I'm so dead inside that I don't know if I should be happy or sad.

Because of who he is, yay. But we now have two of the ten highest paid keepers in the league and largely the same lovely defense. (And coaching staff and management) Irwin is on $220,000 but only played 32 games in 3 years.

What’s going to be interesting is Irwin was reportedly traded for being a locker room problem in 2015. Only two players are left (Hairston and Serna), and I think the FO has had a complete turnover. I wonder how he’s going to fit in?

Overall I’m okay with Mezquida, Kamara, Irwin and TAM for MacMath, an international slot and a draft pick, but I hope they do something about that back line. It was putrid with Castillo, without...:eng99:

Hey people who follow NYCFC, how excited should I be by Andre Rawls? I have a feeling he’ll be stuck behind our apparent 2020 keeper Irwin for a while.

SKC has signed Rodney Wallace from NYCFC and will be used mostly as LB.
Medranda is out until summer and Lobato was let go, so the only SKC player that can play LB right now is Sinovic (and maybe Croizet if forced again).

edit; i keep forgetting about Lindsey.

I've long been at the point where nothing is going to change until we can draw and quarter the entire Kroenke family and transfer ownership of the Rapids to someone that wants to make them a mediocre team at the least.

But I imagine that Nuggets and Avalanche fans are way ahead of me in line on that one.

You’re basically right, but the Avs and Nuggets are shockingly decent this year. I’m not sure how many fans will join the angry mob.

Losing Garza isn't great, but its also not the worst thing that could've happened, well executed by the front office.

Pity coming over is phenomenal, still worried about the Coaching decision.

The atmosphere at the match was more electric than any other game of any sport that I've been to, even with the rain. Glad we finally got a championship in ATL, but United needs to continue to perform if they don't want to get Atlanta Sports Team Syndrome; seems as though Blank understands this.

Took off to go the parade, threw a beer at Larentowicz and he stone cold'd it.

I'm a Timbers fan living in Seattle and the oft made complaint that Seattle having an adequately sized stadium is bad is loving stupid. And then dude ends with gentrified posers? Atlanta? I got called a poser by some TA OGs for not having a season ticket or following the USL team. These people are soccer fans because they like feeling special not because they enjoy watching their team.

I'm currently sitting in the fanladen after cleaning up after the TA holiday party.

"I want Atlanta at home is what I want. Get those gentrified posers in Rose City and let's see what happens."

Holy gently caress that's a completely oblivious take.




Anyway, we just raised about $2100 for Friends of Seasonal Workers. I won a pair of game worn Larrys Mabiala boots that fit me perfectly in the raffle, so they're my new outdoor boots.

Pretty much every Timbers chant is a rip on another chant.

I don't know what leverage MDS pulled to get a first out of Vermes for him but that feels like one hell of an overpay.

I assume you mean "good" as in "not totally insufferable in the stands" (since we sure as hell weren't good on the field), but, hmm, I have some bad news for you about our SG literally calling out the team captain and arguably running him out of town for being insufficiently woke during pride week.

(yes I know the coach being fired was the big catalyst but that really didn't help GUYS)

Community-driven soccer is all well and good but man do the communities get full of themselves sometimes.

Well I'll be, they finally pulled the trigger.

I'll kinda miss two-legged series but I don't hate this and if it'll stop the endless bitching about the playoff format and momentum (it won't) then I'm for it on that basis alone.
