I realize his rationale, but the fact that the refs are calling everything like it's elementary school means we should play on the front foot all the time; we have pound-for-pound more technique and...

I'm not going to suggest it's a narrative because it's not his usual schtick but this is on the whole entirely accurate. This was a deliberate strategy of bunkering and breaking, and it worked. Even...
"By all accounts?"
Be serious son. Cashley's not coming to MLS. His agent has been floating this for three seasons now without success.
CSL? Lots of Balkan dudes seem to have come through the CSL over the last few decades.
Why do you like him, Oss?
Except Robinson had time as an assistant at New York, time as an assistant at Vancouver, had played in the premiership and captained every team he was on. It was pretty much universally expected,...
Kantari is on $300,000 a season, or something ridiculous like that. So he should be gone, as I highly doubt he'll renegotiate to less than half of that, which is what a backup defender in this league...
And in the end the same may be true of Vanney. There were some worrying signs it went deeper, however. Am I the only one who got zero motivation sense from the guy? Kreis at least comes across as...
Teams tend to reflect their manager, and our team is arrogant; from Bradley's declaration that we no longer had defensive issues before the Columbus game, to Jackson's repeated attempts to stretch...
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up for me. The only way he turns into the guy overnight is if we make such substantial improvements to the non-DP roster that the players take care of it themselves. I...
I think Kreis probably turned them down. Read this: http://www.hudsonriverblue.com/2015/11/3/9667754/why-jason-kreis-was-fired
It explains what happened with NYFC, but the content of how the team...
To me, the player quotes and Manning needing an answer as to "why they came out flat" speaks volumes about this team.
We once again hired an inexperienced coach.
We once again tinkered with the...
Are you adding playoffs and friendlies in there, or have they added four games to the season?
How do you figure?
At any given time, there are a hell of a lot more unemployed (or underemployed) coaches than employed. It shouldn't be that hard. Then again, neither should be checking player pedigrees.
Zambrano wants back in. Don't know whether his MLS 1.0 experience is good enough anymore. Certainly has always done well.
But I'd take a gunslinger like Osieck who is used to getting the most out...
THe most successful teams in the league this season, NY Red Bulls and Dallas, had the two lowest payrolls. MLS coaches are a lot more effective when they don't have multiple players on their roster...
Yeah, this, absolutely. His lack of discipline ruined his efficacy.
Almost everything they do and say, ever. Seriously. I can get into the neuroscience of bias, but neurotypical (non-autistic) people make most of their decisions without thinking about them...
NCAA rules need to change. Right now, they can sub in and out whenever, so their players just run constantly at their man mark instead of keeping shape. That's why MLS is so chaotic; no on marks...
I don't think Vanney is a good coach. But he's also early on in his career. I'd be fine with just getting a GM who can scout talent properly, or knows how to hire a fucking scout. This is probably a...
THIS: Vanney played in France. He overestimated the ability of both, probably. And Bez is at least equally to blame, if not totally, for the shit job of scouting these players. When two players show...
With the exception of Stephen Caldwell, we arguably haven't had a player on our roster for two seasons who could start at center back on almost any team in this league. If Perquis isn't good enough...
Somehow I don't think Seba's going to be too unhappy with 1) His most productive professional season, ever and 2) His most lucrative professional season ever. Plus, he'll probably win MVP. If he...
LOL....
