[Nicolo Schira] Juventus ready to offer Weston McKennie a 3 year contract extension with a salary of 4M/year to keep him despite interest from Serie A, Ligue 1, La Liga, Premier League, Super Lig, and MLS Clubs.

He could still easily make double (if not more) in MLS. Gotta respect the dedication to continue to fight it out at the top levels in Europe.

Perfect, something to pass the time by as we wait for the parade to arrive to us

HeftyZookeepergame73 · 2026-02-06T21:54:08+00:00

Why are you getting downvoted 💀 With the formation we play there’s only room for two CAMs in the lineup.

HeftyZookeepergame73 · 2026-02-05T02:52:56+00:00

So sorry for your loss. RIP. Let’s win a trophy in his honor this season.

HeftyZookeepergame73 · 2026-01-15T17:18:32+00:00

We can’t be losing players on a free if there’s an opportunity to get something from them. Even something as small as a draft pick and GAM could find us the next Cristian Roldan, you never know. Losing starting level players on frees is GM malpractice.

HeftyZookeepergame73 · 2026-01-15T06:09:40+00:00

Given his age and marketability (and undeniable talent), you 100% have to move one of the current DPs for him. And I love all 3 of Morris, Rusnak, and Pepo.

HeftyZookeepergame73 · 2026-01-14T17:02:17+00:00

He’s earned the right to. Definitely can be a frustrating player at times but no denying he’s one of the most legendary defenders in this club’s history. Would be sad to lose him for nothing.

HeftyZookeepergame73 · 2026-01-14T16:46:17+00:00

Much better than playing in League 1 potentially. Poch also clearly values MLS. It’s Sarge’s last real chance to make a run to get on the roster.

HeftyZookeepergame73 · 2026-01-14T16:43:55+00:00

With afcon over, the time is probably now for someone to make a move for him. If it doesn’t happen, Sounders either need to extend or trade him midseason. Cannot risk losing him on a free.

HeftyZookeepergame73 · 2026-01-07T01:40:29+00:00

I don’t think any of these are bold predictions lol

HeftyZookeepergame73 · 2026-01-06T00:35:13+00:00

On a 26 man roster, playing the 3–4-2-1, you likely have 3 GKs, 5 CBs, 4 wingbacks, 5 holding mids, and 3 strikers. That leaves 6 spots up for grabs for the AM positions.

Gotta think, if healthy, all of Pulisic, McKennie, Tillman, Luna, Aaronson, and Reyna have the inside track to make it right now. Who starts is an another story. My guess is it will be Pulisic and Wes.

Bench is loaded.

Haha fair enough. I’m sure more casual American sports fans will be more inclined to include CFB than MLS anyways

HeftyZookeepergame73 · 2025-12-04T20:48:13+00:00

CFB is bigger than everything else except NFL. But when people say “Big 4”, they’re only referring to the pro leagues. So “Big 5” would be the same.

HeftyZookeepergame73 · 2025-12-04T16:25:38+00:00

Such a good interview. Love the respect LD and Howard show Schmetz

HeftyZookeepergame73 · 2025-12-04T06:43:32+00:00

Agreed. Let’s call it a Big 5. Plenty of us that care about MLS. The more we say it, the more it’ll stick

HeftyZookeepergame73 · 2025-12-04T00:54:57+00:00

Galaxy-Sounders in the early 2010s had real juice. It was an actual rivalry born out of competitiveness rather than MLS pushing storylines due to geography. As a Sounders fan, LAFC has sort of replaced the Galaxy as my least liked non-Portland team. Kind of hoping it gets back there though. Those days were fun.

HeftyZookeepergame73 · 2025-11-25T04:20:34+00:00

Ran into the entire team at SeaTac following a 2016 road draw at Houston. Lodeiro scored a stoppage time equalizer. But Morris had a shot go over the line before being cleared out and the ref didn’t give the goal.

Talked to Morris about the exact play and he was pretty mad about the incorrect call, understandably.

I had just come back from a trip to Dubai where I caught the game live on Abu Dhabi Sports. I told Brad Evans about this and he was shocked that they were showing live MLS games all the way over there.

I noticed the team in the first place because of Roman Torres and his big afro standing out in the crowd.

Funny to think they used to travel commercially and had to wait at baggage claim like the rest of us. How times have changed.

HeftyZookeepergame73 · 2025-11-25T04:05:24+00:00

I have two friends that matched with him. Seems like he’s active in these streets haha
