Hello everyone, I am new! I hope to cheekily probe this forum for information! I am a football (soccer) obsessed Brit who hopes to learn a lot more about MLS generally. I write content for some UK based websites on a freelance basis. There is growing interest in MLS and I see an opportunity to start positioning myself as an MLS expert. To get there I need to do my research. I think by far the best way to shortcut this is to ask club fans their thoughts. So if one or two of you could indulge me.... 1) What do you think your team's prospects are for 2022 2) Who in your existing roster do you think can be a breakout player in 2022. Why? (By breakout player - I am thinking of someone who is currently on the fringes, but who you think will play MLS regularly next year with good success) 3) Is there anyone in your roster that you expect to leave and play at a top European club within a year or two. Do your think they would succeed? Why? 4) What is the atmosphere like at home games? 5) Who at your club do you expect to play at next year's world cup? Many thanks in advance to anyway who is prepared to share their thoughts
1 lousy unless they sign ronaldo and messi 2 slonina the gk 3slonina he is good and only 17 4 very good we have a loyal fan base but they moved to a huge 65,000 seat stadium which doesn't help 5 no one
1. Yo, I don't even know if 2022 is even gonna matter for this team. I don't even know if we'll be able to field a full 18 in 2022. This team has been a blank slate for three years now. 2. I don't think we even have enough of a roster to make that kind of prediction. Gaga Slonina is already on the radar, so it can't be him. I don't think anyone else on this roster is capable of being a "breakout player" at this current moment. If you want me to try to predict something, I'll say that either Missael Rodriguez will somehow get significant playing time next season for no reason or John Jader Duran actually turns out to be the Colombian Lukaku. Or, I could just say Brian Gutierrez, but even he's already on the radar, same as Gaga. 3. Gaga. He's currently ranked as the top goalkeeper in the world in his age group. I've gotta think that there's at least a Polish team looking at him, maybe even better than that. 4. It really depends on where you are. Sector is fun and loud, but the stadium is big and cavernous most days. There was one game where Sector was doing a protest and it felt like a high school game. I could hear players calling out to eachother from up in the 300 level. But that was an exception. 5.

Thanks for the replies guys. I am not detecting overwhelming enthusiasm for the year ahead!! Hope things get better
We're a bitter lot here. Think of Blackburn, or Forest & that's us. Used to matter, run into the ground, not a factor any more. Thanks for looking in and check back in a couple of years.
But at least we're not the Yellow F@&kin' team, the team Matt Reis' mother used to follow (while doing rude things) or the Dallas Burn.
I know this is wildly off topic, but you're not the honeybadger I've known from trilogy are you? Super small world if you are....
