What’s up! I’m an MLS and USMNT insider with The Athletic as well as Apple TV. I’ve previously written for MLSSoccer.com as well as The Guardian. I’m here to answer some questions starting at 11am ET.
Let’s get after whatever you want. Messi in Miami, Phil Neville in Portland, USMNT stuff, who’s next to come to MLS, mustache questions, all good.
Any idea when the Revs will announce a new sporting director and head coach?
Any hints to who they are looking at?
Why do you hate my team? (Please ignore my flair, it’s irrelevant to the question.)
Real and better question: if you were good enough to be an MLS starter at whatever your preferred position is, which team would you be on?
How good will the Crew be in year 2 under Nancy?
Tom, I got a pork roll, egg and cheese on an everything bagel yesterday and covered it in blue agave Sriracha. Do you approve or should I repent for a New Jersey sin?
More seriously - who is the biggest name you could realistically see transferred into MLS in 2024 aside from Suarez?
What is the most wild MLS rumor your heard and didn’t report on only for it to turn out to be true?
So if the Union thought Bobby Wood did something egregious as well why did nothing come of it.
Also mls cup matchup and who wins.
Talk about the Penne Vodka pizza.
Do you expect significant changes to the roster rules this offseason, or is MLS limited in what they can actually do (CBA, low-spending owners on committees, etc)?
Any stadium rumors out there? All eyes seem to be on the Revs now that NYCFC have their situation squared away. Any other “surprises” floating around?
Does Phil Neville have the potential to have a greater impact on MLS than Lionel Messi?
Hi Tom! Any update on DCU’s GM search?
what’s the scoop on roster rules changing this offseason? has the arrival of Messi shifted the mindset of ownerships in the league?
What are your predictions for the salary changes in the MLS?
Any idea why NYCFC is the only team not firing their coach?
Thoughts on Ben Olsen and Dynamo this season. HH played well this year and they look great (fingers crossed for tomorrow). I personally see them as a threat for West final and could make surprise run to the final if they finish their chances as they create so much from open play.
