The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

I mean I know that Inter is a dumpster fire but I dunno if too many other people would call them that.

In that specific year a lot more people would have. They were terrible under three different managers so I'm not really going to blame de Boer in particular.

I read an interview with Eales where he said the club was only considering his time at Ajax, and not his short time gigs. The reasoning he gave was that Atlanta wants to run their academy in a similar way to Ajax, or something along those lines.

In addition to not playing Sundays they are significantly limiting the number of non-soccer events via some weird zoning racket.

They are building a shiny new stadium but artificially limiting their ability to make money.

the thought is that he is going to continue the gravy train of young Sudamericans up, training them and selling them off. Which I don't inherently disagree with, but I feel like its an unsustainable business model.

Isn't this process basically the entire model behind second tier leagues like the Eredivisie? Farm gems from somewhere, train them up, sell them to the rich leagues, repeat.

Crew get Joe Bendik for $50,000 in TAM. That seems awfully cheap. He’s rather good IIRC.

Guess we’ll find out exactly how replacement-level Steffen is, and how much of Orlando’s defense leaking was down to Will Johnson being a sentient cone.

Aaaaand this is official now.

He's legit an improvement over Chris McCann but, um, I wouldn't be expecting much more than that (or paying him more than 250k).

The superdraft, where 5 or 6 players drafted will actually play in an MLS game and all the rest immediately get loaned to USL teams and half of those players are never heard from again.
