MLS Thread: Enter Zlatan

[Fro]

I can't stop watching that Wil Trapp golazo

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Did you see where DC United were able to reach an agreement with their supporter groups (La Barra Brava , District United, Screaming Eagles)?

I saw it, but I'm not a member or associated with any of those groups. I haven't been to Audi Field yet either though I was planning to go some time in August. Anything that creates a bit of atmosphere is good news though. It's a sad sight to see 20 guys holding up banners and one dude with a drum..so if they get good numbers that way in every home game, it's a plus.

I want to see LAFC-LAG this Thursday but the tickets go as low as $100 on Stub Hub. f*** that shit.

Same. Plus Fake Chivas only allowed 100 tickets for the away fans supporters groups. Not only that the minimum amount for parking is 35$. Even more reason to not go.

Can't you just pretend not to be a Galaxy fan by not wearing a Galaxy shirt? Do they kick you out if they see you cheering for the Galaxy in the non-away fan section?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Really hoping Acosta forces a move out. Rapids are awful and he will only regress with them.

He regressed already. How much more could he possibly regress?

 

[Gecklund]

He regressed already. How much more could he possibly regress?

He really hasn’t. Just hasn’t been given the opportunity. He’s a fantastic player. He should head to Belgium and see how he does.

Doubt it. I'm just saying its really insecure of LAFC to limit the number of supporters groups tickets. I mean the Galaxy gave LAFC two whole sections at the Stub Hub Center when we hosted them earlier this year.

Davies is off to Bayern!

Awesome news for Davies, not so much for the Whitecaps or MLS in losing such a bright young star to one of the big leagues.

I'm surprised they're letting him finish the season with Vancouver, to be honest. Is that common for a transfer?

Very common especially when there’s absolutely no chance of him playing for Bayern anytime soon

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

It may have been a condition for the deal, but also it's not like Bayern are buying him as immediate help for their first team. He's basically a prospect. Him getting additional match practice and development time in Vancouver is beneficial for Bayern.

 

[Dr Pepper]

That's awesome.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I think Dallas traded him for very little because they thought he regressed. He wasn't even starting for them much of this season.

 

[Gecklund]

I don't know. I still have high hopes for him. He just didn't go overseas when he should have. I think Dallas is going through a bit of a rebuild now. With Diaz and now Acosta gone, they don't have much there.

Seattle apparently looking into Hurtado over in Portugal. That on top of Ruidiaz and Lodeiro gives them a nice attacking core in their prime. I expect Ruidiaz to help them big time in the stretch run and then finish top 5-ish in goals next season.

I really hope so. Seattle's games right now are so boring. They need speed bad. With Morris out, they have no pace at all aside from Ruidiaz (who if I remember correctly isn't the fastest either). I think that they need a winger more than anything though.

Ruidiaz
VRod-Lodeiro-winger
Roldan-Alonso/Svensson
Nouhou/Francis-Marshall-Torres-Leerdam

Looking solid if they can bring in a speedy winger. They have been linked to Yannis Salibur who is a straight speedster. He would look amazing there. Biggest problem is he would have to be a DP. Dempsey should be coming off the bench at this point. He has not looked very good this season. I think he will probably retire pretty soon. Roldan is probably the future for this team. For the sake of the Sounders, I hope he's not sold overseas, but for the sake of the USMNT, I hope he is. He is a fantastic player and leader already. Best pick in the 2015 draft for sure.

 

[Basement Cat]

Ruidiaz is actually quite fast - he's no Morris but looks like Usain Bolt compared to Bruin. Like you said, they need a winger badly on top of this and Hurtado checks that box for sure.

I'm a huge Roldan fan too. I would love to see him get a shot in a mid-lower table Bundeslia squad.

I honestly can't blame them. Whether or not their ownership group feels related to Chivas USA, it's comforting for their fans, who most likely used to be Chivas fans. They took abuse from Galaxy fans for being tenants in Carson for years. Now they have their own ground. I say let them be.

"Challenge accepted"

- Rapids

 

[sabremike]

Ready for tomorrow!!!!!! 914 United are an annoyance, the scum are our REAL rivals. Hate DC. Then. Now. Forever!!!

f*** them. Hope you destroy them, the Riot Squad are our brothers for life for how they took care of us the week of the 2008 Final in Carson. BIKE JOUSTING FOREVER!!!!!

 

[sabremike]

Yeah, this game isn't going to be starting anytime soon. The concourses in here are flooded to the point they are a river, and there is a lake near the main entrance dangerously close to electrical outlets. This place is one giant design flaw.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

How was that not a penalty for Wayne Rooney?

f*** DC United anyway. Useless.

Aside from flood how was the stadium Mike?

 

[Gecklund]

Ruidiaz has been pretty invisible in the first 45 for Seattle. Made a few good runs but also had a few bad turnovers. Pretty meh right now.

They managed to build a stadium that may actually be worse than RFK.

The ESC celebrating at the end!!!!!
