Big_M Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Looks like Robin Fraser will be named head coach of Colorado..has head coaching experience with Chivas USA and a good record in teams where he was an assistant..but Conor Casey has done very well as interim bringing them 7 wins https://www.9news.com/article/sports/soccer/colorado-rapids/colorado-rapids-to-hire-robin-fraser-as-next-head-coach/73-6e8fa59a-ba71-471e-9d45-14f8dd705f69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SthMelbRed Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 LAFC and Galaxy both playing at home simultaneously today, funnily enough both against Canadian teams. It'll be curious to see what the total combined attendance is, and how the games being at the same time affects the individual teams' attendance against their season averages.

Big_M Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Last two playoff spots to be determined on the final matchday are in the west between portland dallas san jose..dallas at home vs skc and portland hosting san jose..first tiebreaker is number of wins so san jose would get in with a draw and a dallas loss..boy would luchi out chants get loud if dallas doesnt get in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narduch Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 29 teams is too many. And you know they won't stop. I guess we will start to see scheduling where some years you don't even play some out of Conference teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will only get worse. It is a formula that has worked for North American Sports. In European countries there are less cities able to support a competitive team than what is available in North America. The drop-off in potential revenue between 1-30 in North America should be significantly less than the drop-off in potential revenue between 1-20 in England.

narduch Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I fully expect them to keep expanding past 30 teams. They will eventually use a format line USL where the 2 conferences never meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 If soccer is as healthy in the US as it appears to be with teams popping up everywhere and hotspots like CINCY and Atlanta you would think TV ratings would at least stay level. Reportedly 90mil a season for the current tv deal, split 24 ways....just under 4mil a season. That deal is up in a few years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 FWIW NHL ratings are on the rise and their current deal of $200 million a year is expected to jump up to around $350-400 M a year. Just interesting because a lot of MLS fans like to pretend they're close to surpassing the NHL and entering themselves into the conversation as a "Top NA league". Well, the reality is a lot different and the NHL will now be entering one of the top 5 MLS markets. Also, the fact is that "big teams" like Seattle and Toronto can't even sell out their playoff games.. it's frankly embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
