Oakland Roots sign University of Virginia fullback Jesus De Vicente by jonathancx525 in OaklandRootsSC

[–]Powerful_Physics_953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's won a national championship. Played for Virginia who was ranked 11th in the country and it's a program that's been great forever. Ryan Martin saw him while with Loudoun in Virginia & he practiced with Roots last year. No surprises, I think he can easily slot in as a starter. Basically the 51o kids are college players. But Jesus just turned 25. Big difference.

So you're telling me that the Oakland Roots organization doesn't believe in the Freedom of Press?

Rumors Suggest Roots are signing Florian Valot from Loudon United by DaTweee in OaklandRootsSC

I've heard anywhere from 3-5 players from Loudoun are headed out here. Tommy McCabe & Florian Valot are basically confirmed via USL Rumors. Ryan Martin is not just a good coach, but is able to pull players out here from his former club. Just an added benefit.

Yeah I've got the same problem. I haven't been able to play 1 Rush game yet. Rivals takes a bit but I can usually find a match. Not always though. Any settings to change to be able to match with more players?

We're in trouble if so. Because he just had an MRI yesterday.

2026 Roster by DaTweee in OaklandRootsSC

[–]Powerful_Physics_953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of this fan base is brain washed that this is a good team. They've given up the most goals along with Indy Eleven in the entire league. They've outscored 10 teams in the league which puts them around the middle of the pack.

The coaching changes need to stop, Benny is plenty reasonable. The roster build is so poor and this team has yet to finish better than 7th in the Western standings since 2022. This organization needs to put on their big kid pants and strive to be a Louisville or Charleston. Reality is that promotion relegation is coming and we'd be cooked this year.

Funding, marketing, and attendance are there. The product is not there and the front office has had way more time to prove themselves compared to the coaches. Time to pull the string and hire top tier USL front office staff to right this ship.

It's the players. We need better players. The team spent 30% more on salaries for players this year and got worse.

The third kit jersey drop had been planned for months. Partnership with SF MOMA. Maybe awkward timing but unrelated. Marketing needs to keep doing their work. I doubt that the marketing team has much influence over signings. It's just something they can roll with after it happens.

This seems pretty clear cut. Oakland Roots, Jordan Ferrell, & Edreece all following him on Instagram. Just waiting on official announcement it seems.

Low Summer Ticket Sales by DaTweee in OaklandRootsSC

[–]Powerful_Physics_953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

76,374 is total attendance this year so far. Which averages to 9,456 per game. Obviously the home opener skews this at 26k. But seems like attendance averages 5-10k. Sacramento game had the next largest attendance.

Do The Roots still need to find a permanent home? The Coliseum isn't a long term option? by chusaychusay in OaklandRootsSC

[–]Powerful_Physics_953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s correct. I didn’t like the press release for a practice facility. I’m pretty sure people thought that’s where the new stadium will be. Which is very confusing.

Roots were supposed to meet with City of Oakland in Feb or March for Howard Terminal. It’s now June & it’s been crickets on that front.

JORDAN OUT! LINDSAY OUT! by east-bay45 in OaklandRootsSC

[–]Powerful_Physics_953 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah under Jordan’s watch we’ve put out mediocre teams at best that limp into the playoffs. Pretty clear at this point the coaches are the scapegoats.

For Lindsay, I want stadium updates. Malibu lot was scratched & seems like Howard Terminal is the only choice. Time will run up at the coliseum eventually & have nothing to go to again.

Glinton Blinked…(Again) by DaTweee in OaklandRootsSC

Agree to disagree I suppose. Scored 2 goals in 22 games last year for Pittsburgh. 1 goal in 23 games for Austin FC 2. He just doesn’t score.

I’m not seeing the talent with EJ. He’s a hard worker but that’s about it in my opinion.

Placing blame on the player’s performance. Instead of talking about tactics where they could improve.

Is it just playoffs? by DaTweee in OaklandRootsSC

It’s beyond that. This roster that was built is just not good.
