So we got a USL franchise this year, and they are breaking records for attendance.  There is already talk of them moving up to MLS, which I guess would be cool.  They just announced today that they'll host a friendly vs. Crystal Palace in mid-July.

I really underestimated the draw of soccer in this town.  They did it right by having the games at Nippert Stadium (the U of Cincinnati football field) so it's conveniently located for the college students, and they smartly marketed it towards millennials, whom I guess are really into soccer.

It's called football.

It's called football.

Seriously Tamas?  You're going to try and start THAT ONE up again?

Was worth a shot.

The goaltender saved it.

Another team in MLS?

Given their allergy to promotion and relegation I wonder what the future is for MLS. A central conference?

Wtf is wrong with man utd?
They have their best season in years...and sack the manager.

I wonder whether it's van Gaals lack of charisma they're objecting to. Hiring Moriniho purely for his crazy media personality.

Apparently the players hated Van Gaal's guts. And it's not been their best season, they were 4th and qualified for the Champions League last year.

Lies and slander, that's impossible.

Mourinho confirmed for United. I've liked that team ever since I saw Schmeichel play for them in the 90's so it'll be interesting/heart wrenching to see if he can turn the team into an object of disdain as he did with Chelsea who I also liked until 2004.
