News: 2018 Other Teams Discussion Thread (spoilers)

Honestly, I had high hopes for him but he hasn't done shit since arriving in the midwest. Minnesota is terrible with or without him. Best uniforms in the league though.

That KC vs. Chicago game from the weekend was insane. If you haven't seen the highlights, at least, I recommend it.

 

Pretty amazing finish to Toronto @ Tigres game. Toronto goes there and scores 2 only losing on a 93' pk but advancing on away goals. Imagine being ready to play only 2 games into the season!

 

Where did you watch the games? I looked for them (half assedly), but did not find them.

 

Go90 Ap has English broadcast rights.

 

UDN has shown and streamed all game in Spanish.

It's worth noting there is a website as well so you it's not necessary to watch on a mobile device. It is all still open and free.

 

Will Bruin suffers a concussion in CCL game: Seattle vs The Goats

 

"Alan Gordon, please pick up the rave green courtesy phone."

 

It was on one of the Spanish language channels , I think it was Univision Deportes.

 

Kreis on the bubble? One point from three games.

 

Too late, he signed with Chicago. Probably a better move given Seattle's current implosion.

 

Zlatan to LAG

Ibra is a great signing. He will come back healthy and will give a lot to MLS in terms of visibility and also on the field - if supported by a decent team. While I though that the signigns of Gerrard, A. Cole and to a certain degree also Pirlo would have been a flop, I have a completely opposite opinion in this case. In Ibra we trust.

 

This is one of the top goals IMO he scored - at least in Italy. Look like in a fraction of a second - while tha ball is bouncing - he looks to see how the keeper is positioned before deciding where to put the ball.

 

What are we talking about?

 

Last one I promise (maybe)

 

I may break my vow and buy a ticket regardless of price when he comes to DC.
I think it's a wonderful signing for the league and LA and will benefit all concerned.
Now to the question. In that his ego is huge and he hates 2nd place, what was the deal he got concerning a team of his own a la Beckham? He had to see it as a major point of competition and I can't see the guy coming for what would be a lesser value deal than Becks got.

 

I think Ibra realizes that this is going to be the last adventure for him, I don't think he's coming for the money even if probably with all the advertising rights etc he's going to make more than the 1.5M per season they are talking about. But if he was all about the money, he would be going to China or Emirates etc.

 

In the meantime, Juve is going to be playing the MLS All Stars game on Aug 1 in Atlanta. I am not crazy about MLS All Starts game, I've seen only one (at RFK, vs the USMNT) but I am going to seriously think about this one...

 

Remember these are young men who have had it all and face the prospect of having to dial back the only lifestyle the have known as an adult. They clearly aren't about the short term (china) but rather the long term and team ownership is a gift that keeps giving for generations. (Ask the Pittsburgh Steeler's Rooney Family) He has a deal with MLS for a deeply discounted franchise somewhere some time inthe near future

 

This should be fun

 

I can fairly say with confidence that I'm the only person in the world (excluding PSG players and staff) to see Zlatan's first and last games with PSG.

I was at the RFK game and I just happened to be in Paris for the 2016 Coupe de France Final.

 

Looking forward to seeing him in the league. One of my all time favs. His style should do very well in this league. I only wish it was with DCU. He'd be a great fit.

Here's my favorite goal of his...

 

I've always been partial to this goal:

 

Wow! That's a record for posts about another team's star without someone punking him.

 

he's definitely in for some culture shock. I wonder when he last flew commercial in economy.
