Yeah seems like that’s the path they’re setting up. Not Smir for sure.

Same, and I love having our big international players for those games! Watch San Diego whoop us in June so hard it blew Wessel Speel across the Atlantic or (waves arms at June-July 2024 nightmare skid) wasn’t fun!

It’s also kind of funny to watch people scream “I’m calling my STH rep right now to cancel!!!” considering 1) the renewal window passed (I’m not even a STH and I know this), and 2) this doesn’t affect next season.

Or “I’m never spending a dime on this team ever again!” Loser-ass “fan” mentality

Damn, don’t go to /r/minnesotaunited and say that you’re indifferent to cautiously optimistic about the MLS schedule change, it’s a guaranteed downvote and easy way to be told you’re a moron.

The team gets maybe 2 games in June already (while missing our top players which has lead to consistent losses during that month). It starts back up mid-July. And the team is already saying they’re working with the league for away games during those worst months. It’s basically shifting a few weeks

As you can see by the chart, we literally already play in late February and all of March. I was there for the home opener in February. I did, in fact, survive the encounter

All the Nordic countries, Germany’s Bundesliga has a very similar winter break (actually shorter than the new MLS one in 27-28)

They play in the cold and wet in Europe. Regularly, in fact. Really (and honestly I want to make a chart to show this since I’m a visual person) it’s really only a handful of games shifting. We already play only 1-2 home games in June anyway, and a handful in July.

I think this will end up being a net good and probably end up being just fine, even in Minnesota.

She could not wait to pull her hand away fast enough (and proceeded to wipe it too, don’t blame her)

If that happens I’m almost thinking of it like Liga MX with Apertura and Clausera

Also works pretty well as a heat map of the markets MLS actually gives a shit about (a white hot blip over Miami-Dade county notwithstanding)

Coming into someone’s mentions out of nowhere to whine about playoffs formats is so silly. Seethe I guess.

It’s a little meta, but on the broadcast after the game ended Wiebe was interviewing a furious Schmetzer but he was was cut off mid-word by a shot of one of the groundskeeper’s Goldens running around and being happy. It was fantastic. My kind of sports broadcasting.

Love this club and this coaching team has the juice.

Dr. Bill needs to give them what they need for the next level.

I can’t think of any online MLS fanbase who has less chill than Sounders fans.

They’re not mad Wes. Don’t tell the newspaper that they’re mad.

I 100% called Thomas trying to go top bins with it too, because of course GKs hate top bins

For Robin Lod, this is like the Finnish equivalent of an emotional outburst.

I’ve dreamed of LEGO Star Trek (and actual LEGO, not other brands) since I was a kid. This will be mine.
