This framing from @bwarshaw14 re: this year's #CCL seems like the correct one to me.https://t.co/GpeOBjaFfL pic.twitter.com/6X50yIeiKK— Matthew Doyle (@MattDoyle76) March 15, 2019
So the "if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle" type of argument. The thirst for recognition and relevance is primarily driven by the American soccer media, not the fans. The fans eat it up because it helps them shape their narrative but it's mouthpieces with microphones and blogs that spend every January pumping sunshine into their soccer landscape and jawing about the "gap" and whatever other nonsense only to end up with the same results year after year. It happened during Real Salt Lake's run in 2011, it happened when Montreal got past Pachuca in 2015 and it was especially loud last year with Toronto. It's like a dozen John Sutcliff's constantly predicting and preaching success that never comes. And nobody calls them out. Then they gotta reshape things a bit and talk about hypotheticals. If Atlanta had managed the first leg better, if the RedBulls had drank RedBull during the first leg vs Santos, if Don Garber had paid CONCACAF to get his teams into the Club World Cup University.... Just do the talking on the field.
That same narrative was being pushed by Mr. Univision. Apperantly Atlanta wasn't that bad because "look at the second game we won!" Not taking into account Monterrey was in cruise control.
Speaking of Univision - absolutely awful during the Monterrey v atl game. Dude was about to blow a load at every counter by atl.
That's why I have been watching the games on Yahoo Sports. The announcer is pretty good for one guy and is pretty impartial. I hope they have the Concachampions again next year.
Comedy gold. So basically if you take out the moments where goals were scored than it’s an even game.
Do the math man, of you take out the goals that Santos and Monterrey scored the MLS teams would have advanced.
If MLS teams hadn't conceded more goals than they scored, they would have advanced. ********in derp ass arguments.
Why the fuck are we talking about Liga MX on this broadcast? Someone stop this madness. Someone get me these announcers handles please— MLS Transfers (@MLSTransfers) March 16, 2019 So salty
Hicks crying about the channel that has overrated crap MMLS more than FOX + ESPN Deportes combined is hilarious
Alphonso Davies has now scored more league goals as a left back than Diego Lainez has as an attacker since moving to Europe but.. https://t.co/wVl2spJxQA— MLS Buzz (@MLS_Buzz) March 17, 2019 Always on their minds lol
a Canuck is their new hope seeing how useless Pulisic cant grab headlines in a weekend where RJ9 & CH14 scored
Wow he scored the 6th goal of a route that came off a rebound, meanwhile lainez scored a clutch goal to tie the game in the last minutes. Hmmm.
specially now that Canada is working on their independence from anything US Soccer related, even they know that ship is sinking.
Just going to completely ignore Chucky, HH, and Tecatito right now 1109663346532454401 is not a valid tweet id
I don't know. The MLS thing is stupid but I think the Vela thing is not that far off. In term of talent, he's might be right.
Yup. When he's willing to be at his very best, Vela is at least the equal of them. Problem is, he's not always willing.
Hey, JT, if this doesn’t make you “Cry Me a River”, “Say Something”. No need to wear a “Suit & Tie” just “Rock Your Body” and bring “SexyBack”. “Not a Bad Thing” could come from this cuz remember, “What Goes Around..Comes Back Around”. “My Love”, -GZ @jtimberlake https://t.co/f1I70LxXo8— Graham Zusi (@gzusi) March 21, 2019 All the nads are fuckin dorks.
