@RSLonKSL any news about issues with the live stream? Telling me mines not available because I’m “not in Utah” (same with my friend’s phone, multiple computers, etc.) We’re definitely in Utah... #RSL#RSLonKSL
@Bollox17Jason @richarddeitsch @TheAthleticInk I’m sure they did. Although in the past MLS took a break during the group stage then continued play (most players who left for the WC weren’t on teams advancing to the knockout round) but WC summers are definitely an issue (as is transfer deadline conflicts)
@BrianGilchriest@richarddeitsch @TheAthleticInk To be fair, July in Dallas/Houston is miserable too. But I think summer heat is less complicated for players/facilities than winter snow.
@BrianGilchriest@richarddeitsch @TheAthleticInk For sure, the southern cities are warmer. It’s a big country. But SLC, Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago (normally), NYC/Boston (those are crap shoot winter seasons for snow) plus Canadian teams (Toronto / Montreal) all have major snow issues.
@Bollox17Jason @richarddeitsch @TheAthleticInk How is that different from current MLS schedule? We start play first weekend in March, regular season ends last bit of October. Playoffs through first week of December.
Here's a question: How late in the season can #RSL sign a homegrown academy player. Still think our 9 might be right under our nose, if we can give him a professional contract.
@randalserr@lucaswmuller I think we have a shot at a) playoffs and b) winning first round if offense clicks. But can’t see us doing deeper damage against better defenses without a stronger #9 scoring threat. I’m in the same camp: the right guy eventually, not “some” guy now
@NBCSportsSoccer and whoever the dipshit is that wrote this tweet need to apologize. The dude is practicing and trying to improve. Plus, how ironic that in a tweet about “quirky language” the journalist butchered the English.
@rslsoapbox@TheCrossbarRSL What’s the situation with Soto? I’m assuming he doesn’t want to sign or else we’d already have signed him? (Or some other rule is preventing it. Wish we knew more about his status) He may not be ready yet, but I feel like he could grow into that position.
To be honest, I’d rather #RSL didn’t get “a forward” this window and instead got “The Forward” before next season. Let @bommadog do the research, find “Our Guy” a la Saborio, and make him the perfect system-dressing room-coaches fit. #RSL@rslsoapbox
@SLTID_Jake I think he struggled early to get adjusted to MLS, and people criticized him (unfairly) forgetting how hard it is to integrate to a new league (especially with a new system, style, travel, etc.) and now we’re seeing that full integration. Dudes a stud #GoodJobCraig#GoodJobAndy
#JamesBaldwin's response to a Yale professor asking “So why must we always concentrate on color?” is still the most fire answer in answer history. Happy Birthday!
@davisjsn @SiriusXMFC Gotta be Kyle Beckerman. Dudes an RSL legend with a bazillion records that will probably not be broken. Rimando in Sandy too. GOTY should just be named after Rimando and Kyle can get a statue.
