Let's see if we can keep the thread going this time, lads.

Uhm Edmonton will someday be one of the largest cities in North America, as /mls/ has recently discussed, and FC Edmonton a power house of global soccer.

If an organization started an academy, and built a team from scratch, with no other signings, how long would it take (from the opening of the academy) to build an MLS caliber team?
Carter Evans
Possibly. The biggest sack of bullshit getting thrown out to toss mud on FS was the assertion the were going to be able to buy the land at $10,000 an acre. The appraisals have blown that notion the fuck out, and the possible revenue that could go towards the city coffers have simultaneously undermined the bitching over the cost of $5 Million for the special election. There has already been some secondhand discussion that the Mayor is going to be able to apply leverage and this new information to pull some of the 8 City Councilmen back to his side to prevent the majority vote necessary to overturn his veto. One thing is for certain. Soccer City isn't as dead and buried as anons have made it seem within a few recent threads.

Ryan Gomez
Depending on the size of the scouting pool, 4-8 years.
Basically once the academy is up and running, any local talent that would be normally be sucked into the college system could be picked up by the academy.
Any metro area could find enough raw talent to shape into a MLS tier team.
Problem would be the education aspect. What is the academy able to offer to compete with big HS and colleges?
Anthony Rivera
It really is embarrassing.
An SF based team, in the city, would totally work. A San Diego team would probably work too.
If I had the money I would expand the Delta organization and make it big league

I'd blame it on Sugarman more than Earnie, Earnie is doing his job which is finding unknown relatively low cost players that can compete in the league, Sugarman is a real estate guy who isn't mega rich to begin with, he wants to spend as little as possible to get in position to flip the franchise for crazy profit in the future
When Alejandro Bedoya at 1 mil transfer fee and 1 mil wage is our most expensive signing that says pretty much all we need to know about the type of signings we'd make
if the guy isn't bought on the cheap and willing to submit to the team over himself at reasonable wages they're not going to get him
for the foreseeable future they're looking to build the team through young homegrowns and thrifty foreigners... Jones and Trusty seem like they could be fairly decent in MLS, bringing up local guys is something I respect the Union for in spite of the fact that the franchise itself is cheap

But neither of those teams play in MLS. On the contrary, they're the teams for europhile kids who got all their soccer knowledge from playing FIFA.

MLS cucks have to follow a European team so they can learn the tricks of the trade, this is very basic MLS cuck knowledge, please lurk more

listen I hate being mean to you I really do, but if you're actually going to be a soccer fan you have to learn about the sport and be open minded otherwise you're gonna continue on saying things that are going to make people that actually do understand think you're an idiot
Gabriel Green
Yeah, but they're never going to be actual competitors until they spend money on a real playmaker in the midfield. They're not going to luck in someone like that through the academy for a very long time.
MLS cuckoldry, which is the irrational support for US Soccer and it's rigged MLS system, is deeply connected to Europhilia.

>that buildup on the first goal Apologize right now.
Jonathan Perry
He took on one player in the open midfield, then made the wrong pass.
Instead of the open option on the wing, he plays it to a man-marked Demps. It could have easily been cleared or intercepted.
Just because it works doesn't mean it was a good play. He then gets it back, and finally makes the correct choice in passing it to the open wide player, who then gets the assist.
And that was his only contribution to attack or defense all game. He jogged and stood around for the vast majority of his 73 minutes.
Juan Flores
>that was his only contribution to attack or defense all game Did you actually watch the game? Because I don't think you actually watched the game.
Angel Howard
Can national team discussion move to one of the national team related threads, thanks
William Myers
Really, he was absolutely unimportant. I am not sure why this is controversial, but go ahead and list all his key passes. Or any important tackles. Or any shots.
Leo Reyes
SHUT UP JUST FUCKING SHUT UP PULISHIT DIDNT DO ANYTHING THAT WAS ALL ALTIDORE CREATING SPACE FOR THE OVERRATED YUROPOOR FUCK HIM AND STOP BRADLEY, HES WORLD CLASS

Yeah, more SOON posts and another round of expansion discussion please. All this talk about MLS players really ruins the MLS thread.

Except it attracts b8ing wannabe yuros like I'd really rather not discuss it. We get fucking bullied relentlessly every time someone mentions Altidore or Bradley I don't give a shit about either of them but damn I am tired

I'm sorry that I have a life, and I'm not able to shitpost with you 24/7
It really seems like you didn't watch the game, though. I know it's a cliche, but he really did do a lot of important work that didn't show up on the scoresheet. In the formation they were playing, his role is to be an outlet in the midfield, and get the ball up to the front 3. He played well, handling pressure and doing his usual strong one v one work. And he did track back and make some good defensive plays. I agree that he should have taken a couple shots, that's always been a problem for him. But he was definitely one of the better players out there for us, I don't know why you're being so negative.
Wyatt Rivera
I didn't watch the game last night because I was at some information meeting about a subdivision someone is building near my grandfather's house How did it go overall? I know what the score was
Andrew Rodriguez
He's ok. Would have been a decent gold cup player, but he'd never play in a meaningful game for us. There's just too much depth at the position. For me, Dom and CJ are above him.
>inb4 USAutism user screeches about Dom not being a real American.

So ESPNABCDISNEY FC™ published a piece today about how Nags put in a "stellar" performance. The one thing they mentioned is the back pass to Yedlin.
He warranted two mentions in the Guardian's MbM, one of which was about a terrible pass he made. Nagbe wasn't mentioned at all in the full post game report. So I'm not some random dumbass here, just to get that criticism out of the way.
He didn't do much. Objectively. You and I'm sure Arena will claim there are some intangibles there but they didn't come to much.
The only reason anyone could even claim intangibles is because we don't have any advanced statistics for the game. If we did, I am sure that Nagbe's passing would have been below average for the team and that his number of touches would have been way below too. He wasn't involved on the ball, not entirely his fault, but he doesn't deserve praise for his dribbling skills.
Then the claim about his off the ball: he doesn’t move with anything approaching normal human movement. Thats what stands out most and drew my eye last night. He is slow as shit, especially when you see Yedlin running next to him. And he doesn't actually get open all that much. He jogs around the same area most of the time regardless of what is happening on the field and who is around him. I can't recall any rapid movements or quick pass and move plays from him.
He is subpar, at least in that position and with this team. He did nothing of note in the Venezuela game and the single one-to-one dribble with the bad pass in this game.
If he does something in the Mexico game I'll reevaluate, but if he plays like he has with the last two performances he shouldn't be in the squad and Mexico's midfield will pick him apart.
Jack Taylor
Altidore got bullied, Howard is a disaster waiting to happen (SOON), Bradley at one point literally ran to the penalty spot to receive a pass from a defender and pass back to Howard who cleared it into touch. Then Pulisic was GOAT. They could have been down 2-0 at the half, but could have scored four in the second.
Underwhelming and unconvincing for all but the AYSO families and AO rubes
Logan Kelly
A hat store?
Jonathan Jackson
Until we have stats, it's clearly going to be subjective. My perception of the game was that he played decently well in the role he was put in. In your perception, he did next to nothing. Whatever, I don't think we can solve this here.
Anyway, he's obviously not the best player on the field for us, but I think he's earned his spot on the team.
