News: 2018 Other Teams Discussion Thread (spoilers)

Well Sigi left the Galaxy today and no one seemed to care, so apparently everything is zzzzzzzzzz for this board.

 

Everyone feeling they had to echo Goff put the rest of us to sleep. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Obviously my attempt at humor either went over the head of some readers or I failed! But, I learned the difference between flamingos and herons. What about egret beaks?

That would really suck.

 

Philly continues to do embarrassing things.

She misspelled Phang

follow-up tweet: guys they said the snake magically grew its arms and legs while growing in a giant golden egg someone found at acme, duh

 

I like it a helluva lot more than the "Miami Fusion" (the original MLS team there).

In general I like that our league is a mix of international-sounding names and straight-up American names (Earthquakes, Sounders, Timbers, et al). Seems appropriate that it reflects a mix of cultures.

The worst name in the league, by far, is Red Bulls. As much as I despise them I actually feel sorry for their supporters.

 

I was just thinking about how the NE Revolution brand has gone from passé to nostalgically cool.

 

Nostalgically Cool
What a nice turn of phrase. I think that's what I'm aiming for now.

I hate people who quote themselves and I'm not a fan of posting Dan Loney - so why not do both in one post Throw in some ancient mythical creatures no one in their right minds could take seriously and it's a hat-trick of ridiculousness
But I found this a funny response to Phang's alleged existence.

That really is quite genius.

 

Nissan Stadium has the same wet spots as Audi Field. Maybe it's a car thing...

 

so ... Stephen Curry (a short NBA player) is taller than Zardes

 

Yes it would; but I would come all over myself just thinking how much it would bother all the Europeans who don't give a chance to US soccer simply because it is not as old and as deep as theirs. And I tell you this as a European, a continent that that I am really proud of being part of and represent. But I hate generalizations, superiority looks from high above and all these similar things. Honestly, f@ck that, and especially if they come from some ignorant people from my continent. On here, you see me as a measured guy, generally speaking nice and pleasant. But you have no idea the beast I become when somebody from overseas attacks US soccer, without having a clue of what they are talking about

 

It's not even Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, it's more like Venom.

 

As usual, he's right on all the line.

 

Matt Miazga is tall.

He's also a douche.

 

The other guy, even though he's shorter, is an even bigger douche

 

maybe, but he's way more talented than the taller douche

 

But not very smart. Around the 3rd grade I learned you don't pick a fight with a much bigger guy.

as a relatively short dude (who was skinny in school) I never learned this (bogus) lesson. You can hit more sensitive parts and are generally more maneuverable as a smaller person Easier to avoid big clunky swings too.
Plus I could run fast (until soccer ruined my knees anyway)

 

Most of the school yard fights I saw and the few I participated in devolved into wrestling matches: advantage big guy. Maybe I should have gone to your school. But hit and run would have been a good strategy. The lesson I learned though was to talk my way out of trouble.

Youngsters. The real equalizer is a rock.

 

Since we are speaking about US-Mexico, let me say that the dude who "sang" "his version" of the National Anthem should be horsewhipped, drawn and quartered. I not only would have knelt for that anthem, I would have put my hands over my ears.
