MLS Thread

What's with the mls and the rainbow flags I see at their games,also seen them with the colours used on their numbers.

I'm assuming it is to promote Gay Pride or something like that.

This is a bit strange. Throw millions at a stadium only to move on two years later? The Yanks have more money than sense sometimes.

Its a stadium and training ground complex, they will add offices, buildings and use the pitch as No1 practice field, when they move. Posh spice is used as an extra corner flag. Not when Griffiths is in town.

Correct

How good is Diego Valeri, watched a feature on him last year and his goal last night was sensational.

 

[Cambuslang Bear]

This is a cracking game.

 

[ottawabear]

Some free kick! Albertzesque!!!

 

[Cambuslang Bear]

That is the best game I've seen in a long time. Outstanding.

 

[rcdingwall]

My understanding from what I read last weekend, and others feel free to correct me, is they're building a stadium on the spot of the Fort Lauderdale stadium. They'll play there for two years then move to the 'Miami Freedom' or something like that, stadium, the precise location of which is yet to be determined.

From a British perspective, building a stadium for two years seems like a gross extravagance....but things are different in America.

Are Inter Miami paying for both stadiums themselves. I know quite a lot of stadiums in the states were built by the city and funded by the taxpayer, but wasn’t sure if that still happened.

I think the city still contributes...there will be a lot of different contributors to the new one they build in Miami as it's meant to have a shopping mall, cinema etc all built into it so I imagine lots of vested interests are involved.

MLS starts again today at 2pm. New York City vs Philadelphia Union. Live on Sky Sports Football. Will post the teams shortly.

 

[Slippy]

1 former player in each team. Zelalem benched for NYC and Bedoya starting for Union.

I'd have thought Zelalem would have stood out more in that league to be honest.

Bedoya has done really well for the Union. He is their captain and had a great season last year.

 

[Cambuslang Bear]

Well turns out the league started in the early hours of the morning. Orlando City beat Inter Miami 2-1.

He’s not long signed for them

Just posted it bud. Didn't notice it to begin with.

 

[Cambuslang Bear]

Anyone fancy a flutter, btts, two bookings each and five corners each is 9/1 on Skybet. Usually lots of goals and corners in these games.

Yeah should be 2 games but Nashville v Chicago Fire was postponed due to Nashville having a Covid 19 outbreak in their team

 

[SuperGers07]

9am over there

 

[Cambuslang Bear]

I looked at the fixtures and there seems to be a good few games postponed.

 

[SuperGers07]

Just kicking off now.

 

[Cambuslang Bear]

Looks like the game is at New York's training facility.

Needs to start raining corners soon

Ha ha was just thinking that. The game is not up to much.

Next time I post a tip SuperGers just ignore it

 

[Slippy]

He’s not long signed for them

He was at SKC last season and didn't get much of a run there although that may have been through injury, I'm unsure.

According to his Wiki he did spend the season at SKC.

It’s still got a wee chance

 

[SuperGers07]

Bedoya the scorer

 

[Cambuslang Bear]

Not been the best game. Good to see Bedoya scoring though.

 

[Main Stand]

Didn’t realise this was back, good for through the night entertainment. I’m glad

 

[Johnny Quid]

Do the yanks still dribble with the ball when taking a "penalty"?

 

[Main Stand]

Henry’s team playing later with Bojan in the squad.

 

[Cambuslang Bear]

No they don't. They just use the three points for a win and one point for a draw system.

 

[Main Stand]

Nah , however when they score a pen fireworks go off Diana Ross style.

That boy Wanyama who played for the paedo club playes for them as well.

I can see why he swapped Stoke for Nuu Yoik

@Cambuslang Bear where are these games televised usually ?. I often just bet on them and watch through the 365 app.

 

[Slippy]

FYI for those who like a punt on the MLS. I made quite a bit backing under 0.5 goals in the first half for the first couple of weeks of the EPL.

Both MLS games so far have finished 0-0 at half time. Due to the normally high amount of goals in the league under 0.5 first half goals is normally over 2/1 which means you only need 1 out of 3 to win for profit.

I don't fancy it as much for this league as the defending is terrible but with the lack of friendlies teams take a while to get going so it will be worthwhile for the first gameweek at least.

@Cambuslang Bear where are these games televised usually ?. I often just bet on them and watch through the 365 app.

Usually on Sky Sports bud. Google football on tv today and there is a website that tells you every single game that is on the TV. I think Eurosport cover the odd game as well. If you have an 'alternative' way of watching sport, then the Canadian channel TSN usually has every game on as well.
