Would I get Yankees levels of hate if I switched my alliegence to NYCFC now that I'm playing as them on FM and Pentagon veterans Chivas USA have bitten the dust?

[HailtotheYo]

No, if Henry is done after this year I'm going to follow them on simple LOLFCKCosmos logic.

[Gazz]

Turncoat.

[HailtotheYo]

Fan of Henry, not NYRB. He's my favorite active player.

Your reason is better.

[Beeker00Zero]

I think once your team has gone defunct you're permitted to pick a new club.

Being a supporter of Vancouver Whitecaps, if they bit the dust, the only teams I couldn't select would be Seattle Sounders or Portland Timbers.

[DMN in the House]

If the Galaxy folded, I'd probably support Seattle or Portland.

MLS to expand playoff field to 12 in 2015, will add extra knockout games

[GoGo Yubari]

12 playoff teams is stupid. That's 60% of the league next year.

Is it March yet?

Indeed, BUT if they leave it alone it'll be 50% when they hit the 24 team stated goal, and of course ... less when they go beyond that. HOPEFULLY this is a final correction and will be the standard going forward so that when more teams do come in the league there isn't more tinkering to be done.

And ... FUCKYOULA

[TCO]

Any word on what sort of money he'll be on? I find it so bizarre that Bradley Wright-Phillips of all people turned out to be a massive success over there!
