Carolyn Kindle Betz. She is one of the owners along with a few other female members of her family, all females. They own the team along with Jim Kavanaugh.

Terrible club name, IMO. But at least they didn’t go with Dynamo St Louis or some other nonsense European naming convention. Crest is pretty cool looking

Tyler Adams will see your "Christian Pulisic FA Cup Final goal" and raise you a "Champions League Quarterfinals winner".

It’s a little bit complex. MLS as a league has been pushing for these types of names of many of the recent entries.

There has long been an artificial, self serving battle/divide between St. Louis City, and St. Louis County. Baltimore is the only other major metro where the city and county are separate. CITY in caps sends a pretty clear message that everywhere in the region is St. Louis City, from the city itself, to its inner/outer burbs, exurbs, rural towns and in between. But it starts inside out.

Sterling K Brown the actor is from St. Louis, (he’s a rah rah Stl guy) and this was his take on it:

It is also an ode to the rich historical history of St. Louis as the nation’s first and historic soccer capital with many players from the city.

I’m okay with it. My personal preference was Mound City Stars. Mound City (Native American founders many years ago prior to 1764 city founding) as well as the Negro League St. Louis Stars of Cool Papa Bell 3 Championship fame, as well as the former NASL soccer team which was St. Louis Stars.

The St. Louis flag is very popular in St. Louis, and the logo and colors are a take on that. They didn’t want the same but similar. The logo includes the river confluence of Missouri and Mississippi (as well as Meramec and Illinois) intertwined with the Arch. Soccer Club vs Football Club.

I would personally flip the navy with the red and make the words and outline baby blue. That would pop.

Official colors are:

City Red, River Blue, Arch Steel Gray, Energy Yellow.

New stadium and team headquarters will be in Downtown West, down the street from the Scottrade Center across from Union Station. practice fields will be next door to the Union Station Train Shed. Chicago, Cincinnati, Nashville, KC etc...all less than a 5 hour drive for league games.

This is the United Soccer League St. Louis FC logo and colors attached as well.

What does this mean? I know multiple major cities that are separate from their counties.

He lost 7-2 against bayern, fwiw.

Poch won't go to barca, due to his loyalty to espanyol.

Under the scoop law of transitive property, Spurs>Barca.

Hadnt heard that. But barca is a chitshow right now. Messi prob has 1 year left, board issues, financial issues.

Poch to City? $1b for 4 straight QF exits? Yikes.

Lukaku has scored in like 15 straight European Cup matches. Fitting that he scored the game winner...for Sevilla

Bad look for MLS. Shouldn't have taken this long to come out.

Widely Reported ...Messi announced he's staying at Barcelona this season to avoid legal dispute. But he made it clear he ia unhappy and wants to leave and he is reluctantly doing it.

Also as posted in tv thread, NBC is pushing a few/some higher profile Premier League games on Peacock. $.

Messi mailed it in the entire second half of the Bayern match and multiple times during the season made no effort to track back on defense. I would be entirely unsurprised to see a lot of that this season and fully expect Barca to finish comfortably behind Real and Atl Madrid

Mewis and Lavelle were confimred a while ago, but now with Heath and Press the Derby will likely be the most watched female match since the 2019 WC Final. That'll only help the popularity in this country.

It didn't go the way they wanted, but, a nice achievement as Tim Ream made his 200th appearance for Fulham today.

Did anyone see how quickly that incorrect red card replay was resolved during the CP v Southampton mate?

I dream about that sort of efficiency in the NFL.
