    Don't get me wrong - I don't like to spend one night away from my family.  They do spend a fair chunk of time away but Rom is a single guy - 25 and he's talking of international retirement. 

     

    its probably not this deep but with all the talk about Pogba and Jose at the moment, maybe he wanted some news headlines of his own so spouted this shite off?

    seems dumb to hate everyone from portugal just because on ronaldo.  if true i have even less respect for the man.  let's hope atletico win the league this year with zidane gone and messi pouting.

    Gomes has claimed Messi isn'tt as good as Ronaldo too.

    Messi has claimed Gomes leaks stuff to Ronaldo as well, basically, Messi is a prick and Gomes is boss.

    he's not brazilian or uruguayan (the argentines arch-nemesis) not sure why being from portugal (across the ocean) would matter.

     

    honestly the more i hear and see from messi the more respect i have for ronaldo.  what you see is what you get with cristiano, whereas messi seems to be super passive-aggresive, a trait i can't stand in people.

    Who else is from Portugal who is a direct rival of Messi? hint: you've mentioned him in the same post :lol:

    i agree, but the owners love the american setup because they can never get relegated and their investment stays profitable.  they like the playoff system, more matches and revenue the greedy bastards.  the draft is stupid agreed.

     

    they will never change that stuff, the MLS is making money and that's all they care about (just like other american sports, business first, sport second)

    Shame that, it is usually the butt of jokes in footballing terms but the MLS is decent, I can only seeing it getting better and better if they would do a proper league system.

    Yep he’s new boss same as the old boss.  I don’t think he’s ever played soccer he’s a lawyer or something, only in America.  

     

    Tried to sign my son up (he’s 4) and it’s 50 bucks  plus a late fee (just found out about the league) plus we gotta buy the kit and cleats.  The kid is 4.  I got to invest around 150 to watch him and his buds play?  At this age I wouldn’t even call it that, it’s a blob of kids that moves with the ball all kicking each other.

     

    also it’s organized by some kids dad, there’s no structure to the youth system until maybe middle school when kids can join “travel” teams where they hit the road to play other teams that are staffed with better players.  

     

    We needed  new leader to bring fresh ideas.

    I think the MLS needs a big change, you need a proper football league, not a layout similar to NFL, why would a American football fan watch a sport with the same league layout when they could just watch their own sport?

    Introduce a proper 20 team league, have a secondary league which you can be relegated to and promoted from, create a better competition. That will bring audiences in, which in turn will create a better love for the sport.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but the way I understand the MLS is that its split into western and eastern divisions, the top teams go on to verse each other in knockout games and the winner wins the MLS cup? If so this is what needs binning off. Save stuff like that for a league cup competition.

    Do they still do drafts? Bin that off. Save that for other American sports. Bring in what the rest of the world do with football, have leagues, have something to aim for instead of just finishing first. The top 4 teams qualify for the north American champions league, bottom 3 get relegated.

    Just my thoughts on it anyway, its probably been mentioned before but if the MLS insist on doing it differently to everyone else then I can only see that as a problem.

    Great window tbf- I know it’s a lot of players again but we had no choice, we were desperate for at least 3 defenders, a centre mid with vision and some pace up front and we got it.

    Besic, Sandro and Bolasie need shipping out though. How many of Koemans signings would be left if they all went ( I’m aware Besic wasn’t his) Pickford, Schneiderlin and Keane would it be?

    Gana and Sig too
