And they just put a nice chunk of change into a Soccer Hall of Fame there too. Would be weird to drop a ton of money a couple years before you skip town. I think at some point it could be a good move for FC Dallas to relocate, but not outside the metro area. Though Frisco really isn’t that bad, it’s right off the freeway and people in DFW drive. Public transportation isn’t like it is in most big cities. It’s about as far from Dallas as Rio Tinto is from Salt Lake. It’s just unfortunately in the corner of the metro, pretty far from Fort Worth unlike Rio Tinto that is still pretty centerned on the wasatch front. On that note, I like how Minnesota is building in between the 2 big cities, and think Dallas could benefit the same way at some point. Though I’m not sure the middle cities are that great to locate in within DFW.
Maybe not old but dated yes. Any soccer stadium now without a roof you have to say is outdated. With that said, I have to say I was in error about Dallas possibly being a target. I didn't realize they were building the National Soccer Hall of Fame right next to the stadium. Yeah, with that money being invested it is safe to say that the team is safe. Perhaps a renovation to the stadium, something like Toronto did, could be in the works sometime in the future.
Boehm: MLS's West is Cascadia’s world; the rest of us are just stuck in it Suddenly I'm real keen on the winner of the Houston/SKC game to take the west.
Lets be honest, if we had to played Vancouver I would expect a loss (though not to the same degree) as San Jose. Let them have their small moment in the sun (ba boom psh) they certainly earned it with their standings.
Cascadia has weather more similar to "Europe," meaning England. So, they will of coarse, win more. Now if MLS will just change the schedule to a "Europe" schedule the USMNT will win more. /s
Absolutely love that Atlanta lost. Maybe more accurately I'm happy that Columbus won and I will be rooting for them the rest of the way.
Yup, I'm pulling for c-bus now as well, how great would it be to see them with the Cup with all the bullshit going on with their douchebag owner?
I felt bad for ATL. Not because I feel their team deserves the (wayyyyyy overdone) hype, but because they were just fun to watch. All the hype that Garber and Co. put into them was fun to watch die at the hands (and a lot of posts) of the team in turmoil.
What was the deal when Atlanta subbed Martinez out? He stood there for awhile on the pitch, bent over, lowered his socks, took off what looked like tape, threw it on the field, and then slowly walked off the pitch with his shorts hiked up so far it looked like he was wearing 1960's hot-pants. Dude......get off the damn field, your team is trying to get a goal and win the game.
Yes! It gives you that warm, sipping-hot-cocoa-sitting-in-front-of-the-fire-in-Grandma's-rocker-wrapped-in-your-favorite-blanket-while-it-snows-outside feeling to know that their loss at RSL shoved them into 5th place hell and they crashed and burned.
Columbus trashing NYCFC 4-1. I think that's likely good enough to send them through to the next round. They also haven't lost since Aug 5th. I'm rooting for them to go all the way. If this is going to be their last year their, the fans deserve a cup.
I am mixed about wanting Cbus to win. It would be good for the fans, but it also gives Precourt more negotiating power. I want him to suffer for the crap he is trying to pull. The more Cbus wins, the better his position gets.
More negotiating power with whom? I don't think his position is getting better with anyone. I think everyone sees him for the liar he is.
Has Uncle Dell Loy had anything to say on the Columbus situation? I haven't seen anything in the papers unless I missed it.
