Nyk33 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 It won't ever be "the best option". Another couple years in the Stadium would be preferable.They have the money. They'll get it built.The money is not the hard part. Navigating the political jungle of NYC politics is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 As the Yankees know full well. And they also know how money makes those problems seem so much smaller. Do they want to spend a ton of their own cash? Of course not. Insanely rich people don't get or stay rich by spending money they don't have to. But in the end, if that's the way to get it done, they will. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed...who's really going to be watching the USOC when the World Cup is going on? Nice job US Soccer On a side note, Cruz Azul won the CONCACAF Champions League on penalty kicks versus Toluca. Still a Mexican dominance in CONCACAF. As well Toluca hit with a fine for taping San Jose training sessions... THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Actually, according to the article linked in your post, it was due to the away goals rule. There was no penalty shootout.

-kj Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 To be fair, presuming that the games are night games, most of the World Cup games will be finished by that time; while Brazil is on similar time as the US, they are a couple of hours ahead of Eastern time.

I don't think the U.S. Open games would be that blowed-over if those start times were adjusted to 8:30-9pm EST.Then again, with so much boiled-over reaction from the USMNT in Brazil (especially if the U.S. loses games), who would think of any of the Open games when people are reacting to what had just happened in South America?

crashcarson15 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The fundamental issue at play is that the USSF just flat out doesn't care about the USOC and would as well prefer it to be swept under the rug.There'd be nothing worse from their point-of-view than the Cosmos or another NASL team winning a highly-publicized version of the USOC.

Jer15 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Speaking of domestic cups. This year is the Canadian Championship expanded.The NASL's Ottawa Fury played Edmonton FC in Ottawa for a scoreless draw on Wednesday. The second leg goes in Edmonton April 30th.The winner will go on to play Montreal while Toronto will face Vancouver for the semi-final match-ups in in May.

The second leg goes in Edmonton April 30th.The winner will go on to play Montreal while Toronto will face Vancouver for the semi-final match-ups in in May. I still think that it being touted as the Canadian Championship or Voyageurs Cup, that ALL Canadian clubs (including USL PDL) should be allowed to play for the Cup. I think it would be good for a club like WSA Winnipeg to be able play at home v TFC. It would draw huge numbers in attendance and a huge media coverage. I'm sorry but the Canadian Championship has been a bit of a joke. Especially with letting a first year club like Ottawa into the competiton when other Canadian clubs like Victoria Highlanders FC, Thunder Bya Chill (both are 2013 PDL Cup Final Four pariticipants), Toronto Lynx, Forest City London, and WSA Winnipeg have been around for five plus years.

Lee. Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 If anything, let the PDL teams have a play-in to see who gets in, giving us a 6 team round robin. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictoriaGooner Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Fury were a PDL team for 5 plus years until this year weren't they?Yes Fury had a PDL club for five years but they weren't eligible to play in the Voyageurs Cup until they went "pro".If anything, let the PDL teams have a play-in to see who gets in, giving us a 6 team round robin.I agree with at least a play-in first round for all PDL clubs to either six or eight clubs...

Same with other Canadian PDL clubs. If CSA wants the Voyageurs Cup to follow The FA Cup, they need to include the smaller "non-league" clubs...

Lee. Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'd also like to say "screw you, Ottawa" for taking the Fury name when Winnipeg has a soccer history with that name. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
