Immigration. What a beautiful topic. In a country made mostly of people whose ancestors were not here 3 centuries ago (a blink in historical terms), we really have some posters having very bad opinions about migrants, documented and "illegal". Truth is, immigrants contribute a great deal to the US economy and overall they input more than they take. At some point the US decided to cut back (or at least not invest to modernize) their immigration system and that has created huge backlogs...

Major Roster rule changes in 27-28 Season

invalid@example.com (nick) — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:48:45 +0000

I have watch or listened to 3 recent Don Garber interviews. In each he keeps referring to significant Roster Rule changes as MLS switches to the new calendar.

A couple of other owners have also made rumbling about the changes, but I have yet to see something specific.

I have to questions. First, has anyone insight on what is being proposed/implemented on new Roster Rules that accompany the new alignment with the global transfer market.

And second, if you could make changes, what 3...

"We have to remember, this is Germany" [followed by sly, sycophantic smile]
- Kyle "The Hair" Martino (June 6, 2026).

Yeah, so what? That lineup today didn't exactly scream Beckenbauer or Klinsmann. They've been dumped out of the group stage the last 2 WCs.

The timing on this rant probably isn't great going into a WC, but c'mon, this isn't 1990, can we ditch the "we should just be happy to be here" mentality? Is it too much to ask for some real analysis? Is it possible to call out...

Injury concerns are mounting across several leading World Cup 2026 camps, with packed club schedules leaving a number of stars arriving on international duty in uncertain condition.

Transfer Window Talk!

@Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 loves closing the summer and winter window threads, despite the fact that rumors happen all year long. I know the transfer thread is probably one of the more busy threads and requires a lot of attention, but there's no need to rush to close them.

Some of the rumors that have popped up since the last thread was closed:

- Declan Rice is our no. 1 transfer priority, allegedly. But he is also too exspensive.

- Because of the above, Phillips is...

1st Group Match: Germany vs Curaçao

invalid@example.com (Dage) — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:23:36 +0000

It's finally time to start the tourney for the German National Team. As the image shows, it's a brand new opponent, on and off the World Cup stage.

Germany enters the World Cup with plenty of question marks despite an impressive run of 9 wins from its last 10 matches. It remains difficult to assess whether the team truly belongs among the tournament favorites.

6/12/26 9PM EST USA vs Paraguay: Game 1 of the big show

invalid@example.com (OWN(yewu)ED) — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:23:19 +0000

And here......we......go.......

Miles Robinson aside I think that was our starting 11 today, and honestly, we saw the difference it made without having Chris Richards. Ice baths, steroid shots, whatever has to be done, get Chris Richards's ankle game ready for this. Our most important player just on position scarcity alone. If Chris Richards is there, I think we win that game against Germany, draw at worst.

Poch needs to wait until June 11th with 1 minute left before making that call....
