2018 Preseason

The article mentions the parent companies (Disney) plans to create their own streaming service when the officially split with Netflix. I'm guessing they'll do a package deal at that point.

 

I would hope they just integrate it into Hulu now that they own a good chunk of it. It'd seem silly to create another streaming service. Although given everything they own now, Disney could pull off their own separate service.

 

I think this is why Mickey is heading that way. They have enough worthwhile content to stand alone.

 

Oh no!! A weekend marathon of Jar Jar Binks!!

An article on Major League Soccer Soccer's website that has a very heavy RSL lean to it considering how much we play our youth recently.

 

For those wanting to watch more than just RSL, MLS Live will be free until the ESPN+ app is up and running.

Pablo Ruiz joined the team this week
This seems to have taken longer in the past, so that's good

 

The KB training video is fantastic. Every 16-year-old should be shown this. "This is the next 20 years of your life. Quit now, or embrace it!"

 

I was also impressed (disappointed) with how he controlled the sailor talk.

 

No, that was just silenced out.

 

Then I'm impressed with the extensive editing they did to put together a video that long without a single ********

 

So, are going to plan a watch party this year or are we just going to keep to ourselves, like the introverts we are.

 

I was just thinking about that today. Let's do it! Always a pleasure to meet my fellow soccer nerds.

 

This preseason has felt very, very quiet. Not sure if that's a good thing, a bad thing, or just a thing.

 

Just as long as we don't have to hear Dunny rattle off all the "it's the rain! it's the crappy fields in Portland/LA/wherever! it's all the random injuries!" (etc) excuses like last year. I'll take quiet, quiet means work is being done without a lot of noise.

 

Ditto. It feels like they don't feel the need to already begin making the list of excuses to pull out and check the boxes as the season progresses.

 

Wingert made his retirement official today. It was on Facebook, so I don't know how to link that here.

It was sort of a foregone conclusion at this point, but I will miss seeing him on the pitch. My wife will miss it even more .

 

He always seemed to play smart, and was technically solid although with limited athleticism. I wonder which he'll try: coaching or real estate?

 

Doesn't have the 'stache for real estate, so I'm going with coaching.

This might work. Apologies if it doesn't.

 

Here's the Twitter post if you can't access Facebook.

What's his plan now?

You guessed it: Acting.

 

editing is a hell of a piece of technology

 

in what way? In terms of player movements it's felt a bit louder than normal. The actual games (which I believe you are referencing to) have been quieter but I think that's more due to the lack of streams/tournament.

the team webpage has videos up almost every day. They've been fun to watch
