You don’t like All Carolina FC?

 

[Gecklund]

Its dumb. Still better than Carolina FC or Charlotte FC I guess.

I feel like All Carolina is by far the worst.

Charlotte to provide $110 million for soccer stadium renovations

looking more like it

I kind of (begrudgingly) like Charlotte Athletic. All the other ones are atrocious.

 

[Savant]

We’ve done really good with the International games... They will play at BOA until Memorial is built is what I figure.

I mean that’s to be expected though. Raleigh is a much better market for soccer, but Charlotte had the rich billionaire owner. It’ll be interesting to see how it performs. The Charlotte bid was NEVER ahead of the Raleigh bid until Tepper.

I see there's going to be another team on my Automatic Hate list. Too bad.

I want FC Bojangles.

Railhawks have a much longer and stronger following then Charlotte Independence.

Bruton Smith was the original Charlotte backer, Tepper is now putting his money behind it, makes me wonder if Raleigh was in the running if Dundon would have thrown money in.

I will be buying season tickets for the MLS team in Charlotte though

Michael Bradley coming back to TFC

 

[kingsboy11]

Charlotte Athletic is probably the best, but I think they could've come up with better ones.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Swiss has the Young Boys.

Charlotte should have Nature Boys!

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Gecklund]

Michael Bradley coming back to TFC

Most important part of this is that he’s not a DP, meaning Toronto can sign a big name player if they want.

Huge for them! This is the only way I would have wanted him back as well. Now time to go get a creative player to combine with Jozy and Poz up top!

Yeah I think they really need a solid striker. Jozy just never seems to be healthy.

Cavallini to Whitecaps is now official.

Whitecaps attack looks scary now. They do need to add some defense and maybe a creative midfielder but they got a good core.

I think we have our (intended) replacement #10.

Safe standing should be mandatory in all soccer specific stadiums.

That’s now official. Buksa to Revs is official. Dynamo resign Boniek, Ceren, Figueroa. Valeri resigned. (All official).

They should call themselves Charlotten Athletic

Raphael Wickey named the new Fire head coach.

Miami set to name Diego Alonso as manager and sign Agudelo and Roman Torres.
