Atlanta confirms 22k season tix sold... and a 3k GA supporter's section
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano

LAFC sell naming rights to stadium for 100 million
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...o-name-stadiumBanc of California, whose 41-year-old leader has almost doubled its stock price and assets since the start of 2015, agreed to pay $100 million over 15 years to slap its name on Los Angeles’s new soccer stadium, according to a person with knowledge of the agreement.
So apparently its the fact our game against NYRB will be on Fox nationally.Originally Posted by OgtheDim
Fox is using MLS as filler if an area doesn't have an NFL game.
Kinda big in its own way. If they did this throughout Sept and Oct., a lot of people would see MLS games down there and it would grow interest.
So, that Sunday, everybody smile for the camera's - people in the middle of somewhere USA will be watching.
On a somewhat more somber note...

Won't be called up to USNT for qualifiers according to MLS article.
Now look for jozy to be called up.
Both a healthy Deuce and Jozy would be called up. Jozy not being called up in the past has always been on health. Plus the Reds have the international break off.Won't be called up to USNT for qualifiers according to MLS article.
Now look for jozy to be called up.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
On a better note
Jozy to Captain USMNT

With Jason deVos being named Director of Development for the CSA, he's leaving TSN, which means someone will have to move into the analyst role alongside Luke Wileman to form TSN's top MLS commentary team. I hope it's Kristian Jack.
Yes PLEASE.
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
I was thinking yesterday that a short 3-4 week injury to Giovinco could be a blessing in disguise. I think it would be overly optimistic to think we could carry this hot streak on straight through to the end of the season and into the playoffs. We have a new player we need to integrate into the team so this is the perfect time to hit the reset button on everything. We're sitting pretty in the standings and a good late season humbling should be a healthy reminder of last seasons playoff run.
Only thing about integrating Cooper - he's off with Panama right now.
Absolutely agree with the post!
In fact, I was thinking of the bolded on the way down to the game Saturday....as much as I love the hot streak TFC is/was on, I also wouldn't mind TFC to shit their pants once or so before the season ended just to keep things in reality.
They are in a comfortable enough spot now that just making the playoffs should be done, but this is the chance to really see what the team is made of.
Should they do well in Seba's absence confidence, particularly in the younger guys, will be sky high going in to playoffs.
If there's a little slide now, well its a sign everyone will need to do better, and Seba will be coming back with a few games to spare before playoffs to hopefully pick things up again.
I completely agree now is the time to truly see our depth. A stronger couple of games will just sky rocket everyone's confidence going forward. I knew we weren't going to win every game coming down the stretch, I just wish it was ANY other team that broke our unbeaten streak.
Apparently, Bradley is effective

Want to know what the start chart means.....see this
Would guess they will want another Canadian accent - Sutton maybe?
NYCFC losing again to Orlando - keep it up Kaka!
They are losing to DC no?
You right - brain fart there!

Global warming is real, but I'm not a fan of soccer analytics.
Red card has been rescinded for the Impact player Mallace.

Anyone got a stat on how many have been rescinded so far?
So something is going on with Fox and ESPN and MLS. They are trying to create event TV it seems.
They just rearranged the times for all of the games in week 33 to be simultaneous.
From this release http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/0...neous-kickoffs
We are away to Montreal - unlikely to be moved for ESPN or Fox.On Friday, Major League Soccer announced that the league is pushing up the kickoff times for all matches in Week 33, the penultimate week of the regular season. All 10 matches are scheduled for Sunday, October 16.
The five games involving Eastern Conference teams will now kick off at 5 pm ET instead of 3 pm ET, with the Western Conference games following at 5 pm ET instead of 7 pm ET.
Both Week 33 and Decision Day – on the last week of the season – will feature flex scheduling allowing national broadcasters to decide which matches to telecast late in the season, bringing the fans the most compelling games as the dust settles over the playoff landscape.
All other games will be showcased, on both weekends, across network and league digital platforms to ensure fans do not miss a minute of the action.
Say wha?? lol....editing fail at MLS......are they all at the same time or not?The five games involving Eastern Conference teams will now kick off at 5 pm ET instead of 3 pm ET, with the Western Conference games following at 5 pm ET instead of 7 pm ET.
Unless I'm missing something, wouldn't have been a better idea to schedule the last 2 weeks on say a Saturday as opposed to going head to head with the NFL?
So both east and west are at 5? or has east been moved to 3 and west is at 5? Very well could change my montreal plans for the better.
Fox is inserting games into markets where no NFL game is being shown. Basically MLS is becoming filler.
BTW, Saturdays are US college football day - starts at noon and goes to near midnight. More eyeballs then the NFL.
They did an edit
Eastern Games start at 3
The five games involving Eastern Conference teams will now kick off at 3 pm ET instead of 5 pm ET, with the Western Conference games following at 5 pm ET instead of 7 pm ET.
ah I see.....I'm surprised there's actually markets in the US where FOX or an affiliate does not always show NFL on Sunday.....
Yeah I know Saturdays are NCAA.....just figured it might've made more sense to have the MLS go Saturday at say 5 (East Conf) and 7 (West Conf).....most NCAA is done for the day by then.....Notre Dame usually kicks off at 3 if they're at home, but after that not many big teams play unless there's a big prime time game.....
EDIT:....ha.....ND happens to kick off at 7:30pm on Oct 15, and OSU@Wisc at 8 that night.....I guess no time is ideal for MLS once NFL/NCAA seasons start. Better off trying to make an even out of it and capture the MLS diehards....

So they are doing the same thing as last year "decision day" just moving it two hours ahead?
Betya they call it 'Moving Day'.
