Re: 2015 MLS Thread
Why put this all on Garber? This is as much (if not more so) the fault of the fans who voted for that team. Garber has a very real interest in selecting those two big names to help grow the prominence of the league over-seas. The fans who voted and left out Giovinco should receive the majority of the blame here, IMHO.
Amazing how many people are upset at this when they could/should have had a direct say in the outcome. But then I suppose it is much easier to blame the prominent figure than accept that their own choices.

Re: 2015 MLS Thread
That's honestly a very competitive XI. I personally voted for Gio over Martins, but had no issues voted for Deuce over Keane. Just the way it goes. Have no complaints whatsoever about the rest of that side.
Garber very predictable. If not Gerrard and Lampard...would've been Pirlo probably as one of his picks. Only folks who should be rightly pissed off are MLS players who probably had done enough to deserve his pick, but didn't get it.....though to be frank, they were never going to get it anyway.

In other news in Gerrard's debut, he draws a penalty, gets and assist, scored a goal, and could have had two but the ref didn't play advantage on a second penalty call
The Galaxy are missing Zardes and will add Dos Santos soon. The league is over, no one can touch the Galaxy and their quality

Re: 2015 MLS Thread
I didn't know what's going on with that roster.
Navigated the internet a little bit and I found out MLS's All Stars will play against Tottenham.
Don't know why, but I want to find out more about MLS right now. Probably because I always thought about the Americans that they are true athletes, hard workers and naturally gifted with mentality of winners. I got this from watching UFC and NBA.
Somehow, I always appreciated the US national team because they had an amazing ambition to stay in the competition (watching World Cups). But with those transfers from Europe, are those American players gone? The ones with the attitude I was speaking about.
And here in Romania, Eurosport provides us LIVE games from MLS. I watched a few games in the past, the rhythm was a little bit slow, funny referees and nice goals.

Yeah a good chunk of our bigger players have moved back to MLS (namely Altidore, Bradley, and Dempsey). Despite that move, it doesn't appear to have impacted us as much as previously thought.

Re: 2015 MLS Thread
The feedback about Pirlo has been quite positive, though I think the superlatives hurled at him so early in his career in MLS are perhaps a bit overblown. Many think he did extremely well in his debut and from what I saw, he was involved indirectly in atleast 2 of NYC's 5 goals. He did exactly what he's always done: glide around the pitch and spray super accurate balls to runners.

I watched the game, both teams defenses were bad to say the least, but it led to an awesome game imo.
Pirlo only gave the ball away once iirc, other than that, he was typical Pirlo. Controlled the midfield right away, and started 2 attacks that led to goals. You could see players like Poku started benefiting immediately.
Also the loanee from Man City, Angelino looked really good. Think he could make their 1st team in a couple years.

Not exactly "2015" but worth noting anyway:

One restriction is that soccer can’t sell stadium naming rights until baseball sells its own. But the baseball stadium is in its fourth season and the team still can’t sell those rights because the stadium giveaway deal became a toxic issue.
Further, even if the Marlins someday sell stadium naming rights, soccer can’t sell rights that conflict with the Marlins’ stadium sponsor.
…
No soccer exterior ads may conflict with a major Marlins sponsor. But if soccer sells an exterior ad that doesn’t conflict, the Marlins can then sign a conflicting sponsor and the soccer sponsor can’t renew.
Soccer stadium architecture must mesh with baseball’s and not reflect light toward it. The Marlins get to review all soccer stadium plans, specifications and leases before construction or lease execution.
Soccer stadium construction may not interfere with baseball from two hours before to one hour after a ballpark game or an event – events Marlins owners book and profit from.
No soccer could be played until four hours after baseball. The Marlins get first choice of dates and times.
The soccer team can’t schedule any games at home from March 15 to Nov. 15 until the Marlins choose their own dates. The soccer team gets the leftovers, though a soccer team would get 13 Saturday nights yearly that the Marlins leave clear.
All that’s well and good, but if the Marlins change their schedule, guess what? The soccer team automatically loses its reserved dates. It’s all up to the Marlins.

That's awful all the way around. Beckham needs to do this right. Feels like this is being rushed. Not understanding what he has to tether his team to a baseball team or an NFL team in order to get it off the ground.

They tried to get separate, beach front property for the stadium but every effort has been stymied by the city's government and leaders. This is quite literally the only option left open to them in Miami that could be feasibly settled before his window of discounted franchise fee ($25 million) closes in three months.

SWP with a great great debut.
Assisted twice (once for BWP) after coming on at 65th min.
3-1 against Philly.
On the other hand. DC 6-4 RSL 8 goals in the 2nd half

Great to hear SWP did well in his debut. Hope he enjoys it here.
After all that's happened throughout their careers though, it is kind of hilarious that BWP is a designated player, where as SWP isn't lol

At least BWP will stay for some time now with SWP coming in. Was worried he might leave.
