Was watching an interview on golazo or another show and they said they asked sahin about gio and where he is in the plans. Sahin said he absolutely loved the way gio plays and trains it isn’t about his talent level or work rate it has been all about his fitness levels. If gio stays healthy he has a place on the pitch with sahin as manager.
Because MLS sucks
can you turn up the intro music i can barely hear it
You think we can get Nathaniel Brown?
I don’t watch MLS final. I have skipped many USMNT games after COPA. I been watching USWNT and NWSL highlights. I watched NWSL final. NWSL final viewership drew 967,900 viewers. MLS final had 468,000 viewers. US Men’s soccer is suck now. Not exciting. No superstars. US women are full of global superstars. I think US men’s soccer really needs to work hard. Audience is earned not granted.
I really loved the chemistry between Cuenca and Antonee on that left side of defense as a Fulham fan despite them each being partially culpable for both of Liverpool's goals. Lukic and Berge were suspect defensively in transition all match. I hope Antonee sticks around for the rest of the season and then moves to Liverpool if they are really so all-in on him.
Clint Dempsey has always been the most reasonable American Soccer force, both on and off the pitch.
Alert:: The Osasuna B vs Barca B highlights this week on YT are a Diego Kochen highlight reel. Check 'em out!
While Arriola is/was probably not of the quality that we want for the USMNT given the current player pool, I think his heart for playing for the national team and story of coming through Tijuana is inspiring, and I was gutted for him not to go to the WC because of the role he had played to that point. There was something to be said for what he offered as a sub that could change the tempo/completion of a game. Line I said, I agree that the long-term quality was not there, but, from a narrative perspective, I really felt for him.
Robinson is balling like fire in Europe, gio Rena better get physical otherwise somebody gonna take his place in world 2026 world cup
No one is watching MLS cause they have the dumbest greedy based logic. Whoever thought that was a good idea clearly has no idea where MLS sits in terms of quality, I honestly don't even think the EPL would do well with that model since Europeans are spoiled with how they do TV deals there. USA == land of the greedy
Lalas had been injecting that Jim Crow/ Epstein bleach
Is it pochs job to recruit? Isn’t that the GMs job?
I don't understand why Gio and Brandt cannot be on the field together in a 4-3-2-1 or similar. I think they would work well together and cause havoc.
Make MLS and all sports affordable again! Then watch viewer numbers rise!
Put matches on YouTube for free… and viewership increases
Regarding Gio to MLS, it was absurd to even be suggested, but even worse there were a fair amount of fans who have defended the opinion. I guess it's a bit of a reminder that many average fans don't have a very good ability to evaluate the game. Obviously there are chasms of space between Dortmund and the MLS. If Gio can't achieve sustained playing time and success at Dortmund, there are so many other options for him to play at an appropriate level and not come to MLS and watch his development stagnate. Again, some could argue that it's stagnated at Dortmund, but that doesn't make MLS the answer.
Regarding MLS, they desperately need a philosophical change towards a different identity as a league. Their focus should be squarely on becoming a consistent development path for young, talented players in this hemisphere. In terms of players to attract, and then act as a stepping stone, a couple that come to mind are Miguel Almiron and Jhon Duran. And of course there are examples within the US, such as Pepi, Busio, Tessmann, A. Morris, etc.
A clear shift away from attracting players near retirement age, towards a purposeful focus on attracting players who are around the age of 20, but who are likely to play 2-3 seasons at most in MLS if their upward trajectory continues, is what the league needs. That's how you find sustained growth, which in turn will drive a more engaged fanbase over the long run. American fans would be much more likely to follow the league if their local/regional teams had several exciting young players to watch versus one or two players with "marketability" but who are well past their prime and pulling the finances of the league down with their inflated salaries and limited opportunity for future transfer revenue.
There would inevitably be certain young players who hit a ceiling and remain in MLS. Or who perhaps have some tentative opportunities to move to a European league, but choose to remain in MLS for one reason or another. In terms of Americans, perhaps a guy like Jesus Ferreira is a decent example. Luciano Acosta might be a decent example as a player from elsewhere in the Americas. Let those players supplement and help develop the new crop of young talent that can be consistently attracted to the league. Forget about being a retirement league for a handful of splashy names every now and again.
MLS if you want ratings, just bring the best players in the world. Stop bringing dinosaurs. I am not spending a dollar to watch mediocrity.
As a sounders fan we should sign a aging 9 from Europe.
Fulham will cash in on Jedi
If we count Damian Downs at Cologne, he would be near the top of this list: 1 goal, 1 pen earned, 1 assist.
U.S. Soccer media has the absolute worst coverage in sports. Period.
McLeagueSoccer = MLS; a play off the franchise model of soccer and business in this country. Don't forget the TM if you ever use it, lol!
Brah I saw you in Tello Ad😂😂😂
