[Brianna Mac Kay] Crew mid-season addition Aziel Jackson put it simply: “I’m just a very creative person, and soccer is just a way for me to express that”. I sat down with Jackson and discussed how he blends soccer and art into his lifestyle, through his creativity.







Ticket giveaway contest for Man City match Ticket giveaway contest for Man City match

Hi all, my company is helping Man City run a ticket giveaway (2 sets of tickets for the Saturday match) + merch prizes. The contest is an AR treasure hunt across popular spots in Columbus (think soccer-themed Pokemon Go).

I saw some discussion about the match (and tickets) on this sub, so I connected with the mods and wanted to make sure to highlight what I think (not that I'm biased) is a fun opp to win tickets.

If interested, join here: https://getsmt.link/3adpwtl9. We've already run this for Man City's stops in NYC and Orlando...check out their social feeds for more info. Good luck!






My Line Up (Post Transfer Window) My Line Up (Post Transfer Window)
https://preview.redd.it/my-line-up-post-transfer-window-v0-s2756j1i23gd1.png

Nancy is clearly better coach than me (has forgotten more about football than I will ever know), but that's not gonna stop me from trying.

Quality wise, Jones and Herrera will push for starting roles (will see how fast it takes them to adapt to Nancy Ball)

Nagbe and Zawa are still the duo for CM, but i do see Jones, Matan, and Chambost filling those spots if subs rolls or if we need little more offense in a game (Matan/Chambost)

Front 3 no change (if it ain't broke don't try and fix it), would love to see playing time for Jackson, Chambost, and JRR though.

Back 3 Amundsen, Camacho, Moreira been solid most of the year. (May get burnt a few times keeping a high line and teams playing very direct with us, but that's the risks we take)

Off Season Buys and Sells (I actually enjoy all these players just 100% business, no emotion in it)

Sell - Arfsten, Farsi, JRR... I know hot take but while they are playing the best ball of their career we cash out while they are at their highest value. (I might be 1 year early on selling these 3 but i think we cash out on them soon)
Schulte is also being sold to Europe (I think Hagen has shown some flashes I think he needs more playing time, like we gave to Patrick beginning of last year)
I am also gonna put Cucho is the Sell category with the stipulation no less than $25 million transfer fee.

Buy - Camacho and Nagbe Replacement... with their age we need to look into replacing them, we need a ball controlling CB and Nagbe is a top 10 mls player of all time, replacing him is no easy task.
If we sell Cucho, I say we spend 10m to 15m to find a replacement for him.

Development - Bonus section... Nancy is a great Developer of Players, lets spend some more money in Crew 2 and our Academy and continue to build a pipeline for the first team.
