Maxi Moralez absolutely blazed his place on the #NYCFC future Ring of Honor at Etihad Park with that epic goal and win last night over #DOOP.
Who else are MUST-ADDS for the Ring of Honor in 2027?
Mine:
Maxi, Sean Johnson, Taty as the first inductees.

If it's for NWSL, I'd think it has to be announced soon. I'd bet Gotham FC wouldn't like that much.
I can't see an MLS team going in for a USL-S team, not unless MLS is merging/buying USL down the road, and makes USL-S it's MLS-branded women's D1 league.

Does it? It's a banner on the stadium wall, I guess.
But if the 5 division winners are the automatic Top 5 seeds in the opening round ONLY, and it's reseeded for the quarterfinals, I'm OK with that.

Philly were 7W-7L-5D with a -2 goal differential against playoff teams in regular-season play this year.
They were 13-1-1x +24 against non-playoff teams.
They won over and over again against bad teams. Against good ones they were mid.

just a hideous sample size. Philly didn't take their chances. It happens in soccer. It doesn't prove anything about the relative level of those 2 teams. Philly won over and over again this year with their "bunch of good but not elite players" roster.

Wait until the new 5 division structure of MLS 3.0 β where one very bad division could assure a division winner 5 extra wins, +15 pts, and the Shield and hosting throughout MLS Cup.
