Here’s that @DetroitCityFC opener. Spectacular. #USOC2018

@jonnymain2011 @martyngnr @ScotsHutchie Did you ever get your "Exploding the Myth" expose published? :-)

[TheSoccerObserver @SoccerObserver]

@stuartdarroch @ScottBurns75 @dcunited @NewYorkCityFC @MLS @Scottishprem "Arty bollocks" is where it's at these days. Fitba is old hat! :-)

@AFCHereWeGo 1,000 Dandies up giving it loads, outsinging a dire home support.

“Will all spectators please remain in your seats or you will be ejected.”

7,000 Dandies up giving it loads, humiliating a dire home support.

@Kephern_Fuller @Zone_14 $15 to store a handbag. You could watch a Bundesliga game for that!

[TheSoccerObserver @SoccerObserver]

@Kephern_Fuller @Zone_14 They made my friend’s wife pay $15 to store her handbag in a locker outside the stadium. And apparently wanted $30 extra to put Rooney’s name on the back of a jersey he bought his son. Major League Scammers.

@DrDKilpatrick @nasl50th @soccerhof @USSoccerHistory @RiverhoundsSC @Memphis901FC @PGH_Sports_Date Legend! 👍

[TheSoccerObserver @SoccerObserver]

$15 to visit the new @soccerhof? That’s SUM racket.

@ReidUrban @cbrennansports @usatodaysports What’s bad about criticizing a company that cynically exploited workers in impoverished regions, fostered a climate of discrimination and sexual harassment, and intentionally employed drug scandal-ridden coaches to boost athletes’ performances?

[TheSoccerObserver @SoccerObserver]

@DrDKilpatrick Deplorable, you could say.

[TheSoccerObserver @SoccerObserver]

@EwanMacKenna CNN had a headline the other night....

“Trump considering multiple people for vacant UN ambassador role.”

Sterling stuff indeed.

[TheSoccerObserver @SoccerObserver]

Oh jeez.... about 8 years after Paul Kelmsley’s NY Cosmos did this.... only with a crappy ad that barely registers... and zero hope of pulling in Cantona. 🙈

[USL League One @USLLeagueOne]

What up, Times Square? 😎✌

@Zone_14 Though her latest tour/album was pretty dire. One man’s opinion, anyway.

[TheSoccerObserver @SoccerObserver]

@benjaminfalvo @THEChrisKessell Complete non-starter anyway given that FIFA prohibits cross-border leagues and won’t set that precedent. (Some team exceptions, eg Cardiff, Toronto, Monaco). Gets Courtemanche some air time for his irrelevant league though.

Thread. 👇

It continues to amaze that a small percentage of American soccer fans still pay to attend domestic pro games.

What @capellisport and @RushSoccer have done in so little time to destroy soccer in Harrisburg is shameful and wrong. Starting with a bland, uninspired, rebrand that was created w/o any input from the supporters, all the way through a completely toothless "marketing" campaign

[TheSoccerObserver @SoccerObserver]

@KevinHignett I did once see about 25 guys dressed in MLS franchise gear on a flight to San Jose. They were sat in a big group about 20 rows behind me. The Houston Dynamo, they called themselves.

[TheSoccerObserver @SoccerObserver]

@ramincol @TheDukeNGS Not really. USL had a D1 and D2 before the NASL split. Plan was to implement pro/rel back then too once D1 reached 16 teams. Which it didn’t.

[TheSoccerObserver @SoccerObserver]

@PRMikePreston “Handbags.”

[TheSoccerObserver @SoccerObserver]

And right on cue after standing down from the kickoff time debacle, the @spfl stitches up the ticket allocation for a “neutral” semifinal. Scottish fitba’s governing bodies still stuck in the 1690s.

[BBC Sportsound @BBCSportsound]

Aberdeen object to Hampden semi-final allocation https://t.co/SvNj6pTxO3
