Digby Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Pat Onstad's first move as Houston GM is apparently firing Tab Ramos as coach. Feels like yesterday people thought Ramos should be a USMNT coach, but also, not like he's been given a whole lot to work with. I hope the new ownership at Houston turns that team around; actual investment in the squad for the first time ever will go a lot further than replacing the coach.

Dilbert Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Today in Cincinnati, the FCC front office gave strict orders to confiscate any wooden spoons being brought into the stadium, but a really big spoon made it in, the Anthony Precourt Memorial Wooden Spoon. Â Â A member of the front office staff was also seen running away from getting his picture taken with the trophy.

The Sounders were running away with the conference, but after the Concacaf loss (or was it a different competition?) the wheels kind of fell off.

Digby Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 There are a lot of pretty compelling matchups here. Some real toss-ups in play especially in the East's round one. The international break immediately coming in isn't great but I get why it had to happen this year; the further break after that remains a real sore point with me. Colorado and New England won't play til Thanksgiving or days after, and that feels insane.     Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Nashville has had a good run in MLS and I feel like that goes a little underreported. Â I saw on Twitter last night that not only has Seattle never missed the MLS playoffs (which everyone knows), they also have never finished outside of the top 4. That's wild. Â That said, this is New England's title to lose. 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...

Â Â I think much like New England, they're a consistently good but rarely jaw-dropping-dominant team. I guess even moreso like that with all the draws. Combine that with not being a glory market and not having superstar names. It's been a real substance-over-style season in MLS seems like, with so many glory teams faltering and lots of bad stadiums and boring-but-excellent roster constructions leading the way.

Digby Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 The playoffs and MLS Cup had been 3 or 4 weeks earlier for a time and I remember they were trying to avoid the disruption of the November international break, before obviously last year Covid delayed things, and this year had that PLUS the near-work stoppage pushed this season to a way late start. Of course the first-round bye portion of the delay, of dubious competitive utility to boot, is purely MLS's fault.  At least they've already assured us of next year's dates, even if World Cup is forcing their hand.  Regardless there's a tension here between the TV needs and the live needs... this year it's unfortunate that your #1 seeds are two teams that could really use this as an attendance boost, but one gets stuck playing on the first Thanksgiving after Covid canceled it last year, the other gets to play on a Tuesday night at the notoriously difficult-to-access-on-weekdays nowheresville stadium.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hyperbole from him. He's a big fan of soccer overall, but he stumps a lot for MLS. https://en.as.com/en/2021/11/08/soccer/1636337882_761913.html Bob Bradley is reported to be the new head coach at Toronto FC. I think he's got better players at LAFC but he's probably worn out his welcome.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
