man looking at all these pics of them today on Twitter and Instagram some of them It takes me second to realize who is who, some have let their hair grow longer so they did not dare do the DIY haircuts and others like taty change hair color.
arrrgghh beat me by a second...lol
anyway...Ibeagha looks like he really struggling lol
ibby looking like he forgot how to play... showing his lack of quality here for all to see. everyone else is tapping away like it's nothing at all and he can barely manage two consecutive volleys. smh...
There's no question he's the weakest in the defensive line... But he has shown in the past immense quality when he needed to stand up. Give him some time to catch up and we'll see if it's the same then. Ibby is definitely a starting-caliber defender on a bunch of MLS teams. (okay, maybe not top-half table teams but shhh)
physicality is his game though (headers and stuff) not the ball on feet, but we all knew this ( at least i thought we did). this is why he is a back up on our team.
dont' get me wrong. ibby plays an important role of giving our main guys a break now and then and stepping up when it counts. his weakness has always been ball at his feet and why i cringe every time he gets the ball cause he's clearly in panic mode.
but, as you all have pointed out, he plays his role and usually that is as a backup with the ability to do some physical 1v1 defending (unless it's vs Jozy where it's just giving up a PK) with a bit of speed to cover. I would like him to improve his footwork though since it's such an important skill for our style of play. i just wasn't expecting him to be _this_ bad... I'm pretty confident I could do better and I haven't played or trained in a decade...
Texas to allow 25% fans at outdoor pro events
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has said the state will allow outdoor stadiums to host fans up to 25% of their normal capacity. Leagues will have to apply to state health officials to be allowed to have fans.
That is Dallas' average attendance any way.Texas to allow 25% fans at outdoor pro events

Based on the reporting as to what the MLSPA offered and where MLS was, this seems like a heavy-handed and ridiculous negotiating tactic. The two sides are incredibly close. Instead of meeting halfway, MLS has decided they want the PA to just reach their position. Hopefully this is an empty threat, because the two sides are really close and it seems silly to destroy the league over such small differences.
so reddit chatter saying that its not fully related to the orlando tournament. its the CBA. It was never officially ratified so the owners are pulling back on some of the handshake agreement. apparently the revenue share percentage is to go down from the future TV deal. there was also salary reduction but i read that they wanted it to go even further down than what MLSPA agreed on (17% salary reduction i think i read was agreed but MLS wanted more i think ). so they using the Covid situation to not give what all they promised.
Plus, the Covid situation gets wrapped up in it. For example, at one point the players were hoping to have a little less economic pain now and spread some of it to future years. So, that brings the Covid negotiations into the CBA & vice versa because the new CBA needs to reflect that change.
