Oh boy, Luna pondering a Mexico switch. I really hope he doesn't and is just sending a message after inexplicably being left off the Olympic team, but damn that one would hurt.

re: 2024 MLS Season Thread

The MLS has completely hidden and ruined their broader appeal. I had zero idea the all star game (vs Liga MX) was tonight until I pulled up the ESPN app to see highlights from the US Olympic game today. That's embarrassing. More people will probably watch the Chelsea/Wrexham preseason frie...

Oh boy, I found a glaring issue with the game that is frustrating. After recruiting in the off season and it takes you to position changes, there's no position option for athlete like the old games. Which means you have to have the whole roster option set and sort position to athlete. I knew I w...

Ya Fox Sports is reporting Crocker has been interviewing someone(s) in Europe this week. If it is indeed Vierira that'll be a little disappointing as he's done nothing or note as a manager at any level. It would just be hiring a name for names sake. We need a flight tracker for Crocker lol...
