So when I think of best MLS managers of all time, I certainly think of Tata as #1. Sigi in the #2 position (both non-U.S. citizens). Then maybe Marsh, Vernes, Bradley, and I am super impressed with what Almeyda has been able to do. If you or your Dad mentioned Bruce Arena I'll ban you right now. Bruce Arena was not mentioned in the discussion. We were talking more the likes of Vanney, Schmetzer, Bradley, etc. Passable managers but understand the culture of sport in their country.

Eco 3,008 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 As for this game, it's 1-0 in favor of the Crew. Absolute shambles of a match. Barco is a ghost, Pity is playing more like the San Marino POTY than the South American POTY. I have watched every United game, but I so want to avoid this second half.

In terms of American coaches, I think Bradley is probably the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco 3,008 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I knew I missed someone. Gressel's loss was a massive one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deco 39 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 They left my corners a bit late! Only just crept to ten with one minute of stoppage time left. I can’t lie - that wasn’t a very entertaining match. I feel both teams could’ve played better. Atlanta really are missing Martinez up front, they didn’t look too threatening at all.

Eco 3,008 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 And it's over. 3 games, 0 goals, 3 losses. Regardless of whether your not you agree with this tournament, and yes...we don't have Josef, but that was pathetic. I can't think of ONE person who proved worth a damn. Pity couldn't cross to save his life, Barco was invisible, defense was shambles, Jahn and Castro were embarrassing, and yet De Boer did nothing.

Mpache 672 Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Ben Olsen is an idiot. Flores wasn't performing as a target man which is way out of his role, so instead of playing him where he actually does well, he benchs him. Twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After what I'd grown used to with the MLS, I thought being polite was the best thing to do! I must admit that I''m really enjoying watching the earlier kick-offs. I'm watching Cincinnati v. NYRB at the moment. Even though the Red Bulls are dominating and pressing up the pitch, they're really squandering any reasonable chances they're getting so far.

Ha - I'm watching it as well, but after watching the last matchday of the Championship, this is going to be nothing more than background music.

I need them to score in the first half. At this rate it'll be a 0-0 as I can't see Cincinnati posing much of a threat! At least I'd get my stake back if that happened.

Mpache 672 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 I saw the game and ditto to what @Deco has said. Cincinnati had 4 attempts total compared to NYRB's 20 or something around that, and yet they won 2-0. Effective but one-sided games are the worst kind.

Columbus have probably been the best team so far. And I agree it would be cool, we don't see enough Ohio teams win championships in sport. Cleveland Cavaliers won a few years ago, but I'm not sure about others? NHL they don't win it, and Browns are the laughing stock of the NFL. No idea about MLB though, its the league I pay the least attention to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
