Right, and you have to multiply the challenges of other leagues by a much larger number due to the cap and perceptions about MLS, etc.

Yep, this is the truth. While I think I’m probably the one of the ones who made the Manchester City comparisons in the first place, it’s not necessary to have a highly-paid squad to play possession...

Right, hence general consensus.

Here’s last year’s thread on the subject (which comes up every year).

https://www.reddit.com/r/MLS/comments/9b0vd1/shield_or_cup/

Do any teams prioritize the Shield over the Cup from the start...

Yeah, not really.

As much as anyone says they care about the Shield the only people who care in general are the fanbase who won the Shield but not the Cup in a specific year, bonus points for...

Expanded playoffs meant you had to be pretty bad to not make it in, and MLS’ format always depended on getting hot at the right time (which was obviously towards the end of the season if winning the...

Vanney is like an anime villain hiding his true power level and playing 37-dimensional string theory snakes and ladders.

The final game of the regular season, we need a win to make the playoffs,...

The worst part is that this will probably blow over and someone is going to hire him, especially if he issues an apology while wearing a half-and-half apolitical military glorific— err, appreciation...

Imagine that. Mourinho is available and TFC supporters would be content to have someone so fucking stupid they’d be willing to lose their shit and ruin their career because they felt the refereeing...

Thank god, we can hire a guy with a history of anger management issues and outbursts whose most recent firing comes from breaking one of MLS’ current hot topic rules in the most egregious way...

Do you actually read what you write? I found a team with worse ppg over the last 19. There are others.

What do I win, since we were betting?

I’ll take that bet.

Cincinnati must be at like -36 ppg and the shit they call chili is literally shit. Toronto doesn’t even have its own chili and ours is still better than Cincinnati’s. Even if...

While I have my suspicions about some of the players, I agree. We have a relatively good squad that is underperforming (value for money notwithstanding). When that happens, typically the coach gets...

The negativity circulating prior to this season starting and issues with player attitudes demonstrates that maybe not every “bad attitude” player left (or that they were even wrong).

I hope Mullins can do well here. The guy is really motivated to succeed and has a great work rate. He definitely looked better today than he did in Ottawa.

Yeah, I don’t associate you with much negativity.

In any ca色， tonight was yet another lackluster performance in a must-win match. Even for those of us who defend Vanney (myself included),...

I’m laughing while imagining all the MLSE suits hot off an NBA championship rubbing their hands together thinking about the money a TFC playoff game would bring in from ticket sales.

To be fair, they’re currently paying a lot of money to NOT win.

MLS is NOT a league where the sole purpose is making money. MLS franchises, especially in big markets, are investments.

Why...

Couldn’t agree more.

It’s only a “sure thing” when the names are big and you’re building from scratch like Atlanta. Take a South American coach and throw them into this team and I’m not sure it would make as big an...

Was it Doyle or something? I tried copying/pasting the link earlier but couldn’t get the whole thing copied on my phone. I could be mistaken though.

I’m obviously not the most ardent Chapman supporter, but I agree. It’s unfortunate, because he’s clearly capable of contributing in a specific role.

Yep, I’m well aware. It sucks that we could basically draw waiver straws each year and still not get rid of the dead weight at this point.

You can get an incompetent backup CB for MLS minimum so there’s virtually no point in keeping Zavaleta.

We don’t even have a backup winger. We have Sberg who is young, raw, and probably going to...
