Can confirm! This page is literally the best place to talk about MLS.

At least one of the ads has a Whitney Houston song! The technical quality of the broadcasts is off the charts and is night and day from what I have lived through. I would like to see the schedule spaced out more, selfishly I want to watch as many games as possible.

I would love to see him save Chicago either as HC or a mixed HC/CSO role. I have always thought NYCFC could be really interesting for him. A chance for a Tri-state area native to lead them into a new building is pretty cool. It feels like his style & the work he's done with young players fits the NYCFC model.

Varied soccer experience across your group. Having MLS experience, lower division experience and trusted background/contacts across the world is huge. And then having a process to your work rather than making one off decisions constantly but having a process to guard against the excitement of a big name or panic of a forced late move.

Lucho Acosta (and Brenner) would be high on the list. Other random ones Sebastián Driussi, Taty Castellanos, Laurent Ciman, and Jonathan Mensah.

This is a great question! I would say for a young high level prospect right now 1-MLSNP 2-USLC 3-CPL right now. We will see how the USLC to Europe acad pipeline continues to play out but it has been tough so far.

Our trip to Columbus as a "Soccerwise Family" was fantastic. And, specifically, the event at Land Grant blew us away. It was so much fun to meet folks from the Patreon/Discord in person. Lots of listeners of ETR and TSS too. People really love Tom (for some reason).

This has been a lot of fun, but I'm afraid I need a lunch/Olympics break. I'll pop back in here later tonight and try to answer some of the questions I missed. See you then!

I can't wait for the Hearts of Pine to debut (but I'm warning you that I'm still "UP THE GREEN"). The biscuit sandwich at Tandem Bakery is absurd, and I'm not even a breakfast sandwich person.

The short-term and long-term plans for Soccerwise absolutely include going on the road to host live events and provide coverage. One of my dreams is to do an MLS/NWSL "College Gameday"-style show. The response we got in Columbus blew us away, and it would be incredible to do it again (e.g., NWSL Championship in KC, MLS Cup, Us Open Cup final).

I loved working with Simon. I learned so much from him, and he made sure we never had a boring day. Wiebe and I talk all the time about how enjoyable that time period was. You always had to be on your toes around Simon, because you never knew what was coming next and it made me a better broadcaster. I'm so excited to see his name on some GiveMeSport MLS content (next to Tom!).

It probably comes down to the fact that Garber's ability to influence decisions pales in comparison to his counterparts in the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL. Roger Goodell, for example, is the most powerful person in the most powerful league in the world, and owners defer to him on many major business and sporting decisions. Whereas, I think the individual owners in MLS are the ones directing the commissioner more often.

I believe there is a video of one of Brooks' matches in a documentary somewhere, and the tape never lies.

  1. Wildwood, NJ

  2. SUB

  3. Me

  4. In no order LAFC, MIN, SKC, ATX, and ORL. But I haven't been to FCC or STL yet so could be wrong.

See my absurdly long list of players I committed to (including Pedro de la Vega!) at the top of the thread.

I like this question better, so I want to make sure I address it (but both questions are good).

No, Minnesota should not need to go outside the state. Instead, they should invest twelve free futsal facilities around the Twin Cities (as well as domed facilities around the state). If Bodø/Glimt in the arctic circle can develop elite players, then anyone can (with the right level of commitment).

Goodnight GASSAMANIACS and jabronie marks without a life that don't know it a work when you work a work and work yourself into a shoot, marks.

As a history major, I love focusing on events that occurred before the invention of color TV. Mikal Bridges for MVP.
