.lol....sht...like i said....zzzzz... i give zero about soccer...

I respect a person's freedom to not care for soccer, but what's the point of going into a thread that is clearly about soccer and interjecting your opinion amongst fans who are clearly excited about this opportunity?

Like, if you really "give zero about soccer" then you wouldn't take the time to post your dissenting opinion. 

I don't much care for soccer myself, but I wouldn't go out of my way to be a turd about it.

It’s all but guaranteed that Charlotte or Raleigh will get a team (with the increased expansion) and soccer will thrive in North Carolina regardless of where the team is.

It’s never been about the support but rather about the funding.

Charlotte’s diversity makes it an easy target market for a team. There’s no coincidence that the International Cup and Gold Cup matches sell out year after year.

Additionally North Carolina FC located in Cary, NC house the biggest youth to professional  soccer program in the entire country with over 13,500 players. 

I get not everyone likes soccer, just like not everyone likes hockey... However the old boys club can still watch their NASCAR on Sunday while the rest of us tune in to watch North Carolina’s MLS team.

Because you do not understand the game.  Soccer is like chess.  It’s all about formations and tactics.  You can be a shitty team but if you can get it just right, you can beat anyone.

All you want is a result without understanding how.  People that watch soccer know that it’s not always about goals.  Some of the best games I have ever seen finished in a tie.  Take champions league City vs. Spurs few days ago.

...i've watched it...i get it...it still sucks....im sure the majority of the  UK thinks NFL sucks...im ok with that.... just not enough action for me...i'd like baseball if a game was 5 innings, a full count was 2 and 1...the fence moved in 100 ft and the bases made out of fake tittys...

Not enough action?  You’d rather watch commercials for 1.5 hours?  That’s more action?

Nope.  It’s during Panthers offseason.

The MLS plays in September and October with more games and playoffs in November/December.

Coordinating the game schedules between NFL and MLS isn’t a problem. Atlanta does it.

The problem for Charlotte would be potential turf issues with 2 teams playing on natural turf (Atlanta uses artificial turf).

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
