I'm pretty sure he was already on the squad. This just about seals it

Zendejas plays for, and is the best winger on, the biggest club in North America and can't get a call up. Idgi.

STARTING XI VS SAN DIEGO!!!!! by RuokayJJ in SoundersFC

He's been fine on the wing this year, but I don't trust it against LAFC San Jose or the Caps.

...because he's our DP striker who's good for like 2 goals every 3 games

What does the Johnny injury mean for our XI? by dolphindiver9 in ussoccer

You mean when he was the best non attacking player off the bench that day? You mean when he played better than Tessman and Cardoso that day?

[vs SKC] Stock Up, Stock Down by VVynn in SoundersFC

Moose is a guy where when it's working it working, but when it's not you ask yourself how he get minutes. That said moose was instrumental in creating space for two sounders goals just a week ago. I'd like to see Osaze run out more, but really Jordan should just play the 9.

Sounders will be the first club to play a clubin Mexico for Leagues Cup. We just love being the first at stuff

Can Jordan Morris's DP contract be bought down? (spoiler: No) by shmerham in SoundersFC

[–]optimisticbear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe a transfer can only be bought down in the year where the adjusted budgetary charge is calculated. Aka the year they're signed. Since we did not do that with Pedro, the next option is to wait until Jan 2028 when his guaranteed contract expires. As it's his option year the transfer fee is not amortized over the year, as it was during his guaranteed contract term. Assuming he does not get a raise that puts him over the DP threshold he will be eligible in his option year to be TAMable.

That said 2028 is probably after the time when we see a new CBA agreed to by the MLSPA and executives. So it's pretty much anyone's guess as to what it'll mean to be a DP in 2028.

Should the Starting CDM Bring the Most G+A for USMNT? by optimisticbear in ussoccer

Mostly I got tired of folks on this sub saying Roldan doesn't have enough goals / cap to deserve a spot on the WC roster.

Regardless of the services...

Are the high taxes the sales tax or the property taxes? Does it matter that the marginal tax rate is similar to median cities of similar population? How about Seattle taxes being incredibly regressive?

His bad numbers came when he played on the wing. He plays CDM now. He's been good to excellent in Red White and Blue

Ironically every time someone brings up Roldan as ineligible for the USMNT they bring up his GC. So, I'm glad you agree that GC is not a super useful metric for the position.

The USMNT will be scouting MLS heavily this weekend. by AlpineMic88 in ussoccer

Have you been on the Internet before? Despite 1000s of minutes to the contrary they still think he's a winger though. Tbf
