We're just a couple of months away from the MLS SuperDraft (I wish they'd just call it the MLS Draft), while the Expansion Draft is also coming up fast. So, how are  we feeling? There's not a lot of energy in this forum so I'm wondering if people are lukewarm on this new team, or what the feelings are right now.

I don't feel like there's much of a buzz, for as quickly as the important stuff is approaching. Are Huddlers gonna buy tickets? Is Charlotte as a whole going to embrace this new venture?

I'm a huge soccer fan, but I moved out of the area last year and that has diminished some of my excitement sadly.

I still look forward to it, and I think Charlotte has excellent demographics potential to provide great support for the team, but I guess time will tell. I've checked in on this board occasionally, and I'll just say I hope it's not an indicator of overall fan support, lol.

But I'll pull for CFC along with my Everton Blues and the Swedish national team.

I’ll be following, unfortunately I don’t live in the area anymore but I’ll definitely go to games when Charlotte plays Orlando City.

I’m definitely looking forward to the SuperDraft and expansion draft, I actually coached against the kid that went number one overall in the 2021 MLS SuperDraft.

If Ousseni Bouda comes out he has to be the pick in the SuperDraft.

I’m excited to see the player pool for the expansion draft.

Highly skilled winger from Stanford and I wouldn’t be shocked if he eventually ends up overseas. His journey will probably look similar to Cyle Larin’s. The MLS will help him get better technically for a few years then he’ll move on to Europe. There’s nothing wrong with that though, that’s how MLS teams make money.

Bouda’s willingness to take players one on one is what makes him exciting and his speed and overall skill are top notch.

He has 9 goals and 13 assists in his 33 games with Stanford.

      What a Possible Trading Out of 1st Round May* Look Like

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This And with possibly needing to replace Bryce next year and a deep QB class, I do not hate the idea of moving far enough back to pick up another 1st rounder next year out of the deal. I wouldn't have said that a week ago, but I also never expected us to land 3 big FA's at our 3 biggest positions of need like we have, it totally changes things.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      The OL has certainly been better than the trainwreck it was three or four years ago. As far as competitiveness let's apply some realism and clarity here. Quite a bit of the competitiveness in 2025 came from the defensive side of the ball which gave up the most points in league history the year before and was one of the bottom 5 units in terms of salary cap allocation for 2025 while the OL was top 3. We had the 26th passing offense last year. And if not for a herculean couple of games from Rico Dowdle we don't back our way into the division title or make the playoffs because we went 4-6 in our final ten games including being swept by the Saints who were starting a rookie 2nd round pick most of us mercilessly mocked when they selected him. In conclusion yes we've seen a difference. The question now is will the investment pay off the way we want. But the only way that happens is if we field a top 15 offense. If we can't even crack the top 20 then there need to be some very warm seats across the board. And I would hope just about anyone here should agree with that.

      These Spurs are lowkey loaded.  If healthy, they could win it all this year (#2 in the West right now). I still think we’ve gotta keep Kalk on Wemby; he’s not getting completely dominated like every other NBA center.
