EDIT: No, you're in Toronto tonight. I was right. Yikes.
I've barely been paying any attention to the CCL this tournament, but I was expecting Toronto to beat us by a huge margin: we've been dreadful in the league and we are missing like five starters. I'm honestly very disappointed in them.
...not that I'm complaining
P.S. Giovinco should come to Liga MX. Hell I don't know what he's doing in this region of the world in the first place.
Chivas was barely able to bunker past RBNY and only advanced on a single rare defensive mistake made by an 18-year-old Tyler Adams. We had them pinned for the large part of both legs.I've barely been paying any attention to the CCL this tournament, but I was expecting Toronto to beat us by a huge margin: we've been dreadful in the league and we are missing like five starters.

You mean the Sacha Kljestian Memorial Tunnel at BMO Field?
For real though, dude should be playing in Europe.Liga MX is a retirement league, so you'll have to wait a few years
That's kind of my point. We are 16 out 18 this season. Admittedly that's mostly because we don't have a lot of finesse upfront rather than defensive mistakes, but that first goal by Pizarro today was amateur hour from Toronto.Chivas was barely able to bunker past RBNY and only advanced on a single rare defensive mistake made by an 18-year-old Tyler Adams. I'm gonna be honest, I haven't been impressed with any of the Liga MX teams in CCL this year. Tigres, Tijuana, Club America, Chivas, they've all been bad and Toronto should feel bad for not rolling Chivas tonight.
Gio was in Europe, at Juventes, but was sitting just behind Pirlo on the depth chart.For real though, dude should be playing in Europe.

No reason he shouldn't be playing at a mid-table team instead. He might not be a starter for Juventus but dude is easily material for Roma, Atlético, Leverkusen even. I feel like he is wasting the last stretch of his prime in North America.Gio was in Europe, at Juventes, but was sitting just behind Pirlo on the depth chart.
He was good enough to start at Juventes, just not over a Pirlo who was still playing well. He stays another year and he's probably starting.No reason he shouldn't be playing at a mid-table team instead.

Then again, with Italy out of the World Cup I imagine his performance sportswise is the last thing on his mind.
Just got official word that LAFC season ticket holders will NOT get first dibs on the BVB friendly in May. This was a major selling point my rep gave me as to why I should get season tickets. What a scam.

Wow that's a dick move. All I got this year was a three match flex plan and RBNY has been throwing tickets at me. You should call your rep and ask for a partial refund.Just got official word that LAFC season ticket holders will NOT get first dibs on the BVB friendly in May.

Wait what?! Lol I remember being told that the big friendly games was gonna be part of the package. LAFC is a joke when it comes to customer service
You can usually sell them for a lot of cash. Last time Aresenal came to NY season ticket holder were able to make back a good chunk, if not all, of the cost of their season tickets. Gotta sell those on the secondary market dude.I wish friendlies were not part of my season ticket plan, I haven't gone to one in like 5 years but continued to have to pay for a ticket to one.

The Italian coach never gave him much of a look even when the team desperately needed more creative attackers.
I thought I remembered reading something like that, guess I was wrong.This is not true. Giovinco had nothing to do with Pirlo at Juve. They play entirely different positions. He just wasn't ever remotely good enough for Juve and rather than try and hack it at a mid/low table club like he did at Parma, he decided to be a big fish in a small pond in MLS.
He was never going to start at Juve.
I don't think anything's refundable. I remember the contract says something to the effect of even your initial monthly payments to be a "supporter" are non-refundable. Not that I want a full refund or anything. I just think the front office and the celebrity figureheads stinks; I like the team well enough.Wow that's a dick move.

Hey, I wanna do a new poll and I need some help. What are some MLS podcasts that you all listen to or are just out there?
And if going forward anyone has some ideas for a new poll please do PM me and I'll throw it up there.
I think the whole deal with MLS being an exclusive closed system of ownership makes me think there's no way Crew are staying in Columbus, no matter how many petitions.
It's certainly the direction Red Bull and Dallas have taken, with the former bearing lots of fruit. From what's gone around about the money involved, RBNY makes way more off the academy than the team itself. That said, a real academy requires a big amount of money upfront and then you've got to run a USL side to get the graduates some pro experience and that's even more cash. Once it's all set up it'll probably become self-sustaining for most teams, but that would take a few years.My hope with MLS has always been the belief that they would decide that developing domestic talent is the most lucrative business option. That is what I tell to myself to justify my tolerance for the unsavory shit they do.
