What makes you think he'll get a year plus? If they go down he will be gone just like every other manager there when that happens.
this point is very true. Its not a bad idea if you are a new team and trying to get as many people as possible to sample the product but if you...
For the most part when you watch MLS games now the crowd looks pretty close to the number they post with the exception of Houston. They remind me...
Well said. Some of these people on these boards have almost a flex reaction to these types of signings. Im convinced they want MLS to be nothing...
sad
It was more fun when they were in Arrowhead and people could call for them to be moved after every game.
Move Dallas now
ah the turf issue.
Hardly. Seattle, Atlanta, NYCFC and Vancouver are the same thing as NE. Those other teams don't get the same heat that NE does just because they...
Don't see why they cant both exist. It strikes me as an apples to oranges type thing. One is low budget the other isn't.
IMO, the only two ways to really measure improvement would be: 1. Are the teams performing better against other leagues in competitions 2. Are...
I have the same question as you and I posed this in another thread and got flamed but if the players are so much better now then say 10 years ago...
The average number has been skewed by the dp's that exist. I was referring to the other 90% of players in the league who largely determine the...
That is important and the other metric is the league producing more players now then say 10 years ago that other leagues covet? That doesn't seem...
I wasn't wrong about that when the Hunt's owned the team. They were even looking to do it themselves.
Im sure they'll get one. By the time MLS is done Cedar Rapids will have a team. But don't worry that wont water down the product at all as I've...
I guess quality of play takes a backseat to 100 million dollar expansion fees.:rolleyes:
The conundrum of MLS in a nutshell. Not sure how that dynamic changes either? Those teams basically been stuck seemingly forever.
Pathetic
I second this. I have 2 friends myself who never paid attention to soccer at all but really enjoyed watching the world cup as it was all over the...
I agree. It still isnt viewed as a major event by the average general sports fan like those others are. Even in Portland, MLS has a great group...
This post about local interest only turned out to be true. The game got a 5.1 in Columbus and a 7.4 in Portland. Nice local numbers but small...
I like this idea. MLS is past the point where attendance is a problem for any night of the week for these type of games and certainly would have...
Ouch! That is really poor. I'd guess going head to head with NFL and two small market/starless teams were a recipe for disaster.
