>>63456784
what fucking assholes, imagine if your seats were behind that big ass sign
>@whatahowler: #TFW you realize Patrick Vieira is only two years older than Frank Lampard
Is viera a good manager? I only ask because everyone dismissed marsch when he was hired and said he wouldn't be better than petke. Firing kreis seems so crazy that it might just work.
>>63459287
Not really. Red bull fans were more upset that Ali Curtis suddenly decided to fire Petke. I believe most red bull fans were willing to give Marsch a chance, especially after he gave a good impression at the first town hall meeting. Plus, Marsch did a decent job at Montreal, but got fired because he didn't agree on certain things with Joey Saputo, not because the team had a poor performance.
>>63459440
>>63459287
Yeah
At least Marsch had experience as a coach in MLS
How could Vieira possibly cope with a draft?

Newest NASL team: Rayo OKC
http://www.empireofsoccer.com/announce-oklahoma-club-42286/
>>63461374
Holy shit NASL just fucked up Why OKC?! Literally 100 cities in california that are better.
>>63460871
thanks bb
>>63461489
They had an owner who wanted in, something those CA cities lack.
>>63461374
>Originally, NASL awarded Sold Out manager Brad Lund and former partner Tim McLaughlin of OKC Pro Soccer LLC the expansion franchise distinction under the “Oklahoma City FC” banner in July of 2013.
>McLaughlin left the NASL ownership group a year later to take a 50% stake in what is now the USL’s OKC Energy FC.
Getting keked by USL, sad fucking times for Traffic "Sports".
>>63462103
tfw i will never win the lotto and make a cheeky team in So Cal to win the US Open Cup
>>63459287
>everyone dismissed marsch when he was hired and said he wouldn't be better than petke
As an RBNY fan, that's not entirely accurate. Most people questioned Marsch's credentials, but acknowledged that he almost took an expansion team to the playoffs and probably wouldn't be a terrible coach. Petke was no Bruce Arena, but he got the results; the majority of the outrage was based on a successful coach being fired.
And it was painfully ironic for me because I thought Marsch did a good job at Montreal and would always wonder why other teams didn't look into him. Now I'm glad they didn't.
>>63459518
While I think that Viera has his work cut out for him, I'm not understanding the issues people bring up with drafts, DP slots, allocation order, ect. The system is bullshit, but he can learn and even so, isn't this Claudio Reyna's job.
I think the truly difficult part of being the manager of NYCFC is going to be getting the team to not resent each other. When some players are making 100x (not an exaggeration) what their teammates are, it's got to be hard to get them to play together.
Also, dealing with the old players that have "injuries" and just seem like they can't be bothered with MLS can't be fun. Especially when orders from Manchester are to cater to those players.
>>63460871
You don't get 90% of this joke
>>63463217
We don't actually know what Reyna is
But Reyna's inexperience is going to hinder any attempt Vieiria has
Does Reyna know how to game the system? Fuck no
Plus it seems like he has very little power over this
>>63461489
OKC latches onto everything that you put their name on. Just look at their AHL/CHL attendance over the years.
>>63463396

>>63463455

>>63463443
>new york prepare your anuses
But we went to your stadium and shut you out...
>>63463443
Is there any argument that FCD is the best value in world soccer? Does any other team perform so well for so cheap? That being said. Dan needs to get on the phone this offseason and get some big names.
>>63463530
yes they have plenty of money
this good run will already get people interested in playing here
maybe a really good defender would help
>>63463485
Oh, I figured they were moving the Energy to the NASL. What kinda attendance have they been drawing. I just remember FCD beating the shit out of them in the cup.
>>63463596
Almost 4,500, according to Wikipedia. Man I hope >we do that well.
OKC derby is going to be the most intense in the world.
>>63463571
One of my buddies who work for FCD told me that Swansea tried to buy Fabi for $28m this summer but Fabi wanted to stay.
>>63465692
hellfuckyes pls don't go fabi
>>63463571
Nah, they have MLS tier defense, what need is proper target. Blas got old real quick, good for maybe 30-45 minutes. Tex is spotty at best and Tesho isn't a good target, seems to play better out wide drifting in.
>>63465789
their attack has been inconsistent but pretty powerful
their defense was hardly able to stop seattle
>>63465858
Not saying we shouldn't shore up the defense but big money on a defender? Nah, we need a dependable goal scorer up top. Get that and basically won't have to defend.
Gotta love that CONCACAF travel. USA with a 2,700 mile flight between their two qualifiers and Canada having to make a 3,000+ mile trip from Vancouver to San Salvador. That's gotta be culture shock, going from Hongcouver on Friday to MS-13 on Tuesday.

The next generation of U.S. soccer is even more doomed than what we're currently seeing: http://soccer.nbcsports.com/2015/11/09/no-more-heading-us-soccer-unveils-new-concussion-protocol-for-youth-soccer
Iceland, who if you haven't noticed, are doing pretty damn well in the Euros after having heavily invested into youth soccer and infrastructure, identified 8-10 as the window in which players have to learn technique to become world class, unless they're some naturally gifted freak. Now, those players in the U.S. will be banned from practicing headers, and they'll only be allowed to do them in game from 11-13, after that window.
Expect the 2035 USMNT to score even fewer goals. But of course, Taylor Twellman doesn't care about that: "Can't tell you how emotional I am that progress is being made and I can't wait to see it come to fruition."
>>63461374
I was about to laugh at NASL for having one of the most cringeworthy yuro names yet, but apparently they're actually owned by Rayo Vallecano.
Not sure whether it's much better to be a NASL team whose parent club is bottom of the table in La Liga though.
>>63471795
Messi is not known for his headers mate, you just gotta develop ground technique, which is good because dribling down the flanks and throwing crosses hoping to connect with one of your team mates is boring as fuck.
Hopefully we'll see more play making and less hail mary crosses in the sport.

>“It's just a normal statement to make when there are mistakes," Klinsmann said. "A lot of people didn't realize what actually happened, and that's why I explained it. I'm honest enough to say, this is what happened. He didn't think that way in that moment. It was a mistake in that moment. We have to learn our mistakes so we avoid for the next time. I think it won't happen any more. Sometimes you have to say things publicly to get everyone on board. But the door is always open.
Klinsmann in charge of backpedaling
>>63471795
ehh this'll just focus more development on dribbling and not just longballing it to the tallest kid on the field.

Doesn't sound so impressive when you know the whole story, huh?
>>63491371
They only care about certain players, not the teams and leagues themselves. There's a reason why Telemundo's EPL ratings are on par with NWSL games. Mexicans in particular just want to see their countrymen do well.
>>63491447
On a top kek note, India (like France) waited until the groups were drawn before withdrawing from that 1950 World Cup. They still played soccer barefoot in their country, which FIFA had banned after the 1948 Olympics. True povertyball.
So, in the end, there were 4 groups: Group A had 4 teams, Group B had 4, Group C had 3, and Group D had 2. Uruguay literally only had to beat Bolivia to advance to the final round (they did, 8-0).
It was the only time in World Cup history that the final round was just another group stage. On the last day of the tournament, Uruguay won a cheeky 2-1 game over Brazil, the host country, who had BTFO everyone up to that point besides Switzerland.
tl;dr the 1950 World Cup was a meme tournament and not even grandpas on /sp/ should defend it

Futsal is really similar to indoor soccer. AFAICT the main difference is the hockey-liked walls in indoor soccer vs. letting the ball go out of bounds in futsal. Which, futsal is probably better for development, and it closer to "real" soccer... but banking a pass off of the wall to yourself or a teammate is really cool.
League is called MISL.

Getting older and pretty injury prone these days, m8. He was never quite the same after his injury in.... 2013, I think. If we're planning on going into rebuilding mode, moving on from honey badger is probably the best decision, painful a it might be.
>>63509931
Just looked it up, I thought it was old but I didn't realize he was 30. He's only got a few (weaker) years left in him. Probably better to move on, like we did with Rosales.
>>63507779
I'm not saying they are on the same level of talent. I'm saying building your team with young players who grew up playing together in the academy is a smart move and not "meme" at all.
now that /wwe/ is banned from /sp/, maybe Santino will return to /mls/

I hope someone has the stream.
>>63509774
kek, great start
>>63510184
Except Rosales wasn't a Sounder legend. It's like Zach Scott, just keep em around to fill injuries and let them retire with the team. Sure, they'll have to restructure Ozzie's contract (pay it down with the TAM imo), but can you imagine playing against him on another MLS team? My fucking heart.

>>63518112
he's gonna bow out midseason because of that undeclared health issue, congrats sounders.
>>63516884
If Ozzie wants to restructure his contract, I'd be all for that, but I somehow doubt he's willing to take a paycut from his 800k salary to become a non-DP.
>>63518112
Seattle should go out and get Lalas as their commentator IMHO

>Malik bought the team two weeks ago for two reasons: His company, Medfusion, had become relatively self-sufficient, and he could see the window closing fast on any chances of putting an MLS team in Raleigh. Buying the RailHawks, Malik thought, was the best first step toward that goal.

Neat, more southern teams.
RBNY-Timbers final.
If Timbers win, Seattle fags would whine. If Red Bull win, NYCFC fans would whine.
>>63522936
Doubt he'll get one though
Charlotte is a better bet
I however hope that he's an inspiration for more rich guys buying teams in lower teams to improve them for sustainability for pro/rel would be feasible

Is there a gamethread for America - St. Vincent?

Let's just do it in >>63523836 since it's a small game
>>63531794
Fuck that shit
>>63531805
First time I got to see Oalex Anderson. He's the guy that scored the goal for St. Vincent and was their best attacking player. He's with Sounders 2 right now, rumored to be in line for a full senior contract next year. I can't wait!
>>63535944
Good for him scoring a goal, but he's not ready to play in MLS, based on his performance in USL this past season. Still very raw and another year in USL will do him good.
>>63530743
I thought about relocation, bus is that really allowed? Aside from moving to a suburb for stadium reasons.
LAG and Seattle can have their owners' AI programmed in that way, good idea.
Bayern Milwaukee when?

I've given up on him being sent home or even benched.
Hopefully these young guys keep getting play time so Krautsmann has other options.

Where's that anon that always bitches about AEG not selling Houston? There, you got your wish.
>>63542391
What does this mean for Houston? Better management?
>>63542411
Probably some local owner who cares about the team. AEG has helped out Houston, especially with building their new stadium, but everyone knows AEG cares more about the Galaxy, the other team they currently own in MLS.
>>63542411
no more conflict of interest
>>63542391
Yay, about damn time.
Now the team can legitimately be shit without fans blaming AEG for shilling out on LA.
Seriously anything will be better at this moment with the fuckheads trying to find their "identity" that was "lost" this season.
>>63542411
Houston will be disowned and no longer the red haired stepson of the LAG thats what 80% of fans see from this now as it stands.

Looks like the rumors will be confirmed that no teams will have a third kit. The only one in that catalogue is the keeper shirt with the asymmetric sleeves that Sean Johnson wears for the Chicago Fire.
