I wonder how good his DJ skillz are.




#1442220 USA Post-World Cup Thread

So, for the US to finally play in NJ. all they have to do is make a World Cup final!

It doesn't look like it's possible, but it would have been cool if the US played in that Round of 16 match on July 4th in Philly, in what is the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Most importantly, a long-awaiting hero finally makes the MF Hall of Fame!

Congratulations, Cordt Weinstein!

Thanks for the memories and all the hard work keeping this up for so long, MF.

 

This is the time every year when I think to myself, "hmmm ... I wonder if Bigsoccer still exists?".

The third place game may be the worst ever. Two teams that just had their WC dreams dashed, playing on short rest in the July heat and humidity in Miami.

The quiet is getting a little worrying now

It's discouraging to see that there are now no names at all in MF's Rumor Mill.

 

Maybe we can put George Weah back in there now that his term as President is over??




#1441117 2023 Jersey is "different"

Posted by Speedball on 08 January 2024 - 12:54 PM

Hey everyone, I had tried to hook someone up with a 2019 Parley jersey I came across. Mail came early yesterday and snowplow took out the mailbox last night. Found the package. Jersey is ruined. If anyone is selling one (large or XL), please message me. Thanks!

You should submit a tort claim with the Township for the mailbox. I sent an email to our Clerk asking if you can submit one for the contents too, but have not yet heard back.

 

FYI - My Township usually just sends the DPW out to replace the mailbox with a plain, black one.

Called up to January USMNT camp ...  :ph34r:




#1440683 2024 Schedule

Posted by Speedball on 21 December 2023 - 10:56 AM

Going to best of 5 this year.    Top 12 in each division make the playoffs automatically, the remaining teams have a round-robin play-in tournament for two additional slots, but can only use their MLS Next roster.

I'm OK with this as long as they bring back the 90's MLS penalty kicks.

My memory of Mattaus was him holding the ball and waving his hands around like it was magically going to direct someone to make the perfect run.

#1440459 Barlow traded!

Posted by Speedball on 18 December 2023 - 12:05 PM

Clearly, the holdup is that Chicago wants to get a multi-year contract in place before they finalize the trade and the league not adding a fourth DP has complicated negotiations.
