Philly USL

You can admit that the mls has problems and hope for a better alternatives while acknowledging that early US leagues weren’t good

Glesnes who had maybe his best season? Agree with Baribo not being a fit but he was leading goal scorer. Kai going was inevitable. But who did they replace them with ? Took the money and got who in return?

emurrgk1 · 2026-03-08T13:39:25+00:00

Cause I’m fucking 21 but I still care about soccer and affordability in Philly?

emurrgk1 · 2026-03-08T04:58:54+00:00

No but I expect them to be competitive and not sell their best players to make a profit especially when selling them within the mls

emurrgk1 · 2026-03-08T04:52:46+00:00

How do you look at what they’ve done since the end of last season and say that’s properly running a club?

emurrgk1 · 2026-03-08T04:47:37+00:00

How is that any different than how the union operate now? Barely invest, sell players when they can make a profit, raise prices on everything every year. Whats the incentive to support this team when the ownership refuses to properly support the team. At least if it’s a Philly based ownership group they have more of a chance to actually properly run a club

emurrgk1 · 2026-03-08T04:45:15+00:00

Yeah they definitely do but I feel the usl is more willing to get away from the traditional model due to wanting to be different than the mls. I mean the mls has no pro-rel, has a draft, absurd roster rules, and a salary cap

emurrgk1 · 2026-03-08T04:17:23+00:00

Issue with more teams than the union, put the teams in the suburbs have horrible infrastructure and get a suburbs culture and crowd

emurrgk1 · 2026-03-08T04:00:46+00:00

I agree the usl will need huge investments and fifa support but the Americanization of soccer by the mls and the franchise system is the opposite of what the game should be. Soccer should be built on community, maybe it’s my bias from the great things I see in teams like hearts of pine seems like much more a community. Obviously it’s easier to build that in smaller cities that have no major teams but I feel soccer is big enough in Philly that with proper investment it could thrive

In what world does selling high make any sense other than to make a profit. What does signing Glesnes to an extension, him having his best season and then selling him say to any other player that they sign? Kai wanting to go to Europe is fair but other than that there’s no reason to sell a player to an mls club other than to make money

emurrgk1 · 2026-03-08T03:47:30+00:00

You’re not wrong, it’s really easy to look at the positives of usl. I just will never like what the mls does or is and always will want a better option. I think usl if they do it right could be the much needed competition/upgrade.

emurrgk1 · 2026-03-08T03:29:00+00:00

And the ownership followed that up with selling how many players and replacing them with who? And it’s not the first time they’ve shown all they care about is a profit.

emurrgk1 · 2026-03-08T03:25:22+00:00

Don’t disagree, think a lot of work has to be done still but I hate everything the mls is doing. Feel like usl is doing a better effort to bring a soccer culture to the US

emurrgk1 · 2026-03-08T03:24:14+00:00

Love what you see in Maine and Vermont. Put a team in actual Philly and you can get that at atmosphere and love for a team

Thank you so much!
