(Didn't know where to put this - I thought about starting an MLS thread, but apparently I can't start topics)

 

After watching highlights of this past few weeks of matches, I thought, "Damn, they sure award a lot of penalties in MLS." Especially on corners. So I looked it up. Last year, there were 87 penalties awarded in the Premier League. At this point in the MLS season, 84 have been given. So I guess it wasn't my imagination.

But do they call less than the World Cup play? I was watching the Rapids/Revolution game and it seemed like they allow the game to be a little rougher than what I saw in the World Cup.

So it's begun, and for my team has begun in typical Gillingham style. 2-0 up before our two best players get injured and we lose 4-2, all goals from set-pieces including two own goals, 3 goals in 5 minutes! It's going to be a long season but I still think we'll be ok for 14-17th position by the end of the season with this young side.

One positive though - is this the most pleasant pre-game beers in football?! Drinking by a canal and opening/closing locks for passing barges in the Summer sun, a (long) 15-20 walk from the stadium.

That's a nice looking stadium! Wish we had something similar to it here in Tampa. The local team, the Rowdies, plays in a converted baseball diamond, and to be honest, it sucks. No seat is really a good one there.

 

I'd kill to have that pitch to watch, which is why I'm hoping they do it right when the Lions start playing MLS next season.

The stadium is loosely based on US stadiums - where you can watch the game from the concourse in the lower tier while you're queuing up for food and drink. MLS stadia on the whole seem dull, lacking facilities, atmosphere and architecture. The MLS needs more stadia like this or Sporting Kansas, and less cookie cutters like Home Depot, BMO field etc. Starting with a roof around the whole stadium!

      Of course. But they already do that. The billionaire owners hold cities ransom and force taxpayers to fund their stadiums. For me. I'd rather see a young rookie athlete who will be risking themselves every time they take the field receive a fair contract. At the end of the day these are low end contracts compared to some of the MLB level deals given out to other big name players. I'd certainly rather see that before seeing another billionaire owner receiving taxpayer funds while pocketing tens of billions in annual shared revenue and whose franchises only increase in value even if the teams in question are good or bad.

      I really don't know how they should work this out. I can see all sides, and I really don't think there's a black and white here, the entire situation is too complex and all the teams are too intermingled. Regardless of how you think about these contracts, if the NFL does begin guaranteeing larger amounts of money then some type of way they're going to try and shake us--FANS--down for more money, and I ain't gonna pay it because they can't guarantee me good football.

      The NFL eats giant bad contracts all the time. I looked and the 3rd starts at 6.7 at pick 67 and 6.1 at pick 96. With the way the NFL cap keeps going up and how they all work the cap it really shouldn't be an issue for any team that can get 1 year out of rookies.  Maybe it would cut down on teams taking giant leaps on guys they shouldn't? This would have got Hurney fired in 3 years lol
