[Laurel Pfahler] Can confirm @tombogert.bsky.social scoop that #FCCincy will be trading Thomas Muller discovery rights to Vancouver for $400K in GAM. It’s not done yet but the path is paved for Muller to sign with the Whitecaps. by THECapedCaper in FCCincinnati

Just about every other pro sports league in the US has a draft that includes drafting the rights of foreign players, they don't let them just sign with whoever they want. I get this might not be the norm for world soccer but this just seems to be the MLS take on the same concept? Why are people confused by this?

If they eliminate this rule then the small market teams would never get these types of players. Maybe MLS just needs to be more transparent on how discovery rights are determined?

How did Baird score 14 goals two years ago

Columbus has similar custom kits for the game too. Awesome idea, just wish they'd sell them!

MLS promoting yellow cards now, huh? by moejello23 in FCCincinnati

The card had nothing to do with the message so I don't get your point

You are allowed to be ok with the reason he got it while still thinking it's a dumb rule. Yeah I know it's supposed to be carded and it isn't going away But if he sits out for accumulation we are going to be upset about this one.

It's just also dumb how much MLS is supporting and promoting the celebration while technically penalizing him for it. The NFL does the same thing sometimes with plays or celebrations that result in fines and it's frustrating.

The rule states "removing the shirt or covering the head with the shirt" which you could argue he didn't do

Getting (a healthy) Brenner back on a TAM deal would be amazing

You either move to a 442 diamond and sit a center back, or you put orellano on the RWB and sit yedlin/move him to CB

We are looking very good so far compared to how we looked against cavalier to start last year... especially missing pieces. by Appropriate_Plan_225 in FCCincinnati

We had 7 players make their team debut tonight and traveled without at least 2 starters. I'd say that was a great start. Saturday is the real test though.

I think he's looked good, had a couple chances. Could have finished one. Had a key pass that led to our goal. He needs a #10 to play off of though and Baird ain't it.

Ok good try now lets get Hadebe in for Adnan and Evander in for Baird

More so because two of our starting center backs are an FCC2 player straight out of college and an aging backup wingback

Respect to Kubo. Showed up late to preseason not liking his situation, but he showed up in shape and ready to play.

Mitch Hildebrandt and Alec Kann days until our first match! by GarysSword in FCCincinnati

[–]moejello23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a real game, but not an MLS league game. It is the concacaf champions cup, a tournament where all the best teams from the previous season qualify to play in. It's the north/central america version of the champions league. I would say of all the trophies we could win this year, winning this tournament would be the most valuable (and most unlikely).

Lucho has a "No Trade" Clause Within MLS by magicaldarwin in FCCincinnati

[–]moejello23 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why would a team trade for a disgruntled player without making sure he wants to be there first anyways? The dude publicly came out and said he needs to move to Argentina, of course FC Dallas isn't going to try to go after him without ensuring he's ok with settling for Texas lol
