They have a very good point

The sarcasm in me says that this is because LA is out of cash. But, overall this is a good thing; helping teams sign and retain as many of their good young players as possible.

 

The overall quality of the league has not improved in the last 5 years so more investment isn't an option.

 

All that Herbalife doesn't sell itself.

 

Anderlecht playing away at Manchester United in 2nd Leg of UEFA Europa League SemiFinal. Although still apparently listed on the roster, Andy Najar is not on the field nor on the bench for the game.

 

Because that's not how a pyramid scheme works.

 

Very much disagree. TAM had made a big difference. Level stays up despite expansion adding a few teams.

 

PhiLOLdelphia.

 

Curtin has to be toast. Onalfo also should be getting crispy as well.

 

Agreed, LA look absolutely dreadful.

 

What's up with all the gray kits this week

 

Make America Grea(t) Again

 

(Groan)

 

I don't get it

Thanks. I thought they looked pretty good

 

Nobody sitting (or standing) in the Orlando sun this afternoon. That's about 1/3 the stadium.

 

New EngLOL.

 

NY Zombie Cosmos now have three former United players on their roster: Jacovik, Szetela, and Mancini. Guess which one can't crack the lineup?

 

Always rated Jakovic. Hope he enjoyed his time in Japan - didn't know he came back over.

 

They've been sneaking under the radar a bit but Philly has a 15-game winless streak. The MLS record of 19 is held by the North American Branding and Marketing Division of Red Bull N.A.

 

Portsmouth, saved by a supporters trust & a collection of presidents, now has an offer from Michael Eisner to buy them.

I guess Pompey would go from being a Mickey-Mouse team to being run by Mickey Mouse.
