I forgot Reno got a new USL team. It'll fail hard but at least they made an attempt.
>>67259022
Why would it fail?
There's nothing else in Reno but a minor league baseball team
>>67258982
They put it on without a lot of warning, and I haven't seen any marketing outside of r/uslpro. I thought the test game was going to be Sacramento and RSL II playing here in June.
>>67259022
It'll be interesting to see how long Simon keeps losing money with the team. Best case scenario, Sacramento goes up and 1868 becomes SJ and Sacramento's farm team.

I bet on all 6 MLS games last night, won all of them except one. Thanks for having a predictable league
>>67260541
its a tough league to bet, thats for sure.
RSL shouldve been your best bet yesterday.
Why is NYCFC such a laughing stock of a team? They had promise, terrorist oil money and play actually in NY.
>>67260570
I bet cautiously, but yeah. Only lost out on Montreal. About as tricky as betting on Ligue 1.
>>67260629
because people like you don't stick around for more than 2 games
>>67260638
thats a good comparison, mls is exactly like ligue 1/2. home teams favored, good odds but it never happens that way.
it doesnt help that there is a lot of parity, factors involved. i saw most of the matches this weekend and a lot of them hinge on just one big play, or one penalty call, etc. so even if you make the right call, it's still a bit random. anyway.. Toronto +0.5 today!

confirmed for world cup 2014
>>67260638
Predicting the cup and seasonal winners is where it gets tough, MLS matches in of themselves don't have completely unexpected results all the time because of the parity, but when you look at a whole season and who wins the trophies that's where betting/predicting gets tough, not many people had RB and Tumblrs as the SS and MLS Cup winners last season for example
Its not that MLS is 'hard' to bet on, but betting a large amount on a league like MLS will come back to hurt you if you do it enough
>>67261037

How many times have you heard some US soccerfag claim "its the world's game, bro" when defending the sport? Meanwhile, on the other side, you have Fox News saying that the rise of MLS is the end of American exceptionalism.
>>67263354
Its usually the "my ancestors are from Germany/Italy/literally where" fags.
>>67263262
i don't know much about people supporting other national teams. i know some that do because of their heritage, despite the fact that they were born here. i know some support other teams because they like their players or their style. but the vast majority of people i know support the US, despite them putting in poor performances regularly.
outside of the 4chan bubble, currently soccer is still a sport for elites in this country. rich moms like it because it's not as physical as football, it requires more activity than baseball and isn't yet overrun with blacks like basketball. many left-coast bleeding heart pussy liberals like soccer not because it's european or soccer is itself socialist but because it's more aligned with other aspects of their value system.
non-professional football has a stranglehold on southern culture so even the elites below the mason-dixon and in rural regions much prefer football to soccer. it has that slave-breeding gladiator sport feeling white southerners drool over. my point is, there are more powerful and important reasons why soccer fans tend to be more liberal.
the real soccer in this country is played by women anyway.
>>67263623
>despite them putting in poor performances regularly
That's mostly on the non-American coach.
>>67263484
>How many times have you heard some US soccerfag claim "its the world's game, bro" when defending the sport?
the sport doesn't need defending. and it doesn't need america involvement at all.
the reason why soccer is so much more popular than american sports around the world is due to the style differences between american and british imperialism. so saying "soccer is the global sport" is like saying "the british empire were bigger dickheads about preserving existing colonial culture". american imperialists simply were not and are not interested making indigenous people american. american imperialists interest only extended as far as supporting the existing american industrial and commercial engines.
>>67263623
>non-professional football has a stranglehold on southern culture so even the elites below the mason-dixon and in rural regions much prefer football to soccer. it has that slave-breeding gladiator sport feeling white southerners drool over.

klinsmann isn't doing any worse than the people before him. people forget that jurgen klinsmann is one of the most decorated european soccer players and and coaches ever. it's not is fault his talent pool from which to draw from is a very large departure from what exists in europe or south america at the moment. his job isn't to win international trophies, that would be nice but his main task is avoiding embarrassment and growing the fan base domestically. two things which he's done moderately well.
going down the line player-by-player, the usmnt isn't any better than mexico in every position and lot worse than mexico in a few key, imprtant positions. mexico isn't winning the world cup any time soon and neither is the us. chile would have a very difficult time reaching a world cup final and they're clearly superior to the us in almost every dimension. it's not the coaches fault. it's not anyone's fault. it's just the state of the culture.

americans who care about soccer want to be the best in soccer just like every other country on the planet. but it's not up the fans, it's up to where the entire country places it's priorities.
the us is about 100 times bigger than uruguay yet uruguay could play us off the field in short order. why? because they care more than we do, for now.
similarly, the uswnt is pretty much unstoppable internationally simply because soccer is the most popular team sport for young american girls.
maybe mens soccer wont ever become popular here, that's not a good thing or a bad thing, it's just a thing.

just don't bet a lot of money on one match, you never know when the parity meme will strike, it's common that every team gets BTFO at some point by any team, its not uncommon for the MLS Cup/SS winner to have multiple really bad games during the season to the point where they aren't considered contenders
