I have never seen a single other MLS journalist call Seattle out for this and put them in the same boat as NE as they should.

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.

Not winning the league with or without him. He needs to go to NYCFC. If not Jan, then late Feb/early March.

Interesting take on the expansion draft from Thad Bell (who knows way more about MLS than me)

Now here's Gooch's list

Quote from: Thad

Matt Besler
Graham Zusi
Benny Feilhaber
Dom Dwyer
Aurelien Collin
Seth Sinovic
Paulo Nagamura
Ike Opara
Claudio Bieler
Jorge Claros
Martin Steuble

Both make good points about Myers. He won't be taken since he likely won't be ready to come back for awhile and may not ever be the same.

Hoping everyone but Collin (Ellis, Peterson Saad) plus the Spanish keeper. If we get Collin to sign, I'll be happy but I don't think that's happening.

^ MLS State of the League Address

If you have an hour to spare and are interested in the league, watch it. Lots of good stuff.

If Cubo stays in MLS, he wants to stay in LA (fwiw).

So I guess we aren't champions this year?

scottwildcat · « **Reply #5239 on:** December 07, 2014, 02:37:30 PM »

have seen quite a few SKC fans wanting LA to win because it would put them in the champions league and they want their "legs to be tired" lol not me. #TwoCupsForTeal #JJCup #LandonTears

I am all for the 14 Chivas fans doing that for a season before LAFC comes around.

There is a short trade window from 8am to 12pm tomorrow morning. Protected lists due at 12pm. I hope we move Collin to get something out of him.

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

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