Good on Vanney for standing up for Jozy and Michael, and good on Bradley for just brushing it off. I never could stand Lalas. I always thought he was an ignorant blowhard, I'm glad he proved me right.Originally Posted by OgtheDim

Moor and Beita will be two of the top 4 FAs in MLS, per Tenorio

“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
IIRC Moor is already in talks with TFC for a contract extension?
“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
I hope Moor stays, important piece in the back
Morrow is up for negotiation as well. He's eligible for FA.
Actually TFC holds an option on Morrow which they can exercise (club option). Of course they could renegotiate a longer deal if they wanted.
If they don't exercise it or negotiate a new contract Morrow becomes a FA.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
^Morrow would be the number one FA in the league, if he were available
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
I'd be a little less concerned with Morrow since we have an up and comping LWB in Edwards... Always nice to have depth, but it does make him a little more expendable.
OTOH, right backs seem to be really hard to find in MLS, as are CBs, but with the cap being what it is, it wouldn't surprise me to lose one of them. If they show up as unprotected in the expansion draft, I guess we'll know.
Somebody on twitter watching the SJE game pointed this out and he was doing it again last night.
When Bono is kicking the ball from hand, his plant foot is outside the box.
He's going to get called on that eventually.
Thought the same but looking closer he definitely seems to release the ball before the line and before the foot outside is planted
(though the angle I am looking at now doesn't show that as clearly)

To me it is very close but it looks like when his plant foot is down the ball is out of his hand. Again it is extremely close but I think its legal
The location of the plant foot is irrelevant. Is his hand touching the ball while the ball is 100% outside of the penalty area line?
After watching it again it is not that close. He is still well within the box when the ball leaves his hand

I would buy into a post season full on cup style playoffs lasting 3 weeks and with one off games.
They just need to cut down a bit. The season is just too damn long.
Unfortunately someone will say less dates = less revenue at head office I'm sure. But there's an argument for more quality over quantity here. Also those mid week games are attendance nightmare for a lot of the lesser teams. Cutting some of those might not be so bad.
Ives reporting that Revs fired Jay Heaps tonight.
Losing 7-0 couldn't have helped.

This is pretty cool if you can get past the fact they chose the corniest song of all time to be their anthem. kudos to the twin cities.

speaking of anthems, someone has gone through the trouble of tracking down the team anthems the league office made every team come up with. Woah nelly were some of those bad.

Typical TFC situation, we play Atlanta after he's expected back.
It says at least 3 weeks so it might be more. In any case by then Atlanta will probably well over-worked. I'm not scared.
Non-contact hamstring. 3 weeks is generous. As had been said they have a bunch of games without any rest. They have not rotated at all and already have tired legs so we shall see.
Rumors out of Montreal Biello is done at the end of the season and Alessandro Nesta will be the next coach of the Impact
I can see Biello out, but Nesta in? Weird.
Road Games:
2013 - Montréal , 2014 - Orlando (Disney Classic), Montréal
2015 - Columbus, New England, Montréal
2016 - NYCFC (Leg 2 Conference Semis), Montréal (Leg 1 Conference Final)
2017 - Ottawa (Leg 1 Canadian Championship Semi), DCU, Red Bulls (Leg 1 Conference Final), Columbus (Leg 2 Conference Final)
2019 - Montréal, NYCFC (Eastern Conference Semi @ Citi Field), Seattle (MLS Cup Final)
That would be soooooo Joey but its also one report from an NYCFC journo.
Not surprising that Nesta looking to move, things getting very murky for NASL teams right now.
NYC has 5 sites they are looking at for a stadium, including out of the city Belmont Park. (The Article may or may not be Paywalled)

So Dallas might have used an inelligible player and be docked the points from their tie against Orlando.

Chicago lost a big part of their attack - De Leeuw with a busted ACL.
Getting my popcorn ready while we watch this one unfold. It would shake the table a fair bit. Petke more so than anyone else wants this to happen. Limp Act would be even worse off
