This will be the 15th MLS club subreddit I I have answered this question:
But with this club starting a new era with a new stadium and the MLS schedule changing to fall-to-spring should the Pigeons sign living legend Cristiano Ronaldo in 2027?
(Depending on if he retires or not,if he does retire this club can convince him to come out of retirement)
3 match losing streak (in all competitions)
Only 1 win in their last 5 matches (in all competitions)
Goal differential of 10-13 (-3)
Pathetic goalkeeping
And a pathetic midfield,
So what can Sir David Beckham the Mas Brothers Manager Hoyos and the supporters do to fix this Club's problems?
He may (or may not) retire after this season with Al-Nassr in the failing Saudi Pro League but shall he not retire (or come out of retirement) he would most likely come to MLS and Red Bull New York would most likely make an offer for him
There are many good things going for the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) right now,
Over half of the clubs (9) are averaging 10000 or more in attendance per match
This league is expanding to 18 clubs in 2028 (Atlanta & Columbus)
There is more sponsorship than ever
Attendance is up over 2025 (but below 2024 numbers for now)
And that this league we love has not been infested by a culture war scandal that has propelled this great league into the national zeltgiest* (unlike the WNBA),
But there are a few bad things going for the NWSL on the brink of a World Cup year (Women's)
Nearly half of the clubs draw less than 10000 people (7)
Only 4 of the 16 clubs control their stadium availability (Chicago** Denver Kansas City & North Carolina***)
Most NWSL clubs are second fiddle to MLS clubs (Where they play)
And that you need (to watch your club) 3 different streaming subscriptions to watch every match your club plays in the NWSL,
So what do y'all think?
What is wrong with the NWSL and what can Commissioner Berman the Advisory Board the Board Of Directors & supporters do to fix it?
*Elizabeth Eddy and her gross New York Post op-ed made the league relevant to a right-wing audience,but no NWSL scandal has become relevant since the SA allegations broke out in 2021
**Could change if the Chicago Stars move to Ryan Field in 2027
***Could change if North Carolina FC ever returns as an USL Premier (D1 & if it ever happens)
Yesterday I asked this question on the r/Ligue1 subreddit and people did not like it,
But with FIFA regulations now permitting club matches abroad:
With several USMNT players in Serie A (Busio,McKinnie,Pulisic,Musah):
8 of the 20 Serie A clubs owned by Americans (including the Big 3) :
&
With Calcio (Soccer) growing in America (3rd biggest sport in America),
Would y'all like to see Serie A hold an annual regular season match in the USA?
Yesterday we talked about the best run clubs in the USL ecosystem now what do y'all think are the worst run clubs in the USL ecosystem?
My picks are:
Spokane Zephyr FC (USL Super League-when they existed)
Charlotte Independence (USL League 1)
Chattanooga Red Wolves (USL League 1)
Spokane Velocity (USL League 1)
Brooklyn FC (USL Championship)
Miami FC (USL Championship)
&
Las Vegas Lights FC (USL Championship)
This is from someone who believes that US-1 and US-301 are better than I-95
Here are my picks:
USL League 1:
One Knoxville (reigning USL1 champions)
Portland Hearts Of Pine (Supporters are very loyal, every match is sold out even have Patrick Dempsey involved)
Forward Madison
USL Championship:
Detroit City FC (Loyal owners and supporters)
Louisville City FC (Most successful USL club and even makes a profit)
Pittsburgh Riverhounds (What Tuffy is doing in Pittsburgh is great)
Tampa Bay Rowdies (No longer owned by Stu Sternberg)
Sacramento Republic (hopefully one day Sacramento gets an MLS club)
&
Gainbridge USL Super League:
Tampa Bay Sun FC (Building a new stadium + Christina Unkel is club President and CEO)
Now what do y'all think?
What are the best run clubs in the USL ecosystem?
If the Wilf family does sign the legend the world would get one more Messi vs Ronaldo match before retirement,
First of all yesterday I posted this question to the Toronto FC subreddit and they did not like it at all,
Now to the question:
So the Buffalo Bills have a partnership with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) who own every single professional sports team in Toronto,
MLSE owns Major League Soccer (MLS) club Toronto FC and Toronto FC legend and MLS Cup Champion Jozy Altidore is a part owner of the Buffalo Bills,
Of course y'all Buffalo Bills fans know the team opened their new $2.1 billion 62000 seat Highmark Stadium near the site of the old beloved 73000 seat 1973 Highmark Stadium,
Bills Chief Operating Officer (and minority owner of 2 time NWSL champions Gotham FC) Pete Guelli said that Highmark Stadium has the ability to host soccer matches as well,
Bills Mafia (who also follow that other football known as soccer) what do y'all think?
Would you like to see Toronto FC go down the QEW and hold an annual MLS match or 2 at Highmark Stadium?
(likely against Inter Miami if Lionel Messi isn't retired by then)
If the Buffalo Bills can play a regular season game at Rogers Centre then Toronto FC can host an regular season match at Highmark Stadium,
He is one of if not the greatest player in soccer history not named Lionel Messi but he has a lot of baggage,
Despite it should the $25 billion net worth Hunt family make a bid to sign Cristiano Ronaldo next summer for Al-Nassr? (If he does not retire)
Buffalo Bills have a partnership with the owners of this club Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE):
Buffalo Bills have opened a new $2.2 billion 62000 seat Highmark Stadium near the site of the old 1973 73000 seat Highmark Stadium:
Bills COO Pete Guelli has reportably said that New Highmark Stadium can hold other sporting events including soccer matches,
So what do y'all think?
Would you like to see Toronto FC play at least one or two matches a season on the other side of the QEW at New Highmark Stadium?
Yes he is a legend:
But Cristiano Ronaldo is:
Old:
Not as good as he used to be:
(He was once so good he won the Ballon D'Or 4 times in 5 years with Real Madrid from 2013-2017)
An egomaniac:
And a rapist:
If Bobby Petrino was a soccer player it would be him,
But despite all that should Arthur M,Blank and Atlanta United sign Cristiano Ronaldo in 2027 on a free transfer from Al-Nassr? (If he does not hang up his cleats by then)

6 clubs in the United Soccer League have ceased operations in the past 3 years
(San Diego Loyal and Rio Grande Valley FC in 2023)
(Memphis 901 FC & Northern Colorado Hailstorm in 2024)
(North Carolina FC in 2025 and South Georgia Tormeta this year)
What do y'all think?
Who will join in that list and become the next USL club to shut down?
In case you do not follow the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) last week the owner of Racing Louisville and it's parent company Soccer Holdings John Neace said:
If attendance does not improve Racing Louisville would have to take action including and up to relocation,
Racing Louisville Is at or near the bottom in terms of NWSL attendance:
Their average attendance has declined from 5521 in 2025 to 5398 in 2026:
Only the Chicago Stars have an lower average attendance in the NWSL (4368)
In fact St Louis City SC MLS Next Pro club draws more people to their matches than Racing Louisville:
When John Neace & Soccer Holdings sells Racing Louisville,
Should Carolyn Kindle Taylor and the St Louis City SC ownership group buy Racing Louisville and relocate it to St Louis the soccer capitol of America?
It does not have to be from NASCAR it can be from any sanctioning body
