Chicago fag here who never watched mls. So I heard we got the German David Beckham or someone who won the world cup. Is our team going to be good now? I didnt give a shit about the franchise until this german guy joined so I need a basic gestalt on the team.

>>74993137
Earnie is fine he actually knows what he's doing, in fact I think they need to give him full control, he is clearly the most competent member of the front office, we need a better tactical identity than le 4-3-2-1 striker never gets the ball formation, Curtin needs to show he can change from a losing formula but it's just not happening and I like the guy... if Curtin can't make the playoffs this season just let Earnie bring in his people
>>74993239
>eric alexander still exists
>>74993258
Curtin is an amateur, he needs to go. but the front office is so set on his shitty plan they wont get rid of him. We also need an owner that didn't lose all of his money in the housing bubble

>>74993328
I do expect the team to get better as the academy produces more players so that we have a base to supplement, but if you can't make your formation work in MLS it doesn't make any sense to have your whole system use the same formation
this whole "dominate the match with 1 tactic and make no concessions" has been proven to be a meme here, why be stubborn about your formation when it hasn't been doing anything since last spring

Alright, guys. I suggested this in the last thread, I'm going to bring it back up and see if anyone's interested. What if we made a fake football club like AFC Anchorage and then tried to troll the media into thinking that it's the next MLS team? Obviously we would have to pick a more realistic destination but it would be funny to get some news sites to write about MLS creating a fake expansion team for 2020 or something

>>75001235
Because Bridgeview got them by the balls with some bullshit iron clad contract that has to be one of the most lopsided stadium deals in history
>Minnesota has more points than LA
>>75001440
Oh wait im retarded
>>75001352
Idk, surely if Garber can be convinced that Bridgeview is a threat to CF's long term viability then he might be willing to help them buy out of their contract or force them to buy it out themselves. Apparently there are still decades left on that lease.

Anyone have an idea how difficult it will be to get world cup tickets this cycle (through official channels, so I'd get a Fan ID)? I have to pick specific matches to work around my friend and I's schedule. It would be two group matches and a round of 16 match in st petersburg/moscow. Never done this before, crossing my fingers that I happen to get a USMNT match. Also, does nationality matter in the lottery, i.e., is there a quota of Americans they'll give tickets to?
Pretty much every Confed Cup game is listed as high availability right now so hopefully that low demand carries over.

Schweinsteiger is boss tier. Real hard worker. But I don't know the quality of the rest of the team.
>>75012570
Fire are shit and are always shit
Schweinsteiger plays the one position they were already not-shit at
They play out in the middle of nowhere and have no fans.
In short, Fire will continue to be shit.
>>74993103
>>75012570
Are the Fire good now?
No
Schweni probably actually their situation more precarious
They already had two players that play his position
They needed a playmaker and a right back and now they're unlikely to get either

If Minnesota could even field an average defense, they'd be in contention for the final playoff spot

6 playoff spots / 11 teams = 0.545 chance of getting in per conference.
Since the former goats will be joining the league alone next year apparently, one conference will get a little more competitive, as much as that could happen when all the big spending teams keep getting kneecapped by the pursuit of parity.

How bad can it get for Holden?
Now that the USL is starting a new 3rd division, do you think they'll go back and give us another team?
We've got a bigger metro area and tv market than cities with teams from the big 3 and all we have is a Single A baseball team and a furpuck team I think hasn't left yet
>>75021015
A properly done D3 should be within reach for basically any city big enough that I've heard of it before
>>75021172
Greenville only has like 60k people
But there's a million people in the area
Problem is there's no good place to put them
A long time ago there was a old USL D3 team here
They played over there in Sirrine
I was like 7 at the time but from what I remember about that stadium was it was in really bad shape and the bathrooms didn't have any running water
That stadium hasn't gotten any better in 14 years
>>75021451
That certainly won't fly now
You'd have to build a new place or refurbish the shit out of the old one, or borrow the baseball stadium for a season or two while you do
>>75021515
If I won the lottery I would buy it myself
But the school district owns it
Even if they renovated it, they still couldn't sell liquor there
Damn shame too. It's the perfect place
I wonder if they could use Furman's stadium. It would be out of the way though
>>75021866
No liquor is a huge no-no
SG's fucking love their beer
>>75021912
More has to do with the difficulty in making a profit
That's the reason the Aztex died the second time
>>75021992
That's what I'm saying though
For season 2 at Soccer Park, they converted a shipping container into a "bar" and plopped it right next to the Louligans section because they knew the beer sells that well
>>75021451
The problem with a new team in any city is two-fold:
1) Can the city afford it. If the owner can trick the taxpayers into lining his own pockets, that's what will happen, but even if the owner isn't a total dick and wants to pay for the stadium himself, there's--
2) Where is the goddamn city center. If you work downtown, drive home to get the family, then out to the stadium, is this feasible? In a city with public transportation like NY or Seattle, yes very. In a city where one is on the way to the other, like LA, yes very. In a city like Tampa, you're fucked.
So it's a combination of (1) is your owner a dick, and (2) is your city council retarded
Tough to find in America, particularly in either Carolina.
>>75021866
As for Furman, I really like the tall stands, could get a nice "wall" effect going with the fans
I wonder if the field is big enough for a regulation pitch though
>>75022157
Well this is all hypothetical
The city did give the Drive $5 million to help with new renovations
I'm not sure how much a new stadium would be but if you pitched it to the council like it was something that could elevate their status I doubt it would too much of a hassle. But stadium location would be a pain in the ass. Sirrine Stadium is in a great place but again it's under the control of the school district.
>>75022185
Not sure
Furman has a separate stadium for soccer though
It's small but not too much smaller than a bunch of the other USL stadiums

>the numbers presented are each market's index value, which uses local consumption to compare local demand to the national average. Scores over 100 are higher than the national average (an area with a 120 score, for example, has 20 percent higher demand than the average), and those below 100 are less than the average.
Seems like the measurements are in relation to the average, not something actually measured on it's own.
http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2017/03/30/heres-how-cincinnatis-soccer-passion-stacks-up.html
>>75035238
I'm really suspicious of what an "Index Value" is, though. Viewership could be overall or relative to other sports, they could be giving SD a boost due to the lack of other professional-level sports in the market compared to places like Detroit or Cinci, etc.
ESRI doesn't do these kinds of surveys for fun - someone paid for this. Now it could have been The Major League Soccer (Don seems to have a hard on for ex-NFL markets) but these kinds of market research studies generally just exist to validate a hypothesis you already had.
>>75035304
>they could be giving SD a boost due to the lack of other professional-level sports in the market compared to places like Detroit or Cinci, etc.
I would wager that is irrelevant. The existence of other sports teams doesn't preclude interest in out of town franchises which in San Diego is MASSIVE, nor the existence of literally hundreds of other channels of content that could be watched. People watch soccer because they are interested in soccer.
Hell, try to correlate those measurements of existing MLS groupings with these. I'm not suggesting you do so because I know it supports my hypothesis, but I'd wager the areas with higher rating within this study aren't sports franchise poor, yet the interest in the soccer still ranks high despite there almost assuredly being interest in other in town franchises. With that said, if there happened to be a market that had tons of competing sports franchises and there didn't appear to be much interest in soccer in that market, I would argue because other markets demonstrate a capacity for substantial interest in multiple franchises of multiple sports, that other markets only able to demonstrate interest in sports other than soccer, without being able to do so for soccer don't demonstrate franchise over saturation as much as a lack of interest in soccer.
>>75035201
>another fucked red state
>420
>>75035304
>>75035681
Here you go.
It may be Don, because it seems the ESMI study prioritized the markets with applications in for expansion franchises over total markets, especially the ones without applications that technically provide higher soccer ratings. With that said, the top 5 markets without an existing franchise (excluding Miami) are the exact same in both studies.
Conventional wisdom would dictate that rating is what matters because more people watching means more people you can generate revenue from. With that said, It seems our real contenders are San Diego, San Antonio, Raleigh, Sacramento, and Phoenix.
>>75036096
Thanks for saving me from having to do this myself lol. But yeah, I see what you're looking at. Basically I feel like right now there are 3 different groups looking at the expansion bids with completely different interests, and there's no way to satisfy all of them with 2 (+2 later) bids:
- "Traditional" MLS fans want to see fanbases and ownership groups rewarded that have already invested in soccer in the US - places like Sacramento and Cincinnati.
- Wider fans of the sport who, right now, are putting their families through youth soccer and watching Liga MX/EPL/Bundesliga (Where they can). I think this one is the one that matches the "Soccer Market Rankings" closest - areas like San Antonio, SD are the most obvious to me
- MLS and SUM, who are looking for the best financial decisions available - places with large numbers of corporate sponsors, international visibility, etc. I'm not sure this is the best way to grow the game though, since they'll be looking for large media markets like Phoenix and Detroit that might not be able to grow the league organically. This is exactly what I think happened with Minnesota, by the way.
Right now I think the only market that intersects those three is San Diego. Unfortunately, I think after that it's going to be St. Louis, followed by Phoenix and Detroit. There's a reason the commissioner was an old NFL guy, and it's not to satisfy fanbases, it's to grow the league financially.
>>75036270
>I think the only market that intersects those three is San Diego.
You know the worst fucking thing, is you're right, and even as pic related, I feel San Diego has every reason to be awarded a franchise. The thing is if there is one city that can slip on spaghetti it pulled out of its own pockets, and land on it's face to fuck up what should be a gimme, it is San Diego. You literally have an ownership group willing to foot the bill, not asking for a dime of taxpayer dollars, willing to gift the stadium to the local university, and allow space for buildings for that university to develop new facilities and student housing. They want to develop a river park to appease the environmentalists, and develop commercial spaces to create employment opportunities, build parking structures for those unwilling to use the great public transportation hub already in place, and are willing to foot the bill for imploding the stadium currently in place, and remove it. They're also willing to pay any fees associated with any development zoning, studies, etc. They have Landon Donovan involved with the ownership group as well as the current president of Univision Sports ready to retire and jump on board formally if the franchise is awarded. They had this whole thing ready to go days after the Chargers left, while every other dipshit in town was sitting on their ass, and they have been rewarded for their initiative with those dipshits saying "wait, I have a concept. Let me play catch up," as well as the university who will have nowhere for its football team to play in two years saying it is unsatisfied with the stadium capacity, and wants more space for university expansion, and the local newspaper publishes one pro-university article for every pro-Soccer City one, despite every poll showing massive public support for it, yet the shot callers seem to be making every decision other than throwing their support behind it. This should be a slam dunk, but may become an air ball.
>>75036270
I think with the STL bid, MLS also has their eye on improving the player pool down the road
Even with pro soccer more or less being absent here for the last couple decades, we still crank out plenty of pro talent; just imagine if USSF could mainline that shit directly into their veins with an MLS team
"And you get a Homegrown Player contract, and you get a Homegrown Player contract, and you get a Homegrown Player contract..."
>debates paying $23 for a literal red bulls autism scarf
>>75036270
I think MLS will value having a stadium more than anything else after the Man City C debacle and the current Miami one
So count out Detroit
Phoenix's team doesn't really have a big following or foothold in their community so I doubt they have any leg up
Why can't MLS go down the USL's path and start MLS2?
Or would it be MiLS?
>>75037691
But every MLS scarf is an autism scarf. Have you seen some of the stuff these "ultras" groups are selling?
>>75037725
Won't happen before they're done expanding, which is going to be at LEAST 28 teams....my gut says 30
>>75037739
Yes but this is LITERALLY AND UNIRONICALLY about autism what a time we arw living in
One of the professors at the program i work at saw my red bull jacket yesterday and was like "oh cool where do you sit" and it turns out he sits like 8 rows above me
Red bulls autism family yo
>>75037746
Given MLS's market sizes they can probably get to 40 before market saturation
>>75037825
I wouldn't mind 40 if it was separated into leagues. They're already straining under travel costs and unbalanced scheduling, but they don't seem to want to try to find a solution for that.
>>75037825
Is there any realistic way they would get that big without implementing relegation?
>>75037854
I don't think that has any real effect unless there's like 32 teams
We're currently 10 away from that
>>75037866
Yes
Although I am one who believes that with enough expansion we can eventually get to pro/rel without enforcing it
>>75037866
No way then can get over 30-32 without splitting into 2 leagues, and then they'd have to go pro-rel because otherwise who's going to want to drop without the possibility of return
>>75038114
Exactly how I see it as well.
>>75038114
>No way then can get over 30-32 without splitting into 2 leagues
Why?
>>75038159
They'll get to 30 or 32 or whatever the final number is, and park it there for a good long while, and let the rest of the pyramid grow beneath them
Then they announce that in the year 20XX they'll start MLS2 and add [list of USL/NASL/whatever-league teams], to be joined by X number of current MLS teams
Give everyone in MLS a window of a few years and say "we're counting points cumulatively over the next X seasons.....the bottom teams on the list at the end drop"
