I think this season overall in MLS was rather poor. The best teams were not that good. So I think teams that are solidly organized win alot more...
I'm a Newcastle fan and I don't want any american players going there. It's a blackhole to talent. At least as long as the current regime is there.
D.C played Atlanta this weekend, I was pretty excited to see Paredes and Bello. Paredes clearly looked talented, but Atlanta just bodied him and...
Glass half full / Glass half empty It will definitely help getting Pineda into Atlanta for hopefully some stability. I did think that Bello made...
FWIW Bello has looked much much better for Atlanta since returning from the Gold Cup. Rob Valentino, Atlanta's interim coach, said something to...
I just wanted to quote your post to agree with every single name on your list. Especially the USL names since I follow that a little more closely....
Ah just barely
I haven't seen him mentioned much, but Tomas Romero has been starting for LAFC this season. He has not doing too poorly even though they gave up 4...
My two cents is you need to wait a full season before calling any coach a success or not. So the jury is still out on Losada imo, but he is doing...
I liked Osmanbasic when he was with the AUFC academy, it's a good hire over there
Yeah I agree with DMN about Honduras. I just think when they have guys like Elis counterattacking, they can be so tricky to play against. Also, I...
The news this past weekend is that Monteiro will be on his way out. Gazdag takes his place I assume, but Monteiro leaving balances out a little...
Ah I knew I was forgetting someone. I think I'm just bitter because when he first started out with Portland, his teams played some of the nicest...
I think the best coaches in MLS are relatively straightforward: Brian Schmetzer - I was pessimistic about how good he was, but Seattle win all...
I also think leagues in Europe (England specifically) have a history of just using the same coaches over and over. Managers like Steve Bruce, Roy...
I agree with this. I do think we undervalue American coaching talent just a little. My only contribution to the foreign vs domestic based coaches...
Well people like Paul Tenorio and Sam Stejskal always bring up the track record of foreign coaches in MLS. Some are good, but only one or two have...
Yeah Brooks Lennon was maybe the only player who looked quite good this season under Heinze so it's not surprising
I agree with everything else said, but Brooks Lennon did say this: "“A little bit surprised,” Lennon said. “I have nothing but respect for...
Yeah Bocanegra and the FO have changed strategies in youth development, coaching styles, and secondary transfer plans three times in the four...
For sure. But Alan Franco and Anton Walkes are his competition when Robinson returns, who are good players and one is even a DP, but both are far...
FWIW I thought Campbell was pretty good this weekend for AUFC. He was definitely culpable for the only goal scored by the Revs, but he looked good...
Timely information: https://theathletic.com/2698392/2021/07/09/mls-inter-miami-claure-boasvista-transfer-fees/ FC Dallas and Houston are still...
This might be a bad take, but I actually like what Atlanta are doing with RRN. Guzan is a good goalie still, but more than anything he is one of...
It's a tale as old as time, foreign GM comes into MLS and overrates foreign players over domestic talent. There is a reason that most teams that...
