of KG and Manu in a league full of guys younger and fitter.

and yeah, I think KG and Manu would still be stars in the best non-NBA basketball leagues around the world.  even as old, slow, past-prime shells of their former selves.

MLS is great fun and it's getting better.  but, it's still a league where past-prime guys from the best leagues can come play and be amongst the best.     
That is absolutely not relevant to the point he was making

"If you want to stick with the basketball comparisons these two guys are like sticking the current versions of KG and Manu in a league full of guys younger and fitter."

In other words, Lampard and Gerrard in the MLS would be like sticking KC and Manu in good international pro league.  My point is that current KG and Manu would still be stars in other pro leagues - just like current Lampard and Gerrard will be stars in the MLS.  I don't have to wait to see them in action to know this.

I can think of this happening  maybe once with Robbie Keane, I'd even give you twice with Henry. You can't count Beckham because he was sought-after in Europe the entire time he was here and even went back when he was done. So even if you did count him that's three guys max in the entire history of the league, not nearly enough to anoint every Euro that comes over one of the best.

not talking about "every Euro that comes over."  talking about guys from the best leagues - EPL, la liga, etc.  past-prime stars like Kaka and Villa came over and, not-surprisingly, they're amongst the league goal leaders.  predict Lampard and Gerrard will quickly join that list.  I read that Drogba might be MLS-bound. again, I predict he'll be amongst the best - don't have to wait to watch a game. 

I think it's a good thing to bring these guys over.  obvs, the league agrees.  it's good for the image and increases exposure.

Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: Tobias on July 16, 2015, 12:29:08 PM
seems like we're talking about two separate issues: a) whether good players who come in from other leagues should be automatically placed in the ASG without playing a minute and b) whether good players who come in from other leagues go on to become top performers in MLS.

(a) is complete bullshit, and (b) sometimes happens, sometimes doesn't.  the league is already very heavy-handed in their tactics to get foreign talent to come here (i get the league's effort, and i get the occasional backlash against it from existing MLS players), but it's more or less been a balancing act that hasn't gone too far off the rails one way or another.  these unnecessary ASG designations send it over the edge for me, and pretty much universally everyone else from players to fans.

it's not like the fans were clamoring for their inclusion and they didn't make the cut - it's just a business decision by the commissioner which is wildly unpopular and antagonistic to the rest of the league

I won't dispute you on Topic A.  But, it's very different to argue (1) they shouldn't be all stars because they aren't MLS players yet and (2) they shouldn't be all stars because they haven't played against MLS talent yet and, therefore, haven't yet proven their value.  I can see argument 1.  I think argument 2 is pretty Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) given the level of talent in top Euro leagues compared to the MLS.

regarding stars from top euro leagues that landed in the MLS, I don't believe there are many, if any at all, who haven't been stars in the MLS.  The fact is that there haven't been many of them in the first place.  the only real stars I'm aware of are Keane, Beckham, Henry, Villa, and Kaka.  Obviously Lampard and Gerrard just got here.  And then there are a whole host of Americans that have returned to the MLS from euro leagues and all of them are stars.  I'm sure there are some guys that floated around internationally before coming to MLS.  I'm just not really finding many guys that were successful abroad and then came to MLS and couldn't cut it.

In the first 8 minutes of this game sw's gf got on the big screen, I instigated a reaction from a Montreal CB when I told him his shoes were untied, and and s_c dumped a full beer on the people in front us, AND he mixed up the names of the Montreal GK and GOP Presidential nominee front runner up. (He thought the GOP nominee was named Evan and the MI GK was named Jeb)

I was at the game tonight, first ever, and I know nothing about soccer.  SKC didn't seem to have anyone that was a legitimate threat to score.  Dwyer looked particularly horrible in that regard.  Fun atmosphere and glad I went, but was often wondering what the hell was going on.

Interested to see what the hell happened here. I wonder if LAG possibly tried to sanction him because of the whole Gold Cup semi's mess and it pissed him off.

Quote
CARSON, Calif. (AP) -- Goalkeeper Jaime Penedo says he is leaving the LA Galaxy after nearly two years with the defending MLS champions.

Penedo announced his departure on social media Wednesday, saying he made the decision ''because of principles.''

The Galaxy's official website reports the Panamanian goalie has been waived.

Penedo was a standout for last season's championship team, yielding just three goals in five playoff games. He had 29 wins and 21 shutouts in 61 appearances for the Galaxy.

Penedo spent the past month playing for Panama at the Gold Cup tournament. Brian Rowe has started for the Galaxy in Penedo's absence.

The 33-year-old Penedo joined the Galaxy in August 2013 after six seasons with Municipal in Guatemala, swiftly becoming one of MLS' top goalkeepers. He is 6-4-6 for the Galaxy this season.

He was awful before that goal, granted he was out of position but this game wasn't anything close to being worth anyone beating their chest over.

What game were you watching? Constantly pressured the ball and caused havoc amongst torontos defense. Thought he was one of our best today...

Toronto has the worst back 4 in the league, the Canadian announcers said as much. Pressuring the ball is fine but he was playing center forward today. He never got synced with the regulars, they played through balls and he either wasn't making the run or going very late. I also saw him play himself offside three different times when we had the ball in a place to play him through or someone else.

That sounds much more negative than intended but like I said, he was playing out of position, and not only that he was playing for Dom so there is a clear difference in adjustment of play for everyone.

I think I must be this one:

The Bad Girl/Boy - Most commonly taken on by yang polar people. The Bad Girl/Boy plays the social outcast, the whore, the criminal, the Incorrigible One. Their yang energy makes them defiant in their "badness", and they often flaunt it in outrageous ways. They can even feel superior to the "good" people and make a big show of pretending they don't care about being accepted. But the truth is that they do care, and deep down they believe they will never be accepted.

How in the hell do you spend that much money and have a back line that bad? Did they plan on winning the MLS Cup by winning a bunch of matches 5-4? We can't even be sure that OCFC won't catch them for the last playoff spot.

They didn't, you're an idiot liar. SKC didn't even have TV distribution west of Lawrence until 3 years ago.

If true, I'm in absolute shock. I had expected 300 max for a cross country mid week game. Massive props to SKC's traveling support

Eddie Robinson is a stupid piece of crap. I don't know which of his talking points was more stupid:
-Besler was time wasting in a 0-0 game in the 50th minute on a throw in because he switched the ball to one that the ball kid was holding, like he always does.
-Boniek Garcia shouldn't have gotten that second yellow because he's a nice guy and doesn't have malice within him. Everyone around Houston knows that, SKC knows it, and the official should have known that.
-European based coaches don't do as well in MLS because they don't realize that American pros need more instruction than Europeans.

Considering the number of games the above players have missed, that fact is irrelevant. They're a completely different team with their 3 most important players.

I'm going to miss when Sporting Park is no longer the best SSS. I was just thinking about this, Orlando is basically copying our stadium but it will be bigger and newer and probably better, and I've seen renderings of the proposed stadium for LAFC, and all of that is making me sad.

was just horizontal indigo/sporting blue in the south stand. as far as i could tell, was just a mass of sporting blue in the east and west stands. no idea what we looked like in the cauldron. didn't seem to be that cool but the south stand had a neat tifo in the middle of their stripes.

I am somewhat new to soccer (~5 years experience watching), but is it the easiest sport to have a deep hatred for players on the opposing team? It feels that way when I watch. For instance, I wasn't on this thread last night, but I watch Sporting win the 'ship and during the entire portion that I watched (from about the 70th minute through pk's), I found my blood boiling at little crap that Philly was doing and I had an intense hatred for that La Croix dude without even knowing that the stud soccer posters on gE all hated him, too!

Yeah Ellis needs replacing next season. Since Ike is clearly incapable of staying healthy for the majority of a season, I'm hoping Okugo will get consistent reps at CB. He was great there for Philly a few years ago.

I was too drunk to post last night and I didn't take a sip until extra time. That was the first time in my life I drank because of nerves. That was fun, I reached it after the trophy presentation was over. Our two matches against Philadelphia this season  :Wha:

Kevin Ellis, my god. At the end of the broadcast Twellman said Ellis had good match, woof. He was much better in extra time but he was crap during the first 90. That header into the middle of his own box was :lol: when he stepped up to take the pk, I thought it was over.

Also can we talk about how stupid and frustrating Timmy is when he's time wasting, not sure how he avoided a yellow last night.

Ftr, I hate flopping, but everyone does it so whatever, just don't pull that crap the guy from Orlando did.

Nemeth needs to practice his acting though. Too many times he feels the contact and goes down, but in a completely unnatural way.

Only way that would happen is in the qtr(maybe semi?) finals or later in the LHUSOC.

I am a Chelsea fan but I wouldn't be wearing a Drogba jersey to watch my beloved SKC team try to win the cup against Montreal.  I think it's neat many of our fans like Gerrard and Liverpool, but they were asking for their feathers to be ruffled when they are cheering him on to score goals against their hometown team that they normally root for.  Loved the Cauldron tweet. eff the haters.

There was a douche in front of me that had a West Ham jersey on over his SKC jersey and had a West Ham scarf and flag, he took the West Ham jersey off when the game started but still. The connection you ask, Sebastian Lletget played one rough ridin' FA Cup match in 5 seasons for the Hammers. This adult man got all fanboied out for a dude who played one match in 5 seasons.

Those Vermes comments came in the post game press conference, so I'm sure they were misinformed because Peter didn't want to share that with the national tv guys. Bukaty also on 810 during the postgame talked about how Benny knew that Peter was going to do it and was pissed about it. I agree with you, I thought both guys played very well. My only real complaint player wise from last night was with SAS. He is really uncomfortable with the ball on his foot in the attacking 3rd and gave the ball away a couple of times. I'm sure he'll get better with that but he was dreadful in that specific area last night.

okay so i never played soccer past like 4th grade but it seems silly to hit the post in a shootout.

like, the goal is huge. putting it 2 feet inside the post seems like it would be far enough away from the goalie. why did we hit the post twice? dumb.

Besler must have been 'sketti brained for lifting his PK.

Overall a huge disappointment.  SKC deserved to win that and should have.  They choked hard in the moments that mattered.  I found the ref to be the usual awful mls standard in pressure situations.  I would like to see a review process for hits to the head (especially if we're sticking with player safety mattering) and review it like targeting in football.  No excuse for the team leaving Kempin out to dry.  He gave them multiple chances to close out, really a brilliant performance on his end.

Soccer is woefully behind in its handling of head injuries. The worst part about that is there is a fairly high risk of head trauma in the sport. Football and hockey have much higher risks, but they've also done significantly more to try and combat the effects in recent years.

As we saw last night, the substitution policies of soccer are one of the biggest obstacles to progress. In almost any other sport, Melia could have been removed with little to no consequences other than simply losing him as a player. Just imagine if that had occurred after SKC had used all 3 subs. There's no chance in hell in comes out of that game in that scenario.

I don't know that I'd really say they chocked either. Portland threw everything that had at them and it took two PKs hitting the post and goalies shooting PKs for Portland to win.

Because a good keeper is capable of making a save of even a well struck ball that they guess right on. Kempen's shot that was saved is a perfect example of that. He hit it with good pace but it wasn't far enough to his left to beat the keeper.

That match was Kevin Ellis' season in a nice 120 minute package. Solid defense for 117 minutes, scores a great header against a guy seemingly a foot bigger than he is, has a brutal defensive lapse with 3 minutes left of a game we are winning, misses a penalty with a chance to win the match. Kevin Ellis 2015.

okay but hes the goalie and he didnt kick it 2 feet inside the post. it was more like halway between the post and the goalie. he doesnt have the deception of which side the other players have.

my point is there is no excuse that our players should come close to hitting the post. we hit it twice last night. if the goalie saves a ball 2 ft from the post then good for him- do it 4 more times. the post balls didnt go in.

point is 2 feet inside the post is ground easily covered by the keeper. It takes a Kevin Ellis USOC Final PK to be virtually unsavable.

Yep, can't take what you dish out, sounds about right. I'd probably feel the same way about a team who spent 30 years losing that I started caring about like 15 minutes ago. I probably won't post in the thread though because I'm not a loser and I have better things to do than troll something I have no fucks about.

What defensively should SKC have done on the play leading up to the last goal? Seemed like that dude who kicked it had a wide open goal

What I saw was pretty close to what the commentators mentioned. Someone missed their mark allowing the Portland player to be that open and the fullback (don't remember for sure, but I think it was Dia) gave the passer too much space.

The person defending the cross needed to be closer and Kevin Ellis definitely lost the guy he should have been marking (guarding).

many people keep saying this, and I have to disagree.  In several games that he didn't notch an assist or goal in, he was the only spark in chasing the damn ball down and getting the attack started for us.  I get that people want to reduce his salary based on this year. That's fine.  But don't act like he shouldn't be on the damn team.

It's not like he's getting paid $5m a year. He's getting paid less than $700k. He also has played for USMNT non-stop and probably still isn't fully recovered from that foot injury from the winter. JK needs to stop calling him up and he'll be fine.

Each player then will see his base compensation rise to $650,000 in 2015, $700,000 the following season, $725,000 in 2017 and $750,000 during the final year. Besler also has a no-trade clause, and both players have marketing and performance bonuses that could see their income rise further. For example, Zusi will earn an additional $55,000 if SKC wins a second consecutive title. Besler will be $35,000 richer if he pockets a second MLS Defender of the Year award.

He clearly is still good enough to play, but three more years for both of these guys :sdeek:

Rumblings of a potential Brad Davis to SKC move.... :dunno:

Personally, I'd have him take every corner/free kick imaginable and I'd bet we'd become even better on set pieces.  After that though, would he have the stamina to play a full 90 on the squad? Would be interesting...

3. Are they going to make what appears to be a fine high school football stadium and turn it into a sss? How in the world can they just take someone's high school football stadium?

Weird. No way is OKC a 2 team city, so I guess this is just the Lunds and the Funks trying to one up each other again?


That rivalry ruined hockey in OKC. So back to the question I asked already, will Swope Park Rangers be the OKC Energy relocated?

I doubt they are. I'm not going to go back and check which of Lund or Funk owns which, but I don't see either just packing up and leaving because the other started a team.

Really good? We'll see. I'm interested to see how much the contract is for. I wonder what kind of professional forward he'll be; he doesn't seem like type that will be able to play with his back to the net, nor have I seen him be much of a creator. I've only seen him be a poacher and I also wonder how his fitness will be playing with pros as he seems a bit chunky.

You could have said the same thing about the Kansas City market not adding much value to the league but the franchise is so well run and the fan base is so good that it made Kansas City a monster. I think that same potential lies in Sacramento. You can never know about the ownership group but those people in Sacramento love the crap out of the Kings, they seem very provincial.

But KC is in an area with no soccer team anywhere near them and came in at the inception of the league, Sacramento would be the 4th team in a state. And even then I would say the league would not miss a beat at the macro level if SKC ceased to exist tomorrow.

So you don't want St. Louis to have a franchise either? Sacramento and San Jose are completely different places, I seriously doubt there are too many people driving the two hours down to Avaya.

Also you can say the same thing about every pro sports franchise in America. People don't watch MLS because of the LA Galaxy, they watch the LA Galaxy because of the LA Galaxy. The league's success is built on how many people are willing to watch Orlando vs. Dallas on a random Tuesday in August. Those people aren't going to that match because Giovinco is in Toronto. There is no team bigger than the league, not the Galaxy, Lakers, Yankees, or Canadiens.

I want Saint Louis because I am a biased hypocrite, but I think adding more teams is a mistake, I think we have too many teams in the MLS, and I think having 4 teams in one state, in the MLS is too much, and I disagree. The MLS would be hurt with out the big clubs who bring in big names that grab press and sell jerseys and could get the non-MLS fans to occasionally turn on the tv or go to the game. If every team operated in the manner of SKC the league would be hurting.

Are you just ignoring the fact that Sacramento is killing it as a USL club? Who cares that there are three others in the same (enormous) state? A good market is a good market.

Also, there's no evidence at all that the talent pool is being watered down due to over-expansion. Is there another reason you think we're expanding too quickly?

I'm trying to figure out how San Antonio adds value (in your eyes) but Sacramento does not.

Also how do you want to schedule? Are you trying to get to 40 teams and make MLS a pro/rel system?

Before I googled, I thought SA was substantially bigger. I was wrong. Also gtfoomf if you think that the roster spot 1-23 wouldn't be better per team with 20 teams vs having 24 or 32

If we add ten teams next year, yes it would be an issue. Just needs to be slow growth. We have added five teams in the last five years. Would you not agree that the quality of play is better per team than it was in 2010? The world isn't going to run out of soccer players and academies are improving. The talent will be there if we steadily and carefully expand.

Also how do you want to schedule? Are you trying to get to 40 teams and make MLS a pro/rel system?

30 teams and pro/rel would be fine with me. I don't give a crap enough to figure out how they're going to schedule.

Start telling these owners and cities trying to come in that there is a possibility they'll be in the second division and they're still paying up then eff it lets go to 40 with a division one and two

I don't care who does it. It is a stupid rule. Mexico doesn't do it.

We should not base what MLS does on what other countries do. We have playoffs. Most other countries don't. We have a summer schedule. Most other countries don't. We don't have a single table. Most other countries do. We don't have pro/rel. Most other countries do.

Maybe don't have the damn championship on a Sunday afternoon to compete against the NFL  :dunno:

This game should be on a Wednesday night, prime time, ESPN. Gives it 3 weekdays of marketing leading up to the evening's match.  It's just too easy for the game to get lost with the hustle/bustle of the weekend during the holiday season paired with a full NFL slate. 

This isn't hard guys. I had my tv on the game while I watched out the window while putting on lights #doingmypart

Would still have been crap if it was NYC-LA, but it being CLB-PDX didn't help ratings.

But yeah, I went to Old Chicago to watch the Chiefs during it. MLS Cup was on one TV and that TV was facing the clear garage door facing the patio. Every now and then, I watched the reflection of the game.

Not sure what purpose Olum serves. Unlikely that I'm right, but Okugo could be transitioning to be the every day center back next to Besler since Opara is incapable of staying healthy. In that scenario, Olum would be DM depth to Mustivar (who we actually haven't re-signed yet either...)

Kempin re-signing is huge.

Odds are fairly decent that we'll loan Kempin out, right?

If I'm PV, I make him the starting keeper for SPR all season and recall him when needed. I have heard something about MDS (SPR coach) bringing a fairly young, talented GK with him from Ottawa. Either way, it is absolutely necessary to sign another keeper or two. Busch and Perkins are on the market.

Interesting article diving into the history and possible future of MLS in San Diego from the prospective of former Padres owner and possible leader of the investment group that will ultimately buy Everton.

Also SUPER interesting nugget in there for me was he investigated and almost bought a Liga MX team and relocated it to Southern California.

We made the right call here guys. $3 mil is a big chunk of change, it sounds like Kris wanted out, and in the case of the sell on clause we could still see more money coming in down the road. There is still plenty of time to get a backup striker, we have enough guys to play out wide. We have done fine after selling off guys before. It sucks but we are going to be okay.

The difference between oscar and Robb making that tweet is the maximize the opportunity part. oscar would make it sound like we don't need talent, we need heart. Robb basically said don't want to be here then we'll get a nice fat check and go find another good player with it.

fairly accurate assessment.

I'll say the jerseys are pretty cool. Culturally though I still find the giant ad off putting, but it is what it is, the look and design is good.

SKC has grown a brand in the region faster than I ever imagined they could. Part of that is the team had success as soon as the new stade opened, but the committement to design and fashion is probably even a bigger factor. I see as much, if not more, SKC gear as ku gear outside of ku basketball game days when I'm in Overland Park.

Seattle parked the bus playing a man down for an entire half, and playing after flying from Mexico mid week. We needed a miracle save and a fluke 35 yard goal from a central defender to get the result. I'm happy we got the three points but it was far from an awe inspiring and confidence building performance.

This was our first game their 3rd, we were playing without at least 3 assumed starters. Yeah they flew home form Mexico but we did have to fly from KC. I'm not sitting here saying that we are going to win the Cup and am busting with confidence, but c'mon. 3 points away at Seattle is still 3 points away at Seattle.

No no no no. I'm normally very tuckish about SKC but our approach in the second half pissed me off. Nothing I said in my previous message can be disputed. Scott's point that three points on the road, especially in Cascadia shouldn't be minimized, and he's right, but we looked like crap in that second half and we got really lucky.

THIS.  Let's also not underestimate the impact of Benny not being in the match as well as getting some guys a full game in when they'll likely be coming off the bench in most matches. 

I do think that Seattle is going to struggle this year without Obafemi making Deuce look good.

Will do. Last year I created a calendar reminder for Tuesdays to update my team. That way I didn't miss out on Wednesday games, etc.

My week 1 was killed by two factors:

1) Benny didn't play and I had him starting (still have him on bench)
2) Got lazy and had Ola Kamara from the Columbus Crew on my team and starting. Instead of looking into it at the time, I figured Kei was being goofy and pulling some sort of Ochocinco move where he changed his first name temporarily.  Turns out, it's a dude from Norway who didn't really even play.  Had to correct that immediately.

Absurd but it helps that several of the highest paid keepers on teams lost their spots or are injured.

Funny that Colorado has the two best USMNT players at the World Cup and many (including myself) look at them as bad moves. Still, they're definitely a better team with those players.

Guys, my newborn daughter hit the 3-week old mark today.  When's the appropriate time to take her to a match?  We've seen some people with tiny little kids in carriers before, but sometimes I even question if I'd do that myself.  As season ticket holders, I don't want my tickets to keep wasting away to other people. I want to PAK at the game.

My daughter's first public appearance was at a Phoenix Coyotes vs. Boston Bruins game when she was two weeks old. Before she was two months old she went to an NHL game, two sweet 16 games, an elite 8 game, and four Red Sox games including opening day. Your girl will be beyond fine, it will be great. Don't put those stupid ass headphones on her but you should avoid the pregame fireworks, they're excessively loud.

Good point. I generally like the Timbers because I think our fanbases are quite similar.  That said, it is easy to forget how self-entitled they have been in the past. I think I'll downgrade them on my MLS likeability scale.

Thing is his card history isn't outrageous he's just had a couple of high profile incidences. Apparently he's only had 2 red cards his entire career and neither was a straight red.

Dom shouldn't be in the middle of that wall. Tall players in the middle, short guys on the sides. Also Melia was wayyyyy to far to the side. I get that you have to trust your wall to take away one side, but if he's a little more in the middle of the goal he might get a hanf to it.

Awful defending last night. Dia  :blank:

penalty call missed (Dom fouled) was 100% a penalty. Kinnear just admitted during his sideline interview that he thinks it was a PK. so was the correctly called penalty that went against us.

No doubt we should have had the win. Another frustrating result.  Some positives though:

Sinovic looked good in his return

Zusi at right back was quite good

Medranda showed some flashes that I liked

Cuehlo and Opara played well for the most part. They did have some turnovers that made me slap my head

I thought Feilhaber was pretty bad last night. In fact, he seems to be slumping.  He needs to bust out of that and get back to being awesome again.

Benny didn't look good last night from my perspective outside of a few moves and passes. I did think Zusi looked good and i liked the 5-4-1ish formation we had going last night.

Post by: bonercat on May 02, 2016, 10:25:18 AM
A lot of people are unhappy with Dom lately.  But here's the thing, he's got no one to play off of up front.  He's essentially on an island and has to create on his own (which he's had ups and downs doing in his career).  The thing is, Medranda and Hallisey have had many moments where they are near the goal with a chance to shoot or pass it off and always end up bungling it up.  We need someone else up front badly. Losing Nemeth, as many of us knew, has once again limited our offensive effectiveness.

The bright side is that it took a while last year for Nemeth to turn it on. So hopefully we'll figure something out soon

It's pretty simple, we don't have any creators.  It's pretty hard to win at any level of soccer when you don't have players that can put the ball in the back of the net and not rely entirely on chances off of set pieces.

We had a marginal offensive threat last season.  Losing Németh was an absolute death blow.

Apparently Gruenebaum's nickname is "The Hebrew Hammer." :love:

"Hebrew Hammer" > "White Puma" amirite?

The Hebrew Hammer is going to be very good for us.

Total stud. Going to win the starting job for sure. Great personality too.

What a flipping joke. Now that Trapp has been wrecked mentally, the Crew will be a dumpster fire for the remainder of the year.  New England getting THE best aerial striker in the league by far is a boon for them. Pairing him with Nguyen and Tierney is a fantastic move by New England, who already have capable forwards on the roster.

The Crew is F'd

I would really enjoy it if SKC could get a fair shake from an MLS ref where the moment didn't get too big for them to make the right call.  The best example of it going SKC's way is an early handball no call a couple weeks ago (right?).  But we have consistently seen these refs choke on a whistle instead of making the right, obvious call.

FC Dallas beats LAG 2-1 in extra time, will host the Revs on the USOC final. Extra time and playing their best XI was good news for SKC's visit down there on Saturday, which I'm buzzing for. scottwildcat and sunny_cat away days are always a ball and I'm going to go Green Street Hooligan on these FC Dallas fans.

Drank way too much yesterday but had an absolute ball. Not nearly as many sporting fans as the last time I came down but still a good contingent. They didn't place us next to the Mexican FC Dallas supporters group this time so nothing was being thrown at us and nobody tried to come at us after the game. I couldn't imagine how horrors the atmosphere there must be for games with no away fans. Their fans made no noise unless we were singing songs digging at them. All in all will take the 2-2 draw, and Dom is a super stud in more than one way. Go sporting, go cats!

That was gross, in every way. Connor Hallisey is the worst regular player we've had in the SKC era and he was far and away the best player we had last night. How many times did he pull back runs he had because he was scared to take a player on one-v-one? Last night gave me an appreciation of how much better the good players of the league are than the rank and file and usl players. In that same vane it also showed me how terrible Vancouver is. That was their A team versus SKC'c C or D team and despite the score there didn't appear to be much separating those teams.

Oh and :ROFL: at that referee

I really wish PV and Robb would stfu about how they care about CCL, and value every competition, because this year shows that couldn't be even further from the truth. Just say that the main focus is trying to compete in league play and that you're going to use the other competitions to get playing time for other players. CCL could be a very fun competition if teams would take it seriously, or there was more incentive from MLS or CONCACAF to compete.

They haven't put a full strength squad in any of the cup matches all season, be it CCL or LHUSOC after they constantly preach about wanting to win everything. I understand why they do what they do but don't blatantly lie about it.

About a month ago I heard Vermes on 810 and without out and out saying it he basically stated that before the competition started the organization decided to punt on it. There were a couple of decisions that CONCACAF made that made the competition difficult on MLS teams, he didn't say what that was. He also said that CONCACAF allowed Vancouver to change the schedule that was initially put together ava CONCACAF allowed this change to bee made despite objections from SKC.

Long story short, I think they have proven in the past that they take CCL seriously but this season CONCACAF did some things to make the club essentially say, no thanks.

So this Wednesday match is interesting. Before anyone entertained the possibility of SPR being in the championship game we just laughed about SKC throwing a USL line up out there. Now what? You would think they won't be playing anything close to a full USL roster. I would think this would be a hybrid of SKC and SPR bench players but does Sporting have very many of those with all of the injuries?
Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: sunny_cat on October 17, 2016, 12:39:22 AM
Roster will be stretched thin for sure. Alvarado and Kempin will start for SKC. That's about all I can predict. Naga probably since JP is supposed to be back for next Sunday. Olum/Opara is my CB guess.

Okay, a lot to unpack here.
1. Since gE has been around this is the fifth, seriously fifth, round of Kraft "talking" about building a SSS.
2. I've heard people in Boston say that Kraft really doesn't want to build a SSS. Not only does he own the Revs and Pats and Gillette, but he owns the parking lots and the commercial development around Gillette. They don't do great but he keeps all of the money, everything, why would he give that away? I've been told he'll build if he doesn't have to pay for it.
3. That UMASS Boston site is terrible, not as bad as Foxboro but still really bad, hard for most in the area to access.

Drew Moor who was apart of the first ever MLS Free Agent Class beats the GK

Pressure on Lodeiro told the team he's going 5th and smashes it upper 90

4-4

As much as I can't stand him Stefan Frei was the man of the match and the entire playoffs for them. He stole three different matches in the playoffs. That save on the Jozy header was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen.

Bradley and Giovinco were the goats. That pk was a joke, I have no doubts that multiple people itt would have made a better strike and others itt could have made that save. Giovinco was a complete ghost last night, he didn't do anything. Then not being able to finish the buffets biggest match of his professional career because of fitness is inexcusable.

^^for the young kids he meant goats as a bad thing

Obviously sunny, but that was honestly the second worst penalty I've ever seen, just behind Ridgewell against us last year. And as far as Giovinco goes it was very frustrating to watch him last night. He wasn't active at all, didn't take any initiative. He just stood up top and waited for a mid to bomb a ball to him. I don't know how to, or don't really care to, find his Audi Player Index for last night but I guarantee you its the lowest he had all season. Betishore was very active, he was all over the place. It would have been nice for the best player in the league to not look like Chris Pontius in the final.

It's only the soccer people themselves.  The news and normal people are calling it a parade.

And it's going the opposite way I thought it'd go, so I probably won't mix it up, at least not for the main part of it.  I might be able to get some #coverage of the beginning.

Expansion draft today. Bye bye Jake, I'll miss you :cry:
Here's the list of players
http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/12/12/2016-mls-expansion-draft-protected-and-unprotected-lists

A couple of things on this, MLS needs to close up some loopholes with this. I know Brad Davis is on SKC's unprotected list but like half of LA's list are retired guys, while other have teams with retired guys on the ineligible list.

Speaking of the ineligible list EPB is on ours but he isn't listed as being out on loan, has his loan expired? Will he be in the mix here in the spring?

I get all of the channels so I'm not worried about that, I watch the cats on FSKC. I'm just hoping MLS doesn't block FSKC for Des Moines, I'm sure it will be fine though.

We just signed Ilie Sánchez, former member of the Barcelona academy, made his professional debut for Barcelona B, got sold to Munich 1860, where he was loaned to La Liga 2 side Elche. Seems to be a good buy of a player in prime of his playing years who is a defensive minded central midfielder. Lots of business has been done by our Sporting boys recently.

https://whatahowler.com/the-pro-rel-manifesto-245d5597f2f8#.fwdzxm7vo

a very good and in-depth essay on pro-rel and how it would/could work in the US/Canada, gives pros and cons to all stake holders, and goes into a few scenarios of what it could look like.


I in theory am for pro-rel in American soccer. I have gone back and forth on this in my time being a fan of MLS. I think it would be good for the USSF and development of young players, and make games more meaningful when at the bottom of the table. After reading this essay i have never felt stronger about thinking it would be a good idea.

I have also never thought it would happen, and after reading the essay i have never felt stronger about thinking it would never happen. Even in this essay that tries to come up with pros for every stakeholder, no part of me felt convinced there is any upside for a current MLS owner/ownership group. I am interested in anyone else's thoughts. I think we have talked pro/rel before but this is the best piece I've ever read on it, and did make me think hard on it again.

The new color guy is the most British looking guy. He struggles doing pregame thoughts. The new girl is also struggling in pregame. FSNKC's picture quality and graphics are night and day better than the old tv deal.

Meh. Will take a draw I guess. Gerso is going to be a treat on the wing. Ilie is also the real deal. He will quietly be one of if not our best player this season.

Yeah, that guy looks exactly like what an American would cast as a Brit in a British comedy. The hair, teeth, and complexion, it was all so extra. That sideline reporter was brutal during the pregame and not much better during the match. I can't believe she's replacing Kacie and Jake, gah.

The match was a weird mix of meh, with some good action mixed in. The penalty call was butt, good on Tim to make it moot.

What a rough ridin' trash club.  I get parking the bus, but eff me Dallas is worthless.  And once again the refs allow a crap play to dictate the game's play.  Half the team on yellow and still fouling like mad.  I guess time wasting is still alive and well in the MLS for another season.

At the same time Sporting didn't improve enough in the final third. We had a few good opportunities but didn't make their keeper make any special plays. It's going to be a long season if we can't improve quickly

Post by: ednksu on March 11, 2017, 10:14:46 PM
I agree to some degree, but at one point around the 75th maybe, they had all 11 in their defensive third.  Kinda hard to break through that. 

I like Llie and it it seemed like Gerso is a step behind what others are doing, and that will come in due time.

But eff the refs need to do something about teams like Dallas.  You have to card them for time wasting and quit lecturing them.



Edit: I should learn to spell Ilie.

You think she knows the game well enough?  I couldn't tell if some of her generic questions were a broadcasting issue or game knowledge issue.  I admittedly don't know anything about her.
I loved her asking Peter and then Beas the same questions nearly back to back about parking the bus and what it can tell us.

Carroll has stayed local for her professional career, spending time as a sideline reporter for the Kansas City Chiefs, FC Kansas City and the Kansas City Comets.

Born in New York and raised in Kansas City, Carroll played college soccer at the University of Northern Iowa before working toward a master’s degree from the University of Missouri – Kansas City. As a youth player, Carroll spent time in the Olympic Development Program in Kansas while playing soccer at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park.

Since graduating from Northern Iowa, Carroll has spent eight years coaching youth soccer in Kansas City, and has coached the Kansas Olympic Development Program for one year. Carroll currently holds a U.S. Soccer Federation E License.

In her role with the Kansas City Chiefs, Carroll worked with the NFL Play 60 youth outreach program and also served as a Community Correspondent to help promote the club throughout the city. Carroll won an Emmy Award in 2015 for her “Chiefs Cheerleader Calendar Special” piece.

Bastian Schweinsteiger signs with Chicago Fire from Manchester United


Bastian Schweinsteiger is set to be the latest big name to join Major League Soccer.
World Cup winner Bastian Schweinsteiger has completed a move to join the Chicago Fire, the Major League Soccer club confirmed to the Chicago Tribune on Monday night.

The Manchester United midfielder has been a long-term target for Chicago, having been spotted meeting with Fire manager Veljko Paunovic in November.

And with the former Germany star out of Jose Mourinho's plans at Old Trafford, he could join up with the Fire as early as next week, pending only a visa and a medical, the Tribune reported.

"We're adding someone who has won at every level, including the very highest levels, and has done so in a way that is consistent with our values," Fire general manager Nelson Rodriguez told the paper.

"We as a club will now be forced to hold ourselves to a higher standard, an accountability level. Previously, I think we could satisfy ourselves with what is known domestically. Now we need to rise to a standard that is set more internationally."

Schweinsteiger signed a designated player contract that will give pay him $4.5 million in 2017, according to the Tribune, which also said the deal is for one year with a mutual option for the future.

A former Bayern Munich legend, Schweinsteiger joined Man United in 2015 but has been restricted to just 18 appearances for the club after falling out of favour with Mourinho in the summer of 2016.

The 32-year-old was told he was free to find another club, but despite interest from the MLS, China and Italy, Schweinsteiger opted to stay at United and fight for his place, at the same time as training away from the first team with the club's youngsters.

After scoring against Wigan in the FA Cup on Jan. 29, Schweinsteiger has only made one substitute appearance for United in the Europa League on Feb. 22.

"Throughout my career, I've always sought opportunities where I hoped to make a positive impact and to help make something great," Schweinsteiger said in a statement the Fire provided to the Tribune.

"My move to Chicago Fire is no different. Through my conversations with Nelson and [coach Veljko Paunovic], I'm convinced by the club's vision and philosophy and I want to help them with this project."

The Fire have finished with the lowest point total in MLS the past two seasons and have only played in one playoff game since reaching the conference finals in 2009.

Schweinsteiger will join forwards David Accam and Nemanja Nikolic as DPs with Chicago, which also moved to add midfielders Dax McCarty and Juninho in the offseason.

The Fire have started the 2017 season with a win, a draw, and a defeat, most recently losing 4-0 to expansion side Atlanta United on Saturday.

USL is launching in 2019 and operating a Division 3 league. Only 8 clubs will be required, minimum stadium capacity is 1,000 (compared to 5,000 for D2), lead owner must own at least 35% of the team, and have a net worth of $10m. I will be interested to see what happens here. I wonder if MLS/USL will allow clubs with an MLS and USL club to also have a 3rd club put in this new 3rd Division/Division 3 league.

Saint Louis' MLS dreams died last night when 58,000 voters voted NO 53% to 47% on a half-cent business use tax to fund $60m for a downtown Saint Louis SSS. This will likely end the STL bid and mean it won't be an option until they eventually are awarding teams 29-32

amazing game all around. Dom's passing and movement was excellent. His first touch was garbage though. The post game surely was Tim Howard being a baby back bitch because the Cauldron and South Stand got in his head, and i'm sure Dom said something to him, because he's a little crap and probably does that to all keepers, Howard included.

Good stuff from the Cauldron. 

Nice to see a couple games where SKC has gotten a few goals.  Shame the Dallas game spoiled a bit in between.  Gerso is looking better and better. Hopefully Dom settles a bit more as he should have had 2 or maybe 3 last night.  But he wouldn't have been nearly as close to those goals at the beginning of the season.

My prevailing thought when I saw it was "too bad the people holding that can't see how badass that is." They also had trouble unveiling the top, thankfully tv was able to stay on the shot long enough for them to get it fully unveiled.

Also props to you mocat and anyone else who sat/stood through that. I'd much rather watch a game in the temps we had for the MLS Cup than what that looked like last night, absolutely gross.

That was unbelievably fun. Someone should have got in Bendek's face when that game was over. Whether they were diving or not, he shouldn't be allowed to get in the faces of guys like that without repercussion.

Post by: scottwildcat on May 14, 2017, 09:53:44 AM
I didn't think any "dive" was bad. The only one I truly thought was a "dive" was when Blessing got his yellow, but he sprung right back up and didn't roll around looking for a call. Didn't think that deserved a card imo.

He got fined for the first one and it was pretty bad, he looked like Bradley Beal. The fine is pretty small, they are three figures I'm pretty sure it's a scale of 250/500/750.

Major League Soccer today unveiled the fan ballot for the 2017 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target, which features eight representatives from all 22 teams as nominated by media. The following Sporting Kansas City players are eligible for fan voting:

Goalkeeper: Tim Melia
Defenders (3): Matt Besler, Ike Opara, Graham Zusi
Midfielders (2): Roger Espinoza, Benny Feilhaber
Forwards (2): Dom Dwyer, Gerso


Ilie and Sinovic got screwed. Ilie has definitely been better than Roger and Benny; he's in the conversation with Melia and Ike for the team MVP so far.

Stejskal: Five snubs who should've made USA's preliminary Gold Cup roster
June 4, 20174:00PM EDT
Sam Stejskal
Contributor






The US men’s national team’s 40-man preliminary roster for this summer’s Gold Cup dropped on Saturday night, with 32 MLS players named to a squad that will eventually be culled to 23 before CONCACAF’s June 27 deadline.

It’s hard to have too many quibbles with a roster so big, and while I absolutely love a few of the call-ups oscar Arena gave to fringe players – I thought Jesse Gonzalez, Justin Morrow, Kelyn Rowe and Jonathan Spector were all particularly deserving – I do think there were a few snubs.

Just to be totally clear, that group doesn’t include first-teamers like Geoff Cameron, DeAndre Yedlin, John Brooks or Bobby Wood. Their exclusions weren’t snubs – just Arena giving some time off to crucial players ahead of their European campaigns.

With that out of the way, let’s dive in. Here are five players who didn’t make the cut that I would’ve liked to see on the Gold Cup preliminary roster:

5 – Lee Nguyen


I thought long and hard about putting Sacha Kljestan in this spot for his recent success against CONCACAF foes and obvious chemistry with Dax McCarty and Christian Pulisic (remember those qualifiers last September?), but couldn’t justify taking him when Lee Nguyen has been so much more effective in MLS this year. The Revolution playmaker has six goals and seven assists in just 15 games and is fully in form, having racked up two goals and four assists in his last five games. He’s never had much success with the national team, but hasn’t ever really had much of a shot, either. It would’ve been interesting to see the talented 30-year-old get an extended run at the Gold Cup.

4 – Tim Melia

A league pool goalkeeper less than three years ago, Tim Melia’s ascent to one of the top backstops in the league is one of the more underrated stories in MLS. The Sporting KC man leads the league with eight shutouts, a 0.67 goals against average and a 78.6 save percentage. He’s been superlative this year and certainly earned a call to the preliminary roster, even if it’s hard to argue against any of Arena’s six selections in net. 
3 – Christian Ramirez


Christian Ramirez has had a pretty solid transition from NASL into MLS, leading the Loons and sitting in a tie with CJ Sapong for first among Americans with eight goals in 14 league games. The 26-year-old Minnesota United FC striker has scored at a solid rate everywhere he’s played, and I think the Gold Cup would’ve been a great time for his introduction to the national team. As it stands, he’ll likely have to wait until at least January for his first call-up.

2 – Danny Williams

Lose the Championship Playoff Final in heartbreaking fashion, then fail to earn a spot on the preliminary roster for the Gold Cup. Yeah, Danny Williams had a rough week. He can take solace in the fact that his play for Reading – where he tallied four goals in 44 appearances as a box-to-box midfielder this season – absolutely merited a place on this roster. If he can continue his solid form in the fall, perhaps in the Premier League, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him earn a World Cup qualifying call or two.
1 – Ike Opara


Matt Besler has been really solid this year, has a load of international experience and will bring a calming veteran presence to the Gold Cup, but he hasn’t even been the best center back on Sporting KC in 2017. That honor would go to Ike Opara, who’s putting together another excellent start for Peter Vermes and SKC. As SKC teammate and Honduran international Roger Espinoza noted in May, Opara has all the requisite qualities to be a successful international center back.

“He’s a guy who could play at that level,” Espinoza told our Steve Brisendine last month. “He wouldn’t have to change anything. He’s played against some great forwards – from Europe, from South America, from Central America, from Africa. His speed, his ability to win balls, to pass the ball, the way he reads the game – he could play anywhere.” 

It would’ve been nice to see the 28-year-old – who has been snakebit by injuries throughout his career – get a shot this summer. Now, like Ramirez, he’ll probably have to wait until at least January for his next chance at a call-up.

Whose guy is this man?! 

What do youz guyz think to this claim, if Opara doesn't have 2 seasons ended by horrid injuries does he play on the USMNT and get more pub?  Seems like these last few games (and season before) we're really seeing what he can do.

I know I am biased a.f. but I didn't think that was a penalty. Yes, there was contact but I don't think that was a foul if it happened at midfield. That didn't appear to be enough contact for that guy to go down.

Also the production of that "broadcast" was just so Houston awful and gross. Do they even want to be or act like a major league sports franchise?

yeah it was close. I just enjoyed that they had an argument for one and didn't get it. And I was still buzzing from Ike's header.

Also was Houston facing a 90% stadium ban or something like in Russia or Italy? What an embarrassing display from their fans.

Even missing half our back line (and I hope Opara is 100%) the defense shut down a very potent offense.  I would say a full squad wins.  A point was nice, not great, not bad. 
Ilie continues to impress me, just really solid, does a lot of things well and seems to have integrated into a real leader.  Of course Gerso and Blessing (improving) have been a revelation.

so, i watched the game on my phone because my stupid laptop wasn't working, and i had a late night at the office, so i couldn't go.

This team was absolutely amazing during the 90 playing a man down the entire time and kept it clean. I hope Ike is okay, he should be able to leave KU Med some time today.

Latif is amazing, and is already close to becoming a club legend in my book with his game last night. We need to break the bank to resign EPB to a 5 year deal. The kid is amazing. Roger played really well, and Benny was an absolute world changing sub in ET.


Draw is on Friday to see if we host the semis or not, and possibly will find out who will host the final. Semi will be on August 9th, final on September 20

A lot of fun.  Rollercoaster of emotion in extra time.  Although many Sporting fans will disagree, I don't have any hard feelings towards Urruti.  A horrific injury but I didn't think there was any intent and he seemed genuinely upset. 

I don't know about Blessing being a club legend but last night was a legendary game for him.

Melia deserves a spot on the Mocat's studs list.

absolutely nobody has hard feelings for Urruti.

you're right about Melia; i just take for granted now that if he has a reasonable chance to get to a ball, he will get to it. he had some huge moderately difficult saves that were overshadowed by immediate skc counters. at least that's how i remember it.

i don't think anyone who's seen a replay of the play and have removed themselves of the emotion in the moment actually have hard feelings towards Urruti.

Benny had a ridiculous, shocking, really, 5 minutes. I've seen subs come in fresh and look faster than everyone, he looked like he was playing against high school kids, that was absolutely nuts.

I hope Ike doesn't play again until after the all-star game. That is the type of concussion that could end his career, just like Taylor Twellman. This guy is horrifically unlucky. Hopefully he can come back before the end of the season and be fine, I think he will be a prime selection for a call up for the fall WCQs, I thought he had an outside chance of being called up for the knockout round of the Gold Cup. I hope he gets his rightful selection for the all-star game and then Besler gets to be a replacement for Ike.

Latif acted like a complete donkey late last night, and Harris was right to chop him down. I thought it was hilarious that he asked to swap jerseys with Harris and Harris gave his up but didn't want latif's.

I understand that the AAN has moved away from it, and probably for good reason if people were using a simple scale as a diagnostic tool or as a means for deciding when people should return to activity.  For the purposes of a press release, I think grade 3 works a bit better then "sketti brains."

The thing they're finding is that no matter how "bad" the concussion is, the time table for recovery is relatively the same. Repeated concussions and prolonged symptoms are the measures of severity and those are not changed by how hard the contact is.

Calling it a severe or grade 3 concussion at this point is using expired ways of thinking and contributes to the public misconceptions about head trauma.

Yes, Latif's actions were a little out of line, but let's remember he's a kid getting his first taste of any type of international exposure. It's really not that different IMHO than the college kids that showboat a little too much in garbage time basketball or football games. And I'm sure most of us would tell someone to tuck in their shirt a little deeper if we complained about that.
Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: MakeItRain on July 12, 2017, 04:51:55 PM
It isn't really the showboating that got me, it was unnecessary but whatever, it was handled. I'm sick of his diving and feigning injury, it's shameful, and last night it was 100% completely unnecessary.
Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: ednksu on July 12, 2017, 05:07:17 PM
Eh plenty of people bitched about the late dunk KU had against us in garbage time.  There are reasonable limits across sport to showboating. 


And Joda not to go too far down the concussion rabbit hole, lets remember it's a press release from the team, not a quote from his doctors on the injury.  I'm sure they are just meaning it to tell people that he got hurt really, really bad. 
As far as the scale system, I wonder if the issue became too many people using the scale to justify grade 1s getting back too soon.  As you say, the more we learn, the more it's for shocking how much we need to learn, but also how individualistic the treatment needs to be.  The example MiR had of Twellman I think fits really well into what you're saying about repeated impacts never given an appropriate time frame to heal.  I think people are going to say getting kicked in the face is bad for your season, and aren't going to have a lesson to apply to the general public.
Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: joda on July 12, 2017, 06:35:19 PM
My problem is there is a serious lack of public awareness about the true nature of concussions and head impact and with it being a hot button topic everyone wants to talk about the misinformation and parrot it around as fact. And it being a team press release doesn't make it any better, the team is doing a disservice to their players and their medical staff to distribute information like that.

The reason we've gone away from the grading system isn't because it was being misused, it's because it has been shown to be an antiquated idea. Someone being knocked unconscious can have worse, the same, or better symptoms and outcome as someone who barely even noticed they got hit.

I know you didn't want this to be a concussion debate, but it is a subject I'm passionate about and I'm extremely disappointed in the organization for phrasing the report that way. The fact we are even talking about Twellman in this conversation proves the extent of misinformation out there. There are very few actual similarities between Twellman's case and Ike. Taylor, by his own admission had 7 concussions during his playing career. He also continued to play with the one that ultimately ended his career. Ike has only had one other concussion that I can readily find information on. That's not to say this one won't be a long term or even career ending one. We have no way of knowing unless we can see his medical records and find out he has a significant number of previous ones, or until we wait and see how this individual case reacts.

Hey no big debate here, I agree that there should be some degree of precision in reporting.  I think it's great to bring new information into the conversation.  If you could post some research about the point about severity not mattering as much I'd appreciate it.  My understanding was that severity matters on an individual level yes, but that the repeated nature of head injuries in contact sports and not staying out of activities were huge factors in the recovery.  There was a sports ball player last year that was out half the season it seemed with concussion symptoms.  Was it Luck or another QB?  Anyways, it seemed like a decent hit, and a long road to recovery.  Oh and Dale Jr who was out forever with his concussion.  The thing that I always worry about now with head injuries is the number that are unreported or subconcussive hits that people don't recognize as a major issue and ignore it.  Hell for that matter when we see major injuries like Case Keenum and they're still ignored.  I got the impression with TT's concussions that some of them were unreported or under treated and that he had a high susceptibility to concussions.   

And I feel your passion.  At 35, with a crap memory, and random headaches from playing soccer and getting some head injuries, it scares the eff out of me what damage I could have done.

Because Orlando is so obsessed with Dom that they would put together a great package that probably includes their spot in the allocation order, a nice transfer fee, GAM/TAM, and while I love Dom as much if not more than anyone else, he does only have 5 goals this season. If we could some how use this transfer and parlay it into getting to the number one spot in the allocation order and we brought back KN9 i think we should do it. Also keep in mind, Dom turned down a nice contract extension this off season.

this will give us the opportunity to lock up EPB, but i wouldn't bet on it. Also, i'm fine with how we've sold players. With the salary cap and how we've acumulated allocation money we have done very good business. If we let EPB walk that will be the only real bad piece of business we've done since letting Roger go to Wigan on a free, but that was a good look for the franchise showing we're willing to let players go out and chace their dreams in Europe.

we are selling Dom to Orlando, and while there is nothing official it seems like it is just a matter of time.

i know that much thanks scott. can you explain why we would even consider that, given where we are in the standings rn?

Because Orlando is so obsessed with Dom that they would put together a great package that probably includes their spot in the allocation order, a nice transfer fee, GAM/TAM, and while I love Dom as much if not more than anyone else, he does only have 5 goals this season. If we could some how use this transfer and parlay it into getting to the number one spot in the allocation order and we brought back KN9 i think we should do it. Also keep in mind, Dom turned down a nice contract extension this off season.

from what i have heard, K9 left no bridge unburnt on his way out

KN9 did leave a bit of smoke on his way out, and we weren't happy with him, but there has been a few legit people who have stated we have interest in bringing him home, and he's made comments about wanting to come back

^those numbers are a league record, so swc was correct

The previous record was $600,000 this is/will be/was $1.1 million more than the previous record, they couldn't turn that down. Orlando's continued obsession with Dommight be thestrangest thing in professional sports.

Their fans are the far and away trashiest and weirdest in MLS and they latched onto him like a leach when he dominated shitty USL teams when he was there on loan.

also, if we every see pro/rel at the top flight, it won't be due to court mandate, and it won't be rolling in NASL/USL and existing leagues into a pyramid. It would be an MLS and MLS2 still done exclusively with clubs that buy into the MLS structure, and that also will not happen.

Yeah while there are a handful of NASL and USL teams that draw well, almost all of them would be mocked if they were MLS attendance numbers, and more than half of the current MLS clubs would have less than 30% to capacity attendance if they went down to MLS2/NASL/USL

Yup, which is why I find it so damn funny NASL is trying to sue their way into a top division path.

Honestly if anything, NASL should be spearheading an effort to break USL and MLS's partnership and create a pyramid below MLS including NASL, USL, USL2, PDL, and the Canadian Premier league. Their best way to prove their concept would be to create the model they want independent of MLS and hope that drives something.

Agreed, but there are gonna be some hurdles to get over. The stadium's gonna be out in bumblefuck by the airport away from everyone and anything, there's no transit nearby and traffic's gonna be nuts, the fans are wary after getting crap on twice by ownership, etc. But the fact that we'll have a permanent stadium with an option to sell beer (which wasn't there when the Aztex were playing in HS stadiums) is a really nice start.

Also there's supposedly a different group separate from Aztex ownership that are trying to bring profesh soccer here so maybe that's a separate MLS effort, who knows. They'll need to get a bigger stadium closer to downtown confirmed before we have a shot at making the jump though. Downtown real estate is probably too expensive right now to fund a stadium with private money and voters aren't gonna go for public funding so I don't think we can replicate Houston's setup. So they'll probably need to put a stadium up by the Domain (northwest but inside the 183/290 loop) or Mueller (northeast but also inside the loop). Our biggest suburbs Round Rock and Cedar Park, where our baseball, basketball, and hockey minor league teams are, aren't gonna be an option because MLS will just see another FC Dallas/Frisco situation there.

Houston wouldn't be empty if they hadn't been shitty the last few years. If they start winning consistently attendance will likely go up. Their stadium's in a great location.

FCD's kinda mumped because nobody's gonna go to Frisco to watch soccer.

Also the MLS schedule is complete dumbassery anyway.

These are good takes. I hope FCD one day gets a stadium with an indoor roof downtown. That'll probably help attendance quite a bit.

I went to the SKC @ FCD game right after I moved down here. I didn't realize until then just how long it takes to get to Frisco from literally anywhere but N Dallas. I would absolutely go to rando games but it takes up most of the day just getting there and back, and heaven help you if you decide you don't want to pay tolls :blindfold:

My God what a great interview, Ilie is the best, I've fallen in love.

August 18th, 2017 Sporting KC midfielder Ilie Sanchez joined the Program to discuss the terror attacks in his hometown of Barcelona plus preview the Sporting upcoming match vs FC Dallas.

i brought it up. not much to really go crazy about though. he'll be in the academy this year, and probably next year, maybe SPR, we may see him as an actual possible contributor on the senior team in 2019. While him making his debut this year or next as a late sub just to say we played a 15/16 year old could happen, there will be nothing tangible from this kid for probably at least 2 more years.

That is great film. Honestly I wish we would create a real residency program and offer homegrown contracts to anyone in our footprint who has a shot at playing professionally or even going D1 and start pumping tons of time and money into that program. It's that type of stuff all American clubs need to do to move the senior national team forward, and what Sporting will need to do when they eventually abolish the salary cap 5-10-15 years down the road.

I think Peter always wanted to use Gerso as a sub to punish tired legs in the second half and he saw Lobato as a way to implement that. It's frustrating. We will probably see that again on Saturday, but I believe that Gerso will be starting the cup final

Post by: scottwildcat on September 12, 2017, 07:33:57 AM

because Manchester City, just like Chelsea acquire young talent and use them like commodities. Chelsea bought Matt Miazga a couple windows ago and have no intentions of him every featuring as a real piece of the team (although he did play a few games before loaning him out the last two seasons). City will loan him around for the 2018-19 season, probably the 2019-20 season, and then sell him on for a profit. I think EPB will command a big price after a few years in the European Loan circuit and end up at a middle tier European club and go on to have an amazing career.

Is the big 12 bball tournament a championship?  There's your answer.

Except schools like Fort Hays State and Colorado School of the Mines are also playing in the tournament, correct?
So maybe the Dance is a better analog since the Patriot league gets 'their guy' in.

Except the dance with D2 teams in January.

Why isn't this just the playoffs? And why doesn't American soccer have promotion/relegation?

the us open cup has been around since 1913.

there is no relegation because it would be catastrophic to any relegated club in the US.

Yeah, the US Open Cup has been going on for over 100 years.

The US doesn't have Pro/Rel for millions of reasons, the biggest reason it will never have pro/rel in my opinion is because owners bought into a closed system single entity franchise and now teams are paying hundreds of millions to earn a franchise and the value of those franchise immediately are tanked when you don't have the promise of staying at the top level of the sport.

Post by: ednksu on September 21, 2017, 05:53:19 PM
Fan I think part of the reason I went with the Big 12 tourney is because it's important for teams once they get a couple rounds into the tournament.  Additionally some teams view it as their chance to get into the dance, or with soccer a higher profile and a chance at other tournaments.  Some teams really don't put their effort into the Cup until they get to the later rounds because it risks their players for post season a bit.  So if you're a KSU, ISU, or Texas you might try once you get into the semis or finals, but if you are a lock for the Dance and you are dealing with stuff you might not go full bore in the conference tourney when you are holding for the Dance.

As others have said, this tournament is a bit more important then January basketball, especially once you get towards the end.

Yeah a lot here thought the move was going nowhere.  I think it's interesting how the USSF and MLS are acting without regard for FIFA rules with their various waivers, as I understand it.  I think promotion relegation would be tough, but the soccer model we have is definitely going the way of the big sports ownership model we have in the US and I'm not sure that is best for the sport here.  For as much as Twellman was jerking of Cinci during the LHC championship it would be nice to see special teams who can make it for a few years get on the main stage.   
Ultimately, I don't think this lawsuit will do much in reality.  The USSF might have to cool it on waivers and on paper make it look like they are playing nice with the NASL.

While I think in a perfect world being able to snap our fingers and have a viable 5 tier professional pro/rel system with SSS and die hard support good ownership and full time academy programs from coast to coast in big and small cities like in Europe I don't think the franchise model is overly detrimental for soccer in America.

Quote
Like his countryman and former teammate on Barcelona’s B team, Ilie Sanchez, Lobato very rarely loses the ball, which fits perfectly into Sporting Kansas City’s evolution to a more possession oriented side.

You can say the same about me, I also rarely lose the ball when I play a MLS match. I've had the ball at my feet almost as much as Lobato.

Quote
but that important goal was illustrative of his cleverness and alertness of space. In the 19th minute of an eventual 1-1 draw at Columbus on September 10, Lobato spies the last defender deeper than his cohorts, runs into space allotted horizontally to stay onside, and then finishes when the same defender fails to clear the ball sent forward. It was a smart run, not one that all players would see or attempt.

 :ROFL: this would work ten years ago when like 5 MLS games were televised a year, unfortunately for the author every person reading that article saw the match and know exactly how he got that goal.

an 18 year old stadium that is far and away the worst SSS in MLS. A stadium that isn't filled anymore.

And i agree, i doubt he gets a downtown stadium in Austin, and i think it's highly unlikely they publicly fund it, but if they would he should make the best business decision for his investment, and if he is going to have to use his money, or private money to build a stadium, he and his investors should be able to choose where he does it, and as the owner of his franchise,as long as MLS approves, he should be able to play where he wants.

Precourt is a despicable snake. He did this right before the playoffs and while they are still actively negotiating because he's torpedoing the process. When he purchased the team he negotiated an out clause to move the team to Austin. He also reportedly owns the Austin propaganda MLS webpage. MLS also made trademark requests for an Austin franchise name, just in August.

Precourt was offered money to buy the team but he wouldn't sell, relocating the team costs him nothing, the expansion fee is $150 million.

Also before discussing how full the stadium is bear in mind Columbus is the smallest market but has no where close to the smallest stadium. For instance San Jose is more than 3 times bigger than Columbus but their stadium is 2000 seats smaller. Kansas City metro is more than 2 times bigger than Columbus but has a smaller stadium; Denver, DC, Dallas, Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia are all stadiums either smaller or the same size as Mapfre with much much larger populations.

Don Garber is the biggest shithead in all of this, he shouldn't be allowing all of this to happen. He's screwing Columbus and frankly he's screwing the league by giving up the Austin market without getting that expansion fee.

He’s playing his cards to try to get the best possible deal he can. Doing this is better than announcing a move to Austin out of the blue isn’t it? Also when he bought the team he made the best offer to buy the franchise, and if the franchise is so important to the community why didn’t a local offer beat Precourt out?

Why should he sell if he doesn’t want to? Especially when he is about to increase the value of the franchise exponentially.

Their attendance has been on the steady decline for 5 plus years, as MLS is experiencing an attendance boom, even if you throw out the % to capacity number it is still in the bottom 4 attendance this year. The Columbus Franchise is one of the worst performing franchises financially

And Don Garber is looking out for the league. Moving from one of the worst markets, with one of the worst attendance in the worst SSS, to a larger market in a booming city is amazing for the league, and I KNOW you don’t believe that “screwing the league out of expansion fee” bull crap. That would be one thing if there was not enough viable cities battling for a franchise. MLS wouldn’t be seeing any less expansion revenue if they stay in Columbus or not.

Scott, no one is arguing that Precourt is doing what's best for him. Franchise owners would consistently act on their own behalf despite what's best for the league and the cities they are in, the commissioners of the other four leagues in this country understand this. Columbus needs a new stadium, Precourt should be.negotiating in good faith but he isn't doing that.

Letting him move this team to Austin is absolutely not in the best interest on the league, it's absurd to even suggest that. What's best for the league would be for an owner to pay the $150 million for that Austin market. If they truly believe it is a worthy market, I think everyone has doubts, they shouldn't have an issue securing that expansion fee. What's best for the league would be for them to help Columbus build a new stadium, if they can't do that, that team needs to be relocated to an already viable market like Cincinnati, Sacramento, or Chattanooga.

Also it looks like either Kansas City or Minnesota is moving east

Why is it better for the league to get an expansion fee for Austin than the league getting a fee from Sacramento?

It isn't but if you're moving a franchise, Sacramento is a safer bet than moving to Austin. If you're relocating to make more money wouldn't you move to the best bet to make money?

It’s about improving over the status quo which I believe Austin is an improvement over Columbus. Sacramento and Nashville are probably going to be the next two expansion cities anyways. Austin would only be taking a franchise away from Columbus and whatever city number 32 eventually was going to be, if you don’t Austin was going to be a part of the final expansion when that day came.

So many thoughts, just watched the game on DVR then watched ESPN's whip around coverage. It is amazing how good ESPN is at soccer, especially MLS soccer. On that note it is hilarious how awful the production is for SKC broadcasts, they don't give a shot at all. LOL at the halftime interview where Jillian, she's much better by the way, asks Peter about Benny and they cut off his answer and acted like it didn't happen.

On the field:
Ike's goal not withstanding, he was bad today, certainly in the first half. Diego was terrible again.

We have no shot at beating Houston, none. They match can last three days and we won't score more than a goal.

This team needs a difference making striker like Kanye needs a shrink. I'm tempted to say the team needs to be blown up but they only have one issue, it's a huge one but just one nonetheless. Clearly a group of complementary forwards does not make up for not having a guy. Hopefully that tam & gam money gets spent well.

Seattle is one of if not the most popular teams in MLS and plays in an NFL stadium. They are also very successful. Atlanta is a hot new expansion team that is maybe one of if not the best expansion franchise in league history. They started playing in GT’s stadium and now the Falcons. Atlanta is also a massive metro. Sporting Kansas City built their stadium the perfect sized stadium to foster demand of the product and a top atmosphere. I hope that gives insight to why those two franchises are seeing massive attendance numbers and why Sporting is where they are and still the cream of the crop

MLS is actually a league with world stars though, unlike the NWSL. It isn't right to pin the USMNT not qualifying for the World Cup on the supposed lack of quality in MLS. In actuality the growth of MLS is the biggest reason why we didn't qualify, CONCACAF is doing very well.

Tying the USWNT success to the NWSL would be equally ridiculous. As the NWSL and the women's EPL grow, the women's game around the world has grown to the detriment of total US dominance.

I feel bad for Columbus as we had a similar thing happen to us with Orlando. Especially with how they're rough ridin' over their fans over not refunding the 2018 season tickets. The owner seems like a shithead and that's not exactly a great footing to start out on.

That said if he gets us our first pro team ever and keeps it there, all will be forgotten in time. I'm guessing they'll put the stadium over by where the Austin American-Statesman building is. That's the only real piece of downtown real estate left. I'm also curious how this is going to impact the timeline of the supposed return of the USL franchise to FC Barcelona's stadium at their training facility by the Circuit of the Americas track (waaaaaaaaaaay southeast of downtown, think FCD and Frisco in terms of distance).

Apparently the preferred site for the new stadium is Butler Park area, just west of Lamar.

Hopefully the idea for a USL stadium out at COTA dies a horrible death because everything about COTA sucks, and the location of the current pitch sucks, and the idea of trying to put a stadium around it sucks.

I'm done grieving. I can't believe I let this team do this to me, I said it was going to happen. I spent the entire match waiting for it to happen, I still allowed them to let me down.

This was peak 2017 SKC. Amazing defense, indecisive forwards, disallowed goal, Rubio flopping all over the turf, even a saved penalty. Honestly, I would have rather missed the playoffs than have gone through the same damn thing for the fourth year in a row.

I keep hearing people mention that he's had more goals than Dwyer since the trade, SO THE HELL WHAT???

Don gave this team bite. He held the ball up. Although Diego did hold it up nicely once last night, first time all season btw, he literally gives this team nothing unique that any other MLS striker wouldn't.

I'm not saying that they shouldn't have done the trade, but Diego definitely didn't work out and it is undeniable that this team would more likely have been benefited more than hurt if the trade wasn't made. Dom was a finisher, he could put the team on his back, none of the five rotating players we had up top had that capability. We know Dom can do it because he did it just last season.

Gerso does a great job getting behind the defense and doing nothing with it.  I used to like him a lot more than I do now.

My solace this year is that they largely deserved to lose.  Was frustrating watching officials blow games in the past.

Agree with Scott's changes and the swag comment.  Needed someone to light a fire and nobody had it last night.  Needed more creativity than firing a lot of those shots from outside the box.

He was fun to watch but he was never going to be the every game scorer that this team needs. Given the foursome of Latif, Daniel, Gerso, and Diego; Latif was the least durable and most expendable of the four.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd rather have Lobato long term. Latif is best as a late game sub but Salloi and Gerso are better than Blessing at that too.

I'll tell you this, if Latif gets significant playing time with LAFC, doubt it, he'll become the most hated player in MLS.

Quote
What has been reported since Monday became official on Wednesday afternoon, when Atlanta United the completion of a record-breaking move for iconic Portland Timbers midfielder Darlington Nagbe.

Atlanta sent a potential total of $1.65 million in allocation money to Portland to acquire Nagbe, who has spent all seven of his professional seasons with the Timbers. Portland defender Gbenga Arokoyo will also join Atlanta as part of the deal.

Although that figure depends on contract incentives, it has the potential to be the most allocation money ever exchanged in a single tade, exceeding the total of up to $1.6 million involved in Orlando City SC's move to pry Dom Dwyer from Sporting Kansas City last summer.

Portland receives $1.05 million in General Allocation Money, at least $300,000 in Targeted Allocation Money, and a 2018 international roster spot as part of the deal.

Nagbe has made at least 27 league appearances in all seven of his MLS campaigns since he was selected as the second overall pick of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft during Portland's expansion year. More recently, the Liberian-born Nagbe has become a regular fixture in the US national team since receiving his citizenship in 2015.

Nagbe won one MLS Cup title with Portland in 2015, and although he will be remembered as part of the US group that failed to reach the 2018 FIFA World Cup, he was also with the Yanks during their 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup triumph.

But a combination of reported increased salary demands and the sudden departure of coach Caleb Porter appeared to open the way for a move to an Atlanta side that has immediately established itself as one of the league's glamour clubs in its expansion 2017 campaign.

Nagbe at times has been plagued by frustrations from those who believe his obvious skill should translate to more offensive production than 27 goals and 30 assists over his league career. But he has also evolved into a deeper midfield role, particularly on the international level, and would not face a burden to produce up top on an Atlanta team already laden with attacking talent.

Atlanta's South American trio of Josef Martinez, Hector Villalba and Miguel Almiron combined for 41 league goals in 2017, more than D.C. United, Orlando City, the San Jose Earthquakes and Colorado Rapids scored as a team over their respective campaigns.

The Five Stripes are looking to build on their Knockout Round playoff appearance, and have already added two South American defenders in Argentine 22-year-old Franco Escobar and Venezuelan 20-year-old Jose Hernandez. The addition of Nagbe, along with the return of veteran Jeff Larentowicz, gives Atlanta veteran, talented MLS presence just in front of a backline that improved over the second half of last season to allow 40 goals overall in league play.

Portland may be in for a partial rebuild in a new coach's image following a disappointing loss in the Western Conference Semifinals. Darren Mattocks went to D.C. United in a trade on Sunday, and fellow striker Fanendo Adi has been linked to a potential move to China. The Timbers have yet to announce a replacement for Porter, though reports have former MetroStars and Venezuela striker Giovanni Savarese as the favorite to land the job.

You guys give up on MLS?

This has been an insane week. SAS traded and I'm pissed about it. How many more years are they expecting to get out of Zusi? Then they sign a DP, who looks like an eventual replacement for Benny. I'm confused, are we replacing core players or not?

I also want to talk about these additions, Khiry Shelton and this French DP. Why do we keep adding these projects? Why can other clubs sign bonafied goal scorers, sure fire guys, but we can't? Nicolic, Martinez, Almiron, Villalba, Ola Kamara, Mendunjanin, etc. are all dudes we could have had. Is the ownership cheap, are the scouts bad, both?

I'm reading about all these moves, and I'll be honest, I don't know enough about the league rules to comment, especially with the expansion draft.  I've seen people say that some of the moves were the result of protecting some core players and not Blessing, because of slots of domestic players versus internationals.  Or that we signed one dude about to retire to skew the numbers a bit with the expectation he moves on. 

The facebook reaction  to Croizet (3 goals wtfbbq) hasn't been too positive, which says something when management said they were going to spend big to get some scoring. I don't know what other avenues there are available to get the firepower/finisher skc needs. Seems like SKC's euro scouts can find some good players (I don't know how many we have for Europe?  Can one team take credit for krisztian, Diego, and Salloi?) so maybe these cats from Europe will pan out.

I don't know who scouted Nemeth and Diego, who I wouldn't say has worked out as of yet. I don't think Salloi was necessarily scouted, I think his dad wanted to send him to America and he had a previous relationship with Vermes so his dad sent him to high school in JoCo.

i just am not on message boards much anymore. I'm sorry.

I think for whatever our ownership/scouting department/PV thinks that buying high priced strikers are not worth the money. I think they've found guys on the cheap to bang in goals/found guys in the draft int he past. Trading SAS was a bit surprising but i wouldn't go as far as saying i'm pissed. i think we will be able to get along with Zusi being a quality defender in MLS for another year or two. I haven't done enough research on this french dude to say if i like that move or not. Fact of the matter is Benny out of all the core players this past year was the worst and the most needed guy to be replaced from the likes of Matt, Zusi, Roger, Benny. There is still tons of time in the off season and a lot of GAM/TAM to be spent. I'm crushed Latif is gone. That made me very sad.

as discussed with Dom's sale, Allocation money is far more valuable to Sporting than a sale outside of MLS and getting a 2 million dollar fee. Benny was 32 and coming to the end of a contract. This was a great move as long as they are confident in Yohan Croizet. Sporting has stock piled Allocation money to give them far more flexibility in roster building than any other franchise in MLS given the business model MLS opperates in.

The infusion of allocation money the entire league got in the off season dilutes the Dom deal a bit. Also, of course Portland doing a similar deal also puts a small dent in the SKC deal.

Of course allocation money doesn't create chances or score goals, they have to spend it correctly.

Exactly this.  I know that Benny is on the backside of things, and my head recognizes that his last couple years have been pretty steep in decline (injuries to production on field).  But we've got this money, there was a bit there was hope KN7 would come back, eh whatevs.  But I would like to hear some rumors, links, attempts to get some attacking prowess.  I don't see that coming from older internationals or ones who haven't produced a lot in their prior stops.

i am not going to argue against this, but this is the best system MLS can use to compete in the international market for players, and still have a salary cap system. I don't want MLS to get rid of the salary cap as i fear it'd turn into a league similar to all of the others in the world where there will be a massive gap between contenders, middle of the pack, and bottom feeders.

Idk what they’re paying him but I bet whatever it is turns out to be a great business decision. His jersey is flying off the shelves, and no club in the history of LX has ever received the amount of English language coverage in America.

Not bothered, for the most part anyway. That's a cup contender and Johnson was lights out. It's not the same because they did a good job of getting quality shots out of chances. We defended well aside from a few counters.

I'll tell you what's the same and it's Lobato being a trash can. Well done on recovering from the worst set piece I've ever seen but he made horrible mistakes on both goals, saved one, gave away two. It's horse crap that he was starting for Seth anyway, I thought Seth was awesome last season. I'm close to having to repress thoughts of Lobato getting hurt, apparently he's a nice guy, just a terrible soccer player.

I'm glad I'm not the only one pissed at Labato.  Both goals were crap marking.


And offense looks as bad as last year.  I see some possible bright spots and I'm telling myself it's too early in the season (Russel and Gutierrez look very promising. 
Croizet did not excite my emotions.) to make big judgements.   Still not pleased with leaving all the cash in the bank for a finisher.

I don't understand either of these assessments at all, like we weren't watching the same match.

Did you notice Medranda rough ridin' up big time on both goals? First was excusable coming in cold, and going against a once in a generation type player, but blowing the mark on Dax was crap.

Also Gerso fouled up 2 goals by making shitty selfish shallow wing runs instead of giving it up to center.  Once fairly soon after getting in the game and towards the end of the game, which PV called out in post game, to seal the game when it was essentially 3 on 1/keeper, and would have been damn near an open goal for (if I recall right) Salloi and/or Russel. 
Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: MakeItRain on March 11, 2018, 11:59:41 AM
Nah, I didn't notice any of that. So I went back and watched the highlights.
https://www.sportingkc.com/post/2018/03/10/recap-sporting-kc-strikes-twice-late-win-4-3-thriller-over-chicago-fire

I went back and watched the highlights and yeah Schweinsteiger made Jimmy look foolish on the first goal, stuff happens. I'd say the bigger issue on that first goal was Katai splitting our center backs. He definitely lost his mark on that second corner. I definitely watched him score the goal that tied the game though.

As far as Gerso goes, I don't know what two plays you're referring to. I know the late one, after we went back up and he didn't score, both announcers said the right play was to try to chip the keeper because Russell was offside. They were there with the ability to see the entire pitch so I'm going to take them at their word given they could see things that we couldn't like the AR holding his spot on the run indicating that a player was offside. Like I said I can't speak to the second play you mentioned, I don't remember it.

he's fine. last night was the first time we saw him at his natural position. he made a few mistakes but was overall much better than he looked on the wing. if you recall, Benny took like 5 months to adjust to the squad. #myguy Peterson Joseph started over him over half the season. also scoring is not part of the job description of a #10.

It isn't part of the job description but it's a hell of a lot easier to create if you're a threat to score. I was dismayed more last night than I've been when he was playing out of position. The ball looked like a rock when it was on his foot. More troubling to me was how unsure and frustrated he looked. It sounds like he's going to get at least one more game there before Guti comes back, I sure hope he shows progress. I really like him and hope he works out, that hairdo he was rocking last night was :thumbs:

Oh you want to do this?

The difference between us is if you were displeased with how he played, you would have sent ten tweets before half time declaring him a bust and ending the season for SKC. You almost certainly will do this more than once this season anyway, if you haven't already.

I've watched him play six times and I'm pretty comfortable making the assessment that he isn't a DP. That's not going out on a limb or anything.

Melia best in the world, surpassing De Gea last night imo. Ike and Besler as steady as can be. Ilie controlling things in the midfield. Daniel was my man of the match and might be my favorite player this year, if not already taken.

I don't want to argue about it if you're gonna keep dropping D word bombs on me.  :angry:

You want to get every call correct (which is fine, I understand that). They'll probably get a few more calls right but my point is that that has never been worth breaking up the game to check on everything, especially after seeing them still get one wrong while using it. I hate referees as much as the next guy but most of their calls are good and the bad calls tend to even out in the end.

I also think I have a fear of change so maybe it will end up growing on me.

I was in 130 row 10 seats 1-4, I only mention this because I literally had the best seats in the house. Midfield, right above the var screen. Low enough hear everything, high enough to see the entire field.

that red is pretty dubious too

The in stadium replays were confusing as hell, I had no idea what the hell I was seeing. Seeing the play later, I thought it was more cynical, but I still didn't see a red, maybe I don't know what to lol for. More on this...

Nice var system you got there. I guess it can only call one red card per team per game?
Hey dumbass the problem is not the system. It's the referees use of the system. Do you honestly think they got more calls correct before VAR than after?

I actually do. The issue isn't the technology but how officials have become overly reliable on it. It isn't a MLS and VAR issue it's a sports issue. The red that was called and the one that wasn't both should have been handled on the field. Whether both calls were correct or incorrect was besides the point, both were shocking displays of officiating by the head referee and the ARs. This is a plague all over officiating since the advent of instant replay. I'm just old enough where I've been a living, breathing, coherent adult for a decade of non replay and a decade of the replay era and officiating mechanics are much worse, everywhere, there's no safety net.

I want to add something else, separate of the officiating. I know I've been trashing Lobato for a year, but it was shocking to see in person, the negative impact he has on a match. I'm not blaming him solely for the loss, but we were absolutely playing 10 on 10. My nine year old daughter, who does play, mocked him for ALWAYS playing the ball back. He was right in front us, so it was obvious to see that he wouldn't even pick his head up to attempt to play a ball forward, on his feet or with a pass. Berhalter clearly noticed it too because they gave him all the space he wanted but he didn't want any of that space.

He's absolutely the worst player in skc history. He's worse than Jeferson because this dude has been around for two seasons now and has given absolutely nothing.

No, I think MLS could do the challenge system. FIFA essentially gave the go ahead to use video technology but it looks differently in many leagues and competitions throughout the world. MLS seems to have the most liberal use of video replay of any league I've seen, is very Americanized.

Post by: scottwildcat on June 04, 2018, 09:13:33 AM
Yohan actually was playing really well, makes me sad he went out. Kuzain got the goal, that was aided big time by a deflection by MnUn. Outside of that he was mainly invisible imo. Jay Linds got on, which was fun, but it is so painfully obvious he doesn't have a left foot. Granted he is a RB and hopefully won't be forced to play LB often, he was not comfortable out there. Glad Rubio got a goal, K-Shelt is better at hold up play, but i don't see how anyone could argue that if you're looking for a goal from the #9 spot Rubio is your better bet than Shelton. Danny had a nice goal, and he's having a great season, not sure if he is the answer centrally though, but the way Gerso and he weaved and rotated it worked, and i think that can work with Johnny too, so maybe a false 9 with those 3 is the answer, not sure, i tend to lean towards saying Shelton's hold up play is probably the best move as long as we can continue to see scoring from the wings and midfield

Ilie Roger and Zusi bossed that game. Lobato had his best game as a Sporting player.

Bese and Ike were a bit lazy a few times on defense, but I’ll take 4-1 no matter how it comes.

I don't disagree but who do you want him to play in front of? Johnny Russell has been great, Danny is playing really well, I'm not sure he's the answer centrally, and i don't think he is able to play deeper in the midfield.

There's nothing wrong with developing talents for better leagues. Salloi can be good enough for a top European league. That's a good thing for the club and the league. Also, I don't think SKC is representative of the league as a whole on the transfer market. If a player wants to leave, we let him leave. There aren't really any examples under PV of him just taking a payday on a player. Players leave when they're not good enough, they have ambitions of playing somewhere else, or other circumstances (Latif).

Self-hate is sad. What an amazingly silly thing to hold against an entire country or culture. Manchester United had a vaguely racist chant last season that was intended to support Lukaku, but he had to ask them to stop doing it.  West Ham sings a song about bubbles, You'll Never Walk Alone is an American show tune from the 1940s. None of this even touches European football's history of violence and racism within its culture, or Africa's history of corruption, or all of the above for South America. Whatever your reasons are for American soccer self-hate are yours, you're clearly struggling to find it, but to point to the culture, as if soccer doesn't have a problematic culture issue worldwide is laughable.

But the overall premise of the argument is real weak. What your fail to realize is that having some shitty chants and songs isn't at all unique to North America or well anywhere. Like I said this just comes across as a rationalization.

Well to each his own I guess.  One of the big reasons I love soccer is the atmospheres at games.  And American atmospheres just don't do it for me.  The songs are too forced. 

American soccer fans lack the creativity to sing You'll Never Walk Alone or alterations to John Denver songs.  I mean this is incredible, probably my favorite song of any team.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sLb9F_PDqg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sLb9F_PDqg)

We have a ton of potential to improve our songs.  Can't really get any worse.  I just don't have the patience to try and improve the quality of our songs.  Props to you guys for sticking it out.

And for the record, the barbecue song is a good idea in theory, but the execution is lacking.  Take unique things from KC and toss them into the John Denver Annie's Song format and you've got yourself a banger.

Soccer blows. It's a third world sport for people who lack the requisite skill to play field hockey and jaialai, or are too lazy/stupid to play real drunk sports (eg Golf). I would imagine your usual magic the gathering officianado is also a huge mls kc wiz fanboy.

the 2 week layoff was for the international break. it would be there regardless if the conf finals were a 1 or 2-game series.

the only way to get rid of the 2 week layoff would be to just shorten the regular season

none of that has anything to do with why sunday's game sucked. it sucked because sporting played poorly and the "casual fan" doesn't like a 0-0 final score.

what's not to understand about the playoffs?

The scoring and why and the hell do they play 2 games? Play 1 game and have it at the higher seeds home. I turned it to the game on Sunday thinking their would be some buzz and I got zero goosebumps. No sense of urgency. Twitter wasn't even that interesting during the game. It's the playoffs, I usually freak out when my teams are playing in the postseason. It just seemed tame. I'm sure tomorrow will be crazy tho.

MLS issues are improving the quality of play, improving visibility, and avoiding over-expansion (detriment to quality of play).

2 game playoffs with a 1 game final is pretty standard in all of soccer.  No sports league is ever going to consider contracting their playoffs.

The only thing I don't like about the two game playoffs is away game goals counting for more than home game goals. A 0-0 tie and a 1-1 tie (2-2, etc) should not determine a winner.

Post by: mocat on November 28, 2018, 11:06:17 AM
why the hell do they play 2 games?

it theoretically gives the better team an advantage. since goals are so hard to come by in soccer, the better team could easily lose 1 game on a fluke penalty or whatever. with 2 games, the better team should be able to come out ahead over 180+ minutes of play.*


*in a small sample size (3 seasons), this has not been the case in MLS, with the worse-seeded team advancing like 70% of the time. this should swing towards the better-seeded teams over time.

It's the playoffs, I usually freak out when my teams are playing in the postseason. It just seemed tame. I'm sure tomorrow will be crazy tho.

it was a pretty raucous crowd, i thought. sporting's level of play was pretty bad, but again, that's why there are two games! so the better team has a chance to assert its dominance. i can assure you sporting will play with their hair on fire tomorrow night.

the international break sucks and kills momentum and interest of the casual fan.  that's the point we are discussing.

agreed. it has nothing to do with a 1-game vs a 2-game series tho. MLS should shorten the season so that MLS cup ends before the break.

Dude I usually like your takes, but you're dead wrong here. Look at the scenario above, 0-0 first leg and a 1-1 second leg means Portland goes through is a great example of how that away goal means/counts for more.

Would the board "get it" if it was a best of 3 series?  Every playoff system has some variation of home and away it seems, save the NFL.

And Mo, not to belabor the point about SKC not playing for a win, but it took till like the 60th minute before Zusi was allowed to make runs forward (in fairness the back line was under siege a good bit).  Our sub was in the 92nd minute.  And while Croizet has shown some good attacking chops of late, he been more "productive" IMO holding and defending more, see his replacement for Sinovic as an example.  If we were truly playing for the win why didn't Gerso or Nemeth see the field?  (wasn't Rubio suspended for yellows? I know he wasn't on the sub list)

yeah away goals clearly count more, not sure how you can argue they don't.

banking on playing well at home when a tie (not scoreless) will send you home seems like a bad strategy, we sat back way too much in leg 1.

hopefully come out tomorrow and put one up early.  also hope i can find someone that wants to go to the game, i have a lot of fake sugar dick friends when it comes to soccer.

we're splitting hairs here. away goals only count more if you end up with a tie after 2 games. if you lose the aggregate by 1 (or any number of goals), away goals are not a factor.
but yes if you are tied after 180, away goals would be the tiebreaker.

That's why I disagree with the way things are done.  I'd much rather go into penalties to determine a winner, then have one goal count more than another goal based on location.

COMPROMISE: what if after 180 mins and the aggregate score is a tie, we get 30 mins of extra time, and THEN if it's still tied, tiebreaker goes to the team w/ more away goals? that would also give the better-seeded team another slight advantage (getting to play 30 more mins at home)

I can't believe he ran that same roster out there, now he has no choice but to flip the entire squad for Panama.

should have duplicated this. went to full-strength elite Oba + Dempsey Seattle with a full second team (other than I think Naga was a starter that season) and came out of there with a draw. the loss isn't what kills us. it's the fatigue like you said.

I'm guessing we'll see that on Wednesday. Maybe Roger plays since he can't play on Sunday but otherwise I can't see anyone one of the other starters playing outside of Ilie.

I think Besler will go. Don't want to see Smith/Borath. But I trust PV.

now, that was fun.  dominant performance, not a single defensive breakdown, and Nemo's finishing brilliance pays off. Props to Barath too with the assist and the hockey assist.  Wonder if Fontas' spot is in danger.  Hope Salloi comes back soon, not sure how much of Gerso's finishing I can take.

Thanks, I was wondering how it sounded on TV. There were only like 50 of us, but the stadium was maybe half full at best and we were pretty consistent the whole game with having some chant going. I kept wanting to do "oh when the wiz" and my friends kept being like not yet mocat, not yet.
Columbus fans were 100% great to us. Basically trying to outdo each other in the parking lot with free beers and wanting to meet us and say thanks for coming,  taking photos, commiserating on disappointing seasons so far, etc. Game was pretty ugly and it was hot af in the sun, but away dubs feel great.

I really thought Sporting looked good at the beginning of the year.  Felt like the gold cup and all the games we played took it's toll with injuries, and never looked the same.  Now with a lot of guys back, still look like complete garbage.  Are big changes needed?  Can we go into 2020 with this squad and feel like we can make any sort of run outside of just making the playoffs?

It is a shot at the league who has banned all "political" messaging from stadiums. They consider anti-fascism political. It has lead to some fantastic exchanges, like this one.

This is going to get addressed in the new CBA. Great to see the league growing to the point that all teams can charter flights without it giving some teams a massive advantage.

Wayne is learning what it's like to play in a league in which the country is literally 70 times larger than England, and one of the reasons why the MLS is significantly tougher than it gets credit for. That doesn't even count adding in the southern 1/8th of Canada. England would be the 30th largest state, slightly larger than Mississippi. The travel is a bit different.

Also how the eff does it take them 12 hours to get from

I mean this particular off season for this particular club (old af core, first time missing the playoffs in 9 years, etc)

Like if you're getting ready for a rebuild this seems like a weird time to put so much resources into one player who's currently in his prime

i guess i didn't think a full blown rebuild was necessary.  they started 2019 very strong, injuries piled up, CONCACAF early had them playing a couple games a week.  not saying he's the answer, but maybe he is.  need help on the back end.


i'm also new to soccer, so i don't understand any of the salary cap, drafting, international players, etc.

i'm just happy to have an apparent stud on the team.

They're not going to rebuild. They aren't going to replace Besler, Zusi, Espinoza, and Melia all at once. It is worth noting that they have added a goal keeper, fullback, and center back the last two transfer windows. There's also a young fullback and midfielder that they have spent multiple years getting ready to play.

Agreed.  It was hard to tell how much of it was FC Dallas making terrible decisions but he was just effortlessly intercepting everything.

Yes. We had the 3rd best regular season record, the teams with the two best records, Philadelphia and Toronto, have been bounced.

Going into the playoffs my bracket had SKC hosting Orlando, still holds up.

The only way Busio won't get selected is if his transfer happens before, if he's still in Kansas City in July, he's getting picked. I think Melia is 50/50. I could see a scenario where he gets selected for the group play matches but replaced in the knockout round. There are 6 keepers on the list, all MLS keepers. They'll cut down to three.

Also worth noting that Pulido got selected for Mexico and Roger got selected for Honduras even though he previously retired from national team play.

Agree on busio. I meant hardly any of that 60 man list will make it. Nobody from nations league is even on it. I don't think melia has a chance.

Btw peter gave an amazing interview (as usual) with soren a few days ago and he was very candid about the process with Busio. He said teams from 5 leagues are pursuing him

Did you see that list of keepers? I don't know how you can see that and not think Melia has a chance. It's
It's not exclusively young guys, nor is it exclusively guys who have been capped. It's like an entirely different keeper pool than what we've seen. Even Guzan, when was the last time he's played? Pre-pandemic, surely.

I went to the first home Austin FC game a couple of weeks ago. I've never seen so many brand new jerseys in my life. It was too bad that it took them a couple of more home games before they could get a goal. The city is very much behind the team so far. Hopefully they'll get good sooner rather than later.

It's quite possible that the $6.6 million is with add ons.  This would not contradict a report of $4.4 million guaranteed.

I'm not worried about it. Opponents are coming in and bunkering and we're throwing so many bodies forward that we're susceptible to counters. We're so dangerous that it really will take 2 goals to put us in a danger spot and they've rarely given two up. As long as we have Salloi, Pulido, and Kinda on the field together, we'll be fine.

The TV deal is only better for cord cutters in the KC area, it's much worse for everyone else. I have ESPN+ so it's not as big of a deal for me, but being able to watch on television in addition to multiple streaming options was better for everyone else

A lot of Bally subscribers will still be in an area to get a broadcast plus cordcutters will get a free stream.  ESPN+ still works for people outside of the region.  I think it's a win for people trying to access games although I don't know what the money side looks like for the club.

Who is the new deal much worse for?

Who is the new deal much worse for?

The deal is much worse for everyone outside of the KC area who watched matches on Bally's. So most people in the entire states of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, northern Oklahoma, and western Illinois. Again I have ESPN+ already so it's not as big of a deal for people that already have it, but most people in these areas don't, so they will have to add ESPN+ while still having to pay for Bally's on our sports tier. It's not as big of a deal as the cord cutters in greater KC not being able to see games the past few years, that was definitely shitty, although they did have the same choice we did, but it's definitely not as good as it was before.

Another thing about having Bally's that people outside of KC will have to get used to, and that they're definitely going to bitch about, are those games on Univision(TUDN). Those are exclusive national broadcasts, but the league let the local broadcasters simulcast these matches. They still will get to, but now the local market isn't everyone who got Bally's KC, it's just the greater KC area. So these matches, usually 4-6 a year and possibly a playoff game, will have to either be watched on TUDN, a channel a lot of people in this part of the country don't get, or they have to watch these matches on Twitter, yes Twitter. ESPN+ does not have rights to national broadcasts on TUDN or Fox. I have TUDN on DirecTV foreign language tier, and they do have an English language broadcast using the sap button, but it's a horrible broadcast and if I'm not home I can only stream it on Twitter.

I don't have to worry about this because, again ESPN+, but I worry about how well the Sporting KC app will hold up as a streaming option. I don't know how often you have used it in the two years it's been launched, but it's been absolutely horrible and that's without any video capabilities, that's a very new feature to the app.

They did a good job in making sure all their fans have some option to watch now, but the options are definitely not as reliable as before. They're also definitely losing money on this deal, so they should get credit for that. The deal with Bally's still had a year left, so they had to pay to get that and 38 The Spot has no where close to the advertising revenue that Fox Sports KC had when they made that deal before the bottom fell out on regional sports networks. I wouldn't be surprised if the team is getting nothing but the full share of their advertising revenue.

that first game was not exactly inspiring.  Ndenbe should be an upgrade over Martins, but the midfield looks weak, Shelton/Zusi need upgraded also.  when i see Atlanta bringing 60+k to a game, and sporting sending STM's emails with cheap tickets for sale to our opener days away, wonder how long before SKC turns into a small market club that can't hang financially (i honestly don't know much about salary caps/league revenue's/etc)

Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: MakeItRain on March 01, 2022, 08:53:54 PM
m2, I'm not too bothered by it. Shelton isn't the answer at the 9 but there's a new signee if he's worth anything he'll push Shelton for minutes. Gadi Kinda makes space for the entire front 3, we really missed him. I think it's possible that the entire midfield won't be the starting midfield for the bulk of the season. Kinda and Hernandez will definitely be starters on the left and right, the 6 I don't know but we have a bunion billion options there.

KK, yes Zusi is there, Besler is retire. The guys to watch are Johnny Russell and Daniel Salloi.

I don't know if Zusi will start this weekend or not, I do think that eventually Ndenbe and Ben Sweat will be the starting fullbacks.

Houston just refused to put any pressure on ball other than about 5-10 minutes in the second half KC had a ton of possession and had a couple decent half chances before the goal so no real complaints. The wind and the possession made it interesting to watch and I got to talk to my son about the movements and that was nice.

That is understandable, but man, K-State games vs Chiefs games are also night and day. Royals games imo are the only thing that can be discussed in the same breath as SKC games in terms of family friendliness.

Glad you enjoyed it. I do think the family friendly atmosphere has mostly to do though with the type of person that goes to soccer games in the US vs practically any other major sport.

If this occurred while the players were thanking the fans, then I completely agree that that is out of line.

Overall, I think Sporting KC as an organization takes a lot of things for granted, so I have some sympathy towards the feelings of how terrible the current team is. There are not a lot of ways to make fans' feelings known other than not attending, but how would that help that players?

SKC is traditionally one of the most successful franchises in MLS.  Fans yelling about what they "deserve" to people that have made it that successful and invest 1000x more than they do is extremely entitled.  Publicly shaming the players isn't necessary to make the fans' feelings known.  If the organization seemed consistently satisfied with underwhelming results or incapable of fixing them, sure the fanbase could say the deserve better, but I don't know how anybody could think that applies to SKC.

If we're trying to help the players, I'm not sure how scolding them when they walk off the field helps.   They'd probably prefer those fans not attend.

SKC is traditionally one of the most successful franchises in MLS.  Fans yelling about what they "deserve" to people that have made it that successful and invest 1000x more than they do is extremely entitled.  Publicly shaming the players isn't necessary to make the fans' feelings known.  If the organization seemed consistently satisfied with underwhelming results or incapable of fixing them, sure the fanbase could say the deserve better, but I don't know how anybody could think that applies to SKC.

I'm sure yelling at the players while they are thanking fans for attending will make them play much better.

If this occurred while the players were thanking the fans, then I completely agree that that is out of line.

Overall, I think Sporting KC as an organization takes a lot of things for granted, so I have some sympathy towards the feelings of how terrible the current team is. There are not a lot of ways to make fans' feelings known other than not attending, but how would that help that players?

If we're trying to help the players, I'm not sure how scolding them when they walk off the field helps.   They'd probably prefer those fans not attend.

Scolding the players when they walk off the field is out of line. I said as much. The fans don't deserve anything and saying "We deserve better" is a terrible choice of words.

The players would prefer for some of the most dedicated fans to not attend? This is exactly what I mean about taking things for granted. Sporting KC has been pretty successful, but MLS is a lot different now than it was in 2013. I am not convinced that Sporting KC has the will to spend the money necessary to truly compete. They want to be good, but not have to spend a lot to do so. They think Vermes allows them to do this, but it is becoming increasingly clear this no longer will work. If trotting out Khiry Shelton is an organization's idea of a starting MLS center forward, that says a lot about that organization's commitment to winning.

Of course the players want supportive fans there, but I'm sure they could do without the ones that chant "we deserve better."

SKC spent money on Pulido but that hasn't worked out with his injuries.  I'm certainly expecting some changes throughout this year and into next.  I think part of the challenge is transitioning out of the Besler/Zusi/Espinoza era. It was nice to have a few positions reliable staffed for a decade but now every position has the potential to look different in a year or two.

Yeah, that equalizer was the last kick of extra time, dude ended up with the ball on his foot inside the penalty spot, horrific defending by Chicago. Columbus, Austin, and RSL also lost to lower level competition.

The draw for the next round is on Friday, we won't get Omaha. The draw groups are done regionally and instead of putting us with Minnesota and Omaha, the fuckheads at US Soccer did this.

i don’t think that is the case, that this just happens to everyone.  i do think that roster management has been their biggest issue, and if that’s the case, who is ultimately pulling the strings?

It is one of the best run franchises and it absolutely happens to everyone. Name a franchise and they've crap the bed sometime in the last three years. Seattle is one place higher than we are right now, although I do anticipate them eventually making they playoffs this year. They have a very similar problem as SKC and it's an aging core who have accomplished a lot but they are at the end. The two LA teams missed the playoffs last season. Atlanta has had like three coaches in like a year and a half. Columbus fans are losing their crap worse than we are.

Because of the way the league is structured, I wouldn't at all count something like missing the playoffs solely as a sign of function or dysfunction of a franchise. The model just doesn't support teams making the playoffs as consistently as SKC and Seattle has, I don't know if it will happen ever again, as long as the finances of the league are structured as they currently are.

Want to see what franchises are dysfunctional? I'd look at something like Portland repeatedly running into league trouble and issues with their fans for crap that doesn't happen on the field. Cincinnati who has been turning over their entire operation, every single year. NYCFC who has literally played home matches in 4 different states this year. Miami's litany of issues.

What's frustrating about SKC is they have purchased players, they spend a lot of money on scouting and being players in from everywhere. They spend money on the roster, acquiring players, and taking care of them when they get the players. The issue seems to be the coach's unwillingness to turn the page and give the guys he himself brought in, a chance to play. Hopefully the success of the center backs on Saturday will soften him to giving the other guys a chance, I love Roger but seeing him and Kyrie continually get starts is maddening.

first half was woof city, from there it was an actual enjoyable match to be at.  i hope we try and move to the 3 man back line we used last night, much more exciting.  the red card in the 97' i thought at the time wouldn't matter, but the corner the following minute made it turn out to be huge, pretty great header by marinos.  pierre at rb impressed me, i'd rather see him there moving forward than duke who should stay in the midfield.  turned into being a fun night out there, wish the crowd was better

Pierre was easily the best player on the field while he was out there. Jake Davis and that bald dude from SKC 2 were hopelessly lost.

I have no hope that Kyrie will turn around, before that late goal, he may have had his worst game to date. To get three balls at his feet inside the 6 yard box and not connect with any of them was disastrous.

Dallas' coach should be embarrassed deciding to park the bus, they could have and should have won 5-0, very fun comeback tho. I was literally seconds away from giving up on this team.

He need to switch gears then and show that he is building for the future. I would like to see Kaden Pierre get much more of a chance to show what he can do at the MLS level. Khiry Shelton needs to be done.

Exactly why he's gotta go. Either he signed the worst roster o.a.t. or he's completely out of touch with how skilled or a lack thereof the players he's putting out there. I was all about giving him the time he's rightfully earned, but he seems hell-bent on continuing to make the same roster decisions that won't work.

He's been guilty of this for years too. We had all of those homegrown players last year and he refused to play them. The same 11 guys he kept running out there got tired late in the season and possibly injured because they were so run down. Now, because he was so stubborn with the roster last year, apparently we don't have any depth he trusts. Going into this season with Zusi, Uri, and Espinoza as starters, instead of depth pieces, was malpractice. I didn't like Shelton last year either but it was fine starting him because the starter is hurt and he showed enough, but continuing to start him is stubborn to the detriment of this team.

Even if it's just relinquishing duties of one of his two jobs, something's got change and change now.

Abubakar is a good center back. The first goal was Salloi being great, the second was definitely a blunder by Ben Sweat followed by a bigger blunder by Abubakar, luckily Salloi made them pay.

I have no rough ridin' idea why Salloi committed that red card foul, totally dumb.

Fun match tonight, Johnny is ridiculous as a sub, tired legs can't do anything with him.

Allianz Field is really nice, I enjoyed going there, a lot, and I will be going back. It was a late arriving crowd, myself included but they packed the house very nicely, especially for a weeknight match. It's bigger but not as loud as Children's Mercy Park, and their supporters section is way bigger than the cauldron but again not as loud and not nearly as organized. It was cool though and nice to take public transportation right to the stadium.

should have been playing against 10 men the last 10-15 minutes.  the young academy guys (hernandez/duke/pierre/pulskamp) give me some hope for the future, fontas has been crap this year.  the front 3 should clearly be marinos/salloi/johnny, hopefully PV sees that now.  hopefully the new transfers can contribute right away.

That ref let a lot go, pretty surprised it didn't get more physical. lol at Peter using that front 3 ever again, they could have scored 6 goals and we'd see Khiry out there the next game. What's frustrating is I do think he would be effective as a super sub, but he's got nudes of Peter or something.

what a crap second half last night.  can't defend corners/crosses/set pieces.  vermes should have taken roger out at half, or at least after we conceded the first goal, can't have both duke/hernandez on the bench at the same time and play uri/roger.  tired of vermes whining, if not a straight red, roger is still getting his 2nd yellow on that challenge.  oscar vibes

Although I like him overall, Pulskamp was awful with the PKs.  He would have all his weight on one leg as the player approached.  It was obvious where he was going every time.

Not sure what i feel more dumb about, staying up that late or renewing my season tickets yesterday.  By the end, i didn't really particularly care if we won or not, the game was so bad to watch.  How you keep 4 subs on the bench in a 120 min mid week game where guys are gassed/cramping up left and right, i will never understand.  Ben Sweat is complete crap (yes had one good pass late).  Pulskamp had an unbelievable save to keep them in it, agreed he looked lost in pk's.  Agada flipping in pk's after being denied, unreal cringe level.  Massive changes needed on the pitch and in the office before next season.

In the two games I've been to this year, SKC has scored 10 goals.  At least they've been entertaining for me.

I went to the Cauldron open practice on Sunday.  Very cool event.  About 40 people showed up and we got to go through the US Soccer training facility before watching practice for about an hour.  The guys who played significant minutes just came out to sign autographs.  All the players took their time and made sure anybody who wanted a picture or autograph was taken care of.  A lot of very happy kids were running around.

Pulskamp's save where he landed in the back of the net of incredible in person.  Also, they had Brisket Bob there last night (said he hadn't been back since 2018 or something, maybe covid, idk).  Anyway, after each goal he would carve a slice off of this brisket, bag it up, and toss it in the cauldron.  I assumed maybe it was a dig at Portland and their lumberjack that saws their big log after each score?

Can't overly say why it matters as much for MLS, but at least for all other soccer leagues (so this mentality probably permeates from european leagues to the MLS) actual failure(s) in a league could mean relegation and since the manager is the one who determines line-ups and in game decisions, while yes, he can only be as good as the players he has, obvious on field play that is indicative of poor coaching gets magnified. Like if a team loses or draws a game due to VAR review or something that more easier to make it be not the manager he can survive, if they lose cause they played sloppily or didn't put someone in who could've made a change earlier it is on the manager so they draw that ire.

Like, there is no "suck for Luck" mentality in the EPL, being in last (or least 3) means you're in the champions league, so that drive to be successful is very tangible even if for some outsiders "oh you don't have playoffs? or ties?" (harkening back to the original Ted Lasso's skit for NBC) might not see that. So it mean each game matters, a lot, and keeping up with the Jonses is how you have to play.

I think the larger issue is that SKC would have had real trouble getting there today.

What sucks is that there's snow and rain in the forecast for Monday.

The silver lining here is that I can watch the MLS Red Zone thingie without my team playing

He's calling matches for both Fox Sports and Apple TV. He was calling the Seattle Colorado match on FS1. He also said that all the Fox matches are called from a studio in LA. I guess they're only going to be on-site for Galaxy and LAFC matches. Woof. Apple TV will be on-site for all matches. Apple TV also has a cool feature where you can listen to the home radio broadcast instead of their announcers, so it sounds like Aly will get quite a few listeners.

Neither really are, both are starting due to injuries, along with Shelton, Sweat, and Voloder. I do think both Zusi and Espinoza are good enough to get minutes, just not as many as they are getting.

Peter not subbing out Melia, after he basically can't move, then gives up the goal that Pulskamp probably stops.  Barely into April and i've got to sit thru how many more games of this?  Feels like a major overhaul needs to happen, but won't.

I was sitting in our defensive half for the second half, about right at the top of the 18 and I didn't see anything wrong with Melia nor have I heard anyone else mentioning he was hurt or anything.

After Rubio got away with the foul on Walter, it was a 2 on 1 and Melia had to defend the entire goal. If anything, he's guilty for not recognizing that Barrios was offside. It looks like Melia was leaning, trying to defend a pass to Barrios when Rubio beat him near post.

Either way, giving up that goal was not the issue. We were pushing way up the field because we could've score if we had two nets. All 10 field players were on our defensive half and we had a midfielder as the last guy back. If we weren't in such a scoring funk, the defense wouldn't have been as high as they were and that break wouldn't have been an issue.

You saw me with my 37 kids! I wish you would have said hello. Because I'm going to Minnesota next month, and my oldest has started soccer season, that's probably the first and last time we'll be in CMP this season, unless we host a weekday playoff match. It really leaves a bad taste.

Speaking of bad taste. Me and one of my progeny each had a burger, fries, and a drink and it cost me $63. I'm not one to complain about concession prices but that's rough ridin' absurd. I generally don't eat there but I'll make sure I'll never do it again. I fed my entire family a full BBQ meal at Wolfepack BBQ the next day, a full slab of ribs, pork belly, three full sides, and drinks for $1 less.

He's only trialing, for now. At least they're trying something other than just inserting Shelton. If they do sign him, bear in mind that he has 4 goals in his last 600 minutes played. Salloi has 1 in 700 minutes played this year. Last year Johnny Russell had 8 goals in 2700 minutes. You have to go back 3000 minutes to get 4 goals out of Shelton.

We need goal scoring help, we're outside of a transfer window, Dwyer is the best goal scoring free agent option.

It feels like it would be a move to save Vermes job more than being in the best interest of the team long term.  I think we're better off figuring out if there's any value on SKC 2 then bringing in a mediocre short term fix for a team with little short term future.

Agree that I would prefer it, or many forms of light torture, to watching Khiry play.

Peter's absolutely not in job saving mode yet. He literally just got an extension and he's his own GM. Besides even if he was, saving his job is about winning games, is hope he's doing his best to win games. If Dom Dwyer spent his career in the eastern conference people wouldn't be freaking out about this. The fact is, at the end of the year last season, he was in better goal scoring form than literally anyone on the roster now.

Also bear in mind that with SKC 2, they're not a USL team anymore, they're a MLS NextPro team, it's a completely developmental league. Those players are mostly high school kids who are good academy and club players, it's the third level of American professional soccer. If you remember Wan Kuzain, he's probably the best player in that league and he's there after not being able to see the field for SKC, then also washing out in the USL.

I don't know that I've ever seen a match where one team was so dominant with the ball that they seemed completely disinterested in actually trying to score. I was really disappointed the SKC fans didn't do the OLEs, they could have done that crap for 20 minutes at a time.

Also good job on selling those tickets, the Chivas fans are dumb shits, there were open seats all over the place. Now you get to watch a home knockout match.

Noticed those Chivas fans got a puto chant in right at the end of the match.

I was in the Cauldron and had a good time. I've never seen an opposing team pack the stadium anywhere close to that.  They poured all the canned beers into cups and had a number of additional sportsmanship messages in both English and Spanish pregame.  The pregame stuff was muted as I'm guessing it was some kind of 'neutral' game in the tournament.  I thought it was perhaps Khiry's best game.  He made/attempted some passes that could've created some good opportunities.

khiry has always been a decent passer, the problem is when he gets into the box that's all he has to offer, he has no ideas, and will never look to take a shot.  which is a problem when you play the 7 or 9.

I've seen some possession charts (is that a thing?) from a while ago where possession frequently dies when Khiry gets it.  I've started to notice it this year in some games.  I thought he had at least two pass attempts on Monday that didn't quite connect, but would've resulted in a good chance at a goal.  I was at the game (brag) so I don't know that I got the whole picture that someone watching from home did.

It seemed like a positive from a guy who kicked an easy shot right at the goalie the game before.   I also blame him for about 2 other games this year that we lost.  I was pretty disappointed with Pulido's red as I figured I was in for 90 of Shelton, but it wasn't as bad as I thought.

not sure how Tzoinas basically got buried on the bench again since coming back from international break, not that he's set the world on fire, but my eyes would rather watch him out there than what we know we're getting with khiry
Title: Re: Sporting KC Thread!! (Featuring All of MLS and sometimes Mexican Leagues too)
Post by: MakeItRain on August 05, 2023, 12:45:04 PM
That one is easy to figure out. Tzonis offers nothing defensively, literally nothing at all. He also doesn't provide much for link up play. He is a get the ball, make a beeline to the goal type of player and he doesn't even produce enough doing that to provide enough value to see the field. Khiry provides some value defending and with link up play, which you astutely pointed out.

Last night was, woof.

That's what I do.  The tailgates have free drinks if you hit those.  The open practices are really cool although this year they did them on weekdays in October.  I want to take my nephews to them and let them get autographs.  It pays for itself with 4 tickets.  I don't think I'll hit enough weekday games generally to do season tickets.

The whole MLS playoff system is rough ridin' dumb this year BUT the plan seems to have been to give every team a home playoff game.  To keep a decided advantage for the top teams, they did best of 3 and did it in the first rough ridin' round.

I also think that MLS believes Americans can't understand how a 2 game playoff home and away works.

yeah best of 3 with pk's each game if needed is a really dumb way to go about it.  conceivably st louis could beat us 5-0 sunday, we could turnaround the following game and win a 0-0 draw in pk's, and then turn around with another 0-0 draw, win in pk's, and advance without scoring a goal in open play vs 5 for st louis in that scenario.  pretty hilarious and just us soccer trying to appeal to non soccer fans i guess.  just play the home and home with aggregate scoring.

Were they really getting negative feedback on the 2 game aggregate series? Who was clamoring for this? V annoying but omg now I absolutely do hope we advance with a 5-0 goal deficit

not sure on that.  i get with a 3 game series it gives more of an advantage to the teams with the better reg season record, but you could still just end games in draws/use aggregate scoring and just use pk's in game 3 if needed. 

i have no idea why san jose was content to play for pk's the entire game last night.  it led to a boring game and like i said, our guys looked tired, and cade cowell was running around our guys left and right.  Hoppe was a clown all night, glad the weather was great/didn't rain.

Last night, we also played on opposite ends in each half than typical.  The second half was in front of the supporters section which I don't recall seeing before (could be wrong).  I didn't know if they decide that differently in the playoffs vs the regular season or I've just been to a string of games that the opponent has won the coinflip.

MLS didn't get rid of the 2 match aggregate because their fans didn't understand it, most MLS fans are also European football fans, they got rid of it because the first legs were absolutely dreadful.

I've taken two different sets of nephews to games in the cauldron in the last month, ages 8-13.  All had the absolute best time.  Yesterday they got their scarves autographed on player walkthroughs, got seats right by the corner to heckle corner kicks, and snagged a flag to wave.  I highly recommend it (if you're comfortable exposing kids that age to more than a little swearing).

Should have been hand ball/red card, changes the entire complexion of the game.  Having said that, holy crap we did not look like the team that ran thru St. Louis.  3 weeks off and our guys looked more gassed than they did on 3 days rest between the play in game and the game in St. Louis.  Hardly had any of the ball and when we got it it was hard to keep it.  The whole format of the playoffs, to the huge international break right in the middle of it, to the crap officiating, i don't know why i bother spending the money i do supporting this, it's so frustrating.

The calendar and the promotion/relegation model could very well work in the US. The reasons they likely won't be implemented have to do with money and the status of MLS in US sports.

Of the two, I think it is more likely that the calendar could get changed to match the European calendar. However, the reason this probably won't happen is that the current MLS calendar limits competition with the NFL. There is going to always be some overlap between the two seasons, but the current MLS calendar minimizes that. Also, a good amount of the overlap is the MLS playoffs, which has more draw than regular season games. Additionally, with a large part of the regular season in the summer, the only main competition is baseball for a few months. I also think the desire to limit cold-weather games in December, January and February plays into the current calendar. I imagine the thinking is that the cold weather would limit attendance. There could also be an argument about the risk of injury in cold weather. Even the NFL doesn't play any cold weather games in February.

I would love for promotion/relegation to be put into the US Soccer pyramid. It's not going to happen, though. MLS owners would be putting too much money at risk to ever endorse it. The revenue hit that would come with being relegated would be huge and no businessman is ever going to agree to introduce that risk. There is the potential that promotion/relegation would increase interest and grow the game, but I think that would be very limited. The people that care about it are likely already soccer fans and a lot of non-soccer fans don't even know what it is.

In terms of promotion/relegation, I think a more likely outcome is that leagues like the Premier League will get rid of it. I'm not saying that will happen, but it is more likely than MLS introducing promotion/relegation.

I've been the biggest MLS honk in the great plains, but the league is really starting to piss me off.
Can you explain to me, a dumb guy, why the European promotion/relegation model and calendar wouldn't work?

We'll start with the calendar. The climate is just too much to overcome to play the European calendar. People try to dismiss that but the climate matters, it's the same reason why we just had a winter world cup and will have another one when Saudi Arabia hosts in 2034. Places that have harsh climates in Europe; Poland, Czech Republic, and Ukraine, take winter breaks and their winter isn't nearly as harsh as many places in North America. I've been to the UK and Poland in the dead ass of winter, a lot, and the climate in both of those places is closer to Kansas City than Toronto. The MLS have franchises in the following cities, all outdoor stadiums. Montreal, Toronto, Boston, New York x2, Philadelphia, Chicago, Columbus, Cincinnati, St. Paul, Denver, and Salt Lake City. Fans don't want to watch games in those conditions and more importantly, players don't want to play in them. Go back to qualifying for the 2022 World Cup. Canada actually made the last round of qualifying and the USMNT tried to get cute with qualifying and place some matches in the Midwest in winter and it was absolutely miserable. Also, winter is much longer in the US than in Europe, playing every week in November to March would be a total nightmare.

As far as pro/rel the reason that it doesn't work in the United States is that the sport is too new and the disparity between the teams is much broader than that in Europe. When discussing pro/rel people often focus on the teams that would move down, and they should, but the focus really should be on the teams that would move up. The difference between lower level EPL teams and Championship teams that often ride the wave of promotion/relegation is financially indistinguishable from one another. This is because these teams have over a hundred years of playing on the same level, the play was established way before billionaires ran the sport. Even with this, you look at the EPL standings now and the bottom three are the three teams that just got promoted. Everyone gets romantic about pro/rel in Europe, because it's what they've always done. But if we had that system in America, how much club growth would the Charleston Battery have if their fans could only ever hope to get to MLS from the USL Championship and finish outside of the playoffs. Burnley has a hundred years of fans growing up around Turf Moor and knowing nothing but unyielding love for Burnley. Their rivals are other clubs of similar size and if similar fate. That system works because outside of maybe 8 or 9 clubs, the other 130 or so know they aren't winning the EPL, a system like that would never work here.

The EPL is only 30 years old and it was created so that the big clubs didn't have to play on an even level with the also rans. The trend is going away from pro/rel because the people that own these teams don't want their heavy investment compromised. Mexico has stopped using a true pro/rel system. The European Super League is the same concept, clubs Luke Madrid doesn't want their place in the richest tournament in the world to be compromised in favor of some team from Croatia with a seven figure valuation.

I'm selling my Inter Miami.  They mentioned a season tix presale for additional Miami seats, which I will try and buy.  If I get more tix to it, I might go (although selling them all and paying for my season tix and beer for the season sounds pretty good too).  If I had a kid or niece/nephew who was really into soccer, I would probably use them.

Y'all should read this story.

This doesn't even go into Wilkinson squashing the story of one of their male players beating his wife and his own damn kids. This is horrible and should cost Peter his job as well.

These PR statements are always designed to obscure as opposed to enlighten but the statement doesn't even make sense.

"[Sporting KC] ran a diligent and exhaustive process to identify our new Sporting Director. It was grounded in the deeply-held principles and standards we have adhered to since the day we acquired the team."

and

"That said, the impassioned response from our fans reinforced to us a fundamental philosophy that has driven us since Day One: To honor and protect our valued relationships."

so the club is insinuating that they knew about everything, investigated it and didn't think it was a problem but because of the fans they fired him.

It is an insane statement.

I think they trusted Peter and let him do whatever he wanted and he burned the owners. This took a week plus because they had to work out Wilkinson's compensation. Jake Reid might be a casualty of this too. I can't imagine the owners are happy about losing seven figures because Peter hired this guy for a week.

I'm glad they made this move but I'm still not happy, this front office has become so detached from what grew this club a little over a decade ago when the new ownership took over.

I'm intentionally listing this as a separate post because these issues should be separate, but this Wilkinson news distracted everyone from seeing that they opened training camp with undoubtedly a worse roster. They haven't invested hardly anything on this roster despite dropping several high dollar contracts. There's two weeks left in the January transfer window.

yeah, to your 2nd point mir, it's like they are banking off our "best record since May" team that will be able to replicate that for an entire season, which i'm not buying.  team is aging, lost kinda, and we clearly don't have youth coming up through the system or we don't play them.  holding hope there is still a big signing in the midfield or at center back, and still think banking on pulido staying healthy is a fool's errand.

Clearly got jobbed by the scab refs, but...
1. SKC pretty consistently, the last 3 or 4 seasons or so, has had a very hard time managing the last end of one goal matches. We were a mess the last 15 minutes of that match. We also spend far too much time shithousing and time wasting and it's very frustrating. Good teams don't struggle to close these matches out and we always seem to play them like we're missing a one goal lead against Real Madrid instead of Philadelphia United.
2. The front three have been not just okay, but horrible the first two matches.
3. It's not like we haven't seen the real MLS refs bungle a finish lot that a million times. Yeah, the current refs are scabs, but if the refs on strike are holding out for less accountability, then let them continue to sit.

The Philly goal had them celebrating right in front of me in the cauldron which was annoying.  A buddy got hit in the back with a beer.  A Philly player threw beers back and some guy next to me was trying to get security to help him press charges.

:ROFL:
People on twitter were down on the cauldron for throwing crap. While I would have not thrown anything, those players can't be taunting angry, emotional fans like that and act like they aren't going to get people who are going to act on those emotions.
