After what happened to Pirlo and Gerrard over here, I think signings of retirement circuit European players is always worth some skepticism. This is particularly true when a player looks as washed up in Europe as Rooney did. Remarkable how rejuvenated he seems, some players just take to the environment I guess.

Said in the GameDay thread but I think most old euro players who truly don't give a poo poo are skipping MLS now and going for China or Middle East. Most recent old euros of Zlatan and Rooney have been great compared to Pirlo, Gerrard, lampard a few years back.

The timbers are historically bad and I'm taking it way better that I would have expected. After watching Kansas City and LAFChivas, it's clear that Portland is a tier below in terms of talent. I'd be mad about how much money is being wasted on mediocrity, but then I remember who the owner is.

I feel like the timbers FO is sitting in the fire saying this is fine. They didn't have the defense last year and the offense saved them for a while. They have the same defense and the offense is aging quick (at least until Ebo figures it out). I'm starting to think this is the year before the rebuilding year.

Valeri is one of the best players MLS has seen over the last 5 years, and it is criminal how bad the Timbers FO has been about getting him additional players to help out.

By the time they finally hit the field they'll probably be playing in Atlantis (because Florida will be underwater (assuming WW3 doesn't happen first))

The fact that the first three months of the season are road matches doesn’t help one bit and that’s almost definitely going to be the FO’s reasoning on why everything is terrible rather than the poor back line and myriad other issues.

That's what I'm afraid of. Once the attack figures it out, the team will be ok for a while, but the defensive line has been atrocious for years. They need to put some serious effort into replacing the entire defense.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) - Nashville’s new soccer stadium is designed to the biggest soccer-specific stadium in the country.
Soccer Club CEO Ian Ayre revealed some new details in a letter to fans.

The new stadium is now expected to open at the start of the 2022 season. That is two years after the club’s MLS league debut, which is set for 2020.

Ayre said, “We believe opening the 2022 season in our new stadium will be a better outcome for both our team and our fans. Moving into a new facility in the middle of the 2021 season and losing home field advantage could negatively affect our team on the field, and equally, we believe this decision avoids disruption to our ticket holders midseason.


Ayre says home games will be played at Nissan Stadium for two years until the soccer stadium is ready.

The club is also looking for a training facility site in Nashville.

They must be using all public money, because no one self-financing that is going to risk their own money on something so unproven.

The primary bankroller is John Ingram, who is a billionaire. He is redeveloping the whole Fairgrounds area where the stadium is going to be. I don’t know how much he is putting up versus public funds, but it’s pretty substantial.
