Why can't we draw more Euro-stars, or SA? I would think we'd have 10% of them over here by now.

they get the stars they can afford
competing with EPL & China money makes things tough though

i assume the new model will be the Giovinco route, targeting younger, undervalued players currently lost in the mix in Europe
the 35+ retirement home stars haven't worked out too well

anyway, Robbie Keane confirmed gone from LAG
sounds like he wants to stay in MLS though, so let the bidding begin!

I heard a rumor of Tevez to Atlanta United. I hope that isn't so.

Also, I viewed the ATL jerseys up close , stopped by the store to see them. I think they are too dark , depressing. Need something to brighten it up.

Probably?

I can't see Robbie Keane with any MLS other club other than LAG. It does seem like he was on board with leaving though. I wonder where he has in mind for his final stop (I would assume final) - guessing back over in Europe?

Game should sell out but the crowd won't be as crazy as on a weekend
there are temporary bleachers up in the south end (for the Grey Cup) and they have been put on sale.

So I think we will have over 30,000 in attendance

1 of these is not like the other!

Chicarito shouldn't come to MLS until he's 31, he still has another 2-3 years of play in Germany

When NASL 2.0 blows up, there's no doubt he'll get a shot in MLS. Dude's been top class ever since he came to the states and became a Metrobulls legend.

zomg, gamez!





the Olympic Stamdium in Montreal is sold out for this one, and the late game is in Seattle, so should be some outstanding atmosphere tonight, if nothing else. hopefully there is also some outstanding play though. previews: http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/1...-championships

Tuesday night's opener (8 pm ET; ESPN in the US | TSN1, TSN3 & RDS in Canada) is both the Eastern Conference Championship and a long-standing grudge match that goes beyond soccer and beyond sports. Montreal and Toronto have been at each other's throats for just about two centuries, and that's not going to change any time soon.

[...]

There is no rivalry to the nightcap (10 pm ET; FS1 in the US | TSN1, TSN3 & RDS2 in Canada), but there is plenty of mystery built largely around the health status of key players.

Jordan Morris limped out of Seattle's last game at halftime with a hamstring issue, and hamstring issues don't magically heal in two weeks. Shkelzen Gashi was the hero for Colorado against LA, and then he was stretchered off the field. We know Clint Dempsey won't be playing for the Sounders, and we know that Tim Howard will not be able to play for the Rapids.

Goal machine Nelson Valdez had to be subbed out for Seattle against Dallas, and Jermaine Jones is coming off 161 tough minutes for the US national team. Both guys will probably be fine to go, and yet it's 100 percent fair to question just how close to full strength they are.

Toronto don't look terrible, but could definitely see them ending up losing this game 3 or 4-nil.
