raysox Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Looks like "2" USL teams aren't drawing big fanshttps://twitter.com/champgnesoccer/status/646370365594210305I say a reserve league would be better just because 50 fans at a game is pretty unremarkable @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Yeah, I don't see how the USL can survive in its current configuration. The developmental teams should be Division III, and the independent clubs DII. Those two groups just don't have anything in common, and work at total cross-purposes.

pcgd Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I would love a NASL/USL merger of some kind. I know this isn't the pointless realignment thread, but how great would this league be:West:Sacramento RepublicArizona UnitedTulsa RoughnecksOKC EnergyOklahoma City FC (TBD)San Antonio ScrpionsAustin AztecsFC EdmontonCentral:Indy ElevenLouisville CityFC CincinnatiSt. Louis FCCarolina RailhawksCharleston BatteryRochester RhinosEast:Jacksonville ArmadaNew York CosmosRichmond KickersFt. Lauderdale StrikersMiami FCOttawa FuryPuerto Rico FCAtlanta Silverbacks (maybe)Reserve teams stay in D3 with some smaller Pro teams like OC Blues and others. Maybe teams like Pittsburgh, Harrisburg or Wilmington move up, maybe they don't. Let them decide. Home and Road against all teams in your division, play every other team once. Division winners, plus a wildcard for playoffs. Boom: Awesome D2 league with existing teams and no reserve teams. I'd say cap it at 24-28 teams. Sorry, probably wrong thread but I just agree that it would be great to see the independent teams split from the reserve sides while getting the strong teams from each league together playing each other.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 This Orlando/NYRB game is pretty fun. I turned it on with Orlando surprisingly up 3-1, NYRB scored to cut it to 3-2, and Orlando immediately scored to be up 4-2. 20 minutes to go.Also, New York's coach was dismissed, and I saw a yellow card given to Orlando's goalie for delay and a Red Bull for entering the field.Plus, Red Bull Arena, for its faults, is a really handsome place for soccer. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the NASL OKC team is officially dead.I would replace that team with the eventual NASL California team (either San Francisco City or LA Aztecs revival).

raysox Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (I know it's pointless but) i would love to see a true 2nd tier soccer league form with the best of both leagues. Structure it the same as the MLS with 24 teams, so there's consistency. Have the "2" teams as d3 or a separate reserve league.Also, the Armada will be in Tea Men NASL throwbacks against the Rowdies tonight(who PCGD didn't include in his realignment for some reason!) @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 The only fault I see in RBA is the location.Indeed. I should have said "for all its fault." It's a really great-looking stadium, seen from afar and on TV. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 It's one of the best soccer stadiums I've ever been to. Slightly smaller than a Premier League ground but every bit their equal.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Two very questionable PKs were given in the last 7 minutes of play (including stoppage time) -- one for Vancouver and one for NYCFC. City (can you call them that?) wins though, and the Whitecaps' end-of-season slide continues.It's been a fun day of MLS, starting with Sebastian Gionvinco's continued dominance of the league. Gionvinco is too good for words, and will likely be the first MLS player with more then 20 goals and 15 assists (he's at 19 and 16 now). Also, the Impact are undefeated with Drogba, who now has 7 goals in 5 games. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 That was one hell of a finish! Both of those penalties were rather questionable, but it's a wash.Though, Montreal's win today doesn't help our playoff hopes (I know it's a long shot, but still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I can think of no better example of MLS' playoff absurdity than the fact that the Fire just got eliminated from postseason contention yesterday.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I think I read there is a currently a poll looking for input on colors but one gets the feeling they want black/red to be inevitable. Ok by me, though it'll be a little weird when Atlanta comes in at the same time with a similar scheme. That said, there are only so many color combos available and MLS is pretty diverse for a 20-team league. Orange, green, yellow, light blue, navy, red, purple, and black teams make for regularly varied match ups. The league is only missing brown and then they've about captured the rainbow. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
