Quite a good-sized contingent came up from Orlando for it.
Neat to see Khiry Shelton go #2. Another former Austin Aztex player.. a shame they won't get to work with so many quality youth players now!

Hey @NYCFC fans want to see some goals from @khiryshelton14? Check out numbers 37, 40, 43, 47, 51 http://bit.ly/1G2Dhec #Aztex
Naming the MVP award after a guy who literally just retired is so Mickey Mouse. I mean, yeah, if you want to name the award after him some 50 years from now when Landon is old and grey and the league has a long history of great American players of which he would be considered the first, I'm all for that. Doing it now just makes you look desperate for the history that isn't quite there yet.

Quoting for new page.
E: I don't understand the dislike over the MVP trophy from a few of you guys. Lando was a great player, was a big win for the league, and is an American soccer legend. Why do they need to wait? He should have that honor of having a trophy named after him.

Agreed. I don't have a problem with naming it after him sometime in the future but literally months after he retires? Come on.
So going to try to attend both.
A bit late, but Chelsea bias their U21 team very young because by the time they hit 19/20 most of their players have transitioned to the loan farm. Scott got subbed on in the second half for a 15 year old.

even though you can't score on a throw in apparently the goal counts because it deflected off the goalies hands. goalie should have let it go through. Also, the thrower must have both feet on the ground when he releases the ball, which he did. Insane play

I've let a few of those in on principal during high school and one time in college after joining the varsity team briefly. They don't count, and I get the ball. It's great. That said I love the spectacle of flip throw ins, but they really don't add much when playing at higher levels. At a certain point, long throw ins are treated as corners once throw ins reach the defensive 1/3 and they're really easy to defend against.
I think he could be decent, I don't know much about him but I liked how he mentioned Tony Tchani in his interview, clearly he watches MLS closely to even know who that is. It's just that with the fourth pick I was hoping for something more.
Roldan goes 16th to Seattle and Stolz goes 18th to NYRB who are saying they'll be able to sign him
SuperDraft: Marsch certain of signing Stolz: "We will see him in a Red Bulls jersey"
somehow even in the draft the rich manage to get richer...
Not sure why certain guys (Roldan) drop, I couldn't believe Patrick Mullins fell to New England at 11 last year, they didn't think he was athletic enough. In 2011 Joao Plata looked like the best player at the combine and he wasn't drafted until the end of the third round, because of his height.

The dream is officially dead.
I imagine unbelievably. He probably doesn't realize the fact that the Petke firing was a massive cockup on his part.

We got one that scored 63 goals in 47 games, though for a lower level. Hopefully he can produce at the highest level.
Whole Union coaching/scouting staff and Meulensteen were solid on the guy so that seems like good news.
You guys just got Leo Stolz with the 18th pick. You're not allowed to complain about the draft unless he stays in Germany.
I did say "unless he stays in Germany"... but:
1. There's no indication that he has actual offers in Germany, I think he's just going on trial.
2. Ives said he didn't sign with MLS is because he was trying to restrict which teams could draft him. Given that he was originally projected to go in the 2-4 range, I'm guessing he didn't want to end up in Montreal or with the Earthquakes. He's probably fine with going to NY.
3. It's entirely possible that they talked to him about signing before they drafted him, which would explain Marsh's confidence.
he wants that Landon Donovan trophy

With the subsequent loan to his dream club red bull Leipzig
I love it!

To all @mls draft picks today, doesn't matter where you start, just get in the race. 2005 supplemental 4th rd.
Took it. Shat all over their mobile video platform as it is mostly non-functional. The UI on the mobile apps is outdated and not really much of a pleasure to use.

Well they are both clubs at the bottom of the standings. However, he said he was only interested in going to LA or NY
Perhaps he's never been to Montreal...

A few of the Quakes players live up here, but the commute to practice can be difficult and it is pricey.San Francisco is a great city but I think MLS players would have a hard time affording to live there

Apparently Jozy's new contract is 5 years $30m.
He's officially making more than Mario Mandzukic did when he played for Bayern. Jokes.
