the allocation money additions for new teams really screwed over NYC and OCSC.
The eye test during Mexico's matches in the World Cup makes a strong case that he may be the best player on El Tri as well, though I suppose some might counter with "Chucky" Lozano. But in every Mexico match I watched I was continually impressed by Vela.
Hands down there, too, for me.
I don't think I quite understood how much LAFC is annoying me until I read this and started grinning at the possibility that they forfeit for something so stupid.
Repped for irrational annoyance, even if I disagree that they are annoying. They play prettier football than ATL. Actually, maybe the prettiest in the league.
They play great ball, and they annoy the hell out of me. They have a nice shiny new stadium, great uniforms, a knowledgeable coach out of the gate, and they got the most roster help of any expansion team ever, and that last point pisses me off. The last thing I wanted was for them to win any hardware this season. Hell, they even lucked out with the Nguyen “lottery” to get better. Make them go through a little internal turmoil before achieving greatness: have a coaching scandal, or disgruntled players they can’t move, or maybe their new signings drain their TAM/GAM only to find out the players are lemons and don’t gel, or maybe that team hawk that flies before the match attacks the team bench..... I don’t know..... but even though them winning helps us and they’d look good in the CCL, I hope they get knocked out on this rule enforcement (if true).
Not sure what the holdup is on this - don’t teams have to submit paperwork ahead of time for the players’ cards? And in doing so everybody’s status is known? If those two have green cards, it would be known to the officials, but from that twitter post it sure seems like there’s more investigating going on.....
Midas is right. It's wholly irrational and non-substantive. For what it's worth,
