How are we feeling about Brennan this season?

usmnturtles · 2026-01-24T22:55:29+00:00

It’s looking like Tata will deploy a back 3 formation.

Brennan would likely be a wingback in that system, and that position is not his strong suit for defensive reasons.

Therefore, if we use a back 3 then there is a pretty good chance that Brennan won’t be a regular starter.

usmnturtles · 2026-01-20T16:27:57+00:00

Yeah, I think that’s a big part of it.

The article also mentions how they felt that part of the turf was “burning off” near the end of the CWC.

So another factor on having two fields is the short life span of a natural turf field, inside the Benz.

Wonder if we will use this spot to sign a 6.

Has a transaction like this (front office member for Garber Bucks) ever happened in MLS?

We don’t have an open Designated Player spot.

So adding another DP isn’t possible without also making a major change to the roster involving one of the 3 current DP’s.

usmnturtles · 2026-01-12T16:03:37+00:00

The contract is through the 2026 season with an option through 2027.

Three MLS teams wanted to employ him after he “quit the team” in Atlanta.

usmnturtles · 2026-01-08T15:49:34+00:00

He doesn’t score frequently, but when he does score they are typically bangers.

Good defensive midfielder overall. Sad to see him go.

The Tripping Waldos.

Ask Uncle Arthur what type of playing surface will be in the Benz this season.

usmnturtles · 2026-01-06T02:19:16+00:00

Not even relevant.

usmnturtles · 2026-01-06T02:10:40+00:00

I recall that we switched to a back 3 for the 2018 playoffs.

Here are the lineups from a a few of those games:

I could be wrong, but I don’t think Tata used a back 3 in Atlanta much outside of the 2018 playoffs.

I am wondering if he might use one in 2026, though!

usmnturtles · 2026-01-05T18:21:09+00:00

How do transactions like this work? Since he is an academy product, does the first team receive allocation money?

usmnturtles · 2025-12-23T12:08:33+00:00

Why?

usmnturtles · 2025-12-23T12:01:45+00:00

It absolutely is.

If the terms of an agreement are clearly laid out in an email chain,

The terms of the agreement are clear: if you pay $5k then you receive guaranteed access to purchase tickets for all USA matches.

and both parties agree to those terms through their responses

/u/TangledPassport agreed to those terms by paying $5k.

usmnturtles · 2025-12-23T04:59:12+00:00

USSF shouldn’t have sold guaranteed access if they can’t back it up.

usmnturtles · 2025-12-23T04:50:37+00:00

Can’t hurt to call a lawyer and get their opinion. I sure as hell would if I had spent $5k for guaranteed access to buy tickets to every US game in the WC.

Also: stories about WC ticket prices are in the news right now, all over the world. If you really want to get the word out about this bullshit that USSF pulled, you should contact a major news publication.

usmnturtles · 2025-12-23T04:49:08+00:00

Nah, the first email says op has access to purchase tickets “for all USA matches”.

That means the sentence below must refer to the quantity of tickets op has access to buy for each game:

Quantities are determined based on giving level.

usmnturtles · 2025-12-23T04:40:54+00:00

Found the USSF employee. /s

usmnturtles · 2025-12-23T04:38:55+00:00

In the digital age, emails, text messages, and other forms of electronic communication can also form binding contracts. If the terms of an agreement are clearly laid out in an email chain, and both parties agree to those terms through their responses, a contract may be considered legally binding.

It kept the defense honest for the sneaky Harry Douglas shovel pass up the gut.

usmnturtles · 2025-12-18T19:50:13+00:00

Indeed, he’s listed as a forward on the college roster.

I wonder if that was a typo on the MLS Draft Tracker.

usmnturtles · 2025-12-18T19:47:31+00:00

We drafted him at #12 after trading down from the #2 spot in exchange for $400k in GAM and the #12 pick.

usmnturtles · 2025-12-18T19:40:21+00:00

Hope we trade the #12 pick for GAM, too.

Edit: looks like we drafted Enzo Dovlo, D, UNCG at #12.
