#1444263 2024 New York Red Bulls II Thread

Posted by Brian.MLS on 18 March 2024 - 01:05 PM in MetroFanatic.com

I sent an email to mls about match replays - if anyone has any ideas as to why they'd not offer them and or creative ways to get around this let me know.


Last year you could pause the match and it stayed "live" for a couple hours after the match. They took that away this year.

I am in an industry where I work very closely with Apple HQ on a regular basis. Next time I am out in California, I'm going to see if I can get an intro to anyone on that side of the house just to pick their brains a bit. If they are paying for someone to call the match, silly they don't keep it readily available to the public. Wouldn't surprise me if it will be a future option for a premium type subscription along with archived MLS matches.

Solid 2-0 win.

Should not be that close for Wednesday's USOC match.

Halftime. Pretty dominant half, especially on the attacking side.

O'Connor reminds me a lot of Sean Nealis.

Sofo has speed and skill. Lacks size but has a good enough touch to make up for it.

Mina definitely a more deliberate attacking wingback. Built like Olave. A bit reckless at times.

Kasule down with a neck injury after colliding with Sserwadda. Not looking good.

Back up and on the pitch. Whew.

First time in club history between both the first team and second team that a player opened the scoring to the season twice. Wiki scored the first goal in 2023 as well.

Nice assists from Sofo and Kasule.

Duncan ties Petke for most yellows in league matches. Petke started 65 more matches...

Duncan is horrendous.
Tolkin doesn't look like he even wants to be here.

#1444120 2024 New York Red Bulls II Thread

Posted by Brian.MLS on 16 March 2024 - 12:02 PM in MetroFanatic.com

I looked at the current standings and notice that the team that won in a shootout after a regulation tie were given 3 point and the loser 0 , last season the winner got 2 points and the loser 1 point. Another crew-up ??


Yes, another issue.

Between randomly ending secondary assists in MLS, missing primary assists in Next Pro last year, rosters from two years ago, inaccurate standings, player's fathers being listed, Charlie DeMarco being added to the roster but the team announces an entirely different GK, missing Collahuazo, inaccurate player numbers, etc... MLS really needs to find a better partner or hire better interns to update this stuff. Very amateur.

Really hope there are match replays available, it's the only way I can keep up.


Just searched for last night's matches. They are unavailable. Looks like "Live" only again and then stored in a vault for some unknown reason.

Former FC Tulsa GK, Dallas Odle, signed.
Not on the team's roster but Charlie DeMarco is? Knowing MLS roster managers, probably an error and DeMarco was never here. Who knows.

48hrs from the start of the season and we still have players on the league's roster that left 2 years ago...

#1444077 Metro - Miami Game Thread

Posted by Brian.MLS on 13 March 2024 - 07:34 PM in MetroFanatic.com

Eile (U21) and Forsberg are getting the call. Coronel likely will too.

MLS' inability to schedule around international breaks is mind-numbing.

May be seeing the debut of AJ Marcucci if Meara isn't ready. Reyes steps in for Eile. Stroud or Harper-Morgan; Vanzeir-Manoel as the potential front 4.



#1444055 Where are They Now? 2024 Edition

Carlos Rivas just signed with Chattanooga FC and will be up against NYRBII players this year.



#1444044 Metro - Columbus Game Thread

Posted by Brian.MLS on 12 March 2024 - 10:22 AM in MetroFanatic.com

Vanzeir likely back for this one. Someone mentioned to me he had to go back to Belgium for a personal matter and his last match missed wasn't really injury related.

With that, hoping Stroud moved to the bench and Vanzeir steps back in.

Coronel
Duncan-SNealis-Eile-Tolkin
Edelman-Amaya
Vanzeir-Forsberg-Morgan
Manoel

Bench: Marcucci/Meara, DNealis, Harper, Reyes, Stroud, Carmona, Gjengaar, Burke and one of Donkor/Mitchell/Hall



#1444037 No MLS in 2024 Open Cup

Posted by Brian.MLS on 11 March 2024 - 08:43 PM in MetroFanatic.com

Will be interesting...
Max 7 first teamers
90 day loan requirement(!)
Can't be DP/TAM player
Must be averaging less than 15min per game through this weekend.

https://twitter.com/...CjEdHywiQQ&s=19

The 3 month loan requirement will surely cause a few guys to not be included.

Likely looking at Stokes, OConnor, Alexandre, Ofori, Estrela, Mina, and maybe Hall.



#1444033 2024 New York Red Bulls II Thread

Posted by Brian.MLS on 11 March 2024 - 06:29 PM in MetroFanatic.com

Less than a week away from the new season and the MLS Next Pro league website still has players like Lamine Conte, Nico Rabiu, Daniel De Leon and Ezra Widman, all who left 2 years ago on the roster. The rest were from last year, few that are still here.

They also still have Nick Stokes, Aidan Stokes' dad, listed as a player.

It's embarrassing the league can be this outdated with this stuff and don't allow the individual clubs the ability to edit their own rosters.

Earthquakes II just made a deal with a local FC to essentially partner together and rebrand. Team will now be called The Town FC.

Akin to minor league baseball model. A few MLS clubs tried this in USL.

Great write up. Shame the reserves don't play against USL-C comp, would love to see that, but alas. 


A part of me would love to see them there, but USLC has really taken off since we last dominated that league. At the same time, we focused more on academy and growth. Based on the result against Hartford a couple weeks ago, probably better to be where we are.

Final 5-0. Next weekend: Start of the season in Columbus. Likely to feature a few first team guys who don't play Saturday.
