Between the #LAFC expansion draft & @darlingtonnagbe trade to @ATLUTD, don't forget that the @MLS expansion announcement for teams 25 & 26 should be within the next week. #MLS

Updated list of #MLS free agents after the #LAFC expansion draft.

[Free Kicks Report @freekicksreport]

Looks like a lot of major shakeups this #MLS offseason. #Timbers losing Porter, and looking like Nagbe & Adi. #CrewSC's Berhalter as a candidate to head to #Portland, while talks of a Kamara & Zardes swap with the #LAGalaxy. #OrlandoSC expecting to sign '10-12 new players'

[Free Kicks Report @freekicksreport]

@RubioSoccer35 1.1M (without streaming), but yes still huge potential ahead. But a great year when you think about the new talent brought in, 2 new clubs and TFC lifting their first #MLS Cup

[Free Kicks Report @freekicksreport]

@ATLUTD @MLS Not to mention the recent signing of 22-year-old #Argentine defender Franco Escobar. #ATLUTD looks set for another exciting season.

[Free Kicks Report @freekicksreport]

Talk about ambition, @ATLUTD. Imagine Almiron & Nagbe creating chances for Martinez & Villalba. Add in Asad and Gressel and that has to be the best top 6 in @MLS. #ATLUTD #MLS https://t.co/l8cmDOqAtW

Fun w/ logos: Updated trophy graphic, now w/ more treble

[Free Kicks Report @freekicksreport]

@Bollox17Jason Geez, you really hate US soccer. Out for the night. But I'm still thinking a podcast episode in January might be a good idea (plus way easier discuss than over Twitter).

[Free Kicks Report @freekicksreport]

@Bollox17Jason #MLS #NWSL #USL #NPSL #PDL are all at their highest point in their respective histories (in terms of # of clubs and interest).

[Free Kicks Report @freekicksreport]

@Bollox17Jason @EmptySeatsMLS I said 'If #MLS can hit 24k avg for a season' they would be 5th highest. @phat7deuce noted is the best we do at this point. If they are 10th or 20th, I'm still supporting my local club, the leagues & pointing out the positive things such as the 19 new clubs set to debut in '18

[Free Kicks Report @freekicksreport]

@Bollox17Jason @phat7deuce @EmptySeatsMLS I was a season ticket holder for #NASL for several years, I'm sure it was the same there. I'm not sure how arguing over the # of people attended vs. tickets sold really leads to positive change, while ignoring obvious improvements over the last decade.
