2020 Roster Discussion
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
Exactly. This is one thing I learned from the Soccer in the City pod this week. MLS runs that game and will determine venue. I am sure NYC is involved and has a say, but the final decision will be up to MLS.
One thing that means is that we shouldn't read too much into the fact that the Club announced stadium plans for the two playoff games and not for the MLS Cup.
gotcha. So it would be held in Atlanta if NYCFC hosts. Good to know.
While MLS controls the game, it's pretty set in stone that LAFC, should they make the final, would host. If they don't, and we do, then MLS will still need to select a venue that gives us "home" field advantage. In that case, I think they'd give us RBA for the drama of it all!
The Soccer Don
I think it’s more appropriate to say that he “appears” for stretches
True, but really it’s more of just a brief cameo, bordering on an uncredited extra role.
We will have to see the players available, but I can't see anyone on our roster that we wouldn't protect getting taken. Ben Sweat and Tony Rocha aren't Latiff Blessing.

Not Sands.
whoops. Meant sweat.
i could have done without the breaking sands’ arm thing.
The full list of players who could be taken in the expansion draft include:
JPT, Sweat, Stuver, Barraza, Ibeagha, GMS, Rocha, Miller, and Medina
Out of these players, we can protect ONE additional player. It'll be interesting who the team chooses to protect. Our only true backup CB (Ibeagha)? or our new wingers who we spent a year trying to sign (GMS)? or our non-contributing DP (Medina)? This is also assuming ofori and parks don't sign on in the off season.. and if they do, would they be automatically protected? not sure.
Tough call for me, especially with Ibeagha and Rocha stepping up their game these last few matches. GMS has lots of potential but he's just not showing it yet. If we lose sweat, we also lose our only backup LWB.
