Re: World Soccer XXVIII: Campeones de NorteAmérica.
Gulati's VP Cordiero becomes new President of US Soccer with 68% of the votes.

1. The Twitter bots and Reddit bots are going full meltdown about an “establishment candidate” winning. According to them US Soccer is fully doomed and nothing will change. Also something about MLS/SUM cartel conspiracy.
2. In contrast to above, US Soccer announced they have begun the process to hire General Managers for both the Men’s and Women’s systems to run the soccer side of things.
3. There’s a bit of kerfluffle involving the Athletes Council voting and attendance. A few reporters mentioned on Twitter that Heather O’Reilly flew from London to attend and vote despite having a game tomorrow while Brad Guzan and Jonathan Spector didn’t attend “while only being in MLS Preseason” and a few “isn’t that odd *wink*” comments. Clapping back, Stu Holden said the “Athletes Council decided to vote as a bloc and had a meeting prior to the voting with all involved.”
But let's be real...There are 40 some other teams and only two alaskan teams...the day one of us wins something big will be the day I transfer to UAA

Oh, forgot this:
5. The Players, via the Athletes Council voting as a bloc, decided this election not, as the anti-MLS folks around Twitter think, the “soccer establishment.” They have, by law, 20% of the vote and, given the wide open election, were able to effectively leverage that. It’ll be interesting to see their thought process and discussions about who to support and why.

"Rovers" often doesn't even use their city name. Which is inconvenient because there seem to be as many as Huskies or Bulldogs.
I think almost every squad has a nickname (e.g., "Cottagers" for Fulham). Remember that baseball teams didn't create their own nicknames -- they were bestowed by beat writers as shorthand. I dunno but I suspect association squads were named the same way in the mists of time.
Liverpool Red Sox??
a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.

Given that he reportedly decided to run before Sunil had stepped down (which may have prompted Sunil to recruit Carter to run), he's about as un-establishment as an establishment candidate gets.

People are saying "he was Sunil's VP!" not realizing that the VP is a board position that is separately elected (in fact they have to have an election next year to replace him). As angry as people on the outside are, those who are actually running things seemed to have some common sense.

We have a lot more money than Morocco. We should win this round of bribery easily.
But we have less construction graft and skimming to offer.
Frankly, it's like the Olympics. You only give it to us when the rest of the world starts getting fatigue from the expense and close to realizing the waste. We provide them with the selling point that it can make money that they use to scam everyone else into believing and bidding.
