I am glad the media is hyping up Aaron Judge's homerun chase towards the end of the season. Not sure when the next time we will see anyone hit more than 60 homeruns in a season. I  hope the media hypes of that future player as well regardless of which team they're on.

Didn't really understand the need to move Nashville around when this was obviously inevitable. STL in the West makes sense and their rivalry with KC will be the next one the league beats relentlessly I'm sure.

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.

Agreed, bring in a natural grass surface. But yeah even venues outside current MLS markets. Maybe get Atlanta to Birmingham, Orlando to Tampa, DC to Baltimore. Heck even get New England at Fenway would be interesting.

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

Sorry for wishing for a regional conference of like minded universities, aside from BYU playing the outcast villain role, instead of a dumb nation wide super conference.  Big 12 teams have no business being in the Pac-12 and Pac-12 teams have no business being in the Big 12, and of course Pac-12 teams should not be in the B1G.

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!

It's all going to depend on the seller. I've bought and sold dozens of items on Poshmark.

 

As a general rule, if they're using only stock photos (no photos of the actual jersey) then it's 99.9% going to be fake.

Good tip! Thanks for the info.

Wow I literally came here to make this post...small world

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?

Loudoun has been one of the few "two" teams that actually draw fans. If they pull something similar to what Seattle did (rebrand from Seattle Sounders 2 to Tacoma Defiance) in having their own identity, I think they might be able to draw more and survive. Tacoma brought was one of the two teams that managed to bring in fans and have their own identity (at least until covid hit and the move to MLS Next Pro. As far as I know MLS Next Pro doesnt report attendance so Im not sure how they are doing now)

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.

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.

Based on the MLB thread can I add the Yankees logo here?

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.

Blues stave off elimination with a huge comeback in the third to clinch out Game 5 in OT and now get to head home with a massive momentum boost.

 

If they win this series, that Thomas goal is going to be the iconic moment of it and the Avs are going to have to deal with the branding of being the new Capitals with how damn often they choke in the second round.

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! ;)
