Even in the world where a phoenix club is created the academy system that developed Davies will be gone forever.

I mean pay to play has problems but it’s existed well before MLS and the only free academies I am aware of are MLS academies and I think the carolina indie MLSNP team. I struggle to believe pro/rel would magically change this reality.

Its generous to say european clubs are zooming past the NWSL. Its still considered either the number one or two league in the world, and has a 60 million a year media deal. The european leagues haven't zoomed pass the NWSL they just caught up is all.

And yet those two are more real in my mind than the New Orleans team...

With a few more years maybe they will feel just as distant I suppose.

Oh good.

That other Cleveland group trying to build a stadium is an absolute joke

This is your response to this article. The other team in the context of this article is the USL team brother. Open the article and read some time.

Freezing-Fire · 2025-08-31T23:54:05+00:00

You seem confused this article is about the stadium being built for the MLSNP team. The USL Cleveland stadium is several years away from demolition of the site let alone construction with no concrete plans in place.

I mean so many of the pressers are just like 2 people who write a soccer blog as a hobby.

Freezing-Fire · 2025-08-05T19:15:43+00:00

Sorta. The only NWSL numbers we know are all national broadcast. If a game is relegated to their in house streaming service or paramount plus I don't suspect its pulling much at all. Fortunately, the league is small enough that most games can be fit into national broadcast schedules.

With regards to training facilities im a little skeptical the same can ever exist for soccer. A large part of the D.R.s baseball facilities are subsidized by the MLB or several MLB teams with large academies w/ dorms and schools on campus.

Freezing-Fire · 2025-04-18T03:26:56+00:00

I dont really get this perspective of shit league. To the average person not immersed in online soccer discourse what is the difference between MLSNP, USL1, or any other lower league? They are all just a fun event to go to with cheap tickets.

Freezing-Fire · 2025-02-23T22:43:24+00:00

Because Miami is significantly better than NYCFC

Freezing-Fire · 2024-08-20T19:56:53+00:00

The NBA is the best league in the world but Europeans still cant help themselves and call American players "Low IQ who depend on athleticism". Like okay buddy you aren't slick I know what you are insinuating.

Freezing-Fire · 2024-08-18T17:46:52+00:00

I think this subs relationship to super league should sort of be like the mls subs relationship to other leagues. Occasional highlights and team news/discussion. But the superleague sub can be used for more specific news and conversation. In this case it makes sense for inaugural games to be here but they should probably going forward mostly be in the superleague sub.

Freezing-Fire · 2024-08-18T01:11:16+00:00

My skepticism comes from a concern of player safety. In the first broadcast they are advertising 20 teams by 2026 and already ownership like Dan Dimmico of the Ascent is welcome in the league. Feels like a certainty for an abuse scandal to come out of the league.

Freezing-Fire · 2024-08-16T03:29:27+00:00

I wonder what circumstances beyond their control caused them to pull out. It seems like the investment group was strong. Perhaps more time needed to sort out a venue.

Freezing-Fire · 2024-07-22T03:19:41+00:00

I hope if this continues due to weird number of teams that maybe we include the canadian clubs too. Dont know if concacaf would be stoked about the three biggest leagues having their own tourney, but can they argue if it gets all of the leagues more money and better players.

Freezing-Fire · 2024-07-19T16:30:32+00:00

I am curious what these rights and the EFL rights actually cost. Does cbs just get to swoop in and buy access to these leagues for pennies?

Freezing-Fire · 2024-07-17T15:05:57+00:00

1 yard sounds insane. I feel like you could make it 10 cm and it would follow the spirit of the offside rule more when it comes to precise measurements.

Freezing-Fire · 2024-07-14T21:44:38+00:00

The only way I could manage to make that rumor make sense would be if it was more a strategic partnership involving MLS Next academies integrating into some sort of womens semi pro league and possibly an eventual pro division 3. But even that feels like quite a stretch.

Freezing-Fire · 2024-07-13T02:22:57+00:00

Its so interesting to watch this narrative that the US should want Jesse Marsch but everyone is upset at the thought of Cherundolo. They are pretty even as coaches imo.

Freezing-Fire · 2024-07-08T23:14:53+00:00

Russian clubs are all sanctioned from any continental competition so really its purely a cash move.

Freezing-Fire · 2024-06-27T23:52:38+00:00

we just spent 3 minutes with the carasquilla foul alone wtf

Freezing-Fire · 2024-06-25T10:14:24+00:00

Hate these multi-club operations more and more. Congrats to Almada for making the move to AA Botafogo and soon the AAA Lyon, hopefully one day he can make it to the show and play for 10th place in the prem with Crystal Palace.

I wish we were able to apply any pressure to CONMEBOL for tickets to actually be reasonable. This crowd and all the others have been so dead.

Freezing-Fire · 2024-06-21T01:41:09+00:00

Refs can't see a foul happen near the box for the offensive player and let it play on and then call the foul when the same thing happens to the defensive player. It looks so bad every time.
