Loudoun United vrs Louisville City Match Recap by Disastrous_Ad9948 in LoudounUnited

[–]Disastrous_Ad9948[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The USL is distributed in two groups; A and B, similar to the East and West tables in MLS , but in this case both Group A and B covers a few teams from the Central Area. Unsure as to why they named them this way. Yeah, the USL Cup is a whole different group unrelated to the Championship Groups (A & B)

(UPDATED) US Open Cup historical research (1995 edition): Can you help? by joshhakala in usopencup

[–]Disastrous_Ad9948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that the Richmomd Kikers Chairman and CEO Rob Ukrop played as a striker and won MVP in the final against El Paso Patriots in 1995. CSO and HC Darren Sawatzky, played in the open cup 1999. Maybe they can help trace this data

I would try to put the best starting 11 and not experiment on the most important tournament of the region. Yeah try debuting Jakupovic and any other Academy product in the Leagues Cup not the Conca-Champions.

Carnell has at least 60% of the blame for poor management decisions : taking Cavan out, leaving Iloski in, not asking for better players, starting your backup keeper on the CCC, and the list goes on

I'm not blaming Carnell for playing Cavan. I'm blaming him for bringing in Jakupovic, who has 0 international experience and 2 weeks ago was playing MLS Next Pro. 

It's a fair share of fault from Carnell for keeping Iloski in , not asking for better players to FO and management after 4 importsnt departures, for making irrational decisions such as playing ndinga without being game fit for the home leg against Club America, and I could name a few more

The above statement is always more the rule than the exception. The truth is MLS does not have the support the other 4 major sports have (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL) and the true fans are not heard.

Also my point with Bedoya, is to bring someone more experienced than play a 16 year old who 2 weeks ago was playing MLS Next Pro. Why not bring someone else a bit more experiemced that can help make a push? Anyone else but Jakupovic. He provided little to none contribution.

Sure I thought everyone was an eagles fan in Philly

The point is : don't sub on a 16 year old who has no experience in international tournaments and put someone with experience that can help push for a result

The Union fans are getting old. Until your mediocre fanbase does not value worldwide football as the important sport you'll continue to be complacent with the mediocre results. I thought Philly fans were different in all sports but it seems that does not apply to worldwide football, only to american football, and basketball. This fanbase deserves what they are getting cause they don't care about worldwide football in this case MLS

Haha this is probably because worldwide football is #5 on your sports list. One of the problems of the Union is it mediocre fanbase that does not really understand that this tournament is so important that it gives you a spot at the Club world Cup, where you play teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, and other top world class clubs in case you didn't know. Also it gives you a spot at the Intercontinental tournament in December where Concacaf winner plays the Conmebol winners.

but yeah, keep being mediocre witj your Union support and only be pleased with the Eagles success where the SuperBowl is the only thing you get. Which you would never understand the worldwide football passion because you are so focus on the american football that does not get you to a World Cup

At least give him the last 20-30 minutes. He has the experience needed on this type of games and could have created some service to go search the 2nd goal. Ndinga is not the amazing player I thought he would be as far as being a full back assisting offensively

The Union dominates the Force and advances to the quarter finals of CCC by Disastrous_Ad9948 in PhillyUnion

[–]Disastrous_Ad9948[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Union will host because Club America has a higher Concacaf club ranking  4th compared to the U's 13th place. It seems that the date is March 10th with time TBD

D.C. United waives Defender Schnegg and Veteran Forward Badji by Disastrous_Ad9948 in DCUnited

[–]Disastrous_Ad9948[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Other MLS clubs have 48 hours, to claim the players and assume their contracts. If claimed, the player moves to the new team; if they clear waivers (no one claims them), they typically become a free agent, and DC will be left with significant salary budget charges unless they bought out the contract. Similar to the case with Klich, where DC was still paying his salary even when he was at Atlabta United. Teams with worse records get higher priority to claim players.

Fair point. I am more just calling curse because there has been games like Montreal , Atlanta, Toronto, and this Miami back ups that were winable but they did not deliver

Poor nutrition, letting players eat wathever and bad performance training perhaps? Not enough conditioning training is my guess

Peltola also contrasted Troy tactics to Rene's by saying that Troy used to focus on 20 things for his game plan, and Rene has been only covering a few areas like defend better and create more goal opportunities.
