General MLS Discussion

Watching this game I am wondering what LAFC is doing to do so well at the start of the season that we're not.

Not playing road games against two of the better teams in their conference.

Seriously -- road teams suck in MLS always, and when your first two games are both on the road, and both against two teams expected to be near the top of the standings, you're going to look worse than you really are.

Funny responses in the replies from other clubs.
 
Because of the rebrand, the Chicago Fire changed its official twitter hashtag from #cf97 to #cffc. #cffc now generates the new logo and #cf97 has no symbol associated with it.

But fans of the Cage Fury Fighting Championship also use #cffc. But the Fire "own" it and any time a Cage Fury Fighting fan uses it the cryptic Chicago Fire logo -- that nobody likes -- appears. I don't even know if they know what it is. Also, the Fire official account, their supporter groups, and almost everyone else needs to use 2 hashtags because #cffc hasn't caught on and it just confuses people so their tweets usually have both #cf97 and #cffc.

Every time you think we can't get any more 2020, we do. As 2020 goes, this is small time, but it really is perfect 2020.

Lol, this is pretty funny. Just did some searching on twitter.


ETA: Apparently, embedded tweets won't include the symbol, but if you view the tweet I linked on Twitter, it's there.
 
Is that similar to what bundesliga does? (minus the 49% rule) Anyone can own part equity of a team? Or is this completely different?

no, its a private equity firm can now be part owner ( or full owner? no full details on this) of an MLS team.

but can't anyone be a "private equity firm"? no clue how any of that stuff works; frankly hate the finance world
