next soccer question

He was so bad.

[pdub]

If you fire Jurgen Klinsmann in the early stages of world cup qualifying and then hire an uninspiring Bruce Arena and then your team doesn't qualify in one of the easier paths to qualification, you probably deserve a lot of the blame for that.

[Deleted User 141]

So, it’s safe to say he got TeaBagged?

Was Only 2 games in, but sample size being small not withstanding, SKC-Rapids-Loons-FSL seems to be a goal happy pool.

[NewtonHawk11]

Yep. Going to be very interesting to see what happens going forward.

[pdub]

Huh.
One strange short season.

[NewtonHawk11]

Well, they are hoping that the regular season will continue once this is all done. Which would be August 11th, I believe. They are hoping for 18 games or so after the tournament, which would mean 23 games all together.

This is just a tournament.

[pdub]

Does the tournament determine anything?
Will there still be a champion this season?

[NewtonHawk11]

The stage games do count towards standings. Knockout play will not have any impact on standings.

Winner also gets $1.1M and a spot in the CONCACAF Champions League.

[pdub]

Ah.
Fun.
Thank you for doing my research for me.

Yeah, they forced this down player's throats, and it's going to potentially hurt trust btw union and MLS moving forward, but it's gonna happen (assuming Florida doesn't get absolutely rampaged by a new wave of cases in next two weeks). Even then, though, probably still happening.

[Cascadia]

Since MLS isn’t as popular as other sports it’s not as well known that Don Garber is the worst commissioner in professional sports. Unethical clown.

[NewtonHawk11]

Are there any ethics in soccer?

Looks like soccer is going to have to forge ahead without Dear Leaders' support:

I’m curious what sport true patriots are going g to be able to support moving forward.

Good ethics? Not usually. Except when a near career ending injury causes a player to stay down on the pitch. Then the sportsmanship ethics shine.

[Deleted User 141]

I’d guess the MLS tournament gets cancelled/relocated within a week.

[Deleted User 141]

Welp, I was not right about that speculation

[pdub]

If this thing happens, I am excited to see what Pulido can bring.

You see the room service food prices? Lol.
