24 of 30 by my count.

You sir are correct. I edited for mathematical accuracy.

 

[Ulrich]

he would not of been here for this game anyway.

Details, details.....

 

[Ulrich]

Can we sign Robben on a 1-day?

He’d fit right in on this team’s front line with his hairline.

Nothing shakes the retirement league moniker like signing a RETIRED player.

 

[Revfugee]

Right? MLS could not have asked for a better lead in for their RedBull game.

The Bad Marketing is not MLS. It’s FIFA allowing their final to fall on the same day as CONCACAF’s and CONMEBOL’s. There was by all accounts no communication or coordination on this, which the women justifiably interpreted as a diss.

Turns out to be a huge positive, in my eyes, as it's pretty clear that in this country nobody gives a shit about the Copa America or gold cup.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I officially rescind my very serious and thoughtful idea.

Sorry I debunked an idea you spent hours of analysis on play stats, transfer costs and chemistry concerns. To be fair, it took me an equal amount of time to concoct my original retort.

Sorry doesn’t reimburse me for the flights to Munich.

I actually think the problem is NOT that the finals are all on the same day. It’s HOW that happened.

It makes sense to me for the women’s final to be the main event of a big soccer Sunday. But nobody really intended that. Instead, both men’s events blundered into this schedule by not paying any attention to what the women were doing, and that was just disrespectful.

Still trying to understand why it's disrespectful for the men to play inferior competitions later in the day on the same day.

What are they complaining about?

Not to mention, the NWSL played a national tv game on the day of the men's final last year.

This "outrage" is total bullshit

Only our beloved club would schedule a major fan event in downtown NYC that spans the time THEY WILL BE PLAYING AN IMPORTANT HOME GAME 10 MILES AWAY!!

I’m not sure they could have foreseen the staggering lack of luster in the men’s competitions.

 

[dummyrun]

Yeah at a certain point, it's just patronizing us. Replace the MLS anthem with a medley of branch songs and call it a day.

But how's that gonna sell merch?

Mind boggling until realizing that the club has had an epiphany that they can go after the larger base of soccer fans that have absolutely zero interest in MLS and would never buy a ticket to NYCFC. It’s defeatist on one hand and entrepreneurial on the other.

Total genius if they have an effective strategy to get casual folks to leave the party and hop the train to Yankee stadium!

My soccer on television grievance is having no games on yesterday or today. After almost a month of daily soccer I'm suffering withdrawal.
