Re: MLS Discussion Thread

I’ll be curious if FIFA says anything. They were upset when MK Dons moved. I believe they said it would never happen again but I know MLS is set up different than the other countries.

As far as I’m aware the MK Dons/Wimbledon thing was a very specific situation and a loophole was found etc. Wasn’t just fifa that was mad, the whole country was pissed.

In American sports though, teams getting moved has happened since the beginning really. I think fifa wouldn’t be able to do much, even if they wanted to.

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

And MLS is single entity, which is much different than other leagues. So I would guess that plays into this as well. It's 1 giant company and each club is just a "division" of it (to use a very naive analogy).

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

Why are they wanting to build a new stadium? The current one isn't even 20 years old and seems to be just fine. Is the location terrible? If so, why did they build there in the first place?

20 years old isn’t old for Europe, but it’s old for us, especially in the MLS where the older stadiums were built sort of cheaply and not really with the same kind of knowledge and planning level of European teams.

Crew’s stadium is pretty trash compared to most of the MLS these days, and the location is pretty bad as well. General consensus is that there are nicer HS stadiums in Columbus than the one Crew play in.

So yeah they actually do need a new stadium, but letting them move the team would set a terrible precedent.

Agreed. I hope the voice of reason takes over in this situation, and things are resolved.

Re: MLS Discussion Thread

Gonna be a wild final day of season.

Will TFC set new mls record for points?
3 teams battling for final playoff spot in west
3 teams battling for 1st in west
Very unlikely scenario, but small chance Columbus goes from 5th to 2nd in East.
Outside of TFC in 1st and Red Bulls 6th, no other spot in mls is secured


I'm saying Portland wins the West, NYfc gets 2nd in East and SJ with their - 22GD makes playoffs.
