lmao yea it is quite strange.

At least BWP will stay for some time now with SWP coming in. Was worried he might leave.

by VendettaRed07 Sun Aug 02, 2015 3:24 am

I wouldn't worry about that. MLS is getting to the point where enough money is coming in where players like BWP will make more money than the teams that they are good enough to play for in Europe will offer them. BWP is too important to the team, and they would easily double the wages I think any championship/low tier prem team would offer.

I don't get why Beckham wants Miami...I mean it's a sexy location yes, but sporting wise Miami is a total flop in every major sport, Heat weren't even a big draw with LBJ on them, Marlins are a joke, Dolphins don't get great NFL attendance despite being a historical franchise and NFL the money making machine it is in America, Hockey the Panthers are always rumoured to be relocating because of abysmal attendance.

Think it will be better if MLS stays out of Miami will just turn into a dead weight franchise

Yea but all them Spanish speakers though! Although Cubans are more into Baseball than they are into footie.

I think the team will attract viewers though. Marketing the team brand wont be that hard as you already mentioned. All they have to do is maintain the buzz by signing star players. Lets be honest if it worked in LA (where soccer was previously associated with mini vans and suburbia), its going to work in MIA.

i unno NFL and MLB are darlings of american sports culture and they are still pretty terribly supported in Miami.

MLS is making strides but I just don't think Miami is a good choice at this point and time when the league is looking for positive growth.

take a risk on it later when MLS is actually starting to compete with MLB and NFL for TV viewers.

Giovinco at it again Proud

another Hat Trick

PK, FK, and goal from open play Proud

Well, Galaxy sitting at 3rd place now in the west. Lletget is Legit and Gio scored on his CCL debut. Things are really looking up this time. Smile

BWP is something else

by Tomwin Lannister Mon Aug 10, 2015 1:20 am

Is Giovinco the best player alive atm? Arguably.

by RealGunner Mon Aug 10, 2015 1:24 am

Already broke Toronto's club record for most goals scored in a season ever with 16 or so.

On his way to score 25+

I can confirm yes

he has scored or assisted 27(16 goals 11 assists) of Toronto's 37 goals this season Proud

teams can't contain him, if you go to MLS websites comments section on game recaps every week someone calls him the Messi of MLS lol he's been that good, better then Villa, Kaka etc

Anyone else watching (suffering) the Philli-Chicago US Open Cup semi-final? It's absolutely painful.

by RedOranje Thu Aug 13, 2015 3:25 am

Well, that's the end of Chicago's season.

No one watching the Union - Fire rematch after that Open Cup semi-final?

I don't blame you.

by Swanhends Sun Aug 23, 2015 9:48 pm

Ive never really been one to watch non-Union MLS games but LA vs NYCFC has been a really good game so far even though NYCFC has come apart in the last 5 minutes

by B-Mac Sun Aug 23, 2015 11:29 pm

TFC won 5-0 yesterday over Orlando

good bounce back game, oh and Giovinco did this Proud
