Re: The Expansion Draft Thread It's 10:06 AM PT and still no expansion draft results at mlsnet.com. What's going on, MLS??!!! I just wanted to be the first to complain. Carry on...
Re: The Expansion Draft Thread The anticipation is killer. I'm sure everyone is upset, just as you are.
Re: The Expansion Draft Thread it says on the sounders site that the results will be posted tehre at 12noon pst, so in 3 hours.
Re: The Expansion Draft Thread There is a press teleconference scheduled for noon Pacific. I'm not sure if there will be a release sent out before then, but we'll all be watching in case...
Re: The Expansion Draft Thread I'd imagine that Ives or Goff get the list before that. The Wizards blog says we should know around 12:45 central time. http://hillcrestroad.blogspot.com/2008/11/expansion-draftscience-of-soccer.html
Re: The Expansion Draft Thread I saw in an earlier press release that the draft is taking place @ 1pm EST, and that the results will be posted @ Noon PST. So is anyone on the inside that can text us some players as they are drafted between the two times?
Re: The Expansion Draft Thread Might be the best list I've seen. Maybe Ricketts in TFC instead of Ruiz.
Re: The Expansion Draft Thread I thought about Ricketts but Sigi tried to bring Ruiz to Columbus so he is one of the few MLS coaches who still likes The Fish and I am sure that Toronto would be happy to dump him.
Re: The Expansion Draft Thread http://www.rojomania.com/ CSD's webpage (the team that owns Pappa). I think they're just guessing, but if Seattle were interested in Pappa, they probably have already contacted them about the loan deal, as it's likely sticky. As a Fire fan, I'm nervous.
Re: The Expansion Draft Thread Welcome to the club! As an LAG fan, I am very much afraid that Seattle will not take any of our players.
Re: The Expansion Draft Thread Again, I doubt there's an actual draft taking place. There's no reason for it because Seattle doesn't have to wait between picks. They submit the list of 10 players to MLS by 11 PST. MLS takes an hour to contact all the players affected and let thme know, then sends the press release and holds the press teleconference at 12 PST.
Re: The Expansion Draft Thread Sounders FC club announcement via teleconference to media starting at 12:00 Noon Pacific. Not sure if they are releasing any info. before then.
Re: The Expansion Draft Thread Other blogs (Hillcrest Rd/KC) say they expect to hear something around 12:45 CST. That would be now.
