Nealis seems intent on studying exactly how long it takes for a Miami player to come take the ball from him

Dare I say "wasteful"

generally in favor of anything leaning metro, ill take it. wouldnt call this super "wearable" but should look pretty cool on the field

Jorge Ruvalcaba joins Red Bull New York - Arrives in record deal from UNAM Pumas Red Bull New York have signed Jorge Ruvalcaba from Liga MX giants UNAM Pumas in a deal worth $6.5 million (€5.5m) plus add-ons. The deal is the joint-most expensive in club history. Ruvalcaba has sign...

Don't love this leak but I get a strong sense this is one I'll like 10x more in full kit+on field

Feels like a position we shouldn't be drafting in with Stokes, AJ, and maybe even Causey now in the system. But I wonder if GK has been identified as a most realistic possibility of translating a draft pick to MLS games? Or the highest floor, perhaps

Not expecting the MLSNP success to translate immediately but it's exciting to have a guy that Knows The Club. Also encouraged for what this means in terms of integrating Mehmeti, etc.

Glendenning looks like a must-sign honestly

Antioch of the Holy Hand Grenade?

Saving this

eleven-on-eleven-so-far

@footballramble.bsky.social you'll be pleased to know the PIF Posse was front and center amidst the fan zone celebrations at MetLife Stadium. Regrettably didn't have time to head over for a taste of their offerings but something tells me that was fine

Nvm, drop him to Starting Quality, very fair

Johnny didn't exactly shine either the last couple of weeks tho. My greater concern is how Poch is utilizing the 6, whoever it is. Not that we can expect that to change before next summer..

Yeah that would be amazing

There is Greenroom right down the block, albeit a bit further

In an off-season of overhaul, really exciting to have a familiar face and local guy back. Not to mention the depth this provides

Happy for him, sad day tho. Can't help but rack my brain trying to recall the last player that actually retired a red bull? Somehow the last I can recall (not counting 1-day contract stuff) is ... Henry.. ?

doled out to important players for mundane offenses. The counter argument is that you can't have players making yellow card challenges (tactical, etc) every game - but I simply don't understand why that's worse than these suspensions. Cheers

@footballramble.bsky.social a mailbag question for you - I've long wondered about the benefit that yellow card accumulation suspensions bring to the game and I come up empty every time. Why is this not a more contentious law of the game? It feels like these are just unnecessary suspensions (1/2)

This is amazing! Ben, how is a DP classified as NOT being able to be bought down? I'm unclear where that info comes from, is it contractual or something?

I'm terribly sorry, Marcus.

couple of months at best? As an American, I'm not often one to say we get things right over here but if you look at other sports like basketball, Andy, international competition is reserved for the bigger moments and it's special when it comes around.
I'll officially posit there's simply too much

This one is for Luke and Andy - why do we need so many international breaks? Of course the common understanding is that coaches need time to test different players and work out the kinks of their system while the team gels. But do we think this REALLY happens efficiently when only together every

Assuming this does not include penalties whether during play or shootouts?
