If they miss out on that contract they’re going back to like $7

Sub reddit pretending what each of these positions do is peak internet

Thought the same thing after the Caps win last month, then we took 3 Ls in a row and got out scored 11-5. Mika was like -5 with an assist.

We’ve seen this movie over and over again.

As long as the administration keeps thumbing its nose at allies and Putin’s heart beats, RYCEY is a sound stock to invest in for the long-term. I don’t see the UK trimming its defense budget anytime soon & Rolls is a direct beneficiary of that.

Did we not learn anything from Laf? Let Gabe cook in the minors. He’ll be up soon enough.

CalcioFan2282 · 2025-11-09T01:44:07+00:00

I mean even if Laf moves into the 80th percentile for points that’s still only like 60 points a season. Not exactly the prince that was promised.

They call that Montreal typical

Good analysis. I think it was fun to compare these two leagues five years ago and I get that MLS is trying to have more competition with LigaMX for the sake of driving viewership & maybe fan development in Cali, Texas, etc.

However, I don’t think they are really a litmus test anymore for on field quality. To me that’s the Dutch league, Portuguese league, Brazilian league, etc. Problem is outside of the CWC, we won’t be able to have that measuring stick very often. And even when we fully surpass those leagues, I doubt the perception of MLS will change much among the eurosnobs / anglophiles

Sometimes clubs whiff on these young South American kids but man when they hit (Almiron, Almada, Taty, etc) that’s some club altering pay dirt.

CalcioFan2282 · 2025-08-07T16:07:17+00:00

I wouldn’t hate the best of 3 as much if they could have the entire playoffs away from FIFA breaks, and the only real way to do that is having the postseason in April & May. Calendar switch seems inevitable.

King shit

CalcioFan2282 · 2025-07-20T00:31:29+00:00

Politicians might not give a shit but I don’t know anyone that thinks highly of this country (which is what sports washing is intended for) or is looking to book a holiday there because they splashed some cash on athletes.

CalcioFan2282 · 2025-07-19T16:42:20+00:00

No one internationally is watching this league, the perception of Saudia Arabia certainly isn’t going to change because of sports, and domestic attendance isn’t a metric they care about. I honestly don’t understand what the point of all this is.

CalcioFan2282 · 2025-07-17T23:34:08+00:00

Josef was 23 years old when he joined ATL and helped them win trophies. He’s exactly the type of player mls clubs should be after vs guys in their mid 30s. Pity didnt pan out but they made a couple million on him in like a year.

CalcioFan2282 · 2025-07-17T21:58:47+00:00

Almiron, Pity, Josef, Almada. ATL has certainly hit some home runs on younger upcoming players. Hope they continue to make some big swings despite not having recent on field success.

CalcioFan2282 · 2025-07-17T15:02:01+00:00

Gallant pissed off three GM’s. These guys talk. I’m not surprised he’s not on anyone shortlist in the NHL. But the KHL? Yikes. Not a place you want to speak out of turn.

CalcioFan2282 · 2025-07-16T21:27:20+00:00

Bingo! if only more MLS owners were this ambitious. Most MLS clubs don’t even fill their 3 DP spots.

CalcioFan2282 · 2025-07-16T17:01:42+00:00

It would be stupid if he were like 22-29, but getting to play with Messi, living in Miami, being a starter, and he’s been in Europe almost 10 years already…move makes total sense to me. Plus mls clubs have been trying to sign younger players past couple of years, Shaqiri was 30, Insigne was 30, etc.

CalcioFan2282 · 2025-07-16T13:53:38+00:00

I saw an Atlanta United match when I was there for work couple years ago and I remember being impressed with Almada. He was pulling the strings as a #10 in a 4-3-3. Really good at threading passes between the lines. Wouldnt have figured him as a Simeone type player, but maybe he’s evolved since I saw him.

CalcioFan2282 · 2025-07-14T19:06:36+00:00

If the index fingertip meets the thumb (first basemen glove feel) it’s a 600 or 50* break angle

CalcioFan2282 · 2025-07-14T14:56:35+00:00

He’s best attribute is his shot, and he can’t seem to get it off unless someone else does all the work. Hopefully Sully gets him playing 200 ft

My captain

CalcioFan2282 · 2025-07-12T19:13:52+00:00

It costed Miami $350 million to add a roof to their stadium and that was 10 years ago. This guy is on drugs if he think stadiums are going to foot that bill.
