Let me offer the cynical translation of that: If we're all going to be mostly average anyway, why spend a lot of money? Ambition!

Since Bradley Carnell sort of asked: Last time Orlando City conceded four goals at home: 5-3 loss to D.C. United on July 4, 2022 ... a D.C. United team that that year had a pair of memorable encounters with the Union

Bradley Carnell: "Happy for the boys. It's three points and nothing more." Co-sign

90% of the things I'm going to say about the Union are positive: - Frankie Westfield, very good - Olwethu Makhanya, good enough to have played last year - Jovan Lukic seems to slow the game down in a good way - Danley Jean Jacques is great in scramble situations; was very good today in structure

A bold prediction? Frankie Westfield will make Olivier Mbaizo redundant by mid-year, then take Nathan Harriel's job by Sept. 1

Remember when Tai Baribo got subbed out without playing in the Seattle resumption so that Jim Curtin could play Markus Anderson?

Outstanding 1-touch feed by Rodrigo Schlegel Shame about it not being to his teammate

That's an 11-pass sequence off a throw-in, by my count

"The exciting, young Homegrowns the Union have" Cut to ...

That's exactly the kind of goal the Union need to score a lot: - Great ball by Westfield to Gazdag cleared - Great ball by Lukic to Westfield cleared - Sullivan counter presses, throw numbers forward when you have the chance, get the ball to your main chance creator

Win probability! Did you know Orlando taking a lead made it get bigger?!?! Dear Apple MLS powers that be:

Can't blame Makhanya for being beaten when he got isolated 2-v-1 in space I would point out that Marco Pasalic cost $4.8 million, but y'know muskets and what not

4' - first Cavan reference drink!

2 things upon the Union kicking off: In one way, this is a tough matchup - difficult place to play, more talented and coherent team. In another, the Union will play against the ball for 75 percent of this game. That's what this system is designed for

Of the 20 players on the roster for the Union in MLS Cup 2022, only 10 are in the squad to open 2025 (plus Harriel)

If you have roster compliance questions, the answer is the Union are going to do this stupid loaning thing for a while. And ... let's be clear it's stupid because MLS insists on allowing such stupidity in its roster mechanisms to persist

Asked Bradley Carnell, after watching Frankie Westfield play right back with the 1s Thursday, about his comfort level with the rookie. His answer was, "well we have Mbaizo". Frankie Westfield it is

29 teams in MLS are going to massively rue allowing LAFC to sign Jeremy Ebobissie

Ah yes, the annual re-setting of the Apple accounts to get into MLS season pass. May all who celebrate rejoice

I'd say let's open it up to Tottenham fans to see what they like to call the club. I imagine most won't fly on broadcast TV

The up-curled mustache is ... reprehensible

I frankly wouldn't leave the best player in the world all alone in the slot but you know that's just me

Gearing up for the Union season this week: First a look from the weekend at the Union's roster - A lot of Homegrowns - Not a lot of expereince - Not one player (Though this is likely changing) who has played for another MLS team www.delcotimes.com/2025/02/13/a...
