senorsoupe Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I actually think its foolish from a marketing perspective to have team names sound like European team names. It may satisfy the hardcore soccer fans but there is something uniquely North American about team names they should pursue to try to market to the casual fans who like things to be more American and there is nothing more American than naming your sports team after a fierce animal or some other unique local feature 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Lviv Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Anyone offering odds on Atlanta not to qualify for the end of season play offs? They are an absolute gang having not replaced any of Leandro Perez, Nagbe, Gressel or brought in another striker for Martinez. They’ve replaced them with shite like Peza and Hyndman and it shows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking better, I think the standard over this "tournament" has been pretty poor. Minnesota should win well next. I think Danny Wilson got sent off last game, might be wrong. I like seeing how Scottish boys do in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they do that for emphasis, try to show that they are proper fans, like the Europeans. The same mindset that has seen them move away from the Americanised names in favour of tedious generic City, FC and United. It's a load of bollocks, though, I suppose, we do the same in reverse. British American football or ice hockey teams will all be called Pirates, Bears, Lions, etc, rather than, say, Rovers or Town.

Accent-Unknown Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Just now, Karpaty Lviv said: Ex Aberdeen and Hibs player Stephen Glass named interim manager Coach of their USL team so it makes sense for now while they look for their permanent hire.
