Eerstedivisie, which means "first division", which is obviously the Dutch second division. The only club, as far a I know, named after a satellite.
MLSPA released Salary info: https://theathletic.com/2901548/202...ng-in-2021-as-new-signings-add-to-wage-bills/ LA Galaxy have the highest payroll ($20.32M) in MLS this season, and Colorado ($9.89M) will finish with the lowest.
Totally stolen from another comedian - David Feldman. Right down to targeting the Dutch. Hopefully he was one of the writers.
Ahhhh... the 1960s and early '70s, when the world was caught up in the space race and a telecommunications satellite not only inspired the name of a Dutch soccer club, but influenced the design and branding of the Adidas Telstar soccer ball. Simpler times.
The salary release has two things that jump out to me. Seven of ten teams in the top ten are in the playoff race. Meanwhile eight of ten in the bottom ten are still in he race. Parity at its finest. . Second, signing players for big money who are over the age of thirty doesn't guarantee much other than they probably don't play the whole season.
Somebody is going to have to explain to me how the Coach of the Year race isn't just a decision between Fraser and Arena.
Lawsuit coming! https://www.transfermarkt.us/strube...r-quot-to-make-the-next-step/view/news/394222 Struber: There are a few, but, in particular, two people stand out, who inspire me and to whom I look up. On the one hand, there is Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool; he has done a fantastic job motivating his team over a long period of time. On the other hand, Ralf Rangnick has created a one-of-a-kind project in the Red Bull cosmos. His persuasiveness and tactical knowledge have influenced me while I was working in Salzburg.
There are a lot more players than there were in 2014 but the median salary is up 217% from $92,000 to $200,000.
