To be fair, Nashville started in the Western Conference their inaugural 2020 season. The pandemic forced the League to move them to the Eastern Conference for the rest of the 2020 and the 2021 seasons. The League moved Nashville to the Western Conference for the 2022 season because of Charlotte FC entering the League, which would have created at 15/13 club imbalance.

That might be Nashville's permanent home going forward, should Las Vegas, Phoenix, or San Diego be awarded 30th club; unless, of course, the League does something radical like divides itself into three divisions of 10 clubs.

Fun fact, DCU is considering setting up an MLS Next Pro club in Baltimore in the coming years.

Don't apologize for your vision. It looks entertaining to me, especially of what could have happened out West.

I didn't watch the USMNT-Japan World Cup warm-up match, but have read that the USMNT performance was ugly. Definitely not what you want to hear going into the World Cup.

Really hope Brighton & Hove Albion sustains their early season success. We'll see what happens!

Good tip! Thanks for the info. Weird, right?

The second worst team in the regular season is in the championship game? That's almost complete Chaos!

Has anyone bought jerseys off Poshmark? If so, was the quality exactly like the photos or were you duped?

Here are the 2022 attendance figures (through August 1). Loudoun United drew a 2,076 crowd against LA Galaxy II in Week 22 to bump up total attendance to 18,384 for the season. They are currently ranked 23rd out of 27 clubs in attendance. Maybe this is a turning point or aberration in their season, but the club struggles to draw fans.

Loudoun United has a nice stadium. It’s too bad it is located on the outskirts of Leesburg, making it a pain in the ass to travel to for a match. I believe the average attendance for this season is somewhere north of 1,000 per match out of 5,000 seats in the stadium. Also, it doesn't help that the on-field product has been terrible since its inception. Honestly, it’s best that Loudoun United either becomes an independent club, rebrands, or folds rather than stay with DCU for another year.

Thanks for the memories, Soto. We'll always have that 2019 World Series championship. Best of luck in San Diego. I'm glad that the slow burning fire sale is finally over.

What if Nike vastly overpays for the contract in which there's no more ads on the helmets or uniforms.

No.

Montreal

How about moving CIN to the NL South and TEX to the NL Central?

To be fair, the last true Yankee fans were established during the 1982 to 1993 seasons.

YES!

I am glad that DC and Baltimore weren't selected to host World Cup matches.

The new CF Montreal logo has too many elements to it. I wish they ditched the roundel for the shield to have more of an impact or uniqueness in MLS.

To be fair, the Avs and Caps have both lost 6 series each in the Second Round or Semifinals since the 2001-2002 season.

Say no more! ;)

Determining whether to use MSA or CSA is tricky when displaying maps as a graphic. It sounds like you have valuable geospatial data. I recommend keeping it under lock and key rather than making it freely available for anyone to use, run analysis on, and not give you any credit.
