    There have been at least a half-dozen pairs of free tickets available on the Reddit TFC page each week. Unsellable, basically.

    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.

    https://youtu.be/xa2IsuoTr4Y?t=121

    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.

    What a thriller.

    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

    An entire article predicated on the erroneous belief that MLSE owns the stadium.

    Not sure if this twitter post is at all reliable. TFC to leave USSDA and MLS academy leagues?

    No idea if reliable but aside from that, wouldn't L1O and OPDL be more competitive? I really don't know but it seems it should be.

    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.

    A study (grain of salt time, as I haven't read it) says 88% of U.S. soccer fans want promotion/relegation.

    idk what you and 223 are seeing because March 18th I pretty easily sold my tickets, and I've also sold my tickets for at least four sets of matches thereafter. Am I just finding suckers on Ticketmaster or is 223 just talking out of the wrong side of the body?

    Literally all you need to see that this is kind of garbage is that it's largely backed by the NASL and that it's posted by a twitter called Reform US Soccer which could NEVER be biased

    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

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

    Maybe I'm just a magician but I got them off my chest at $25/seat, it wasn't that hard at all. I also went to the first game.
