for their decision to change based on their members and leadership voting to do so. Disagreement is fine. But let's have some respect for our fellow SGs and friends in the North End.
FT thoughts from an

#LAGalaxy
:
- Hartel is class. Adds so much to the midfield and can finish.
- Nerwinski was fantastic and the defensive line was way more cohesive today
- Durkin sitting in front of the CBs: a needed tactical adjustment and it worked (1/3)
I'll say one other thing about the boycott before I leave it alone for a bit. While I think I the SGs had a big impact, the attendance figures from
#AllForCITY
matches in the tournament goes beyond that effort. Far more than the North End has been empty..
Marcel Hartel has seven goal contributions in his first five MLS matches. Two goals and five assists is a great way for him to get started in the league.
#AllForCITY
Whether or not the boycott continues, the underlying message should remain. The USOC matters. And I'll say what I've said before one more time. Whether you're going to games or whether an SG is active at the games does NOT make them wrong. We're all
#AllForCITY

The major concern about Parker's comments is the fact that we've now had our former vice captain and current captain (Bürki) make public comments about contracts or negotiations. Hopefully this doesn't become a trend that make

Thank you for the transparency as the STL Santos group made a decision directly based off input from your members and leadership. While I will still personally boycott, I hope that you all bring the noise back to the North End! Somos Pasión! Vamos City!
#AllForCITY
Hey
#AllForCITY
peeps, with all the turnover in our roster, who do you think we protect in the Expansion Draft when it's time? Or too early to speculate?
I'd go with Bürki, Löwen, Hartel, Teuchert, Durkin, Klauss, Thórisson, Vassilev, Nilsson, Klein, Kijima, Pompeu, Totland.

For as frustrated as I may be after that one. My word, I am so ecstatic about where this team can go. Alot of grit and alot of fight in a team that hasn't shown much of either this season. Bright days ahead for
#AllForCITY
Is it really progress when you barely get a victory against the worst team in the league? I understand that it's a moment to highlight because we finally did it. But we were arguably outplayed by the wooden spoon winners.. so I don't know that I agree with Hack.
#AllForCITY
Interim Coach John Hackworth spoke postgame and said "Our 1st win on the road this year is definite progress. The fashion we did it... progress. It wasn't pretty... but I give our guys a lot of credit."

Hey
#AllForCITY
peeps, if/when City is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, does the club give Lundt an extended run? I see it as a chance for them to see if he's a long-term option post-Bürki. Thoughts?

Why can't MLS do this every weekend? Having at least a couple afternoon matches makes for a full day of fun and a higher likelihood I'll watch multiple teams every weekend. I dig it.
After sleeping on it, last night didn't frustrate me because of the result itself. It frustrated me because it felt like we stepped back into the Carnell era where

Noticeably empty seats and a substantially quieter stadium. The atmosphere is definitely altered at Citypark tonight with

#AllForCITY
With the draw
#AllForCITY
sits on 24 pts with 8 matches to play. Based on some rough projections, I'm estimating we need at least 19 points to have any chance at playoffs. Meaning City needs at worst a 6-1-1 run during this stretch. Any hope left at this point?

Two pretty thoughtful answers from

coach John Hackworth and defender Chris Durkin on participating in the Lamar Hunt Open Cup. CITY was not one of the MLS teams to play in the tourney this season. Many fans across the country have voiced displeasure at league for.. 1/2
Henry Kessler will wear No. 5 for City SC. In addition to being the lowest available number, it's the number he wore in college at Virginia. "I had good years with 5," he said.
Reading between the lines.. Parker probably wanted more than
#AllForCITY
were willing to pay.
So trade to recoup value now as opposed to getting nothing when he walks at end of season.
If you're an
#AllForCITY
trying to rationalize this trade, here's your answer:
"Sources say contract talks between St. Louis and Parker's camp were not going smoothly."
As this clip from an April 2023 interview on
@FlyoverFooty
w/
@ManuelVeth
shows, the interest from
@stlCITYsc
for Simon Becher goes back to before their 2023 season. This signing would be a culmination of sorts.
#AllForCITY
So
@MLS
cited fixture congestion but looking at the bracket teams could play: 8/9, 8/12, 8/16, 8/21 and 8/25. That's 5 games in 17 days. I guess I don't see how USOC participation is an issue if a league organized tournament is this congested.
#AllForCITY
Have to wonder...with Totland having a few games off; are we looking to potentially develop Kijima into a hybrid wing back who can rotate with Tots? Maybe I'm reading too much into a single start at RB but I could see it.
#AllForCITY
#RiseForCITY
For the record I'm a Klauss fan. But for sake of conversation. With him remaining a DP, does anyone think there's potential to reach a point where his signing is compared to Xherdan Shaqiri on the basis of having DP designation?

- Indy quietly impressed today. Won't show on the statline but really liked what he gave us.
- Klauss, for as divided as fans are over him, is a difference maker and was big in helping close that out.

If you attend the

It's not just the SGs across the league that
@MLS
needs to worry about with this tournament. Even with extra marketing and other efforts, they can't put butts in seats. It'll be interesting to see how the league adjusts next year.
Mauricio Pochettino on St. Louis,
“I am aware of the big soccer history of St. Louis and its impact on the National Team, so the new members of the staff are looking forward to visiting the city for ourselves and experiencing the atmosphere at the stadium.”
Had a chance to listen to this last night. Genuinely a must listen. Edu's personality comes out and you learn about the man and the player in this phenomenal interview. Relaxed yet insightful. Laid back, informative and entertaining.

Hmm.. I think some additional wordsmithing was needed. The "unconditional" part seems like a subtle shot at those who are not attending. Seems sort of contradictory considering all the posts

- The ability we have to pass through pressing with our new signings is immense.
- Link up play between Löwen/Hartel/Teuchert is fun to watch.
