MLS 2022/23 Season: Part 2

Hannah Myers16 said:Ran into this article today and honestly, it actually put a smile on my face. Let’s just keep it this way so everyone stays happy:

I really hadn't thought to look at this article before, but I have to say, reading about the very foundations of the corruption we're seeing today has truly brightened my mood...

Personally, I don’t have an issue with it; to me, it’s a legendary track by The Pip$'s, truly top-tier stuff. But seriously, looking at the lyrics, isn't it basically an open invitation to violence? It's like watching someone walk into a high-stakes poker game with nothing but a bluff and a grin. How can people just sit there and ignore that kind of rhetoric?
Pure hypocrisy, squared.

Ima. 😁

The fans over at the Falcons are making similar complaints—though, if you ask me, they have a legitimate point to make.

If I were to offer a bit of common sense here—not that anyone seems interested in it—I’d suggest that it’s often difficult to get a clear read on things because certain seats might be empty, yet from a distance, they aren't even visible to the naked eye...

The Dinamo fans are complaining about the same thing—and honestly, I can see why they’re pissed.

If you ask me, it’s hard to get a clear picture sometimes because empty seats just blend into the background when you're looking from a distance. Makes sense, right?

And those complaints about the Dinamo crowd? Mostly coming from their buddies in Rijeka... especially when we're talking about attendance numbers.

Solid read. ☕

Solid read. ☕

There were attempts last year to force teams from cities like San Antonio and Kansas City into the qualifiers, but those plans flopped. Kansas City made it through the proper channels this year, while San Antonio is still trying to find a loophole. To me, the team from Hero City is the most legitimate squad out there and deserves that qualifying spot. It doesn't matter how much nonsense they use to deny licenses to teams like the ones from the Ozarks—they just don't meet the criteria.

For years now, local Republicans have been pulling the strings in these regional leagues. It’s just business as usual.

Houston, San Antonio, El Paso... honestly, it’s just more of the same.

Some things just aren't for sale; for everything else, there's the Republican Party.☕

Looking at the town of Unešić, I’d say it’s pretty much the same story across a huge chunk of the southern counties—you have this one single party that consistently holds a massive lead, basically acting as the sole architect for every major social and political issue in the area.


It’s a bit of a paradox, isn't it? On one hand, you have people constantly calling for progress and real changes in how things are run locally, especially when it comes to community staples like soccer. But on the other hand, you look at the history and realize the exact same group has been holding the reins for thirty years straight.

Sure, that holds water, but there’s a massive catch here—the reality is that the local soccer club is basically just the result of one private guy pouring his soul and money into it for years. The local government? They barely even touch the thing...
Frankenstein's monster from Chicago, on the other hand...

What a total joke.

Congrats to Rudeš on making it to the big leagues.

I hope they have a great season against everyone else, but I'm rooting for them to lose every single game against Rijeka. 👍

🤣

We really need to see a few more local neighborhood clubs making waves in the Major Leagues (both the classic version and the one they just rebranded). ☕

They haven't stolen anything; they're playing some seriously solid football. 👍 They’d be sitting right at the top of the table ahead of autumn-season Seattle Sounders.

Honestly, I’m rooting for them to get relegated immediately so we can finally see the real American giants back in the big leagues: maybe some teams like Inter Miami, LA Galaxy, or even Orlando City and San Jose.
Zadar? No way. Let 'em rot.

Why bother with these supposed "giants" when they’ve spent years looking down their noses at local neighborhood clubs instead of actually supporting them?

It’s just pure American delusion. It’s like someone thinks teams like Zadra, Cibalija, or Karlovac actually have a shot at becoming the next Gorica or Belupo.

They have ten times the fan base, the political backing, and the financial muscle, yet they can't manage to outperform a side like Rudeš, Gorica, or Inker. These comments are honestly laughable.

Personally, I’d much rather see teams from the West Coast climbing to the big leagues. There’s just something special about keeping that tradition alive—celebrating a championship title while looking out over the Pacific. 😁

A championship title with a view of the ocean?

Ladies and gentlemen, Rijeka is the only club capable of pulling this off. They are the only legitimate threat to Dinamo. There are some folks out there who have convinced themselves they’re contenders against the top dog in the league, but what have they actually accomplished? Absolutely nothing. It’s like walking through a local farmer's market or a downtown street fair at 3:00 PM, constantly preaching about how you never shop at big-box retailers... only for someone to catch you at an organic Whole Foods picking out tomatoes.
Only Rijeka ☕

Of course, the crowd will keep spinning that same old yarn about avoiding the shopping malls, searching for any excuse to justify their epic failure.

So what, this whole situation is just one big compost heap? You guys are basically the dumping ground for Big Brother's trash?
I'm with you... you're definitely running a purely organic operation here.
