Nicely done, /sp/.

Minnesota United.

>playing games during international break

This is why no one takes mls seriously

>>74877076
Just wait until we start spending and get some DPs in and actually get a stadium la

/lifelong/ since March 2017

>two goals 15 minutes in
at least its exciting to watch

You guys going to get relegated before you win anything of significance

>>74877212
Brazil does it

is demidov the worst player in the league?

L O O N S

>>74877448
Quite possibly
And Minnesota bought him with TAM

Although Heath said he saw him as a midfielder
It's strange to seem them sticking with in at centerback

The Loons manage to make the moribund Revs look good, wow

lol at least we got 1 point desu pham

Are there more revs fans on the other side of the stadium that we can't see?
They need a SSS asap

im watching NE vs MIN and im unironically enjoying it. are all mls matches so entertaining?

>>74877599
Any game with Minnesota in it is going to be a goalfest
There's quite a bit of semen slurping 0-0 and 0-1 matches when two teams with no offense go at it

This is the worst MLS team in history, relative to the other teams in the league.

Sure this Minnesota team would probably beat a 2009 Toronto FC pretty easily, but I dont think there has ever been a team that when compared to the rest of the teams in the league is so awful.

>>74877599
>>74877615
Colorado games are pretty bad but most of the games are pretty good.

Colorado only scored 2 goals against this United side. Thats how shitty their offense is.

Toronto's first season might have been worse (4 losses which they didn't even score in) but it's hard to believe that with Demidov Minnesota is that much better

>>74877693
Yes, MLS is a very attack minded, physical hoofball league
We don't have any of that gay tactical shit or defense

>>74877684
You can post this is for all of your sports

Naoko a cute! CUTE!

>>74877693
The parity in the league really does make it special. Any team can get the best of anyone else on any given matchday. Even the elite teams are only a few stars better than the rest of the field.

The games are good and getting better every year, and the overall competition is exciting because it really does feel like just about anyone can win it all in the end.

Except for Minnesota. They'll be lucky to win 4 games.

>getting their ass beaten by New Englel Revolution
>not even full time
Minnesota was a mistake

>>74877755
wtf i love minnesota now

>>74877724
If you take the average player on this Minnesota team, i would venture to guess its a much better quality player than the average player on just about any team from 2009. Thats just the nature of the leagues growth. A lot of the players who were regular 18 guys in MLS in 2009, would be on USL teams if the average quality of player in 2009 was what it is now.

>>74877735
In a sense the fact that Soccer isnt the most popular sport in the US has a positive effect on MLS. Because it has to compete not only with other sports, but a casual fan's perception of soccer as a boring sport, teams have a business incentive to do their best to field a tactically exciting team.

>>74877800
Compared to the rest of the world in 2007 and now I'm still not sure that Minnesota would win. Toronto had a bunch of players from the English Championship

>>74878091
Memeis and Orozco shouldn't be on the team so its all good. A shame about Brooks and Lleget though.

>>74878154
We have center backs
We don't have a bunch of forwards better than Morris

>>74877686
even when colorado loses its usually by one goal

>>74877693
It's because MLS doesn't have pro/rel. There is no stake not to go full attack every match. You can always try again next season usually.

Green is literally better than Memeis though. Memeis scores in a league with mediocre defending which is why he's pushed harder to the national team despite being a fusion of the worst kind of Altidore and Zardass.

All of you seem to be in the wrong thread

>>74878562
“I am so annoyed with the New England Revolution right now as a club. I don’t know what they’re doing, but it’s driving me mad. And I’m a New Englander, and I get it. In that past, that people didn’t mind driving to Foxborough. And yes, it was this regional team and you could pull people from New Hampshire, and Vermont, and Massachusetts, and Connecticut, and Rhode Island. It doesn’t work anymore.

Team Kraft, take some of those Super Bowl earnings and really, truly, invest them in your club. I am so sick of seeing that team in that empty stadium, playing on that turf with all those lines. It’s disrespectful to those players, to the club, to the fans, to the league. It drives me nuts. It drives me so insane.

Alexi [Lalas] hears this all the time on our drives to work, and he knows if he wants to rile me up — I’m not a riled up character, but he’ll just talk about, “how about the Revolution?” And I’ll go “my god, the Revolution,” and I’ll just start spinning out of control. And the stadium takes me there.

And you know what? The Kraft ownership takes me there as well. I appreciate what they’ve done for this sport in the past, and what they’ve done for this league in the past, but what have you done for me lately? Nothing. They have done nothing for the New England Revolution lately. They have disrespected that franchise for far too long and I’m sick of it.

I would pull them out of New England and give them to another city right now, if I had my druthers. They need to re-brand. I’m sick of looking at that uniform. I’m sick of looking at that logo and those colors. Like, show me that you care. Do something, anything, to really show the fan base, and to the national perspective out there, that you guys want to go forward. I love that team. I really want to see them succeed. But they have betrayed me and I’m so agitated with them, in case you can’t tell.”

>>74879451
He'll settle in a bit. Nothing wrong with grinding it out in the lower leagues until you're ready. I'd rather Green develop in the 2 Bundesliga until he's ready to become Wood 2.0 unlike Memeis who has already peaked and will get worse and worse with his mediocre touch holding him back.

>>74879860
I'm not particularly a memeis fan but he does have promise, I certainly don't think he has peaked because he's still young enough to get better technically, if he brings in his touch a bit and gets better at movement he'll be a nightmare to go against because of his physical traits


Green has a long long way to go, wouldn't even score as much as Morris if he was in MLS

NYRB looks like a pick up team

>>74880092
Memeis has mediocre development and wont improve much if anything in mls. Plus he's 23 which makes him old. He doesnt belong on the national team at this stage

Green otoh is actually a technical player with great attributes that came from being developed in Bayern's farm team which is why he is far more promising right now to become a good player in the future.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE NATIONAL TEAM DISCUSSION GET OUT

The NHL expanded to fucking Vegas, so anything is possible at this point. Honolulu NHL team when?

>>74880478
>23
>old
players like him generally peak in the 26-29 range

also

just because green came from a great teams development team doesn't mean he will pan out (not saying he wont, he has the ability to) but he has 1 goal above their shit tier league so until he actually starts producing Morris is objectively the better player right now and has shown that he has the ability to do well, Green is still riding off his meme world cup goal.

I hope they both pan out internationally though because it would only make us better

They need to eliminate cross-division games, or at east seriously limit them. It's hard enough now, and the teams aren't even allowed team jets.

12 x 2 games = 24 games, division only
24 + 13 games = 37 games total, which is what the schedule would be by 2020 with the new coming teams

are people really still this stupid in 2017?
Pro/Rel in US would result in a shitton more MNUFC disasters.

>>74902590
this.
Any promoted NASL/USL would have to increase their wage bill at least fivefold if not tenfold in order to compete in MLS.

>>74902590
>>74902709
Can we get a Britbong to rule on this?

The argument that "a promoted USL team would have to pay their players more" is bullshit, because they just won their fucking league on the old salary. What does the EPL do with a promoted team? And why bother when the league openly buys and sells players between teams, effectively opening the door to trade between any team regardless of tier?

>>74902590
>Pro/Rel would mean shitty teams in MLS
Not true. First of all, MNU doesn't suck because they're a first-year, we know this because ATL is currently winning games. Second, a team that's promoted has actually won something, which MNU still hasn't. *sad trombone*

>>74902961
I think generally there is a promotion raise for all players

But if there was pro/rel there wouldn't be an expansion draft
Minnesota and Orlando basically had to get someone richer to pay their way into MLS so I doubt they'd be able to afford all new players

>>74903289
Chicago weren't always this bad

No, I meant that their wage bill would increase because they'd have to buy MLS-caliber players, not because they'd pay the same USL/NASL tier shitters more
I also imagine there would be roster turnover of around 75%

Meanwhile, one of the richest teams in MLS plays in a baseball stadium.

wowee wowow wow

>>74905481
Fair. I guess it's not easy to just find a plot of brownfield in NYC to build a stadium on.
Anyway, USL (and NASL) need to improve their stadium standards so SSS becomes more common. Right now there are way too many baseball stadiums in the lower leagues. RGV has a really nice stadium (even has a fucking roof) for a lower league team.

>>74905481
was about to say this. looks like a neat comfy little stadium, but any place relevant enough for an mlels team is gonna have a harder time building.
cool that it is privately funded too, should be a given that.

literally nothing wrong with being ANTIFA, you get places like Russia under fascism, sure theres an argument to be made you should keep politics away from sports but american soccer has become the progressive liberal sport here just like how our society is slowly trending (this current disaster of an administration aside)

Fire owners actually seem to give a shit. If you want to make this argument look at Kraft. He makes his MLS team play with yellow lines over the gridiron, like it was the '90s or something.

http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2017/03/26/la-galaxy-lletget-sustained-no-significant-damage-injury-us-duty

it seems the injury is less serious than feared. LA Galaxy Insider Adam Serrano reported on Sunday that Lletget sustained a sprained left foot, with a medical evaluation showing "no significant damage" after he returned to Southern California.

Austin FC when?

>>74908915
san antonio fc is basically austin fc right?

>>74907943
>they've gotten DPs
Right, low budget ineffective literally whos like Shaun Maloney, Sherjill MacDonald, Kennedy Igboananike, and Gilberto. They got lucky with Accam, but they haven't had a real difference-making DP since Cuauhtemoc Blanco.
>managers
Has-beens like Frank Yallop, sure. The jury is still out on Pauno.
The owner has pretty much spent the minimum that he can without Garber coming down to force him to sell. Their training facility is essentially a parking lot, they have no USL team, the once-good academy is slowly being gutted. The team basically traded only for GAM/TAM last season so that Andy wouldn't have to spend his own money on players. I don't know whose decision it was to sign Schweinsteiger, but this and Nikolic are the biggest moves in just about forever.
Hauptman 100% doesn't give a shit and will sell once his accountant tells him he'll make enough of a profit on it.

>>74908934
In the same way FC Dallas is FC Fort Worth, or LA Galaxy is San Diego Galaxy.

So, not at all.

>>74909044
Look Hauptman isn't the AEG or the MLSE but that doesn't mean they haven't tried
They've had Ljungberg, Nery Castillo who at the time was on Mexico's radar, Arévalo Ríos who is still on the Uruguay NT, plus the ones you mention

Has he done a good job? No
He's hasn't done a great with the infrastructure but that's more active than most MLS owners

>>74909311
Andy's main redeeming quality is that he isn't Robert Kraft, yet somehow the poor, neglected Revs make the playoffs more often than the Fire do.
Sure, Andy has tried, but he hasn't tried very hard. Just the bare minimum needed to get by. This level of investment might fly in a tiny market like Salt Lake or Portland but certainly isn't good enough for Chicago. Andy needs to spend with the big boys or sell the team.
