Guys, in the end it's about money.

Not a K-State guy, all he cares about is money not the FAMILY! Get Wolford on the phone!!!

I'm not sure there's one true statement in that post.

As a noob here I am struggling to understand why people are questioning Pete?  The prediction has been correct so far.

You're right, smacd. I'm not sure why anyone would question Pete.

If Sporting wasn't consistently good, would it bug these baseball dorks as much?  It gets weirder and weirder every year in here.

Anyhoo, 3-1 boys in blue this evening.  :excited:

I'm excited! Are you going to be there spaces?? (If we win and I win the lottery for MLS Cup tix, I'll probably be there  :surprised:)

The recent, unexpected, rumors, of a deal, maybe, possibly, being near completion for Berhalter reminded me of the issues facing KSU in searchers.  I wonder who does a worse job of having a "search" and then hiring a more boring coach?

Berhalter job has been a done deal for months. Sure he's boring but it's a decent hire. And LittreLL isn't boring.

yeah away goals clearly count more, not sure how you can argue they don't.

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.

And we can't really go with "that's the way the rest of the world does it" or we wouldn't have made up our own American sports....

(here's one of those problems single elimination would solve)

i think mls will be ok, but that game was painfully low quality...some had to do with the turf, which can be fixed, but man, hope noone was watching their first soccer game...

abolish 2 leg series in the playoffs. problem solved

what problem would that solve?
Every problem

Is anybody else jazzed to the tits about facing rsl? This is so great

yeah, wc semifinal matchups are *chefs kiss*

I don't think Melia is too old, not even close. Hamid has more career caps and Steffen has more the last five seasons. He should have little to no wear and tear.

My bigger concern with keeper is that they push Steffen and not anoint him which seems to be happening. Heaven forbid he turns into Jesse Gonzalez.

It isn't happening. He's the best keeper in MLS this season. He deserves it. Horvath and Bono are getting shots among others. I am a giant Hamid fan, but he rarely stays healthy for an entire season.

I don't love the idea of completely jettisoning the veterans. I do think you'll see a good mix of veterans and young guys when Berhalter, Vermes, or Marsch gets hired. It's one thing to go completely young in these friendlies without a head coach, it's a whole other thing when you're playing in tournaments and WCQs.
There are guys in the pool like Yedlin, JMo, and Nagbe who have played little to none in the last year who will be reincorporated when a head coach is named.

I'm far more interested to see what happens to MLS players who have been discarded or ignored altogether, guys like; Walker Zimmerman, Christian Ramirez, Tim Melia, Bill Hamid, Dom Dwyer, Cristan Roldan, Ike Opara, etc.

Roldan hasn't been ignored. He's been in the camps with the other kids, and he'll be fighting McKennie, Adams, Trapp, etc for a spot in the central midfield. I agree with the rest of this tho. Although I don't need Melia getting USMNT call-ups. Maybe a spot on the roster for the Gold Cup, but with Horvath, Steffen, Bono, and Hamid, it's more important to find the next guy than give a chance to an old(ish) who has zero distribution skill and is strictly an elite shot stopper.

I'm done talking about it, at this point I'm just hoping US Soccer doesn't get cute.

I think the fact that US Soccer hasn't (publicly) done crap for almost a year means the coach they want is in MLS. I've been on the Berhalter bandwagon the entire time and I'm sticking on it.

lol you dorks are reading into my comments to much.  what irritates me about american soccer culture is crap like this  https://youtu.be/Dy3iqsUzrkA?t=571

And this isn't isolated.  every single soccer fanbase has these cringey chants.  even FC Wichita has these cringey, childish chants. 

MIR i'm talking about the songs American fans sing not the history of violence or racism in soccer, I should've specified this earlier.  There is obviously no place for racism and violence in soccer.  I like Fulham for a reason.  Really clean history. 

But c'mon guys.  Americans chant the lamest crap at soccer games.  Surely you guys have seen that clip of the fight and win sounders fan.  Gimme a break with this crap.

Have... Have you been to an SKC game? Wgaf about random clips on Youtube?

43
You can go anywhere on the internet and find some British bad person talking about how Americans don't understand football. I'm not an MLS fan so the rest of the world can validate us.

44
Guys, I have a confession.  I hate American soccer culture.  It really sucks.  The chants/songs are embarrassing.  It's just lame. 



 This crap turns me off from MLS.  And there's a lot more videos out there just like this one.  Do you guys enjoy this?  Any ideas on how to fix American soccer culture? 

And I'm not talking about the play on the field.  MLS has certainly improved there.  I just can't get into the American fan culture.  It's so cringey.

Lol BBQ is the most fun chant we do. Lighten up, bud. I agree we do some stupid chants, but who cares? Are you not embarrassed by some of the crap K-State students chant?

How long before Jose’ gets sacked?

Mourinho being in a good mood and saying nice things about the players is making me #MourinhoIn again. What a roller coaster ride. I'm also excited to see that Pogba-Pereira-Fred midfield again Sunday.

great play by rooney, but how do you send your keeper up for a corner in a 2-2 game?  unless they figured a draw is literally no better than a loss???

Without all 3 points, their chances at the playoffs are basically gone. It was the correct move.
