Anybody give a shit?

I do - I love soccer and it will be great to have MLS in SA.
Let me guess, there are gonna be many empty seats and the FO gonna say the seats were bought (actually by the local government) in advance by season ticket holder fans that didn't show up. When in reality San Antonians were more interested in "jengaing" up their tamales and not watching the game.
They aren't gonna get it. Hell, it's more likely the NBA gets their wish and the Spurs are moved out of San Antonio.
Far from a sure thing but I agree that it would be great. :tuQuote:

You gonna try out if it's open invitation, tbh? Could be their Jonathan Simmons..I heard you had game once upon a time:lolQuote:

Yeah, there's no way they get it against the other bidders. (As only two cities will get the bid for 2020.)

My money's on Phoenix and St. Louis tbh.Quote:

No. Phoenix put in a bid last minute, they aren't serious contenders.
There's four spots up for grabs. Sacramento and St. Louis are pretty heavy favorites from what I've read. After that, there's noone that really stands out from the pack.
Yeah man that's why I was surprised with your comment. 10 years ago when Real Salt Lake, Chivas USA, Toronto, etc were added the buy-in was under $10 million. Now all these cities placing bids have to pay a $150 million buy-in if they're chosen. MLS is growing, tbh.Quote:

I'd rather them get a rugby franchise. Like I'd actually go to a game if they did.
The rumors are true but my best days are long gone my man lol. Im a lot less like Vince Carter who's still able to play and more like MJ that every once in a while can beat up on someone during a practice but could not survive a real game.Quote:

Poop and RC building a champion in the USL too, 2 wins to open the season :wow
:tu
Have you gone to support them at all? I haven't been to a game yet.
So, is the USL some sort of under division league of the MLS? If they win the championship do they advance to a higher division, or what? And why is the LA Galaxy playing there? Isn't that a MLS team?
Not since they became SA FC. I went to a few when they were still the Scorpions.
Hoping to make some games this season though.
Yeah, it's pretty much the lower division but there's no promotion/relegation. More like affiliates kind of like how the D-League is with the NBA. The MLS wants to add four teams though and SA is in the running for that.Quote:

:wow
That is a hellava goal... world class...!Quote:

MLS is AA Soccer League.
:lmao "gets their wish" The San Antonio Spurs are a byword in sports now. The NBA does not any longer desire to move the Spurs. Moving the most successful franchise in the past 20+ years is foolishness personified.Quote:

Dude, does anything make you happy :lol? You could be getting your d-wet on your wedding day and you would still be like "well 50% of marriages in divorce"Quote:

My original point was that MLS won't come to SA over cities like Phoenix, San Diego, or the like because of how small the market is and it wouldn't make sense for an already struggling sports league to take such a risk. I used the Spurs analogy partly in jest, but it really does stand to reason that if the NBA had the chance to move the Spurs from SA to a larger market like Seattle, St. Louis, etc they'd prolly jump at it.Quote:

Absolutely murdering teams in their own home, tbh.
2-1 @ Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2
3-2 @ Seattle Sounders FC 2
4-0 @ Portland Timbers FC 2
That is your subjective right to dislike the sport... but to suggest that [paraphrasing] "love soccer is linked to low IQ" is nothing but mere arrogance on your part. When played at a high level the skill and talent is nothing short of extraordinary.Quote:

Pretty good season so far, but have not really been put to the test. The USL teams they've beaten are pretty much bottom tiered so far. Reno is a joke, as are much of the second MLS teams they've faced (Galaxy 2, Whitecaps 2, Sounders 2, and now Timbers 2). The only real test they've had resulted in a draw against a decent Colorado Springs team at home. The RGV away win was truly a fluke, RGV had so many chances to equalize/win that it's a miracle... I do expect a playoff push this year though.
Soccer sucks
