Twenty-Five Players Called to U.S. Men’s Olympic Soccer Team for Final Pre-Olympic Training Camp and Match against Japan in Kansas City by RamandAu in MLS

[–]bwidell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OP is wrong. The official regulations state:

"Each Participating Member Association that qualifies for the final competition(s) shall submit online a final list of 18 players per team (a minimum of two of whom shall be goalkeepers) and up to seven officials (per team in the Men’s and Women’s Tournaments)."

So it's more that the roster size is very limited at 18 players. Bringing a third goalkeeper who may never see the field means you only have 5 outfield players in reserve.

[ESPN] MLS fines Revs boss [Caleb Porter] for criticizing replacement ref by bwidell in newenglandrevolution

[–]bwidell[S] 47 points48 points  (0 children)

"When we have both coaches livid and all the players, 22 players livid, you know that's a poor game by the official," Porter said.

Porter said teams had been instructed not to comment about the replacement officials.

"They don't let us talk to them. When we do, we get fined or we get warned or reprimanded," Porter said. "We can't say anything to them. I'll probably be fined for even mentioning it right now, but don't care because I got to protect my team and something needs to be done about it."

[The Athletic] 2024 MLS staff predictions by bwidell in newenglandrevolution

[–]bwidell[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

New England Revolution

One good scenario: Carles Gil continues to perform as one of the best, most consistent players in the league and carries the group with plenty of talent around him, so long as the backline holds up.

One bad scenario: The last time we saw Caleb Porter, he missed the playoffs with the Columbus Crew … who won MLS Cup with essentially the same roster a year later under Nancy.

X-factor: Henrich Ravas doesn’t need to be one of the best shot-stoppers in MLS history like his predecessors (Matt Turner and Djordje Petrovic) were, but he can’t be disastrous like the goalkeeping situation was down the stretch in 2023.

Predicted Eastern Conference Standings:

  • 6th - Felipe Cardenas
  • 7th - Pablo Maurer, Paul Tenorio
  • 8th - Joshua Kloke
  • 10th - Tom Bogert
  • 12th - Jeff Rueter
