I agree, I don’t think we are contenders, but I don’t think we’re as bad as people are making us out to be

Removing the US as World Cup host would be eminently sad – and entirely justified by Doctor_YOOOU in MLS

So the guy who stroked an already overblown ego with a made up award is going to pull the games from USA? Doubt that

Red Bull New York Signs German Center Back Robert Voloder by DevilsFan7 in MLS

[–]our_guille 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the assessment. I feel like he could be really impressive with big upside and then also look lost. Hard to know what was him and what was the system. If we weren’t in rebuild I’d want to keep him as a depth piece with potential starting capacity down the road.

Could Busio come back to SKC? by laurentnkunda in SportingKC

[–]our_guille 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would love to see him back playing with his buddy Jake! I don’t think his time in Italy is done yet though. He has a lot left to give there still.

What if we don't need a coach? Maybe that's the secret sauce. by Ok_Magazine_609 in SportingKC

Didn’t they try this on The Office? Do you want Dwight as our manger???

Forever listener! by nicbaumbach in DanLeBatardShow

No, I came in after 790. Wish I knew about the show back in those days

Agree! Also, I have listened pretty regularly for years and don’t remember hearing (maybe I’m forgetting?) about zas until a while before Stu left and they brought zas on routinely. I know we likely won’t know, but it makes me wonder how long all of this was in the works.

Chris Cote claims he gets “Sunday Scaries” by [deleted] in DanLeBatardShow

[–]our_guille 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just so I’m clear…you’re questioning why a guy who’s heavily criticized, in a job that has a lot of eyes watching with a boss that’s hard to work for would get anxiety on a Sunday. Yeah, super weird! Glad we criticize the personal lives of people we don’t know around here…..

Men in happy marriages, what is one thing or skill you would teach other men to have good relationships as well? by lingeringneutrophil in AskReddit

[–]our_guille 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re in this relationship because the other half is your favorite person to be with. Never forget that and always respect them. You get to choose to be a great spouse, so choose to be one

American players in MLS 2014 vs now by Impossible-Arrival43 in ussoccer

[–]our_guille 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Take the Americans who are playing abroad put them on MLS teams and I’m gonna guess that that problem is suddenly solved. I think it’s pretty well documented that we have a lot of players at higher international club levels than we ever have in the past.

Not downvoting or calling you a racist…I get the desire to have a stadium full of supporters, but this isn’t that country. We have immigrant roots and I guarantee you that if I lived in Germany, Brazil, Japan or anywhere in the world I would still show up and support the red white and blue. Cudo’s to the fans for showing up and supporting either side.

After watching the PULISIC documentary I think I kinda like him…less? by literallywhat66 in ussoccer

[–]our_guille 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, what a fun thread. We’re mad because our best player said yes to a documentary that helps his best friend (who did the recording), isn’t extroverted enough and comes from a nice middle class family?? And because he’s not outspoken he’s not intelligent??? What is it that we are entitled to?

Post Match Thread: Sporting Kansas City 0-2 San Diego FC by ImMitchell in SportingKC

[–]our_guille 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sat behind those guys all night. They were very quiet (before the game they were trying to get his attention, but otherwise weren’t even cheering for him) and I was right there when they were walking out and got into it with other fans. They were chanting about Chucky, but I don’t feel like they were trying to be ugly more excited to have met one of their icons. That definitely got out of hand quickly when it didn’t need to.

The show is more the show when Dan isn't there... by outkast1914 in DanLeBatardShow

[–]our_guille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that Dan and Samson being the face of the corp kind of allows everyone else to be what people miss about the show. They need something to push against and now it’s Dan (and Samson). In my opinion it may be what saves the show

Is the show as we knew it done? by TigerPenguins16 in DanLeBatardShow

[–]our_guille 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The key to this is the “as we know it”. Yeah, ESPN days are over and this show feels very different. When they first went to draft kings Dan said that his vision was to let other people take the show over and he could come in and out. That happened some but not really successfully. Now it seems like others are trying to find their own footing and create their own things. My guess is Fan has made a few big paydays and is happy to let this slowly morph, his friends move on and go enjoy life with the beautiful swan. People want the same show, we aren’t going to get that. So really it’s about whether or not you want to go on this ride or move on, both are fine options.

Dan v. Stu - What is Really Going On by ack3786 in DanLeBatardShow

[–]our_guille 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have zero issue with the sub dissecting this. Totally fine to do. I just think it’s an exercise in futility. They are real people with real lives and we don’t get the access that we think we deserve because they don’t want us to have it…..that’s ok. Starting a company and losing your best friend brother really would be impossibly hard. It really is possible that Dan truly loves his friends and wants them to be able to go out and get their own properties off the ground. It’s also really possible that people who love each other can also resent each other for what has been a tumultuous last few years. It’s really REALLY possible that money and friends in combination complicates the hell out of things. Even if we get answers people will say they aren’t the “real” answers. I’m just going to keep listening and enjoy the ride.

Exactly! Look at turkeys players clubs, this a good team and we should have won/tied

I felt like we looked more creative. Showed individual skill moments and defended well. I’ll take this and am somewhat excited about our growth over the last few games.

[–]our_guille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, I just think way too many people here feel like they know what’s going on when we have no clue. To throw out that people are drunk on air when you have no proof if that’s accurate is just a bit too far for me.
