Not lying, Garber thinks it will split the norcal fan base that already goes to SJ games. He wants to tap into places that don't have MLS readily available (Detroit, St Louis, Indianapolis)

Garber could end that argument instantly by releasing revenue figures for SUM on MNT vs. WNT. He hasn't, which suggests they may have a case.
>>66521045
>Garber
NASLEL Shills leave
Fuck off Geiger
>>66521045
>Garber
You mean Gulati? Garber literally doesn't know anything about the USMNT. And Jurgen keeps it that way.
>imagine if Garber posted in 4chan
>>66521089
>>66521134
He's CEO of SUM, which manages revenue from both national teams. SUM pays USSF a guaranteed fee each year for the national team broadcast and sponsorship rights, and whatever profit it makes on top of that gets distributed to MLS. No one knows how much the women's team brings in because SUM is an LLC and isn't required to report its finances.
>>66521211
Releasing the report would probably incriminate USSF in a lot of shit.
>>66521045
>>66521211
more like garber doesn't want to seem like a sexist male patriarchy putting the womyn down!
>>66521211
Gulati said the men bring in twice as much as the women
But if you don't believe him then just look at the non-world Cup games and you'll see a huge disparity in ratings and generally one with attendance
Plus the USSF has to prop up the NWSL so whatever they make from the women would have to go towards that (and if it doesn't then the men have something to complain about)
>>66521366
The USWNT is a privilege. They should take their shit to their clubs.
>>66521366
If the men bring in twice as much as the women, then the women should make half as much as the men. Currently they make less than that.
Sending WNT revenue to NWSL would make sense and be an improvement. As it is, WNT revenue above the USSF guarantee goes to pay MLS wages.
I hate SJW bullshit the same as everyone else here, but this arrangement really does appear to be incredibly unfair.
>>66515672
Lol and you used the pic I made
>>66521465
It's not unfair. The notion that the federation has to be the primary source of income to others playing in clubs is bullshit. If Germany MNT went on strike because their federation wasn't paying them they wouldn't be hailed as heroes, they be greedy. It's the same shit for everyone else. It's supplementary income. Not even, as all WC dates aren't even in their league season. So it's amounted to People bitching about what amounts to a holiday bonus and being complimented for doing so.
LGTSS
>Ded Bulls
>>66521550
The women's team should expect to be compensated the same as the men's, relative to the revenue they produce. If they women's team brings in half the revenue as the men's team, then the pay structure should be the same as the men's team with all the values reduced by 50%. As it stands, compensation between the two teams is far worse than that. The men get paid more for qualifying than the women would for winning the damn World Cup.
Additionally, the women have no upside should the team see an increase in sponsorship and viewership. Any profits beyond the flat fee USSF charges go to pay MLS players' wages. That's perverse. The NWSL should at least get a cut of that proportional to what the WNT produces.
>>66521465
If you're basing the "less than half" based on that world cup bonus chart, that's not from US Soccer
Germany got less of a percentage than the USWNT for their world cup win
>>66521735
The NWSL is run on MLS dime. Much like the WNBA it cannot be a standalone league. It probably costs MLS much more than their financial report says and its also why clubs are desperate to have associations with MLS clubs
tfw no one on earth cares about this super tight finish
check your hipster following privilege
>>66521735
>The men get paid more for qualifying than the women would for winning the damn World Cup.
That's not USSF's doing
That's FIFA's doing
And the men's made a shit ton more than the women's
>>66521791
Germany's compensation structure isn't particularly relevant. What matters is the difference between the US national teams, relative to their revenue.
If compensation is in line with revenue, Garber can release SUM's revenue reports and end the whole thing. That he's not doing so implies something is fishy somewhere, though it might just be that MLS's billionaire owners don't like having attention drawn to them.
>>66521838
>Man City D
kek Straya, get your shit together
>>66521904
I'd argue it's completely relevant.
The men's game has a lot more Parity than the women's.
Germany's compensation was shit even though they put together an almost miraculous run, including 7-1 and beating Argentina. Compared to the USWNT who literally faces no competition whatsoever and gets paid more.
>>66521999
they're literally just an attacking trio
>>66521904
The relevant part was that this is FIFA money, not USSF money
The men's world cup makes much more revenue than the women's yet the federations get a much more larger slice of WWC revenues than the men's
They're acting as if winning the Moldovan first division should result in the same bonus as the EPL
Their case has been promoting this mainly however, not the actual compensation from USSF from elsewhere
>>66522181
The law suit isn't just about the WC though. Its about how much money USSF pays players for national team call ups, and results. That's not a FIFA mater.
>>66522048
Germans also get paid more by their clubs, and aren't subject to salary caps and collective bargaining agreements the way MLS and NWSL are.
It's true that the USWNT doesn't face nearly the same competition in the game, but if they bring in revenue it doesn't matter how well they play. Compensation in a capitalist society is dependent on value created; if enough people want to watch the WNT BTFO other countries' ladies every year, then that's value being created by the WNT.
Mainly I just want to see the revenue split at SUM from the two teams. If the WNT produces anywhere near what the MNT does, it would be an injustice to filter that money through MLS before it hits NWSL.
Of course, the women really need to get their union's shit together. A lot of this is down to their CBA, which seems very poorly negotiated.
>Red Bulls fans butthurt at the revs for not playing it out
Pretty hypocritical tbqh. Nobody plays the ball out until the ref whistles it dead or tells them to kick it out anyway.
Marsch played a hurt player and he deded in the middle of the play, should be on the coach, not the other team.
>>66522328

Because, dear sister of great Maryland and NYCFC Striker Patrick Mullins, teams are only allowed a certain amount of chartered flights per year. It's so the players with shit ownership don't feel bad. I've been on a JetBlue with your brother on it before
>>66522905
Did you mean only 8?
See the problem with that is there's no playin-game, so less incentive to get higher up in the table
>>66523080
No I thought 8 per conference, which I believe encourages mediocrity a bit too much

Obviously he should have gotten up if he wasn't hurt badly.
But if you see a opposing player down, you stop. That's how sportsmanship works.
Also, at the very least Agudelo should have played as if the defenders standing up were the last men back. Using the guy on the ground to keep you onside is dirty.
>>66524014
I'm honestly more upset at Marsch potentially fucking up one of the best LBs in the league than Agudelo cherry-picking. They said Lawrence's knee popped. Watch it's going to be a ligament issue.

In your dreams only, this is our year lad
>>66549340
There usually is for old firm games but they don't move very fast. I assume Chicago isn't a 'soccer city'?
>>66549396
The team is terrible and the stadium isn't in Chicago, but Union are the same way and have good attendance so idk
Who /USL/ here?
>>66549396
Chicago has been Aston Villa tier for a while, though this season I've seen them play better so far.
>>66549422
>>66549491
Does Barnetta see much game time? I remember him being highly rated in Germany but never really hitting the heights he should have.
>>66549528
He had a knee injury but he should get subbed in today. I'd imagine him to be a regular starter for the rest of the season.
Holy Shit this weather.
Chicago is finished. Look at this attendance there is no saving this team. Relegation when?

>>66549754
Thunderstorms here pale in comparison to the ones in the states. Everybody tends to ignore them.

You're probably right, hopefully one day American soccer culture could be more prevalent in society.

>>66550112
Just looked him up, seems like he could be a useful player for >us. Just coming into the prime of his career. Ilsinho looks like he has great quality though.
>>66550193
He was playing at shakhtar donetsk, so he has some champions league experience. He's real good.
>>66549912
>my opener
Lol no
I'm not a Chiraq fan
>>66550219
Is that who he is? Pretty surprised to see him in mls with all due respect. He could easily still cut it in Europe.
>>66550256
the point is chicago is going to fold in the foreseeable future.
>>66549691
>NorCal speaking about inclimate weather
>>66550273
I think so too, but Shakhtar let him go last summer so he wasn't playing for a while.
But yeah, I think he could probably go back to Europe again. I like having someone with that experience hanging around the team though.
>>66550322
Do you think if Chicago folded, MLS would sit it out a few years there before becoming reincarnated as something else like a Chivas/LAFC situation? Garber is all about muh media markets.
>>66550342
Can only be a positive for Union and the league. May well convince other players of similar quality to come over.
>>66550496
It'll be too late, that market will belong to NASL anyway.
>>66550553
I think players are already fine with coming over here, the problem is that MLS teams need the salary cap at least doubled to bring all those guys in.
Europe is still always going to be more important than North America, but if we could spend the money I think we could bring in some quality guys.
>>66550582
>
>>66550322
It's more about just how shit the Fire have been
But it's nowhere close to the Chivas situation
God fucking damn it
Pittsburgh vs Rochester
reffball
>>66550661
I thought the chivas situation was that they were shit and no one went to the games/watched on TV so the league was losing money. Is that not the case in Chicago?
>>66550723
Riverhounds in MLS when?
Ft. Lauderdale vs Miami
>>66550636
I'm sure alot of the bigger cities can be a draw to players if the wages were there. I'd rather live in Philly than the Majority of towns in England. However the money just isn't there for the big players.
Lame as fuck bruh.
The guy that just scored has been poor up until then. Smash and grab. I'd be happy with a point after that red card.
>>66550753
That wasn't even the case with Chivas
It was more of a blemish to the brand but they could have kept it alive
Plus the Fire don't have to share a stadium
They're not losing enough money to be in a lot of trouble
>>66550777
Right but you can never replicate Champions League here, we don't have the prestige.
I'm sure that will draw some of the higher tier players away from this league, even if MLS was willing to allow higher wages.
>>66550822
>They're not losing enough money to be in a lot of trouble
As if the jews cooking the books at MLS HQ would ever let anyone know the real financial situation of the teams or league as a whole.
Charlotte vs Harrisburg
>Charlotte’s bench: #26 Renfro (GK), #14 Hilton (M), #15 Bartlett (D), #16 Appiah (M), #19 Martinez (F), #20 Hellmann (F), #24 Ochoa (M)

>.@city_islanders Bench: Broome, Campbell, Bolduc, Jankauskas, Doyle, Benbow, Dabo
>>66550839
I suppose that will always be one of the main factors that will hold back football in the states. Feels to me like the MLS has just been too late to the party to come up with an effective strategy to attract the higher quality players. Europe is seen as the top goal for young players all over the world.
Is the Philadelphia grand delusions finally over?
>>66551076
No. This is our year.
>>66551020
I think living in America will be a good incentive over playing in Championship, but yeah the history and prestige of Europe will never go away.
But yeah, maybe a North American league was a little too late

>>66551143
The positive thing is that it looks to me that the only way is up for the MLS. It's getting stronger every year and if the local communities get on board, I see no reason why it can't become one of the strongest leagues in the world.
>>66551258
All I want is for MLS to be better ranked than Mexico and Argentina. Other than that I'm happy having a team near me. Get to wake up and watch European leagues then go to MLS games in the afternoon, its a good setup 2bh

>>66551836
Meh, no different to any other city imo. Plenty of stuff for you to do if you are there for a few days. If i'm still around here if or when you decide to do it, i'd have no problem with showing you around.

What is Dallas' problem with attendance. I just don't get it. They're good and have been for a while now. It's a Saturday night which would be at least 90% sold out at any other city (minus Chiraq) and they still have tarps over seats. Are there not enough Mexicans in Dallas who give a fuck?
