But yes, USL may have internal pro-rel. Frankly I think it's a mistake, particularly with the league still this young trying to establish rivalries and grouping teams geographically. USL-1 is just too low level to have a national footprint. Particularly after MLS finishes pulling its teams out. I mean I hate pro-rel in general but even if they were to implement it, that's something for 20 years down the line. They're rushing into this to "differentiate" themselves from MLS. Problem is, MLS has proven their model is what works in the US. Why run counter to that and fail. Same goes for the calendar as we discussed earlier. This country gets too cold in the north for a fall-winter league without a very long winter break like Russia. If spring-fall is good enough for the likes of Sweden, Brazil and Ireland, it's good enough for the US. I wonder if we'll see teams turn down promotion too because of the added costs. Didn't Richmond do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Do the Wilfs just wanna corner the market on purple or what? Speaking of FL, last night was my first time watching a Miami game and what a mistake that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Rumor has it Messi was in the house for that Miami game last night. I don't think I can overstate how important it is/was for the health of the league as a whole for Inter Miami to fall flat on its face. Everything about their approach from Beckham overstepping his fellow owners, to the hiring his buddy Neville, to the Championship-level players they brought in (Shawcross, Kieran Gibbs, and kicking the tires on Willian) was completely unimaginative and even snobbish to a degree. Instead of looking for young and exciting Latin American players hungry to launch their careers (and would go a long way in helping endear the club to the city), they instead went after big European names who were past their prime. The only time those moves work out in MLS -- Keane, Beckham, Henry, Villa, Zlatan, Nani -- are when those players are the ultimate competitors and they have such pride/egos/drive that won't allow them to go out and play at half-speed.

Digby Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 They’ve just colossally bought in on the ideas on building an MLS team from a decade+ ago. Guess it makes sense for Beckham to do that, of all people. But it sure doesn’t work in the MLS 3.0 era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Most of Seattle is injured so they started a bunch of 16 year olds today.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I noticed during the Sounders/Austin game that the green lights still came on after a goal (called back) but I didn't notice a crazy strobing effect. Maybe they got rid of it following complaints? 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...

Maybe they got rid of it following complaints? They had a similar idea at one of the Stadiums in Singapore, but it was Red and it was super bright and annoying. Now they don't flash as much and sometimes they don't even use them. Logano wins BOWL before Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I’m so glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed and been annoyed by this trend. I guess Austin’s is fine but meh. But the Revs started making their floodlights dance when Gillette went to LEDs like 3 years ago, and it’s so obnoxious. This is not the club!
