Julio Cesar To toronto Fc.. Thats crazy
hopefully they qualify for champions league
[QUOTE=kaiteng]MLS has officially bought Chivas USA back from Jorge Vergara, the owner of thr original Chivas CD Guadalajara.
Should they move the team, change the name, both, or else?[/QUOTE]
Move them to Phoenix.
FC Tucson also drew with Shitvas
Chivas USA has made a [URL="http://mikesmind.sportsblog.com/post/582121/luke_moore_joins_chivas_usa.html"]new signing with British Luke Moore[/URL]
While the Galaxy have signed two homegrown players in Bradford Jamieson & Raul Mendiola. Jamieson has been a mainstay on the Youth National Teams and is only 17. He scored 3 times in 11 matches for the Galaxy Academy. Jamieson was stolen from Chivas USA's academy. Mendiola is two years older at 19 and was a key part of the Academy's record this past season with 13 finishes.
Galaxy have done well with their academy in the past, pulling guys like Tristan Bowen, Gyasi Zardes, Jack McBean & Jose Villareal.
[QUOTE=kaiteng]That's a seriously good academy. :applause:[/QUOTE]
Among the best in the MLS. I don't want to say the best because I don't know the rest off the top of my head.
But I won't be shocked if Jamieson ends up being the cream of the crop, or #2 behind Villareal.
[QUOTE=netsfan549]Do you guys think mls miami will work?[/QUOTE]
no, but that's more b/c sports fans in Florida suck in general.
Its pretty much the worst state for an expansion team in any sport.
Not MLS news but thought this was interesting
Hearing Jurgen Klinsmann is pushing harder to get Arsenal's Gedion Zelalem & Mainz's Shawn Parker to choose the USMNT. Hardly a slam dunk.
MLS season starts tomorrow :cheers:

[QUOTE=kaiteng]MLSE and City of Toronto are close to make a deal to expand BMO Field. 10000+ seats and roofs will be added and the size of the field will be expanded for potential use as the new home for Argos Canadian football and maybe NHL outdoor games.
The question for now is that if the Argos actually move in, do they have to spend more to make a convertible grass/turf field so TFC fans and players don't get pissed off?[/QUOTE]
There's no other way in my opinion. I'm pretty sure Leweike has gone on the record to say he didn't approve of the joint-pitch idea. Either invest in the convertible grass or back off.
Ps - I haven't been this excited about TFC since the inaugural season. We've finally beefed up this roster with formidable players.

Spending has never been an issue with TFC as they've always managed to bring in "top" guys(for MLS standards) and always was one of the higher spending clubs. Stability and management seemed to be the issue.
Although Nelson was under scrutiny last year it does help to have the manager come back and TFC seemed to develop a young core over the past 2 years or so and brought in big names to make a push. That's a recipe for success imo.
MLS locks out referees and officials a day before the opener!? :wtf:
I take it Henry is not playing.
We need to get this MLS thread into the World Soccer thread.
There were some crazy games yesterday. Sounders winning on essentially the last kick of the game, Timbers equalizing with 4 seconds left in stoppage time, Dynamo, Crew, Whitecaps clobbering the Revs, NYRB, and DCU respectively.
The Galaxy, namely Robbie Keane, really blew a ton of good scoring opportunities and were deservedly punished for failing to capitalize. Rimando had a great save on the Keane PK...we're lucky to have him as our 3rd GK.
I love MLS matchday app
Good thing MLS pays their players.. Puebla another team that isnt paying their players
Detroit should have MLS team
SKC beat Cruz Azul
and
Galaxy beat Xolos
Great wins
[QUOTE=kaiteng]Will an MLS team wins CCL this season?[/QUOTE]
I think MLS team can Galaxy or SKC
[QUOTE=kaiteng]If Quakes win they will have an easier route though. Plus, all three MLS teams will have to play in Mexico, which never is easy for any MLS teams, on the second legs.
We will see how things will turn out.[/QUOTE]
I was so pumped for Toronto FC vs Seattle till I realized wont be here lol
[QUOTE=netsfan549]I was so pumped for Toronto FC vs Seattle till I realized wont be here lol[/QUOTE]
Yea, seattle vs toronto is a great matchup and I don't think there was such a marquee match with stars in the lineup. Closest I can think was back in 2011 when LA played NY(Henry's first match against LA) that featured Donovan, Becks, Henry, Juan Pablo Angel(was a hell of a striker back in the day), Rafael Marquez. Robbie Keane didn't join LA until that Summer.
Brings a tear into my eye seeing as the league has 4 "Mega-teams" in Seattle, NY, TFC and LA. Back then it was one Mega team(LA), then came NY with the spending, then SEA and now TFC.
Chad Barrett won't start. It'll either be Kenny Cooper or Dempsey if he's fully fit.
The best matchup will be Bradley vs. Ozzie Alonso, probably the two best CMs in MLS.

Hopefully CDemp is healthy to go. He's been having nagging injuries and i'm sure that turf field doesn't help it.
And yea although Cooper hasn't been the best lately I think he's a very good striker. Hasn't lived up to his potential though unfortunately. Mario Gomez lite but tried to play as a winger which is stupid considering he has a massive body and a very good finisher.
Dempsey, Martins, Alonso, Pappa, Evans, Marhsall, Yedlin, Bradley, Defoe, De Rosario, Julio Cesar(GK). Alot of notable players who played in Europe or NT players.
But I think we'll see Toronto struggle though. Too many new guys and Seattle is a no joke team(well managed) and one of the most consistent sides since their expansion season.
I'm curious to see how Bradley is used. Probably as a deep lying playmaker
Can not lose two in a row to begin the campaign
Defoe earning his pay right now the bat. His goals were nothing out of this world but characteristic of a quality striker. There aren't too many natural finishers like that in this league. He should have a hayday this campaign.
Bradley was true to form as well. The guy was all over the pitch tonight...

I was glad to see Dempsey score but man, he acted like a punk all game long and should have a red card for that cheap shot on bloom.
Cooper's always had great tools to be a target man but tries to play like he's a foot shorter. It's got to be a frustrating to be a fan of a team he plays on.
Bradley was all over the place yesterday. His work rate is insane and he really caused all sorts of trouble with his ball pressure. I thought Seattle had control of the game but that back pass from Pappa was suicidal and Defoe did what he does best - finish his opportunities.
I saw the Philly game and the Union look really good. Mo Edu will be one of the best CMs in the league along with Bradley, Beckerman, and Alonso. The other two new signings, Maidana and Nogueira have improved the team a lot.
Shitvas is balling. Held on to draw despite it being 10v11

another nice win.

First respectable roster that they've fielded since our inception. Loving the ferocity Bradley plays with. You can really feel the buzz circulating around this team.
back in the states wish this weekend toronto vs salt lake was televised on NBC
[QUOTE=kaiteng]TFC never has a striker as sharp as Defoe. Koevermans was very productive in different way [I]when healthy[/I]. Chad Barrett is just a generic MLS level striker. Earnshaw was okay but is a one-trick pony.
Bradley is also another level of anchor midfielder. Frings was great but was on his last legs. De Guzman is only productive when surrounded by bigger stars and TFC then didn't have any.
Nelsen also has his defense set up since last season so now he can reap some rewards this year.[/QUOTE]
You're forgetting about prime DeRo when he was with TFC who's one of the best this league has seen. Frings and Kovermans were solid but very old and injury prone. Can't rely on 35 yr old DP's..
Good to be watching some good old honest soccer.
[QUOTE=kaiteng]RSL is about to beat TFC 3-0, and the fans chanted "OVERRATED!" :oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:
I kinda agree. :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
I dont agree lol, Gilberto looked pretty bad yesterday. and dumb mistakes by defense
two biggest upset teams are timbers and red bulls
we should have insidehoops mls fantasy
[QUOTE=kaiteng]Former FC Dallas and TFC, now with NY Cosmos, Peri Marocevic got punked by his team on April Fool's Day, putting him in a wing eating competition without knowing that the guy aside him is Kobayashi.
