It's so low on the importance scale. For anyone to be keeping score of which holidays they send out messages for just seems like a waste of time.
LOL. Happy when actual humans wish me a Happy Passover. I just don't particularly care whether NYCFC, the Yankees, or the Rangers do it.
New Presidents, new GMs, new coaches, but the wheels of failure at US Soccer keep spinning.
what can we possibly ask Lee that hasn't already been asked of Sims?
Questions will basically be about the roster and I'm guessing it'll be mostly generic answers. Perhaps a hint/confirmation that we WILL be adding 2-3 players in the summer? That would be comforting to know. Even better if he can confirm that at least one of them is a DP signing.
Do you honestly believe that the current roster can contend for an MLS Cup? If yes, why are you lying to us? If no, why are you doing so it will be?
You're writing this, yet you're on twitter blasting the MLS experts for picking us to miss or be barely in the playoffs. Which one is it?
Wow, wow, wow. Who's this guy on Twitter you're talking about?
The only people who can think we're crap is us!
Redesigned MLS website still has no Form Guide. Also
- The Opta field chart of passes, shots, crosses, blocks, tackles, etc is gone and I don't think it's coming back and that will be missed.
- There is no boxscore. There is a Players stats page, which has some added useful info, but is also missing some including an indication of who started (which you can't always tell by minutes played).
- The Match Summary is harder to read and pick out goals from Cards from substitutions. The info is there, but not as clear and I don't think it is something that just takes getting used to.
- Every single highlight video is preceded by the same 15-second SeatGeek ad. This was sometimes the case on the site in prior years, but not to this extent. I keep my Privacy Badger extension off for the site because it interferes with fantasy and Pick-6, but I will turn it on and off as necessary to avoid watching the same commercial several times over and over just to watch highlights from a handful of games.
I'd like to say they are still in the process of adding more features but as it is right now, I agree, it's not very good and information is definitely more difficult to parse.
I don't even think the redesign looks all that modern either so it was a poor tradeoff
I do like how they implemented goal videos on the Match Summary. That is an improvement. But almost everything else is worse. For example on the game stats/players page, the spacing between players is so big it is not possible to see all the players for just one team on a single screen without scrolling, unless I take the page magnification down to 90%. Who designs with that as a goal? On the old site you could see full game rosters, with stats, for both squads on a single screen without making the type tiny.
Better than the 3 guys you pointed me to last time? One of whom responded (though his promise the form guide is returning has not yet panned out).
