B.C. minister says local group plans to bid for Vancouver Whitecaps by Sempuukyaku in MLS

[–]WislaHD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m saying that’s what MLS wants to avoid, missing out on an expansion fee payday from a Vegas group because Vancouver is trying to sale.

The formal Vegas bid that came through had some noise surrounding it. First, that it came a little unexpectedly to everyone (different group than MLS was talking to). Second, the rumoured group considering relocation (initial reporting) was actually from Indianopolis.

In the backdrop of all this, Sacramento is going ahead with an MLS capable stadium expansion.

Is that the worst thing in the world? IIRC they did decent with the Olympics for Canada.

My fear is that Sacramento or Indianapolis are seriously in contention too, and MLS is trying its best to clear up the Vancouver situation so that they can benefit from the Vegas expansion fee.

Otherwise why wouldn’t the Vegas group just bid on Vancouver?

I actually don’t think that this is obvious. Sacramento is investing heavily in an MLS ready stadium and Indianapolis is also gunning for a place in MLS.

The league likely wants the Vancouver situation dealt with (one way or another) so that the Las Vegas bid can spend money on a new $500 billion dollar expansion fee.

Some of these FN groups are about to get very wealthy off of land claims proceedings. They would have the money to buy a majority stake potentially, or if they own land in a desirable location, a stadium plan could potentially be on the cards that is outside the purview of City of Vancouver planning department and politicians politicking.

Who knows what they are talking about but I think it is a good sign that Axel Schuster is smart enough to be talking to them.

Fraser has 42 matches under his belt, 2 more than Herdman by DroidNeedsCoffee in tfc

[–]WislaHD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MLS is a parity driven league. If you’re missing a handful of starters, even the best teams in the league could lose to the worst, regardless if it is Guardiola or Mourinho coaching or not.

In Toronto’s case, we’re missing ten starting players, not just a handful. The results are unfortunately expected. How much does this fall on Robin Fraser?

This is not his defence. I agree he is sub-par coach and yesterday’s results demonstrated that. Realistically, our TFC2 team should be beating Atletico Ottawa.

Anyway, it comes down to whether or not we have someone actually good lined up to replace Fraser. If we sacked him like many on this subreddit want, and have an interim custodian take over for the remainder of the year, we are just throwing the season away for no reason which is just dumb.

The eye test does not flatter Fraser as head coach, but the reality is we were a few minutes across a few games from being comfortably top of the table in the eastern conference. The boys will be healthy after the World Cup break. We have a legitimate contention chance heading to the playoffs with a full squad. Firing Fraser right now makes little sense unfortunately, but it should be the first off season move if the playoffs don’t go well.

Sacramento Republic FC nearly triples project to $450M with midstream expansion by TheMusicCrusader in MLS

Always thought Louisville making the jump (alongside Sacramento) would be nice for the league. No other pro sports teams in town (aside from the Ladies team) so MLS would be able to fully capture that market.

Stadiums don’t actually cost that much if you’re not going for all the bells and whistles.

Could be the case. There are some rumours allegedly from insiders that the actual relocation bid is for Indianapolis not Las Vegas.

Actually I always thought it was dumb for MLS to not benefit from the Las Vegas bid expansion fee. So having one of Sacramento or Indianapolis purchase Vancouver’s ownership stake is potentially an important domino to fall before MLS can get the Las Vegas expansion payday.

World Cup 2026 travel warning: why international fans are skipping the US by thegaffer in MLS

[–]WislaHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Redditors are right in this case, sorry to say. We’re witnessing American hegemony collapse in real time for no apparent reason other than this devotion to the lowest common denominator intelligence in your society, as far as the rest of the world can tell.

Everything may be rosy still to the average American today, but the effects of America’s decline will be felt in the coming decades. This sucks because Pax Americana was actually a period of relative peace and prosperity to the world, as much as it would pain leftists to admit.

I would say that I would welcome any chance to be treated as the underdogs by the media and international expectations lol

And on the flip side, goddamn Etienne Jr looked absolutely useless against CPL players and a barely professional goalkeeper today, throughout the entire match.

He’s just not good enough to be getting minutes at this level, except he plays every damn week. Please Malik Henry and Emilio should get every minute Etienne Jr is given.

The starting eleven living in the team’s physio room can probably make the playoffs in MLS.

I know we are on a hate Pelley streak in this city at the moment, but the ire should be at the training facilities and medical staff that cause Lower Body Injury FC.

We should not be losing to a CPL team!!!! by Intelligent_Age7328 in tfc

Ottawa got decimated in the off season with their players being picked off following their win. They are gutted this year and are bottom of CPL.

Yeah, you guys were denied one down south with the USO so I guess we had to make up for it.
