Man I'm excited to see what Atlanta brings to MLS

Minnesota too

Was in Atlanta this past week and saw a ton of billboards for the team. I see them being similar to Orlando City from last year. I don't have much for expectations for Minnesota tho and apparently neither does Adidas given how weak of kits they got...

Also, anyone up for MLS fantasy??

I'd be in. Is it like EPL fantasy where it's salary cap based or like fantasy football with a draft and whatnot?
 
 


Sellout

Fire kits, fire stadium, fire city.

Y'all won.

Everything looks good so hopefully the team plays like it on Sunday

. I just wish the new stadium was done and the home opener could be there but either way its exciting.
 
Didn't see what happened to Torres but based off what everyone is saying it must have looked pretty nasty glad he's well.

For those that didn't see Griezmann's goal
I know I'm back tracking quoting this but got damn what a rocket from like 40 yds out :eek :eek :hat

Hope y'all start a run of sellout games too. Not sure how many teams sell out seasons at a time (other than PDX and the wildings of the north), but it'd be cool if a team in the south could do it too.
 
 
Do non-Mexican clubs ever win this competition?
Nope, MLS team has only made the final twice since 08
I mean, some of the blame is on the MLS season schedule not matching up with the rest of the world

I think I'm just more excited to see what Miguel Ibarra and Christian Ramerez does at the MLS level (Ibarra showed flashes at Leon but never really latched on).... I hope Minnesota succeeds in growing that fan base, it'd be cool.

MLS fantasy is salary based, exactly like EPL fantasy... although the scoring is a little different and makes it much easier to score points 
 
And it even cause the NFL is such quality, its just culture, but I would say the MLS is worse in quality

Eliminating the group stage and replacing it with a new playoff phase for teams in smaller countries will help prevent MLS and Liga MX teams from being hit with group games in the latter half of the calendar year. That is a benefit, but it’s a small one given that the biggest problem – knockout games during MLS preseason – remains. MLS can’t change its own schedule because many of its northeast and midwest markets experience freezing cold weather in the winter.

This is the MLS reason why they don't want to have games in the winter :lol

Agreed

MLS can't compete in the fall with NFL...yet.


In a country of 330 million MLS doesn't need to compete with the NFL.

If MLS grows in status to the point where it rivals the NHL, then financially it would be on par with the EPL.

Think about that for a second.
