It is quite ironic that a school notorious for left wing activism is going to be responsible for the longest travel schedule next year. Thats top shelf environmentalism.

If Iโm the USSF, Iโm almost letting all of these friendly announcements happen and basically letting MLS hang themselves on โschedule congestionโ argument for next yearโs cup. Hammer needs to come down next season, this is unacceptable.

Give the man credit, he can sell a lie better than most. Lays out all of these bad stats that MLS is ultimately responsible for. Marketing, TV rights, fan interest. MLS failed in all of those areas when their patsy SUM had control of the cup. This is literally their own doing.
@SECUnfiltered
Just to be clear here, if you hated it when Tennessee did it you have to hate it when Florida did it. I for one, think if you donโt like it, donโt give up home runs. Let the kids have fun. The guy didnโt yell at the pitcher or do anything directed at a player, let em play.
Our fans donโt know where the games are being shown. Well, sir, itโs literally the job of the teams marketing depts to marketing the cup effectively and MLS has flatly failed on all levels to promote the cup in any real sense. Donโt quote a negative stat you are responsible for!
Alright, I have to ask. Unless youโve lived under a rock or simply donโt follow this level, youโve seen multiple teams leave right before the season, youโve seen and heard the avalanche of negativity around the NPSL, they kick out their champs, and clubs still join.Why. Why. Why.

Sometimes I forget, this club didnโt exist 4 years ago. The best local players had to travel 2 hours to play at this level. Our conference didnโt exist. The infrastructure wasnโt there. We had (almost) zero support from the local youth clubs and yet here we are.

Iโve largely stayed out of politics for a bit now, but this one is personal. 7 of my Marines did not come home including one of my roommates. This is not a long weekend. This is a solemn and hallowed weekend. Our brothers and sisters will not be forgotten.
This is unacceptable.

It looks like a tradition or staged action, there would be no reason for that many Marines to act that fast to something like this. Itโs a formal event, no one really wants to act up, everyone is usually pretty relaxed. Looks staged.

It just skipped down to 3, so you have to also skip down to what 3 would be in order to follow the pattern.
Donโt give the coach the resources needed to be competitive, donโt update let alone upgrade the facilities, largely ignore the entire sport and then fire the head coach. This is on admin. Do better.

It just depends on what you want in life. If you donโt mind the year around grind, have a high tolerance for dealing with people with egos, donโt mind getting paid peanuts, donโt mind missing holidays and donโt want to start a family youโll be fine. Those are usually the problems
Iโm sorry (sarcasm) that MLS and CONCACAF did such a great job marketing the tournament that I didnโt even know the competition was going on and that they were playing. Or should we take pictures of all the other empty MLS venues yesterday in cup play? Good marketing is a flex.

This is going to be awesome. Not only does it keep the top clubs playing other top clubs, but it will help newer clubs get their foot in the door before having to play the top teams. Canโt wait for the storylines in late July when teams are getting relegated and promoted!

Seems a bit risky without a lot of reserves in the back. If they get countered, there will be a huge hole in the lines. This seems like a kitchen sink moment.
@AlexiLalas
True, but now that league is trying to strangle the rest of the sport in the US and make sure no one else can compete with them while USL makes significant progress on their own. MLS did a lot for the sport, but the SUM corruption, the board corruption, we need change.
The NPSL's treatment of Tulsa Atheltic in 2024 hints at deeper issues. It is creating additional unnecessary obstacles for lower-league American soccer clubs that already have enough of those.
@DNikolaysen
@WarMonitor3
Any pressure in a panicked rear area should work, the goal is to cut the route east and to strengthen the noose in the north. Blocking the bridges will be key and minimize the will to attempt a breakout. Not sure whatโs left there though, could have already fled.
That top Division easily has the clubs of any league at this level in that area. No question.
The battle for promotion will be TOUGH. Berber or Castle probably have an edge, but the new clubs will have plenty to compete for.

The Open Cup continues to still be the most corrupt and poorly run tournament in the country. Teams from the same level shouldnโt get preferential side deals. All pro clubs should be required to play and the federation should actually try to market the tournament.
@reformussoccer
Iโm not sure there was possibly a better hire in the world for this position. Iโm a little biased as a Chelsea supporter, but the club and her players would go through a wall for Emma. Is there a more accomplished womenโs coach out there right now?
If you vote yes, you donโt really understand the situation the Mizzou HC is in.
Worst facilities in the conference.
No support from admin.
Virtually no fan support.
Terrible weather for 3/4 of the season comparatively.
The fact they win as much as they do is impressive.

Success/history DOES NOT equal size. Two separate things. There are huge clubs that have no trophies and small ones with all sorts of silverware.
I get the allure of watching a game at the stadium, but it would be nice if people followed the lower league clubs at a respectable showing. I get the clubs need to do more, but the possibilities are there.
