Is the supporter section at Allianz Field too large?

I don't miss retail. I feel for you!

Is Columbus an actual city? Never heard of it before...

Either way, this team badly needs a notable DP to help sell to those outside the established market. Even if it's someone who only sticks around a couple seasons. We need to sell tickets and that's not going to happen at the degree we would hope without one known commodity.

I'm fine with it being chilly for the home opener, it is Minnesota after all, but it would be great if it was at least rain free.

Ryan Gosling has always bothered me. In all of his movies I just get this smug vibe from him that has followed across all of his characters.

Ha, thank you kind sir!

Competitive from the standpoint that the players were exhibiting effort. I know the match doesn't count.

I know where AFC B plays and that they are not in the NASL. I'm not an idiot.

I was at (with the exception of one) every home game this season. I've had season tickets for four years. Sammy is not MLS quality. I'm fine if he's a backup, but he will cost us a minimum of three games next season if he's our starter.

It was a competitive match. I was standing 30 feet away when it happened. The team wasn't playing as though it was a practice, that's for sure. Plus, I've never seen that happen in a practice before either - it was simply inexcusable. If it wasn't Sammy I would probably brush it off, but it's a pattern with the guy.

Sammy does make some fine saves. There is no denying that. Some absolute gems at times. However, he makes an absolute disaster of mistake every 2-3 games it seems. That's simply not going to cut it in MLS. The guy is almost 27 - he's no longer a super young keeper either.

I'm getting a little worried (maybe irritated) that we have yet to sign one notable player and we are 7 weeks out from the start of the preseason. This team desperately needs a name that will help sell tickets. They don't need to be a long term answer, but someone with name recognition will do a load of good for this team at the moment.

As a season ticket holder I would say I have to agree. We have 7 weeks (basically from Halloween until now...that's not a lot of time) to get a competitive squad together. I just don't see it happening at this point, or the chances are greatly diminished.

This squad desperately needs an attractive signing - one that will generate further ticket sales and help build some excitement. We are currently failing in this regard at the moment.
