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.

that's a lot of houses. might have to rack up some FF miles doing this:

The USMNT factor is strong.

I always enjoyed how USMNT is very close to TMNT

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

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.

Beasley in talks with MLS.

So Beisler and Zusi resigned rather than go play in Europe? Are they unconfident losers?*

LMLSIQ

*kinda goEMAW'ing kinda not

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

mocat · « **Reply #2639 on:** July 21, 2014, 11:21:45 AM »

i'm very happy for SKC and MLS, but i also think it will be good for both players. they have developed into world-class talents here in MLS, no reason to think they have reached their respective ceilings with this team/league. it's very sexy time to be in MLS

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #2640 on:** July 21, 2014, 11:24:25 AM »

Good for KC in that case.

sunny_cat · « **Reply #2641 on:** July 21, 2014, 11:33:07 AM »

There are very very few teams capable of pulling something like this off.

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #2642 on:** July 21, 2014, 11:38:46 AM »

Guys I really enjoyed the WC and I want to be happy about SKC and stuff but its hard to not be angry. No one, not one person, gave an eff when they were the Wizards. Now the bandwagon overflowth. And, the fan base hasn't earned this, they've never suffered. i dunno guys maybe I'm just still sad because of the Royals suckage.

Tobias · « **Reply #2643 on:** July 21, 2014, 11:45:08 AM »

your beef is with the royals and chiefs, bud

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 (

); 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.

Is 32 the magic age to come over?

Beckham - 32
Henry - 32
Kaka - 32
Beasley - 32
Cahill - 32
