Re: MLS-thread

I used to think MLS was the Need for Speed to Europe's Gran Turismo, but I've pulled back on that thought.

The league entertained me immensely back when I watched it. I don't watch anymore as it's become more and more corporatized, but I do watch the goal highlights from time to time. Never disappoints when it comes to bangers. Same with the USL Championship (Division 2 in US soccer).

I think people have gotten too wrapped up in "quality" (whatever that means these days) when it comes to this sport. Just sit back and enjoy the show and if you can't, watch something else.

Messi is selling out NFL-stadiums, second game in a row, most for New England Revolutions in their 28 year history at 65,600.

I was one of them. Probably the last time I'll watch Messi in person, sadly.

Messi n Suarez playing around there Very Happy

They still at it... some of them passes from Messi, continues to make them look easy.

5 assists and a goal in 45 minutes, that is mad

What did they snort in the dressing room before the 2nd half?

These are the 50 MOST VALUABLE soccer clubs in the world:

European soccer clubs dominate the top of the financial table, but MLS lands the most clubs with 20 in the top 50, more than twice as many as the EPL.

Soon Milan needs to apologize to Miami for taking their name. :coffee:

Record 5th win for Miami in a row.

Giroud to LAFC confirmed, and Griezmann will probably go there too after hinting it last week. So with Loris already there, LAFC will be the France for Miami's Argentina. Ramos is apparently in advanced talks with San Diego FC.

by Lord Awesome Tue May 14, 2024 12:43 pm

I like that were getting Griezmann. My only issue is Giroud. Not because of Giroud himself but just Cherundolo's bad record of misusing CFs in general.

by Vibe Tue May 14, 2024 2:14 pm

Who is getting Griezmann and Giroud?

by Lord Awesome Tue May 14, 2024 2:25 pm

Lafc is. Giroud is confirmed but Griezmann still not 100%

Nice, glad to see football in USA taking this route.

Many tried it, Qatar, India, China, Saudi Arabia obviously, but I think USA has the best chance of making it work.

by BarcaLearning Tue May 14, 2024 5:34 pm

So all of a sudden all these US companies investing in Euro clubs n now their actual clubs also competing with Saudi for the past it big names? Must be the never ending printing of money there that allows them to compete with the oil gods? Razz

by Vibe Tue May 14, 2024 8:39 pm

It's probably because, for most footballers, life in USA is far more appealling than life in UAE

Miami draws Orlando 0-0. Miami can't win without Messi, I've never seen a team so dependant on one player.

Miami with Messi has won 19 of 26 games, or 73%. Without only 2 of 14 or 14%.
Miami with Messi has lost only 3 of 26 games, or 12%. Without 7 of 14 or 50%.

Miami with Messi has lost only 1 meaningful game, against Monterrey, when he was coming back from injury and the tie was already in pretty bad shape.
