MLS is a fucking disgrace to American sports, it's embarrassing to watch. How do guys take this garbage seriously. What's even worse is the American hipsters who use football vernacular and think they know everything about sport. Fuck the MLS and fuck all the fake fans

>>74479702
Dont forget our new stadium bro.

We are going to rape this league and fuck spic boipussy in the CCL and win a domestic treble + CL

I am not a falseflagger btw

>>74479675
Without college soccer there would be no soccer in the US
Also college soccer is about as foreign as the EPL now so idk what you can complain about
It's the development of players before the age of 18 that's lacking
You know before college

>>74479761
>because Target is NOT /myguys/
what did she mean by this anons?

Which stadium is Minnesota playing in this season?

>>74479785
College sawker fucks over young players because the quality is so abysmal and the season too short.

Not one good player has ever come out of the college system. And those that have did most of their training in National team academies or recent mls/usl academies.

>>74479814
The outdoor stadium the Vikings played in the season before last

Minnesota has a team? Why?

Who /ayyy/ here

>>74479820
That's true
I'm not sure what you're mad about
The college system wasn't constructed as a development program for making professionals
It's basically more organized intramurals

You should be mad about the reliance on college soccer for professional development

>>74479857
yes
We're really lucky they didn't go with this option

Is the new Vikings stadium not soccer compatible?

>>74479899
Formation. Going from back to front

>>74479864
>You should be mad about the reliance on college soccer for professional development

Thats a meme. The superdraft is slowly becoming irrelevant. Nowadays mls recruits in the international market. The last generation of 30 something year old mls players who began playing in college are a dying breed. The new recent academies are already producing players for MLS 3.0 for 2020 and beyond. College sawker is a thing of the past for the league.

>>74479897
that would be so gay. Does NYFC ever plan to leave yankee stadium?

>>74479899
It's a formation, like 4-3

That would be 3 defenders, 2 defensive mids, 3 attacking mids, and 2 forwards, which would be 13 players

>>74479899
3 his
2 def
3 midfielders
4 forwards

>>74479051

>>74479927
>>74479939
I see, thanks

So if a player is marked as a "defender", do they have to stay that way throughout the game or can they change to being a "midfielder" or something else?

>>74479921
Okay

>>74479905
United's bid beat out the Vikings owner's bid so they're a little pissed off
Plus the Twins owner has a stake in United

>>74479575

>>74479905

No, it is. Chelsea and AC Milan had a friendly there. The ownership group for that stadium lost their MLS bid though, and MNU decided they didn't want to play there, I guess.

>>74479950

>>74479956
Yes, but it's more of their base location
Sometimes a d end goes into coverage and linebackers blitz
Likewise you'll see the fullbacks bomb forward and d-mids get back

>>74479956
Depends on the coaches decisions really, it's more fluid than that.

That and in certain situations, like set pieces, you'll see defenders try to generate some offence.

>>74479970
So now they will use taxpayers money for another brand new stadium? If so thats rough

>>74479970
The Vikings tried to sabotage the stadium efforts I think

>>74479991

No, their new soccer specific stadium that they are building is privately funded.

>>74479923
they might build a stadium in the bronx

>>74479991
It's probably for the best.
I doubt Minnesota is going to sell out an NFL stadium any time soon.

>>74480009
Oh wow, that seem rare in this day and age.

>>74479991
Actually it's entirely privately financed

>>74479982
>>74479984
Alright, thanks for explaining

>>74480003
It would make sense.

>>74480019
Yeah, no one here wants to pay for another stadium.

I won't argue with you there.

There is no reason to like Minnesota because their team is complete shit.

Seriously how can you be a fan of THIS team with ZERO offensive presence and NO creativity.

Their """expansion""" team is literally 11 pylons. At least Atlanta tried to make a team. Go back to USL with this shit, you are making the league look bad.

just give him the magic spray so he can start playing again

make like a leaf and burn

>USMNT coach sitting next to Don Garber
Pretty sure if Garber saw Klinsmann he'd punch him in the face even if it was today

if you are going to act like your leg was blown off in a marathon then try to get back in the game immediately, the ref should be allowed to make you wait until he waves you on

name a better debut than Houston Dynamo

inb4 11 minutes of stoppage time

But there is still a cap in wages right?

Who gives a shit about who someone voted for?

Nagbe had a nice run they missed him

There's 3 dps and TAM, more than enough to bring in promising lesser known players
