He may be short but he's stocky
(let's not even mention the two famous Argentinians with a similar body type and playing style)
Based on his highlight videos he actually plays a bit like Tommy Thompson so hopefully the kid can learn some moves from him...

Why can't they be legitimate fans?
It's like, you know, like, they're, uh..... not good enough, right now.
He sounds like he's holding in a really long hit.
I'm sure most are. Just seems odd to me that a team from halfway across the world looks to have drawn more support than the one across the Hudson.

BWP!
Dude, after the past ten years, I don't think any arsenal fan is a bandwagon fan

Robles read that perfectly.

Did I hear the MLS is 0-6-2 in international friendlies this year? Hopefully the MLS gets win #1 today. I hear all the time how the MLS has improved, but they still aren't showing it against international competition.
That is true.
I've been reading that a lot of season ticket holders actually flipped their tickets for crazy amounts.
We've shown it in a few games (Seattle, Columbus) and really shat the bed in others (LA, based on fucking Bruce Arena.)
Regardless, we definitely have gotten better and we will continue to. Next season will be really interesting with the two new clubs coming in, especially if the salary cap is raised.
I'd be very surprised if the salary cap is not raised significantly next year
Not many, they need to get the word out about it. They gotta mention how easy it is to get there when they talk about the ticket plans.
BWP's out already?
It's not always the case that these types are bandwagon fans but many certainly are.
My cousin became an Arsenal fan in the early 2000s, I think with a lot of Eurodouches you can tell when they became a fan based on which team they support: Man United, "invincibles" Arsenal, UCL winners Liverpool, Chelsea, Man United, Guardiola's Barcelona, now Bayern and Man City...
Let's be honest when Sac Republic played yesterday the stadium wasn't exactly packed with West Brom fans, is that a coincidence?
How many of these people have ANY real connection to the team they support?
Some people I know flipped it for the whole cost of their season ticket. I lowballed and got half
They're redoing the nearby path station eventually, right? When is that happening? Will it improve things?
Me too, but until that happens I'm not holding my breath.
I started following soccer in 2005. I decided that Liverpool would be my team because I was living in Sheffield, UK at the time and the soccer fans I knew all loved Man U and hated Liverpool. They were also all assholes. It was an easy choice for me.
There are plenty of options but only the path is mentioned.
They also don't mention the places to go before and after the game. Lots of people come by train go to the stadium and get back in the train after. That's not a quality day out imo
That's not the problem. On weekends the World Trade Center to Newark line does not run. That line is a quick and easy 20 minutes to Harrison. Renovations are going to go on until next year
Now you take a train from midtown that takes 35 mins to journal square then transfer to another train that takes you to Harrison in ten minutes. Those trains are usually infrequent and overcrowded.
For real, the only ads I've ever seen for us have been some posters plastered in parts of Manhattan.
the results from these friendlies are meaningless. I wish we didn't have them. Just detrimental for the MLS teams. EPL clubs will never host other clubs when they are in the middle of the season.

Somewhat dull game. Good job by RBNY to get the win.
I didn't see too much from Zelalem. He had a couple of nice touches and his passing was fine, but there wasn't much spark from him. Still, he's only 17 and presumably he'll play more central in the future rather than out on the wing.
In other news, Fulham are up 2-0 on DCU. Emerson Hyndman started for Fulham.

That just kicked off. Bradley, Zusi, and Besler are all playing.

Soo, coincidentally the year Liverpool won Champions League? ;-)
But of course I was speaking of people who live here yet consider all American teams (usually even the national team) to be beneath them, whereas you obviously support your local teams...
