Looks like Kansas City is well on schedule for jumping out to the top of the conference in the spring, then inexplicably collapsing and backing into the playoffs in sixth place again. Consistency!

It does seem like we've had more high scoring games than usual.

As the only KC fan here, I'm pretty befuddled by the Dwyer transfer. We can't score goals on our best days and I'd have to imagine the FO has something lined up. Otherwise we're looking at a 0-0 in every game for the rest of the season. Nemeth isn't good enough and I'd hope there's some kind of big name striker on the horizon for us.

Up the sportings, etc. This will make our first round playoff exit more palatable, again.

Your Boy Fancy posted:They're consistently Good. Is that more or less frustrating? I mean, I guess I should appreciate what I have. It's the same as being a Chiefs fan over the last couple years. It does feel like the FO uses our minor successes as an excuse not to invest in the team sometimes though. This has been a cool season. I was skeptical of Atlanta getting the expansion but they've built a team the right way and the city seems to accept the club.

The west is going to be really interesting in the last couple weeks. I think Portland/Seattle/KC are probably safe but pretty much anybody else could snap up those last two playoff spots. Except LA haha

Your Boy Fancy posted:Kill the MLS2 teams. Grow the sport either by affiliate program (DC-Richmond has been mutually beneficial) or by just loaning players. Swope Park has been great for KC and we've already signed quite a few players from there. It's not all bad.

Feels Villeneuve posted:It worked for Japan, and South Korea despite the similar lack of soccer culture in those countries. Those leagues don't attract the same kinds of big ("big") name players that MLS fans are crying out for. I'll admit that their national teams have done very well, albeit in a confederation possibly even worse than CONCACAF

I agree that I'm not thrilled to see old guys, but I think the majority of MLS fans get excited about seeing Villa, Schweinsteiger, etc. Beckham barely played and he managed to bring more attention and fan excitement than the league had ever seen before. The league is always going to listen to those fans, especially when they're the ones buying tickets and absurdly expensive shirts. The US is a unique place in how loving big we are geographically and how many sports are ahead of soccer on the pecking order. I really don't think that copying other leagues is a recipe for success because of that. MLS isn't perfect but it has to find its own way forward. Looking to someplace like Japan or even England would be a disaster, largely because pro/rel would 100% kill fan interest in the league, and fan engagement is ultimately the most important thing. No fans, no league; no league, no national team development.

Look at the ratings for when small-market teams make MLS Cup, like KC vs. RSL a couple years ago. Imagine those ratings when MLS Cup is Casper, Wyoming vs. Edmond, Oklahoma. I know ratings aren't everything but I'm happy with a system that ensures teams come from cities with people in them

whypick1 posted:Atlanta is getting the All-Star Game, to the shock of basically no one. I hate that they try to hype it up as a big announcement. Nobody cares about the ASG anymore and we all knew what they were gonna say as soon as we learned it would be announced in Atlanta. I'm just mad because MLS sent a push notification to my phone for this poo poo.

Let's just move San Jose's rights to Sacramento, give the expansion spots to Cincy and Nashville (or don't expand) and then lol at Detroit in general, a city that will have 30 people living in it by the time the team would get off the ground
