Think a better question would be what has MLS been doing the past 15 years if that’s how far we need to go back for a Round of 16 win.

You know pretending Haisley is a troll doesn’t make what he says about MLS any less true, right

MLS stans hating Haisley for telling the truth will never not be funny

This is a total load of crap and you need to stop drinking the monopolist kool-aid. There’s 22 MLS clubs for the entire fucking continent, with 26 professional clubs locked out, leading to investment in infrastructure (Read: THE ACADEMIES THAT CREATE PLAYERS LIKE PULISIC) to be woefully disincentivized.

Does he have a gripe considering his team would have been in the tiebreaker if they could have gotten one fucking out up four runs…

There are no reasons to “kill” the WBC. It’s a fantastic tournament that should be held more often, albeit at a different time in the calendar.

Suspend Mings for the stomp, Zlatan for the elbow, the ref for the failure, and Mourinho for the douchebaggery.

I’m pretty sure 50,000 people showing up for Arthur Blank’s brand new publicly-funded stadium-justifier when 5,000 people couldn’t be bothered to show up for the Atlanta Silverbacks, a professional American soccer club that was older than MLS itself but was left in the permanent “minor league” limbo that the majority…

Mets retired numbers should read:
