Martino went down a few slots for me after his comments on the whole RBA thing. He's still definitely better than Wynalda though.

Fuck. I missed his remarks on the subject. We played like shit. Don't try to play to both sides, Martino. FOH with that bullshit ughughughuguhgh.



JSB is one of my favourite soccer personalities and she running with this college frat-whitedudessingingthenword-coorslight-omfgbro "sports coverage" called Barstool sports. This dumbass in the tweet is claiming Chicago sports too.



Fucking dumb ass.

Yea. I'd give him the technical director job in a heartbeat, so long as he recognizes how US Soccer has been ignoring the Hispanic community in this country, but his comments on that game have given me a bit of pause on the top job.

I think whoever gets that job needs to be willing to be straight up the whole time. An unwillingness to look at the issues with and surrounding the team clearly are why we're missing the World Cup. Arena got too full of himself after the Panama beatdown (and got out-coached to an embarrassing degree as a result) and Klinsmann never should have been given the renewal he was (and should have been fired six months earlier than he was). That's all not even getting into the youth stuff. Holy crap, there's just so much wrong there it isn't even funny.

Going forward, whoever gets the job needs to be able to say the unpopular thing and do what needs to be done. Anyone who isn't willing to do that is just going to be more of the same.

I'm guessing Gulati's hand-picked successor who is the current head of SUM isn't the one who's going to be making the tough choices.

That's the issue. No matter who we get it's either going to be more of the same or the soccer version of MAGA.

Wynalda is basically soccer Trump: an utter moron who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the job.
Martino doesn't seem to be willing to look at the team clearly and say we played poorly when we did.
The SUM lady, whose name I forget, is probably going to be a continuation of Gulati.

So at this point I say pick your poison. I might complain about him but I'd still go with Martino 10 times out of 10 given the choices.

I appreciate teams being honest with their fans about transfer dealings, where as the union continue to do nothing except piss their fanbase off with nothing but jersey teasers.

#kakuwatch continues

Rumor is he's getting to NY/NJ on Sunday, so the announcement shouldn't be long after that.

If I'm honest I'd prefer to get both him and Pussetto before the season starts, but he's got visa issues.

Minnesota just drafted Mainer Wyatt Omsberg! Only the 2nd Mainer in MLS I can think of besides Roger Levesque.

Will be rooting for him to do well

RBII picked Brian White from Duke. I'm a bit interested to see what the team looks like this year.

Yeah the Accam trade seems iffy to me, since I thought he was angling for a Europe move. Not sure how thrilled he will be to end up in Philly but maybe he has changed his tune?

1.2 million is a ton to give up, they better sign him to an extension. Of course they have still need a 10 so damn badly

A front three of Fafa, CJ, and King David ain't bad.

I work a block away from the convention center and if I wasn't mired down there I'd be joining them.

As long as fafa is able to actually fucking finish it will be a very strong front.
