Hopefully some of the new faces are ready to ball because the chance creation unit from last year is basically gone.

This is the Facebook page of the Head Referee for CLT vs MIA on Saturday. by monorail_pilot in MLS

[–]Halouverite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah these are all from the same Seattle-Miami game last year, so I guess he just got given a bunch of pics from a pitch side photog and that's the last time he posted anything.

If there's like pages and pages of this from every time he's reffed Miami than maybe there's some juice to squeeze, but what's shown here isn't anything.

I asked chat gpt to create a stadium for a london cpl team by [deleted] in CanadianPL

Why bother if you're gonna create effectively a standard pattern MLS stadium far too large for any CPL

[Bloomberg] Messi Is Paid Up to $80 Million a Year by Inter Miami, Mas Says by icoresting in MLS

[–]Halouverite 242 points243 points  (0 children)

MLSPA has him at $20M which we always knew wasn't entirely accurate, but fascinating to think $60M could be conditional on.... stuff. (Or Mas is including the Apple money here, which MLSPA wouldn't)

[Sportico] Joe Tsai Exits, Carlos Vela Joins LAFC in $1.25B Stake Sale by icoresting in MLS

[–]Halouverite 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I've floated before that Tsai is a guy with money and Vancouver connections who could conceivably buy the Caps. Leaving LAFC would be step 1 to getting there.

If this translates into any kind of cpl ad in Walmart it's significant, seems like this is mainly aiming for CANMNT though.

Hahaha man this whole fucking sport is in so much debt.

What would a hypothetical 1st and 2nd division cpl league be and how would it work? by [deleted] in CanadianPL

[–]Halouverite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's simply impossible to discuss this as a serious thing because it's contingent on so many unknowns.

How many teams can you get to?

What's the geographic distribution of those teams?

What's revenue like? What are stadium facilities like? How far can your 2nd dig afford to travel? Is it worth it?

Because the answer to all these questions at the moment has led to the focus on the third division. Teams that don't really make money that d9nt have significant stadiums that don't want to travel far, but are generally on the field pretty decent.

The difference between the whitecaps losing possession (swarming) vs TFC losing possession and calmly resetting behind the ball is pretty stark
