Contract goes into effect Jan 1, 2020. Will stay with the 2nd team for the rest of the season.

I’m an STH since day 1. Been through the thick and thin of the squad, made many new friends in my section, crush beers, cheer the team on win or lose, and walk out of MBS with a smile on my face after a good time. It’s just soccer, not life or death. #Perspective.

Well if all it is to you is a social event, then I understand your point.

Me? I prefer exciting football over boring football. I prefer winning the MLS Cup over merely struggling to make the playoffs. I go to the matches for the sport, not the socializing and beer drinking.

I enjoy watching teams that are organized and know what they are doing on the field/pitch, no matter the sport. If they do that and they are beaten by a better opponent, so be it.

The Frank De Boer AUFC squad ain't none of that. They are DISorganized and confused on the pitch. It ain't fun to pay the going rates for professional sports for that. At least its not for me, your mileage may vary.

Good for you that you care more about what is happening outside in the parking lots and in the stands than what is happening on the field. That ain't me though.

We haven't struggled to make the playoffs since 2017 and are currently 7 points above the playoff line even though we've been without multiple starters for just about the entire season (and will continue be without at least 2 starters against Seattle this weekend). And that's without even touching the numerous injuries to back ups.

We have played a grand total of zero games this season with our starting XI.

Struggle to make playoffs? Quite being a drama queen. They have had zero time with a core11 squad. Granted Frank is no Tata but I will give him the benefit of the doubt until I see his work with a core squad. ATL has one glaring why their attack is not prolific like last year: dat Almiron god. He blew up that field with his speed.

The closest thing we have to him is Barco, and he's played in only 8 league matches (last one was May 6) and missed most of preseason.

Close but he doesn’t blow up the field and create chaos. He’s a more technical player though

Well I did say closest. Without him and Villalba, our potential attacking speed slows down exponentially.

I know people were flipping their shite v RBNY but you see the lineup and think holy shite this is a house of cards. When pogba went down they were screwed tactically. Ambrose and Parkhurst got murdered on the wings.

Hyndman starting at the 10 tonight. Surprised to not see Jeff start since he's suspended for this Sunday.

MLS congested schedule go pound sand. I know the USOC is probably the best avenue to retain CCL access.

When you’re a fan of a lesser team and it’s tied at half on the road, yeah I don’t mind it.

It's impossible to hit crosses worse than Meram is.
