He needs to learn the coaching thing in an easy place to coach, like Argentina, before facing the rigors of MLS. It's hard to match wits with Jay Heaps.
But I don't wanna be royally f###ed! You mean like: Not that we played a bad match at all, actually better than I thought we would... but the Fire played better. We may have out possessed, but the Fire played solid defense mostly, countered well and, oh!, capitalized on their opportunities. Tchani is balls. Unless someone can teach him how to execute what he sees on the pitch, we can't afford to play him. Turnover machine. At times, its like playing 10v12
I have circled February 4th (the week) as our turn around. Coincidently that is also the end of the Lanus' season (if i understood their Apetura and Clausura)
and HSG come back and say, Mark, why did we sign him to an extension only last year. let's face it, this is not going to happen.
I think the most likely scenario is that the FO releases a statement about the fact that attractive soccer is not really part of the soccer culture.
Four years under Warzycha: 2-5-2 against middling Chicago 3-4 record in Open Cup (all three wins in 2010. In 2008, 2011 and 2012, we lost in the first round to lower division opponents.) Failed to advance in all 3 post-season series. A story of consistent decline. From inhereting double-winning massive club: 2009: Won Supporters' Shield, lost to RSL in 1st round of playoffs 2010: Home-field advantage (2nd in East), lost to Colorado in 1st round of playoffs 2011: played away as Wild-card, lost to Colorado in new even firstier first round of playoffs 2012: danger of missing playoffs
Players weren't responsible enough Failures reside on captains whose first match back from injury were that match we were the better team? 2009:benched best player because its turf and he's not as effective, but coaching clearing got us the SS 2010:not as good result but that's because he's dealing with an aging squad 2011:this was really his team for the first time in his tenure 2012:not able to get all the final pieces until late season, so he obviously needs another 34 matches to really get his play culture in place How was that? Did I follow the script pretty well? If not, it's not my fault. FIRE WARZYCHA!
I DO admire some of the troll work in other threads though, so it might be entertaining. Troll on trollahs!
Well if anything has been proven, it's that Warzycha deserves another 34 games to show what he can do with the squad. Four seasons of unmistakeable consistent decline hasn't been enough.
Based on these results, RW & MM were right about 2011: it wasn't a "rebuilding" year, it was a "further destruction" year.
Does anyone remember the MLS cup? Despite winning, we weren't the better team. Now, we are the better team on most nights, at least in the mind of some Poles. That is really what an authentic soccer atmosphere is all about.
i was going to say that results aside, our performances have been sub par for the most part too. so RW is a double threat.
2013 - Ripped to the studs, electricity and water removed. Applying for building permits. Funding denied by the builder. Finish 3 points above TFC. 2014 - Plastic wrapped around the frame. Water filling up the foundation. Finish at the bottom of the league. 2015 - Welcome the San Diego Sockers to the MLS.
If RW continues to coach the Crew the following will happen: Mayan Calendar edition Barbasol yanks their shirt sponsor in favor of a "more natural look" Eddie's facial hair is forcibly removed only to reveal another beard. The Crewzers are rehired Crew Cat is replaced with Crew Dog because he is man's hardest working fan. The Crew are rebranded to Sporting Crew and adopt a Clarett/Blue jersey. Padula & Schelotto defeat the Dayton Dutch lions in the Open Cup and then defeat the Crew in next round. Eric Wynalda is hired as Technical Director due to his ties to FSC and ability to find talent for his amateur team. Bliss is fired. John Harkes sleeps with McCuller's wife. Frankie gives up drinking Harkes sleeps with Warzchya's wife. Crew Stadium is relocated to Las Vegas Brad Freidle becomes the Columbus Crew goalkeeper coach and the back up forward. Players are now paid with magic beans and rainbows. Players are paid bonuses per tweet that mentions how Massive the club is. "Dare to be Massive" is kept as the Crew marketing slogan but secretly transitions into a mockery of the size of Marshall's head. Chad Marshall grows a unicorn horn. Duncan Oughton sleeps with John Harkes wife. Oh and the number one thing: Danny O'rourke scores a goal: the other team walks off the field in disgust.
