Today's been rough as a Crew fan. First the new stadium renderings down in Austin coming out; word finally leaking out that the front office has spent the past few months, if not years in Austin securing the deal, and tomorrow being when it's supposed to be finalized and perhaps even announced; not to mention the number of supporters of other teams now doing an immediate 180 after seeing those renderings and saying how happy they'd be for a team there after being against it for so long.
I just want this to be over. I'm exhausted and tired of this. I'd rather the announce it already and expose themselves for who they are than drag this along any further under the guise of "we're not moving yet"
I'm so sorry. No stadium render will take away the bullshit, and anyone who's switched from "this is bad" to "this is good" are all horrible people (unless they are from Austin).
This whole Columbus ordeal is enough to sour me on the league as a whole. It's so fucking gross and amateur.
This ain't even the best 11.
Forreal? Damn
Apparently a second yellow to Bedoya for dissent and then a pair to the other for the same.
Yup. Missing Adams, Royer, Parker, Murillo, and Robles.
Wish I knewThat's a really cool looking set - but are they just keeping all the money or is anything going to LGBT+ causes?
I can't find the tweet now but someone was asked about this and only two MLS clubs made their players available to him O_oBah, that's a rough loss. I think all the fans expected it, but it still sucks. Fuck Spicy Dave for stealing our boys.
I feel like we could have won that one if we hadn't lost both Adams and Parker to Spicy Dave. We just got too decimated to beat a play-off level squad. Really hoping we manage a win in the Open Cup match.I can't find the tweet now but someone was asked about this and only two MLS clubs made their players available to him O_o
In October, the United States failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in more than 30 years. A loss to Trinidad and Tobago sealed their fate, but according to players, coaches, commentators, and executives across American soccer, the disaster doesn't come down to just one unfortunate result. No, it was the culmination of nearly a decade of mismanagement that broke the team's spirit and condemned them to failure.
Thanks, it's a good read.This was a good read. It really highlights how dysfunctional Gulati's US Soccer was and how blinded he had become by Klinsmann's charisma.

Had never actually hated someone in the sports world. Hate Jurgen.
That Chandler quote, goddamn. It certainly explains why he never performed for the US.This was a good read. It really highlights how dysfunctional Gulati's US Soccer was and how blinded he had become by Klinsmann's charisma.

Man. Imagine being black playing soccer that you're trying to act Latino/white. Wtf usaThis is another piece from The Guardian talking about how US soccer is mostly a white suburban sport and how the US lacks a soccer street culture unlike other countries.

Like the article says, a lot of kids don't see themselves when they look at the game internationally and even locally at times. I mean, look at the stars that MLS pushes: not a lot of black dudes. It's basically BWP and Jozy Altidore at this point and until recently the league was more than happy to ignore BWP in it's marketing despite his consistently high level of play.Man. Imagine being black playing soccer that you're trying to act Latino/white. Wtf usa
*puts him on the list next to Sidney Crosby, Don Garber, Precourt, Greely, Michael Bradley, Jozy, the entire Chicago Blackhawks team*
Yall watching the US Open Cup? North Carolina just scored a golazo by what can only be described as bootleg Zlatan:
