No point selling him before the World Cup. Not like his value is going to go down if he doesn't have a great tournament, but it'll shoot up if he has a good one.

I explained the "Real" part of "Real Salt Lake" and apparently, the "Sporting" part of "Sporting Kansas City" comes from the fact that it was planned to develop into a sport club rather than just a football club, similar to Sporting CP etc. They also have lacrosse and rugby teams at KC.

Ehbes, as much as I hate the Pats, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that stadium.

its what that stadium represents, owners who don't give a rats ass about the club. (yes i know gareth you have infinitely worse owners)

in the semi finals of the playoffs there were football lines and faded patriots logos everywhere. not to mention the fact that some players refuse to play at gilette because of the turf. they actually have to close off sections of the stadium and work with camera angles to make it seem there are more people there.

Liverpool seemingly do this a lot. Agree with you, don't see why Soton would be interested before the WC.

That's a par lol. Tbf though, if I owned an NFL team, I'm not building another stadium for no shitty MLS team, regardless of how many times Taylor Twellman was gonna play there.

Best thing about MLS is the American commentary, they get so excited, it's like having a 10 year old who's had too much fizzy juice comment on it :cornlol:
