Believe that there are problems with that from a union perspective. There's basically no way for the Galaxy to do this without breaking league or CBA rules. Or of course, the league could change the rules as it looks like they're going to.

There is a quote from the union in the athletic story, basically saying if this ends up getting Gio more money guaranteed even if it's over a longer time they are okay with it. So say the Galaxy buy him out with a 4 million check and then re-sign him for 1.5x2 years, which gets bought down to make him a TAM player, the union would be okay with that.
Ah okay, then that's one solution here. Thanks
I wonder how this wasn't an option before to buy players out of their contract to put them under the TAM limits.
Pretty sure there was talk of us and Liga MX joining it in 2020
It's a great idea, IMO. Imagining an MLS team playing at Boca or River Plate. Or vice versa. Would be great.
The Derby Days by Copa 90 for the River vs Boca game was incredible, though that was the Superclàsico. Still, imagining TFC, Atl, Sporting KC, or whoever traveling to play in that kind of game would be amazing.

Would be weird to see, especially when CONCACAF is doing their own Copa thing.
I don't like it as much as the primary home kits but it's grown on me a little. I have the primary already and want the King Peach one.

I agree. I think its my fav of all the new ones revealed so far this year.
Not feeling it, but it's Orlando so I don't think I can be unbiased here. Lol
Looking over the highlights of RB2.5 vs the Timbers is interesting. White scored once but had a few good chances (with more minutes he'll definitely be better), but the big thing was that from the look of it we played a 4-3-3 which is pretty new for us. Usually it's a 4-2-3-1 and we aspire to the 4-2-2-2. Armas is definitely putting his stamp on the team.
VAR is in preseason form tho, some of those calls man.

Yeah I'm down with it. Weah is obviously very promising for the USMNT. Miazga also has some of those heel qualities.

Good. It's insane that there hasn't been more young talent coming out of that part of the country.
Yeah that's great, but what happened to that talk of making Copa America an EuroCup challenger and including Concacaf every 4 years (i.e. next one would be 2020 then 2024 and so on)?
I expect a lot of boring 1-0 type games for FC Cincinnati. They really spent on a defense but don't have any creative attackers. Making Adi their only DP is fine but I don't see where he's gonna get consistent service from. Oh well. Gonna enjoy some games this summer at Nippert regardless.
Okay so a couple of things that are going to apply mostly to me and me alone:
USSF just sanctioned this prospective independent league as a third division league. They've proposed teams in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Charlotte, and Boston, and apparently an ownership group in San Diego (the same one that was trying to break into NASL a few seasons ago) will have a team in the league as well. San Diego (where I live) is a feasible soccer city, but we have a tiny soccer footprint. (The Galaxy have a U-23 squad that I think splits time here)
Also, CCL begins tomorrow and American viewers can watch it on Yahoo, which I cannot believe is still tryin' to break into the live sports game. Though SKC has played well in the preseason so far I'm gonna go out on a limb and be incredibly pessimistic about how they'll perform against Toluca. Toluca doesn't seem to be doing great in the Liga MX Clausura so far but it's early in the year. I don't know, these opening rounds for CCL are always so hard to get ready for as a fan. I guess it doesn't hurt that I'll be in class during SKC's whole match so I won't be able to pull my hair out watching it.

Yeah I plan on watching the games tonight and am excited. Hoping MLS teams can make a run.
Not really, only the MLS vs LigaMX games are fun, I don't care one bit about the central american teams.
What, you don't want to see them hack at your star players and try to make an ugly game?

CCL Fever hasn't quite grabbed me yet. I'll be watching the games and yelling about them in the discord server anyway.
Imagine teasing this kit as the "black diamond kit" knowing full well that it is a plain white shirt. The black diamond is way down on the bottom left facing.
Adidas can go now.
Let the teams get it sorted. If that means ATL gets Nike and COL gets Kappa or Hanes anyway, so be it.
The rest of the league is so bad it makes this look tight

Pretty sure those uniform rights are Adidas until 2024. So we're stuck with recycled designs until then.
Apparently Atlanta and Nagbe have worked things out and he's staying. He said it was some personal issues that Atlanta allowed him to step away from the team to handle, but people were saying last week that he had problems with upper management. Regardless, it seems to be over now and he's on the CCL roster.
Should show up in the OP after you post once in the thread.
Yes, TFC look like shit so far. Bradley with a couple bad giveaways and their defense looks very vulnerable to counters. I'm really not sure how they're going to score without Jozy.
They're not a great looking team this year.
Edit: LMAO they missed a PK.

How long is Jozy out? And yeah, this team isn't a threat on offense and look bad on defense.
