2024 MLS Season Thread

OCSC thrashing Cavalry in CCL tonight in Canada. Hopefully make it 2-0 against Canadian teams this week against Montreal on Saturday.

Pretty telling how this match got almost zero coverage

shite this thread wasn’t even started until over an hour after kick off

I honestly think people have Inter Miami fatigue

It’s to the point it’s probably turning people off on MLS. It’s been non stop Miami Miami and Messi . Everything on every social. The league should be celebrating its champion on opening night not a team that finished towards the bottom. The league trying to claim Messi’s ballon d’or is pathetic. Apparently Miami got into roster compliance just hours before the match but who knows how long it will last with another big time transfer from Argentina about to happen.

Also doesn’t look like season pass will be free again for T Mobile so there goes a huge chunk of viewership. Also the league is pulling the same stunt as last year by putting 90% of each weeks matches in the same time blocks and not spreading them out to increase viewership.

There has been zero reinvestment of the injections of cash due to Messi. No expanded rosters, yet increased fixtures. We saw ticket prices increase though directly from the franchises though so they can charge you 5 x FV to see Messi. That’s if you are lucky and they don’t hit the secondary market.

Then of course we have the US Open cup shite show. Lots of people are not going to support a league trying to kill off soccer in America so it can become the single focal point and controlling entity.

The latest example of MLS kicking itself in the dick is this fiasco with officials. The league and owners are so cheap they don’t want to pay professional referees. So the league is being officiated by amateurs.

Watching Atlanta vs Orlando. What a bad product.
