Official Major League Soccer/US Men's National Team Thread

[MAD]

Anyone know why Kentucky and South Carolina are able to have Division 1 mens soccer teams?
They both play in Conference USA.
Why doesn’t Tennessee or anyone else have a team?

Title IX. Gotta have the same amount of women’s sports teams as men’s sports teams. I don’t remember which team keeps UT from having one, but I’m sure someone on here will know.

The favorites KC led almost the whole match.
Real Salt Lake wins it in extra time.

Watching a little of the USL Championship, the divide between the MLS and USL is very noticeable.

Last Conference Final spot up for grabs! Will New England or NYCFC take it?

 

[MAD]

Looks like both #1 seeds will be out

 

[MAD]

Spoke too soon, nycfc gets a red, looks like we are headed to penalty kicks

Big money transfer for MLS

Glad to see that. While I don’t see MLS competing for my viewership vs the EPL and some of other the larger leagues in my lifetime, I do hope the quality keeps picking up here stateside.

So if UT adds women's gymnastics, like they should, then UT could add men's soccer. I think it happens within 5 years.

Edit: I didn't quote the posts I meant to, but I believe that's the way Title IX works

That would be great

They’d probably give those extra scholarships to the baseball team if I had to take a guess. It’s not equal number of teams, it’s equal number of scholarships, which is why you see more random women’s sports to equal the football team

The championship is set! We'll see you on Sunday at 2:00PM ET on ESPNU

So, a USMNT game this evening ... will we be playing our younger roster, either because of EPL duties for guys like Pulisic, and/or because we can take this opportunity with our greener kids in this non-CONCACAF game? What should we expect from each side?

Thanks for the reminder, forgot about this match.
It will be a great opportunity to see a lot of the younger players.
