Is it possible to watch the Atl/KC game online (legally)? It says it is on Fox Sports South, but I'm only seeing the Tor/Sea game.

Edit - Never mind, found it on their website. I kept going to Fox Sports Go.

So uh, if Toronto loses this game, when do Toronto fans start to panic a bit? TBH I don't think it'll end in a Seattle win, but Toronto isn't looking great so far this year... I know they've been changing their lineup for the Champions League, and they've had injuries and stuff but they still haven't looked good.

Panic? We won the cup last year. I'm good until I die. Besides we have no CBs.

Sounds like the Rooney to DCU deal is moving closer. I don't think it makes a ton of sense, but more power to them for finally spending some money on their team.

Seems like most of national soccer writers are shitting on the Rooney move, while most of the local people are saying DCU needs a reason for people to buy tickets and that's more important right now. Really seems like people are so idealistic and ignore the business aspects of transfers.

Ask Panama about the atrocity that is Mark Geiger.

Who is this Maerek Gagar you speak of?

This will shock you, but some of us have been following the league and CONCACAF competitions long before the ancient times of 2016.

You're born on third base as Atlanta United supporters, and are whining so hard on twitter like spoiled petulant children.

You Joffrey ass, "It's my new DP, I call him Barco"

I think a lot of it will come down to how much they're actually paying Rooney. The figures tossed around this morning have been all over the place as it's unclear how much of his wages his former teams will be eating.

The fuck is this bullshit? Just because we finally got a local team means jack shit as to how long I've been a soccer fan. Or how long I've been following the sport. Or how long I've been fucking playing the sport.

I'm not quite old enough to remember the Chiefs, but I'm close. I also wouldn't know anything about going to that shithole Silverbacks park all those years either.

It means Geiger called an actually decent game and you lost, but it had to be Geigers fault. Not Guzan's. Not Tata's. Not the DP signings. It's the refs fault for not giving you what you wanted.

You actually mentioned the Panama game, but how do you equate the two games? These two games are nothing alike.

Panama and Mexico were going in and Geiger was doing his best "No, I'm the boss!" Routine and was just far out of his depths. God damn that was a shit game.

Those two games are nothing a like. That fact that you brought it up as if you just goggled it to prove to me that Geiger is a shit ref when the two matches are so far removed from each other, is insulting.

You lost a home game? You have an FO that has deep pockets and is investing into the future of the club, you have arguably the best squad in the league, hands down the best stadium in the league. (I give no fucks about it being shared with the Falcons.) Your FO is investing in the fucking community, NOT WITH JUST FALSE PRETENSES.

Don't come at me with that "but, we got Geiger'd too!" No you didn't and even if you did still no. One home game?

I can't even tell what you are mad about. No other fanbase on earth gets mad at refs for questionable decisions? Like disallowed goals that should have clearly counted? That's what the boos were for, that's why I posted what I did. Dude also has a bit of a rep. The Guzan call was the right one, you'll notice I said nothing about that. Instead, my repeated comments about being extremely sloppy with our marking, our passing, and putting our extreme hardship signing on the spot.

I'm not even mad we lost. So what? #1 and #2 clubs in the league right now. If I'm irritated at anything, it's the disallowed goal and Guzan not being available for the next game. Don't son me. Not when you know nothing about me.

I don't think it's idealism as much as the fact that the buzz around having a good team is much more sustainable than the buzz around one name. How many people are genuinely going to keep shelling out to see a past-it Rooney lug around the pitch after the first three games? If a season ticket, after the first season? There's a reason the league has gone away from ineffective big-name purchases. And "business aspects"-wise, even assuming his wages are heavily subsidized (or he agrees to a pay cut), the rumored transfer fee is a crazy overpay.

LA! FC!

7 o clock games are ideal at Banc of California. The sun is low enough that it's behind the roof so it's bright but not blinding. Blessing header to Kaye. Yowzers.

I'm surprised Rooney wants to go to DC. I'm guessing they have the most money to spend on a DP?

How many people want to pay money to watch Wayne Rooney play soccer in 2018?

Giovani dos Santos LA Galaxy F $4,250,000.00 $6,000,000.00
Diego Valeri Portland Timbers M $2,320,000.00 $2,380,000.00

Valeri is making almost 5x now as when he first came to MLS.

Just looked up Piatti since he just got a big raise:

Base Salary Total Compensation
Ignacio Piatti Montreal Impact M $500,000.04 $4,713,333.37

I have never seen such a large gap between base salary and total compensation...
