I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.

32 seems to be a foregone conclusion and 36 isn't out of the question.

Yeah, I think 32 has been an internal goal for years.

36 would be insanity, but they'd, naturally, do it for the right price.

I still say 36 is when pro/rel comes into play.

I think they would split the league into more conferences before pro/rel ever got adopted. Though I think you could do something fun with a pro/rel system made up of just different tiers of MLS.

"The real tragedy happened long before I came along"
So what seems to have happened is that Don Garber met with the Indy mayor and convinced him to back out of the Indy Eleven stadium deal for the chance of maybe getting an MLS expansion. As always, gently caress DON GARBER.

You know how the league has been unnecessarily opaque about how each team's roster is constructed and what their budgets are? Well, we got half of that now (because the other half would probably reveal how much Miami is cheating).

All of the young players for FCC look like total studs. Kevin has played like 40 minutes and I already love the man. He's not my favorite though that is absolutely Luca.

I hate the MLS refs so bad. The entire pool are basically Angel Hernandez's who didn't skip cardio.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

Then yes, he's very good, probably good enough to stunt on MLS even in a year when his contract expires and someone less rich than the literal oil sheikhs who currently employ him might pick him up on a retirement contract.

But another thing you'll learn getting into soccer is which transfer rumours and sources to give any weight to, and that's very much not one of them.

edit: lol, I was mostly talking about HITC, I didn't even realise that it was good old Will Forbes citing them

One of the nice things about being an FCC fan is the big team podcast features a labor lawyer who poopsocks MLS roster construction rules so the rest of us don't have to. It's amazing how many times they talk about some story being talked up on Twitter and he's like "MLS teams aren't contractually allowed to bid against each other for this player so the stories are bullshit."

Even after hearing him talk about it for 20 minutes you don't come away from it thinking you understand things because it seems like it's basically Calvinball.

I mean, OP Emeritus Hoover Dam (pbuh) regularly referred to MLS roster rules as Calvinball on weed, if that gives you an idea on how it's historically been.

I mean there was also a rumor that De Bruyne was having his interest tested by teams in Saudi Arabia too, so it’s not out of nowhere.

Regrettably Toronto's Italians actually look relatively bought in this year so the answer is clearly Shaqiri

on the bright side if they keep getting half their team suspended for starting fights after close losses they should continue achieving results like letting Nashville, a team literally about to fire their manager for his infamous offensive ineptitude, score
