What were you hoping for? A ticker tape parade. It's a good hire and hopefully we'll see it help push the platform further in its development. But it really doesn't change the status quo.

That would be a major stumbling block.

I certainly agree on that front. SANZAAR nations should be looking to use the States as a middle point on the Spring tours. Either on their way to or from Europe. Engage more with them leading into potential integration at Test level. One year the Wallabies and AB's the next the Boks and Pumas...

Well. We have the Bledisloe Cup so we'd be fine. Honestly I don't know what format it would take. I really need to see how Japan goes to make an attempt at it. One way to do it could be like the ENC once did and run it over two seasons or look to add a 7th team like Fiji so each team has 6 games.

Well, according to guys who are more tuned in than I to all things MLR the only thing holding at the very least the Arrows back from announcing their intent is sanctioning on behalf of RC. Canada needs at least 2 and likely in time 4 teams involved in MLR alongside a number of Canada eligible...

Things definitely need to change and soon. The best thing RC can do in the short term is get out of the way and sanction MLR so at the very least the Arrows can enter the fray next season. The rot has to be stopped at some point. Watching the match over the weekend and it was really a case of...

Well, Gary Gold has set some steep benchmarks for the Eagles to achieve from all accounts. Many of which they are still a little way off according to those with hooks within the squad. They've definitely been improving but are still a work in progress. With MLR in place I think we'll see them...

The Canada/USA game went largely as expected. With the Eagles posting a strong 17 - 42 scoreline in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Added to that the largely the same Scotland outfit that the Eagles beat last weekend put more than 40 on a dismal Argentina in Argentina.

Am I the only one who thinks that kick wasn't a terribly difficult one to kick. Easy ten large. From the sideline would have been much more impressive.

I do. But I was being forced to socialise under the watchful eyes on no less than 4 women. If I had whipped my phone out at any time it would currently be sitting at the bottom of the harbour.

A game going up against the WC in a game featuring the Socceroos. Even the most casual of soccer fans tune in for these games. I would have using my laptop on split screen but I was on a boat all night.

Canada did make changes from last week against Russia with the USA game in mind but whether they were all that significant is questionable. Russia had a week to better acclimatise to NA which would have helped but still. The Eagles will field their strongest possible side against Canada. They...

And Russia beat Canada reasonably comfortably. Which doesn't bode well for the Canadians as they host the Eagles in Halifax next week. Considering the Eagles beat the Russians by 50 last week it could be a bloodbath.

Exactly. Bloody nuts in my opinion and I've made my feelings quite clear on that point. To no avail.

I'll be on a harbour cruise. Against my will. Devoid of a TV.

Well, it worked for DHP.

Belgium and the Netherland have announced the establishment of the BeNeCup. A four week cross-border competition featuring the top four clubs from each nation. Nothing further on this front yet but some of the Dutch and Belgian posters over on the T2 site are speculating that it could be the...

It was Twitter. Some of the accounts had more than 60% fake or bots as 'followers'. They've cracked down on the bots pretty hard recently.

I disagree somewhat. All the work done off the pitch in the 2016 season laid really promising foundations for the Rams. Growing community engagement etc. Unfortunately the sale to Eastwood essentially killed all that. Sadly it's a case of what could have been in the end.

No one is taking them as gospel until they see something official to confirm whether they are true or not. The regional viewership numbers being between 75-100,000 have been confirmed though. If they are then they would be roughly twice that of the combined viewership of MLS across three...
