They need to get some quality refs before the casual soccer fan will start watching MLS week in week out. Even as a diehard it's tough to watch MLS games sometimes. Bad refs ruin the flow of games

refs suck across fifa

also s_c, maybe you should make a non-skc mls thread dunno

I'm with ya, 'clams. This is just something we'll have to deal with for awhile sadly.

In other news, DeRo goes back to TFC. EDIT: Nope, misread the tweet. Toronto is open to bringing him back. Not done.

How does everyone else feel about this? I'd be open to it. Would be especially useful in the off-season, and we could have expansion discussion there.

If I were a mod, I'd go through and clean up all the MLS crap from the SKC thread and move it here. Oh well.

I'll be here to talk MLS with you folks.

Going to be a fun off-season.

How many US born players are there in EPL right now? How many were there 20 years ago? How many Europeans are there in MLS now vs. 20 years ago? Serious questions. Rough estimates are fine, don't need names. Just trying to gain perspective.

Take it to the MLS thread, bub.

From what I understand, it was pretty rare to see an American play in England twenty years ago. I'm not sure about the difference in number of Europeans in MLS now and then. I'd say there are more now. To be fair though, there were only 10 teams then and 19 now.

sunny I am 100% against this. I am all for the SKC thread being a one stop shop for MLS

Tobias and pissclams told me to.

Anti seperate thread

scottwildcat · « **Reply #6562 on:** December 10, 2013, 02:12:26 PM »

I am on record for being against it.

sunny_cat · « **Reply #6563 on:** December 10, 2013, 02:15:06 PM »

Yeah. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

sunny_cat · « **Reply #6564 on:** December 10, 2013, 02:18:38 PM »

Anyway, friend of s_c and I are going to look into making the trip to Portland for the MLS ASG. Anyone else interested? It's probably not going to happen, but I've always dreamed of seeing a game in Portland. Would be crazy to see Bayern at the same time.

I don't think the date has been announced, but ours in 2013 was July 31.

Who would want to be in an MLS Fantasy league with me next season? I did it this season. Destroyed my league. #FanningBrag

Sweet. I mean, we'll have to wait till March or late February. I like soccer fantasy a lot. Gives you $100m to spend on a team of 15. No draft format.

Yeah, I did an EPL one this season. MLS is a lot easier for me.

Kljestan just scored in the Champions League for Anderlecht.
