Miami-Barcelona Expansion & Bid Discussion Part 2

This is just a negotiating tactic. MLS probably wants something the Miami bid doesn't want to give up. Now they come out with negative news to deflate MLS.

If it was that Barca was leaving the bid, then the announcement would have reflected that.

 

Well how about, the owner of the Dolphins here? What if he joins Claure and Barca in the ownership of MIami MLS, I mean look at Seattle? I believe one of their strong points and fanbase, is that their team is associated with the NFL team, that makes them bigger because when the Seahawks are not playing they have a soccer team to watch. The way Seattle has their site up is perfect, the teams compliment each other on thier own websites, thats a way of getting the Miami team bigger and better if Barca decides to bail out the bid, and everyone knows here in south florida the dolphins are the biggest and most popular around here...

Call Steve Roth and tell him to join the revolution of Miami MLS!!

 

How about avioding Maihami and just pick from the other 4 more solid picks?

maimi has always looked like the gold spray painted plastic bid while the other 4 are copper, castiron, steal and brick bids solid just not as flashy...which would you build your house with?

 

Official of what? Oliver's statement is so couched in lawyer speak that I can't even decide what it is exactly he is saying. "We are evaluating" isn't close to the same as "We have ended our interest." How on earth have people leapt from "We are evaluating" to the Miami bid is dead?

 

Hey.... How about NO!!
Just go home and worry about your expansion team. why you have to call us fake? You live in OreyGon, we live in Miami (not Maihami). How whack is Oregon? Look, just because Barca wants out the bid doesn't mean it wont work down here? It didn't work down here for the Miami inaugural seasons (4) because the MLS was a crapt garbage ass league!! The MLS is ten years older and they are starting to get A hair on thier chest!! So Miami with out Barca, can and will work if Barca decide to bail out. MLS was treated here as if it was an extreme sport like hockey is here, but wake up USA!! soccer is a WORLD CLASS sport and way more popular than any major sport in the USA, when MLS had the 3 series games in the play-offs, that was freakin sad, but I guess it was the only way to get them to where they are now. So to everybody else out there who says we are fake, we aint, we don't need Barca to get a team down here, we can get one with out them and still be great. You Know Why,(oh boy now he got me started) because we are Miami, the Magic City, the true city that never sleeps; Miami is the city that everybody despises because of the weather, the beaches, the beautiful women, great sports teams, the people, the lifestyle. So Miami we dont need another team to get a team here or to be great or to be noticed, we just need to believe. we can make it!! jajajaja Miami I Love You!!!!
So lets go Miami!! Atletico Miami HP!!! Lets make Claure feel that we can do it without Barca, Show your Miami Pride, leave your pride from your background for other things but not for the Miami team, if we get a team here we need to be Miami as one, we have to have the same pride behind this team, put the differences and cultures behind, and bring the Miami culture and pride out.... We are Miami!!!!!

 

How about you stop trolling and GTF Out of here? Go Bring that crap over to the hater-infested N&A. This is the Florida board. You do not belong here, you punk ass moron.

 

lOL jajajaja you tell em esteban!! Oregon? pfft what a joke!!

 

And I am sure Rowdies II will be awesome and fail proof. You know because Tampa is such an awesome sports town with loads of tradition.

 

Go troll somewhere else. Seriously.

 

It didn't work because Miami has a history of teams not being successful draws. Considering the MLS still doesn't have a great TV contract they need to draw. I could offer you numbers from every sports team in Miami as proof but you probably don't care about that.

Yeah, but Miami is in the USA. Who cares about what England or Italy thinks about soccer? We already know they love it. People in the US have to show they love it. You know how much Miami loves it? Enough to have a franchise fail once already and for their USL squad to be the worst attended team in the league at 1,700 per game. If there is such a fan base where are they? Why don't they turn out?

Your love of Miami is very moving. It still doesn't mean you can put butts in the seats. Without Barca and their backing this is just like any other bid and realistically there are other bids out there (St. Louis, Portland and Vancouver) that have a history of supporting soccer. Miami has a sports history of being a really nice place to live and visit but also with a sports history of nobody showing up to games unless they win. Even when they win sometimes people don't show (i.e. Marlins).

Without Barca this bid is a big scary risk of a bid. That's a valid argument. You rah rah all day about how awesome Miami is but in the end they need more than sexy and nice weather.

 

why is it when someone says the truth they always respond with "troll"?
