Atlanta fired Heinze today.
Atlanta fired Heinze today.
From the MLSsoccer piece. Sound familiar?Originally Posted by Yohan
But the team flat-lined and injuries piled up. Both were considered in-part due to Heinze’s tactics and man management. Injuries happen though. Atlanta certainly seem to have more injuries than the average team right now, but it can be true that a team can be both overworked and unlucky.
It’s funny because in the other major leagues in the US the networks would think nothing of going into great detail and stripping this guy down to the floorboards for his failures.
Meanwhile, we get sort a polite, surface level analysis suggesting maybe things aren’t all rosy. Then it gets glossed over with a “but hey, but maybe it’s not really his fault”
I think we are going to see managers stop proving how tough they are by excommunicating star players for a while now!
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
Armas is available if they are interested.
Boncagegra is not going to give any manager the control - problem is, Bocanegra isn't all that good.
Heinze withheld water from players?!!!!
Apparently

If true, that explains why they fired him after a training session on Sunday.
Experienced with two established MLS clubs, what's not to like? They should pounce before an EPL club grabs him.
I'm sorry, he'd have to have exceptionally poor judgment to do that. WHO DOES THAT?

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Seriously. It's basic exercise recovery to hydrate. You don't need Javier Perez level degrees to know that!

Looking like anti-vaxx people are not going to get it easier when the border opens up

After the lineman from the Vikings died about fifteen years ago? No one sane or smart. (Edit: Kory Stringer... and it was 21 years ago. Man, I'm old.)

What a dope.
MLS is going to start calling GMs and asking them to pay more attention to their clubs.
Maybe we need the Prem system, where the manager is a football person with a tactical and personnel role, and the coaches are just field work.
Withholding water is like a human rights violation. That's nut job level.
Armas is already very popular in Atlanta, his strategic genius played an important role in Atlanta's march through the 2018 playoffs…

Ouch.
Pretty incisive explanation of his foolishness, however.
I'm betting in that photo, Ryan Meara is staring daggers at Armas' head, not at the camera in the distance.
2021 Canadian Championship unveiled.
Our first match will be between September 15-22 against the winner of CPL club York United and League1 Ontario club Master's Futbol
https://northerntribune.ca/2021-canadian-championship-schedule/
Ooooo......away trip to York U might be on the cards then.
This year’s tournament is single game knockout , based on the schedule I believe the Reds would be the hosts of their opening round match.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Such a distinguished record
I really just want TFC to play the Wanderers away in this tournament some year. It would make my year.
The Canadian championship schedule would need to be tweaked depend how far TFC goes. Schedule congestion will rear its ugly head as well. For the first game against either York or Master's Futbol Academy will be the third game in a run of 5 games in 14 days. If we get past there to the Semi finals, they will have to change the date from either the 28th or 29th as we play Cincinnati on the 29th. If we make it to the final, according to the schedule they have put up that will be 6 games in 15 days in October
RC Lens (Ligue 1) offers €4 million ($4.7M US) for Canadian Tajon Buchanan of New England Revs (previously offered €3.5M and were rejected)
https://www.reddit.com/r/CanadianPL/...d_35m_bid_for/
Curious to see what it takes to get this done. He shows a lot of promise and is still only 22. But we’ve seen other fairly cheap MLS transfers recently.
If you get to $10 million (€8.5) I think it’s a no brainer. But realistically, I think the final price is something like $6M-$7M, so maybe Rens is not far off
MLS front office is nothing if not market savvy. They're going to start rejecting offers under 10M for guys this age pretty soon, just based on what second divisions in Europe are charging now. A promising striker or winger in the Championship or Turkish league or Swiss league is going for well north of $10M now.
Oh, look, you can get a vaccine & a TFC jersey

The Athletic is reporting that an unnamed MLS team has made an approach to interview Robin Fraser for their head coaching job. It has to be TFC, doesn't it?

Or Atlanta, could be either, really. He's highly respected.
Could be Miami, too. Other than Beckham being buddies, Neville must be on paper-thin ice by now.
Nah, Miami is going to be 2007 TFC, early 2000 Colorado rapids level of putting themselves in the ditch. It’s a town that loves grifters
Might be right. Wiebe on Extra Time suggsted Becks just loves him too much to fire him.
Miami will be alright once Messi comes over in a couple years.
