Did anyone watch LAFC-Vancouver in Champions League? Vancouver played well in the first half and was right in iT.
Then Denis Bouanga decided to end all that.

Dude is a MONSTER at this level. Between his speed, shot power and decision making, he should be playing in the Premiership of La Liga for a fucking joke. Like, he's so much better as a player right now than Patrick Bamford at Leeds.
He'd score double digits at that level, I think. At St. Etienne in Ligue 1, he had 28 goals in 110 games FROM LEFT WING. LA plays him as a wide forward, basically, and he's just too good for MLS. He has the same kind of speed, cannon shot and skill as Fede, less strength but more speed.
If he doesn't win either the Golden Boot or MVP, I will be surprised.
Former TFC loanee John Bostock features in this quite excellent in-the-stands view of the thrilling Wrexham/Notts County battle today.

Cool! Thanks for posting it.

Some of you may not have noticed/heard but SB Nation, which ran blogs about MLS teams like Waking the Red, closed those MLS shops down a few months ago.
Waking the Red
Dirty South Soccer
Sounder at Heart
LAG Confidential
All had no home
Here is where those people went

And.... this shit is why untrained or inexperienced individuals shouldn't play journalist:

An entire article predicated on the erroneous belief that MLSE owns the stadium.
Eeek.. that's embarassing.
Where is TFC in this graph?

Oh boy! Thanks. I'm getting @#$%&! old; wearing my reading glasses and still missed it!
Not sure if this twitter post is at all reliable. TFC to leave USSDA and MLS academy leagues?

So in reaction to the "yes, I said a racist word and I'm sorry" incident, there was only a 6 game suspension for the player & NO suspension for the coach who refused to take him off the pitch even when his own players said the racist fool needed to be subbed out.
As a number of people had said this basically says
"No tolerance for racism" = 6 game suspension
SG's at NYRB are not pleased and are walking out

^ This might be a whole lot more effective if the typical NYRB game wasn't a wall of empty seats staring back at you to begin with.
For those of you wondering why people are upset about the racism thing,

A study (grain of salt time, as I haven't read it) says 88% of U.S. soccer fans want promotion/relegation.
Have you read it?
EDIT: I get your central thesis, it's just never wise to encourage ignoring information then commenting on it. Studies are always "backed" by someone, they're not always biased.
Having said, this is a consultancy study, by Deloitte and Touche, designed to reach a conclusion.
It's a pretty thin study, 1,000 respondents on pro reg and some heavy-handed arguments about long-term financial benefits.

Anything put out by Tinfoil Teddy Westervelt needs to be taken with more than a grain of salt. Only the Kool-Aid drinkers take that fool seriously!

Random twitter accounts aren't generally great sources for breaking inside info news
What are you selling yours on ticketmaster.ca for? First two games which were cold, I saw them going for dirt cheap on ticketmaster.ca kept waiting for the price to drop even further. Got them for like $10 a few hours before kickoff and had so many available at those prices that I had so much choice which was why I waited to close to kickoff to get them.
Tickets for today's game (with much better weather) obviously don't have that issue and prices are much higher since demand is higher since its not freezing
Missed those tech reporters leaks. Apart from the every person social media chatter, the latest reporting also just seemed to have indicated issues. May make one wonder why this notion hasn't tracked as much as the negative reporting. Though was aware of a meeting between Apple and MLB regarding the progress of their multi-view game screen feature initiative and its roll-out to their, potentially other platforms; maybe one day even EPL. Are you referencing, what I could find, these sorts of, the following, leaks/tweets...?

Because made up negative news generates engagement, it's why we should focus on sources with credibility. Anyone can make up anything they want on twitter, and they often do. If it's a random twitter accounts breaking it it isn't worth thinking about, basically
Twitter is NOT real life!!!!!

Anyone else looking forward to Club foot struggling to beat Vaughan? Nice to have a Canadian championship with so many teams involved.
