Congrats! And this is something we can all get behind.
(I still need to get over there to a game.)
I'm hoping the $450 million in renovations just announced for the Superdome here in New Orleans will include plans to make the stadium able to properly accommodate soccer matches.
Though I know us getting a team is not going to stop being the longest of shots any time soon. It's a shame, because local soccer culture has so much potential (for example). Our only "pro" team (the Jesters in the NPSL) took 2019 off so that the people involved could focus more on developing youth talent. It seems like we have the people, but no strong business ventures building on that.
And we'd have a stronger rivalry with Atlanta than any other team in the league.

That would be interesting. Seems like there's quite a few teams ahead if you right now.
I hate that all these new teams are, "FC", "SC", "Inter". I'm okay with some being named that, but I like some random ass animal or random name to a team.

Think a lot of people were wondering if Philly had the horses to stay in first and make it far in the playoffs.
I just realized the CBA ends this year and before next season start. What will both sides want to resign so that there's no lock out?
This is the same as we've been since 2012 though? We're just going to be playing in NISA starting in the spring.
Earthquakes need to figure things out ASAP. Going to take a few more results if they want to get into the playoffs, and their remaining schedule is tough.
I am concerned about this. Would be terrible to have a lockout right now.

Wayne going scorched earth on his way out between this and the refs yesterday. Honestly, good.. Push the owners to change.
Nice win by Atlanta in Portland to take first in the east. Bears repeating, this team is a different team with the 3 DPs playing in Josef, Pity, and Barco. Not having Barco for 2 months was rough. Villalba finally getting healthy too after a couple months out.
Team is in a good place.

I'm hoping we'll see the cap increased substantially.
And apparently many GMs are pushing for the same? I'm sure owners will push back.
MLS considering "significantly altering the salary budgets"
The cap is what's keeping MLS sides from winning CCL at this point. The best starting 11's can compete and win, but the MLS sides aren't deep enough.

Seemed like Almeyda was mad that the 4th official told him they'd check the play and once they didn't, he lost his shit as the previous handball had been reviewed. Official should've kept his mouth shut. What a play by Vela. I was going to travel to LA from SJ to watch the match too.
Imagine being the last team above the playoff line currently and firing that coach midseason to get Wilmer Cabrera. That's real ambition.

Ok...he just became my favorite MLS player. Great for the league.
Now, if LAFC could just sign an all star CB to guard Zlatan I'd feel better about the playoffs.

Always fun being on the other end of the goal of the season. 😒
Current discussion with my Quakes friends online - how long is Almeyda going to get suspended for his post-ejection antics on the sideline? Any bets?
Anyway, Quakes really need wins against Vancouver and Orlando at home before their schedule gets brutal in the home stretch.

It'd be a Lightning getting swept/73 win warriors blowing a 3-1 lead type of failure for LAFC to not win MLS cup this year

If LAFC doesn't win it prepare for a bunch of commentary about how the single elimination playoffs somehow rewards inferior teams.
Real talk, RBNY would have won last year if it was single elimination

You don't really know that because every team would have approached single elimination differently.
They need to reduce the amount of teams and put it back to home and home.
Nah, home and home devalues the regular season. If you host first you have an advantage. Winning the sheild should matter, it didn't before but it does now.

I'm all for more dunking on Cincy FC. I loved their "we crushed this league" tifo right before flaming out of the USL playoffs last year.
