Grabavoy is Kreis' disciple and he is the perfect case, he shows up all over the field to fall down and throw his hands up while standing still.

Frankly, I don't think these star DP's do anything to hurt the growth of the team and league's fan base. They do upset some of the existing fans who are tired of the league being regarded as a retirement league, but they get over it eventually.
Like anything else - all the cool kids who jumped on board from the beginning will jump off the bandwagon when it is no longer cool to support the club.
At that point, the league will have succeeded because casual Americans will have joined in on MLS. It's happening now.

Is it really? Where I live in the U.S. the MLS is a joke. People laugh at MLS. I'm hoping this isn't the case in most of the country though.
Yup. Last game (attacking right to left):
It's always that shape, the "2-3-blob."
Just throw our best five attacking players out there and let them do their thing. IMO, that's Villa, Pirlo, Lampard, Mix, and Poku.
If he was walking down the street very few people would recognize him. So no, not in that regard.
MLS is certainly garnering more notoriety and attention in this country but it's still not taken seriously by most. It's going to take a long time, probably a couple of generations for it to become a powerhouse.
Well said. Kreis deploys a free roaming midfield, the formation is merely a technicality
Based on the amount of press and this forum...he's the 2nd coming. Yes he's probably the most popular Italian player.
Among soccer fans he is, but you have to remember that is maybe 15% of the population. Most people would have no idea who he is.
Yes. But even without the mix pic, Pirlo is not that much taller than Claudio. He maybe the same or shorter.
has to be shopped right? Saw it over on BS

Dammit. lol. I figured as much. The fact there was no name on the jersey among other things gave it away, but I was hoping.
Maybe NYCFC_Dan can muster up some traffic stats here. The Pirlo thread seems to be the most popular one, besides the rumor thread. I'd be interested to see if there is a correlation between new membership and a potential or official Pirlo signing.
In fairness, Bill De Blasio walks down the street and only 50% of the population notices him.
New Yorkers are just weird. It really isn't a celeb-fuck type of town. Unless it's Derek Jeter.
This is not directed at you
The Toe you're a gentleman and a scholar! thanks for sharingIt's weird cause Carlo Laudisa from Gazzetta dello Sport are the one of the two Italian outlets that said he was waiting until Jan/Feb. There the only ones to say that. NYCFCWATCH needs to learn to figure out how to cite sources and follow along. They think they have breaking news, but no, they don't. Sorry, almost bothers me as much as Hey Baby lol.
