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.

      Best way to Stream

      The new (released today) FOX ONE app will allow you access to watch your Local FOX Station - similar to how the Paramount Plus app allows you access to watch your local CBS station It'll cost you $20/month for the privilege, but if you're having trouble accessing the over-the-air antenna for FOX, this could be an option to consider the new ESPN app will give you access to ESPN content, but not to the local ABC affiliate. A reminder: if you currently get ESPN via some TV provider (cable, satellite, youtube, etc) then you should be able to use the new ESPN app via your provider login, no additional payment required

      The Panthers have an effort problem

      XL went to one of the worst teams in the NFL.  One that features a weak passing O and bad overall QB play on the season.   XL is getting way too much hate IMO.   He had an okay rookie season all things considered.   Very much on par w/ prospects that projected around the same area with him.   Panthers made a 2nd rounder a first round technicality for that contract.  XL also getting this weird kicker type blame for games.  XL somehow single handedly lost us games on one play.....and then we ignore the rest of the team that went about losing the game for 4 quarters.   Should he of caught the Philly ball? 100%.  The O and D still played like garbage that entire game.  Even after the drop, Panthers had two shots starting w/ a 3rd and 4 to convert.  They kept playing bad instead.  And even if we XL made the play....Philly would have had a minute and half to get into FG range to win it.  Who is banking on the Panther D getting that stop?  also, I am deemed Mr. Negative, yet here I am defending a no good dirty Gamecock lol
