that's the feared St Louis City SC. they feed us all purina here. it's dry but it's free
seeing as how adidas has had a total monopoly on jerseys for years and will for several more years (iirc): it could (and probably will be) worse

Austin were -1500 Vegas favorites coming into this leg. Valotte AC have a rich history but the league they belong to hasn't completed a full season since 2018. and they had to play their 'home' leg of the match in another country (Dominican Republic). and facing one of the higher ranked teams in MLS who had a strong offensive output last year, and come out and win the first leg over them 3-0. what a great story/performance.
but also LOL AT AUSTIN FC

xpost nice. weirdly you all have a few ex-Orlando City players (David Loera and Victor "PC" Giro). so I guess I'll root for yas to win again this year ;)

i am watching the angel city v gotham game rn and i am so so happy that angel city has been such a hit. west coast has the best soccer culture in the country (4 of the top 5 in nwsl attendance last year were west coast teams).
I really am sad that the Pride never got embraced in Orlando. interest was high for *one year* and then attendance fell to pitiful levels, and then the product on the field went into the toilet so it'll probably never recover.
shame...I love the NWSL. good soccer, and the small size of the league means you get to see some of the World Cup stars. we had Alex Morgan for several years.

anticipating the '23 women's world cup boost for sure. three new teams coming i think by next year: utah, sf, and boston.
usl is supposedly starting a 2nd div women's league ('usl super league'). they had originally announced an aug 2023 start, but delayed it for another year. calendar is gonna line up with the aug-june international calendar. theyve been pretty tight-lipped about any teams though, just saying there'd be 10-12 teams to start and that most of them would be in cities that already have usl presence. would love to eventually see a women's open cup.

also btw how the fuck are stl 5-0-0 right now?? crazy
― slai gorgeous-alexander (m bison), Monday, 27 March 2023 03:17 (one year ago) link
I was just talking about that with my buddies! I think the fact that they signed a lot of players early so they had a full off-season to practice helped. But to be 5-0-0 with a +11 goal differential is nuts for an expansion team even in this weird league.

our leading goal scorer from last year is there now, sam adenarin. he was here on loan from seattle and was a major reason why sa won the usl championship last year. he's gotten some playing time off the bench as a striker in stl so i kinda root for them.

Don Garber at the USSF board meeting, expresses MLS' disappointment in the setup of the the US Open Cup (streams, fields, etc): "They are not games that we would want our product to be shown to a large audience so frankly I'm not all that disappointed that the audience is small."— Jeff Kassouf (@JeffKassouf) May 5, 2023

Messi experiment is gonna be kinda hilarious as he's going to a real shit squad and gonna get frustrated with how terrible they are at setting him up but he'll spike attendance everywhere he goes.
but if he comes in the summer window, how many matches is he gonna start after already playing an entire full season with PSG

This sounds like a retirement move (haven't read anything about it though. Been out of the loop)
― Punster McPunisher, Wednesday, 7 June 2023 20:29 (ten months ago) link
oh totally is.
I'm gonna keep my ticket so I can maybe see him play but let's be real if they do it in the summer window it's more for next year anyway
― the manwich horror (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 7 June 2023 21:34 (ten months ago) link
also he's going to get angry real fast when he sees what MLS soccer is like lol....
lots of European studs have slotted in nicely in MLS, like Zlatan, Beckham, etc, but Messi strikes me as someone who's gonna be like "JESUS FUCK can anybody here play?" real fast.
I remember Pirlo having a disastrous stint in MLS and saying "everybody runs too much here"
