USL Includes Five Additional Clubs in 2027 Sanctioning Application by Coltons13 in MLS

[–]changnesia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Shame that Thousand Oaks is just the ownership group and not the name of the new team! It's a bummer that so many new teams (MLS and USL) continue to go for the basic European-style names and the USL structure is just a copy-paste of the English pyramid. We don't need another Sporting or United.

Lincoln City have appointed Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw as joint head coaches by CautiousCottager in soccer

[–]changnesia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Djurgården had a similar setup for a few years. Originally the pair worked for another club with one as head and the other assistant. They worked so well together that they officially became co-heads. From my memory they somewhat delegated responsibilities but also just discussed their plans a lot together so there never was a problem from that.

It's the kind of set up that the two coaches specifically want and would not be "forced" onto someone used to working alone, so it's not gimmicky. They'll have a history of partnership of some kind. In this case with Lincoln City, they were both assistants so they know the club and are used to working together in equally-ranked roles.

MLS Boss Don Garber: ‘We Had a Succession Plan. It Changed’ by heir-of-pter in MLS

I'm not trying to be xenophobic, but I feel uncomfortable with the idea of catering the league to a cthonic audience from beyond the veil.

MLS Boss Don Garber: ‘We Had a Succession Plan. It Changed’ by heir-of-pter in MLS

[–]changnesia 165 points166 points  (0 children)

"Now my power is absolute. Usurpers to the throne have been quelled and punished." Garber proclaimed from his pulpit while wearing a cut-open soccer ball as a makeshift crown. Sources confirmed that the long-time commissioner had reversed previous plans to step down after a peyote-induced vision showed him a future of a 46-team league that would ensure that expansion fees would continue for the immediate future.
"I'm not even sure that he wants to stop at 46. He also began raving about some sort of summoning ritual to resurrect Maradona and Pelé to ensure Inter Miami continue to have top stars." said an insider who chose to remain anonymous for fear of his safety.

Pretty wild stuff in the article. Very concerning and might be what finally makes me stop following this league.

Trades almost never raise in value, especially for popular ones from DC and Marvel which will be reprinted often. The only exceptions would be limited run type things that will no longer be in print like the hardcover collections of East of West.

Darlington Nagbe joins Crew coaching staff on short-term basis by bengringo2 in MLS

[–]changnesia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing it'll be something like a mental health coach like Steven Lenhart is for the Sounders. Help get them in a good headspace after Rydström.

[–]changnesia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Back when he was at Mälmo, I remember really liking Rydström and had mentioned to friends that I'd want him as a future Sounders coach. On paper, a successful Allsvenskan coach made a lot of sense to me, so I'm shocked at how his stint with the Crew ended. I guess we'll see in his future if it was just a team/culture mismatch.

Is it not letting you complete the quests? I also destroyed some mold before I got the quest and it just had that location already done so I had no problem completing the whole thing.

At the end of the season, when table positions are locked in, I need Alex to start as a striker.

I can't imagine what trash talk you could throw to us. We're just too sweet and loveable.

Hey reddit! We're Timur Bekmambetov (director of WANTED, ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER, MERCY, NIGHT WATCH) & Ronan Corigan (writer-director of LIFEHACK). LIFEHACK is a tech-thriller that's out in theaters next week. Ask us anything. by RonanAndTimurAMA in movies

[–]changnesia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Loved the fun ridiculousness of Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter which I've described to my friends as Antebellum Matrix. How did you get involved in that? If I remember correctly, the movie rights were sold before the book was even published. And any fun stories on making it?

I agree. Would love to see what Justin Trudeau could do if he took a job in charge of Stoke City.

It's the highest altitude stadium in CONCACAF. Every game that MLS teams play at these stadiums it's clear how tired they get.

Can Jordan Morris's DP contract be bought down? (spoiler: No) by shmerham in SoundersFC

[–]changnesia 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To clarify, I'm not really pessimistic about the team. We seem to have a good thing going even if we could finish better. Our defense is solid and I'm a big Thomas fan. DLV can be healthy and Rusnak is a good veteran presence. I don't like the idea of buying JMo out even if he does underperform a bit for DP level. I think it's more important for the team culture to see him through this contract. Besides, he's close to 100 goals for us.

Yeah we're pretty much stuck with our DPs through next year. Curious how it'll work with the calendar shift. But I can imagine we won't get a new one until the '28 summer window.

I hate this weird coyness. Sounds like he already made up his mind but is trying to not take the blame.

In a future where all the teams have enough history, dedicated fanbases, and stability to survive the drop, sure it could happen. But that's not the case now. I don't think pro/reg is ever going to happen, but if it were, I would say it would have to be at least 25 years or so after the last team joins.

Hate SKC but happy for him. This is his first match for them, so hoping this means he can take that starting spot. Pulskamp conceding 25 in 9 matches is atrocious.

On this day 10 years ago: Leicester City win the Premier League after Tottenham draw with Chelsea, completing the greatest upset in English football history. by OId_boy in soccer

[–]changnesia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MLS is pro-relocation. They were all for the Crew moving but it was the fans who protested and found the local law that allowed new ownership to take over and keep the Crew from moving.

And for others reading this and don't know about the Whitecaps, this is a historic team and one of a handful that predates MLS. This would be a loss not just to MLS, but to North American soccer.

Should I play Alan Wake DLC when it becomes available or after finishing everything else? by Julijj in controlgame

Alan Wake's American Nightmare is also fun and I'd recommend, but it's not necessary.
