Nagbe and Barco looked good in the first half

The weather and the pitch are wreaking havoc though

Heh. Sounds like a friendly between the two teams since they're both off the weekend of the 24th.

A couple news items this morning:

DC United add former Atlanta United winger Yamil Asad on loan
D.C. United have added more attacking firepower with MLS experience, announcing on Tuesday they have acquired midfielder Yamil Asad on loan from Velez Sarsfield for the 2018 season.

D.C. also had to complete a trade for Asad's rights with Atlanta United, sending a combined $500,000 in allocation money to the Five Stripes. In 2018, Atlanta will receive $200,000 in General Allocation Money and $100,000 of Targeted Allocation Money. Atlanta will get $100,000 in GAM and $100,000 in TAM in 2019, and will receive an additional $100,000 in GAM should Asad appear in at least one MLS match in 2020.

Asad, 23, spent the 2017 season on loan to Atlanta. Part of the expansion team's vaunted South American core, Asad made 32 MLS regular season appearances for Atlanta, scoring seven goals and 13 assists and making history for scoring the Five Stripes' first competitive goal.
FC Dallas enter historic player development partnership with Bayern Munich
The two clubs announced on Tuesday the first-of-its-kind, multi-year partnership, which will offer players within both professional academies a pathway to soccer in the United States and Germany. Dallas and Bayern will also come together to exchange talent, allowing young players to experience different coaching styles and settings to enhance their development.

Just saw the tweet for this. $2000 for the winner sounds great.

Let's do an Era league.
We usually do.

I will say I wasn't a fan of allowing weekly team revamps last year. It took a lot of the strategy out of building a team and just turned it into playing the best guys you can afford each week.

EDIT: Also I can't seem to log-in.

Yeah I gave up on fantasy last year because of that. Is it going to be like that again this year?

ESPN's Web Service Gains Exclusive Pro Soccer Rights
Major League Soccer is shutting down its MLS Live streaming product and shifting those games to ESPN+, the new streaming service Walt Disney Co. plans to launch in the next few months, according to people familiar with the plan.

The teams have been notified, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the change hasn't been publicly announced. Fans will be able to watch about 250 out-of-market games a year, meaning they won't be able to see their home teams. The accord doesn't impact ESPN's regularly scheduled televised soccer matches, which won't be on the web service.

Still the change will be a bargain for soccer fans. The MLS Live service was priced at $79 a year, while the new ESPN streaming product will be $5 a month, or $60 annually. In addition to the soccer games, ESPN+ subscribers will get access to thousands of other live events a year, including pro baseball, hockey and tennis, as well as college sports.

An MLS spokesman declined to comment. Financial arrangements between Disney and the league weren't known.

ESPN+ will debut this spring, likely after the March 3 start of the soccer season, so matches will be available for free on MLSsoccer.com until the new service is available, according to one of the people.

The ESPN streaming product is a crucial part of Disney's big online push. The world's largest entertainment company will introduce a Disney-branded streaming service, with "Star Wars," Marvel and Pixar films, late next year. To obtain more film and TV content, Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger is acquiring much of 21st Century Fox Inc. for $52.4 billion, including that company's regional sports networks.

Celebrate Valentine's Day with #SoccerGrams


===

DV2yfyJW0AA4vs1.jpg


Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Martinez unhappy with MLS Valentine's Day soccergram

Josef:
"That was a photo that we were just joking around and they never told me it was going to go out," Martinez said through a translator on Tuesday. "I'm not taking it seriously." But it seems like he was. Martinez continued his answer to a question asked if he liked the final product by telling the translator to either say it or he would say it: "The next one, if it's a photo like that, it will be without clothes."


https://twitter.com/DougRobersonAJC/status/963511675176521728

MLS:
"Internal miscommunication resulted in the posting of the image. It was taken down soon after Atlanta United made the request. Josef is a rising star whose enthusiasm and cooperation at league initiatives is greatly appreciated. We apologize to Josef for this issue."


We've got ourselves a rare MLS meme!

Awesome, I'm excited about the move to ESPN+ for the league. I live out of the SKC market, so I've always had to subscribe to MLS Live. I like that this is cheaper, plus I will have access to other things if I want. With F1 moving to ESPN, maybe you'll be able to watch the races without commercials on the app.

Yeah, unless DAZN magically gets the rights, I guess TSN will (given that Sportsnet doesn't do MLS stuff) and that will suck big-time

TSN's streaming services are garbo
If I only get to watch what TSN wants to show (so TFC and VWFC plus some Sunday games), then I'll just watch more USL.

Less than a month to the start of the MLS season, which I need because hockey is depressing me.

This is a solid look at the players with the highest trade value in MLS via ProSoccerUSA.com

This Major League Soccer offseason has been the most newsworthy and crazy silly season in recent memory. Two former MLS MVP candidates were traded in two days and that probably doesn't even make the top 10 most captivating stories of the offseason.

The massive increase of Targeted Allocation Money (TAM) spurred a level of activity never seen before. Given the ease of moving high-end MLS players both inside and outside of the league, I thought it was time to introduce Trade Value rankings heading into the 2018 MLS season.

This ranking is inspired heavily by Bill Simmons' NBA Trade Value Rankings and attempts to answer this question: Who are the most valuable trade assets in MLS?

I like that it will actually have Android TV support unlike MLS Live.

Meanwhile RBNY is literally playing Where's Waldo with Kaku. And when I say literally, I do mean literally.

I thought I saw him in a NYRB player's IG post recently, so I guess the only thing left is the announcement

Plus some NYRB social media dudes seem to be teasing something big and Kaku would be...big

That's why I said it's a game of Where's Waldo. We all kinda pissed off the social media guy so he's been passive aggressively posting pics with Kaku just out of frame.
