If an organization started an academy, and built a team from scratch, with no other signings, how long would it take (from the opening of the academy) to build an MLS caliber team?

>>76406087
Possibly. The biggest sack of bullshit getting thrown out to toss mud on FS was the assertion the were going to be able to buy the land at $10,000 an acre. The appraisals have blown that notion the fuck out, and the possible revenue that could go towards the city coffers have simultaneously undermined the bitching over the cost of $5 Million for the special election. There has already been some secondhand discussion that the Mayor is going to be able to apply leverage and this new information to pull some of the 8 City Councilmen back to his side to prevent the majority vote necessary to overturn his veto. One thing is for certain. Soccer City isn't as dead and buried as anons have made it seem within a few recent threads.

Depending on the size of the scouting pool, 4-8 years.

Basically once the academy is up and running, any local talent that would be normally be sucked into the college system could be picked up by the academy.

Any metro area could find enough raw talent to shape into a MLS tier team.

Problem would be the education aspect. What is the academy able to offer to compete with big HS and colleges?

>>76414306

It really is embarrassing.

An SF based team, in the city, would totally work. A San Diego team would probably work too.

I'd blame it on Sugarman more than Earnie, Earnie is doing his job which is finding unknown relatively low cost players that can compete in the league, Sugarman is a real estate guy who isn't mega rich to begin with, he wants to spend as little as possible to get in position to flip the franchise for crazy profit in the future


When Alejandro Bedoya at 1 mil transfer fee and 1 mil wage is our most expensive signing that says pretty much all we need to know about the type of signings we'd make

if the guy isn't bought on the cheap and willing to submit to the team over himself at reasonable wages they're not going to get him

for the foreseeable future they're looking to build the team through young homegrowns and thrifty foreigners... Jones and Trusty seem like they could be fairly decent in MLS, bringing up local guys is something I respect the Union for in spite of the fact that the franchise itself is cheap

>>76422420

He took on one player in the open midfield, then made the wrong pass.

Instead of the open option on the wing, he plays it to a man-marked Demps. It could have easily been cleared or intercepted.

Just because it works doesn't mean it was a good play. He then gets it back, and finally makes the correct choice in passing it to the open wide player, who then gets the assist.

And that was his only contribution to attack or defense all game. He jogged and stood around for the vast majority of his 73 minutes.

>>76422730
>that was his only contribution to attack or defense all game
Did you actually watch the game? Because I don't think you actually watched the game.

Really, he was absolutely unimportant. I am not sure why this is controversial, but go ahead and list all his key passes. Or any important tackles. Or any shots.

I'm sorry that I have a life, and I'm not able to shitpost with you 24/7

It really seems like you didn't watch the game, though. I know it's a cliche, but he really did do a lot of important work that didn't show up on the scoresheet. In the formation they were playing, his role is to be an outlet in the midfield, and get the ball up to the front 3. He played well, handling pressure and doing his usual strong one v one work. And he did track back and make some good defensive plays. I agree that he should have taken a couple shots, that's always been a problem for him. But he was definitely one of the better players out there for us, I don't know why you're being so negative.

>>76405002

So ESPNABCDISNEY FC™ published a piece today about how Nags put in a "stellar" performance.
The one thing they mentioned is the back pass to Yedlin.

He warranted two mentions in the Guardian's MbM, one of which was about a terrible pass he made. Nagbe wasn't mentioned at all in the full post game report.
So I'm not some random dumbass here, just to get that criticism out of the way.

He didn't do much. Objectively. You and I'm sure Arena will claim there are some intangibles there but they didn't come to much.

The only reason anyone could even claim intangibles is because we don't have any advanced statistics for the game. If we did, I am sure that Nagbe's passing would have been below average for the team and that his number of touches would have been way below too. He wasn't involved on the ball, not entirely his fault, but he doesn't deserve praise for his dribbling skills.

Then the claim about his off the ball: he doesn’t move with anything approaching normal human movement. Thats what stands out most and drew my eye last night. He is slow as shit, especially when you see Yedlin running next to him. And he doesn't actually get open all that much. He jogs around the same area most of the time regardless of what is happening on the field and who is around him. I can't recall any rapid movements or quick pass and move plays from him.

He is subpar, at least in that position and with this team. He did nothing of note in the Venezuela game and the single one-to-one dribble with the bad pass in this game.

If he does something in the Mexico game I'll reevaluate, but if he plays like he has with the last two performances he shouldn't be in the squad and Mexico's midfield will pick him apart.

>>76429739

Altidore got bullied, Howard is a disaster waiting to happen (SOON), Bradley at one point literally ran to the penalty spot to receive a pass from a defender and pass back to Howard who cleared it into touch.
Then Pulisic was GOAT.
They could have been down 2-0 at the half, but could have scored four in the second.

Underwhelming and unconvincing for all but the AYSO families and AO rubes

>>76422254
A hat store?

>>76430846
Until we have stats, it's clearly going to be subjective. My perception of the game was that he played decently well in the role he was put in. In your perception, he did next to nothing. Whatever, I don't think we can solve this here.

Anyway, he's obviously not the best player on the field for us, but I think he's earned his spot on the team.

>>76440081
when you don't have facts on your side, you have to invent them.

Except the cosmos, fuck the cosmos and their fans

>>76441129
well hopefully, not so sure usl would be fine losing out in that deal, and i'm sure they would rather do it on its own and saving the teams who want saving.
nisa doesn't seem like it will work out if it tries to be its own thing if/when nasl fails. not to mention it sticking with the east to start means we'll never get an western team, which i guess makes sense since travel costs would be a killer.

so what's the /mls/ verdict on nagbe? keep hearing from sawkerfags on pods/twatter that he's the best thing since sliced bread, but personally i never rated him from the few games i've seen the tumblers, but am i missing something here?

>>76441771

>>76441129
I'm pretty sure I'm a different anon
>naturalized citizens
Pretty sure that's not what I complain about
For example, I'm not questioning Nagbe's commitment to the team and the US
It's a lot easier to see Nagbe considering himself to be an American over being a Liberian, even with him declining a callup, than see Dwyer considering himself to be an American over being English

So much happier when this thread picks up tomorrow.

If Kellyn Acosta is our attacking pivot in the CM role and is 21, who takes our defensive pivot role when Michael Bradley retires out of the CM position since he's 29

I think Nipples just plays a standard Right Mid, with support from the fullback.

Which would seem like the ideal set up with Yedlin allowed space to attack and Pulisic to control the right half of the final third.

Not sure how good Nipples is at covering in defense, but it isn't like Nags did much

>>76461260

>>76461334
seeing that he's 27, he's a preview of the type of talent with some forging, could be first team, but with our pay2play and crappy scouting systems lots of these types of players are getting left behind.
300+ million people here, lots of hidden talent in here somewhere, we just need a better system to get to them and not they hope they win some univision reality show to get into a now defunct mls franchise.
also, should change how the mls academies handle the kids, apparently some mexican club scouts get to the kids when they are practicing and we bleed some talent there. lots to do to get better

Is there a city or state in the United States, where soccer is the most popular sport and where Major League Soccer (MLS) is the dominant professional sports league?


I look for a place in USA where the MLS (major league soccer) and soccer surpass in popularity to NFL, MLB (major league baseball) NBA and NHL all combined


A place in usa, where only soccer and MLS are popular, and where the other

>>76488765

And don't you fucking dare say Horvath

>>76488647
Howard, Bradley, Pulisic, and Dempsey probably start

>>76488943
Portland and Columbus are probably the closest, honestly
The only other thing Portland has is the NBA
And Columbus only has the NHL, but they do of course have Ohio State in college, but that's not pro

>>76489174
My only more or less viable option is Columbus

There are only won the MLS Cup


What happened to Utah?

The real salt lake is the only professional champion in Utah.

Jazz sucks

>>76489174

And the Crew has a higher average attendance than the Blue Jackets

>>76488943
lol it doesn't matter. after 20 years we finally have a world class system in place starting to produce players.

the MLS will be a billion dollar league in no time. and once the salary cap is gone we will have some of the best sides in the world, just from buying players from other leagues

I don't think I saw him do his stroll/jog thing even once. I guess they really were trying to get jurgen fired.

>>76501810
>>76502330
the key to Bradley has always been giving him someone he can work with in the midfield
the days when Jones could reliably fill that role are long gone

>>76502477
>when your team fell for the JJJ meme
g-goddammit

>>76502477
Even when he was good he wasn't that type of player
He was at his best when the US played with 3 central midfielders that could cover for him

>>76502514
there was a very narrow window where it worked and worked WELL; we were fortunate that it happened to overlap with the 2014 World Cup

>>76501794
Watch the '13 match in the Azteca and watch that last one and you can definitely see why Arena is far superior to Klinsmann
We had one shot total in 2013
We had a bunch today even on goal

It was always gonna be hard to dominate the game given the altitude

>>76502615
the '13 team didn't have the offensive weapons this one does: bunkering was the right call, even if it required heroic goalkeeping from Howard
wtf was Guzan doing in net today

>>76502814
That Mexican team couldn't do anything offensively though
They only had 1 shot on goal I think

I had totally forgotten about Howard injuring his leg on that kick
Given how many more he would have to do it was probably better to just let Guzan in goal

>>76502615
But we only had 2 shots on target for this game - 2bh we would have had more had Wood and Gonzalez not choked their chances. Mexico only had 1 shot today though so I guess it evens out.

>>76503336
We had 6 more shots and I think 3 more corners
We definitely had more chances and more possible chances on the break

The game in Korea was pretty different from this one
In 02 they tried to go through the wings
Today it was over the time and through the middle

Why did he start Beasley over Villafana? If we wanted to bunker up we could've had a pacey beaner like Jorge defend and we might not have conceded our goal because Beasley failed to keep up with Vela since hes like 40

>>76503438
arena probably went with experience, but supposedly villafana got injured in practice. he wasn't even available as a sub.
apart from these two, >we are kinda running on empty in that position.

>>76503438
Because there was only 2 days rest and they was 2,000 feet higher
If the Trinidad game hadn't been such a must win then maybe you play Beasley Thursday and Villafaña today but Arena didn't have that choice

>>76503438
Also that wasn't Beasley's fault
Someone in that mass of people should have helped

>>76497778
Our boy is so cheeky.
