I went to an Austrian league game last year, Rapid vs Graz. Granted, it was only one game (and Salzburg is the best team in that league), but it wasn't exactly wonderful soccer.

 

Fun time at the stadium, though.

Gulbrandsen was really good, we just didnt give him enough time to adjust. I think he would've been a well above average forward in MLS.

 

It looks like he had a really good career in the 2nd tier in Germany, which is probably at or slightly below MLS level, so that's one metric.

This guy is not a starter in the AUSTRIAN Bundesliga... I hope he comes here and excels, but Id be happy if he adds depth.

His resume is pretty comparable in quality to Royer.  The main difference is that during their time in Austria, Rzat was on a much better team.

How many of our guys would start on that team?

Id feel different if they sent us one of their starters. Definitely not complaining about this signing, though. If hes a difference maker, great. But, Im cool even if hes just a useful role player. At least hes a guy, in theory, that can hit the ground running when he gets here.

I went to a Salzburg game last August. Gulbrandsen started and scored.  Salzburg won 5-1.  The opposing team (newly promoted) was terrible.  I think most of the players on the MLS team would be able to play in Austria., and probably some of the guys from the II team.  Actually think some of the younger guys like Etienne could do well in Austria.

 

Salzburg's red bull arena was maybe 20% full for this league game.  

 

I understand that Salzurg's access to Euro competition and proximity to Leipzig attracts talent, but I don't think the league is as competitive as MLS.

Is the R or the Z silent?


According to the linked article, RZAT is pronounced SHH!

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

Yeah, almost reminds me of the Duke basketball coach, mike kzryzewski.

 

Watched a bunch of this dude today and have to take back some of my earlier thoughts about him.  After seeing him more I prefer him closer to goal.  Initially liked the idea of having him next to Felipe but I think it's almost wasting his offensive ability.

 

Between what we have, plus him and Kaku, I think we're going to create chances and score some goals.  The curious thing will be that a lot of teams have improved, and although that happens every year, it feels like it happened even moreso this year.

Assuming other teams didn't take massive quantum leaps: if Metro keeps Taxi, adds the players we expect, gets anything out of Collin, and the coaches and youngsters worked hard in the off-season, gotta think the team that took "best MLS team ever" down to the away goals rule will be pretty durned competitive. "The team is the star," and this team is overall meaner. I look forward to people thinking NYC is better when we go and beat. That. Blood Money. Ayass.

Then we win the cup and Jay Z buys the team and turns us into a tri state St. Pauli.

And hires Milo as chief of scouting.

RED. BULL. OUT.
