Hmm. Never saw this thread coming.
Don Garber, the whole press conference https://soundcloud.com/soccerlycom/don-garber-teleconfrence-about-klinsmann
Hmm. You all sound the same eventually. I do know that a total stranger expressing familiarity with me on his brand new BigSoccer Account is...
Thou art Tommasch.
My chart was based upon average attendances.
Not necessarily. FIFA has stripped top division status before. And I've never seen FIFA apply anything "across the board". If they want to go...
It's been batted around for a little while now. Yesterday's announcement led some people to act.
There are people organizing. They're just not here.
I'm noting an upward trend, not equating the two. Ya, gotcha. Ok. I was talking about Cosmos numbers when I wrote that, but digress away.
That said... NASL's current benchmark for profitability is, per the commissioner, between 4,000 and 6,000. So.... owners will be quite happy with...
Yes, that's how a number line works.... When Indy and Minnesota are sporting 8-10K crowds (and likely Ottawa's), we know we need to do something....
Are crowds of 6000 (Chivas) similar to 10000 (Indy)? Is 15000 (Ottawa Opener) similar to 18000? Yes, NASL's attendance numbers are lower. But...

There's a lot of dumb in MLS if you know where to look.
Liviu Bird wrote a follow up with an interview with Bill Peterson. The title: NASL's response to MLS: Promotion-relegation is viable in North...
Right from the Galaxy's website. I suspected they counted it oddly when it said "39 MLS cups" and there's only been 18 MLS seasons. But hey, from...
I'd say if DCU had to win 4 games, and they successfully did so to gain the trophy, THAT THEY EARNED IT. But of course, that goes against the...
I thought they didn't care. That's what @Jewelz510 said. That excuse works one game. It barely works two games. When you field your best team and...
...yup In 2012, LA came in as the MLS Cup Champions. In 2013, LA came in as the MLS Cup Champions. In 2014, LA came in 3rd in the Western...
That leads to merger. So, ah, no. Do I sense hostility? Over and over and over. [IMG] Yes. Apathetic. An embarrasment is what it is. BTW--...
Actually, yes, it kind of is, as it was a tournament, not a one-off. You mean like how Carolina beat the LA Galaxy in USOC, and then did it...
No... can you think in any terms that involve, dunno, soccer?
