[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
