MLS Thread: 2019 Edition

[BKIslandersFan]

I mean I’m not the biggest fan of Toronto but I also don’t think they will ever be thrown out of the league. This is the equivalent of throwing the Raptors out of the NBA.

I am convinced eventually Canadian MLS teams will be forced to play in CPL. Maybe not today or 20 years later. But eventually.

I doubt it. I don’t think CPL will ever be at the level MLS is or at least not in our lifetime.

Yeah just like the Raptors, Blue Jays, Maple Leafs, Canadiens, Canucks, Jets, Flames, Oilers, Senators...

You should focus on finding a stadium for your fake team.

There is no way. The CPL will never reach the heights of the MLS and TFC have the investment to remain competitive and attractive in the MLS. What would ever make them come down to CPL?

If anything Toronto will just get another team in the CPL.

It won't ever be and that is fine. I have season seats to Forge and I think most would agree that we are just happy to have a pro-league, especially one that will foster some growth for u-21 players.

1. Bad comparison
2. Aren't you New Jersey Energy Drinks fan? Don't know how any of their fans can call any other team fake tbh.

Also might want to point out that single entity means no MLS team has an owner in the sense the term is understood. That would sorta complicate things no?

 

[bleedblue1223]

Wait, so that's a real argument, that Toronto and other Canadian teams would be kicked out of MLS? Well that's just silly.

Pulido has looked really good for Sporting KC. We'll see how the midfield and back-line perform once we face better competition.

 

[kingsboy11]

Holy shit there like 4 goals in the LAFC/Union game last night that could've been goal of the week

If there's a will, there's a way.

Think about it. Canadian teams are a drag to US tv ratings and getting rid of 3 means, 3 more slots available for that expansion dolla.

Yeah and it also cuts out a huge fan base and basically an entire country because they’ll become focused on their league.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Ha, right? Want to lose ratings, how about cutting out an entire country of viewers and their media rights deals?

What a silly idea.

 

[robertmac43]

I don't know the numbers, but I imagine TFC does pretty good in terms of revenue. MLSE is no slouch when it comes to investment.

But, look at that operating income for most clubs.

gonna be hilarious to see how the lafc fans who are also clippers fans react to them playing in inglewood

since their club's foundation is built on giving the galaxy shit for playing in carson. i guess they'll have to refer to them as the inglewood clippers?

I don’t think any of us really care about this.

I mean it doesn’t matter to me about the Clippers (obviously you know I’m a Clippers fan). I just don’t understand the point of coming here to say this.

uhhhh because lafc fans love giving galaxy fans endless shit about how their team "isn't a real LA team because they play in carson."

so it's gonna be hilarious when not one, but two LA teams are playing in inglewood soon
