New York Cosmos Beat LA Galaxy, In FIFA 12
In their latest incarnation, The New York Cosmos may have only played one game so far — in their defeat against Manchester United in the Paul Scholes testimonial — but thanks to the just released FIFA 12, the Cosmos have come back to life again. And this time they have won a game, against L.A. Galaxy.

this is utterly ridiculous. a rating of 78/82/80? with a line up
that must surely average 35 years of age? are f.cosmos fanbois
anything other than ragingly delusional?
I don’t know why mls fans just don’t use their common sense. So
self conscious. First off the cosmos team is comprised of top
players ,albeit passed their prime, but still great players that
could beat the mls all stars. I assume FIFA gave each player the
rating so there could be no bias. BTW FIFA upped mls teams ratings
from 2 stars to 3 stars so you can’t complain. Idk why mls fan boys
have to be so self conscious that a non mls team that beats Carson
galaxy in a video game, they have to automatically resort to
prejudice and curse cosmos to not join mls. Mls has a lot of things
to do before they can call themselves a league but letting cosmos
join is one of them. And if this has to do with the stupid
assumption that cosmos will destroy mls then stop. Mls uber strict
and socialist single entity structure won’t allow cosmos or any
club really to be at their full potential. So just accept cosmos
and Shut up
“Mls has a lot of things to do before they can call themselves a
league but letting cosmos join is one of them.” MLS is already a
league. Has been since 16 years. The Cosmos though aren’t a team
and haven’t been in over 30 years. And probably never will be
again. “Mls uber strict and socialist single entity structure won’t
allow cosmos or any club really to be at their full potential.” No,
it was designed so the league doesn’t fold like the one the Cosmos
use to play in 100 years ago. What was it called again? “So just
accept cosmos and Shut up” Accept what? The Cosmos don’t exist.
Scott, Closed leagues fail but open leagues with independent clubs
never fail. This is what Alex and I advocate. Please list one
League with an open pyramid that has failed along with all of its
clubs.
Are you trying to deny that the NASL failed? You’l probably say
NASL was closed and thats why it failed, but that wasn’t the
reason. You don’t understand is that to even think about having an
open league you need more clubs capable of spending first division
money then there are spots in the first division. MLS hasn’t hit 20
teams yet and NASL/USL/whatever it’ll be next year is very unstable
and does not have enough money. Besides the concept of an open
league developed before the modern sports era and it is outdated.
South Africa is littered with open leagues that failed.
dont be crying when MLS buys all the players from europe in the
future,especially since europe is going bankrupt. the cosmos is the
reason why americans play soccer. and modern day soccer is. before
real madrid and man. city, and man u . and all the rest who spend
money for big players, the COSMOS were doing that 35 years ago. no
wonder the COSMOS were 20 years ahead of their time. oh yeah,
europeans dont know jack about american soccer,so piss off ,and
stop worrying about our league. why? are you scared??
EA sports… 1 step forward, 2 steps back. Cosmos are great at
marketing but they have no money. Still a pipe dream.
That’s the most idiotic thing I’ve read. Didn’t you hear cosmos got
bought out by a Arab group? Even before that garber said if cosmos
didn’t have the money for both the ridiculous fee (funny most mls
players don’t make more that 100,000 yet garber ask for 100
million) mls would never be in discussion with them. Cosmos has
more recognition that all of mls combined. They’re going to
accomplish something njrb never could or will and they promise a
30k stadium. I don’t understand why people aren’t stoked. It’s
something to add to this league.
This is why most MLS fans laugh at the Cosmos. Get a team first and
then talk smack. Otherwise shut up and stop wasting everyone’s
time!
How I pray for the Cosmos to join NASL and NASL becomes a real
league with USL and institutes promotion/relegation. MLS will be
gone in 5 years if that happened.
Why? Would USL suddenly have more money than MLS, and more
importantly how would USL institute promotion/relegation? USSF is
going through a lot of problem to make the second division stable
why would they throw that away?
You do realize USSF controls the league system and USSF works hand
in hand with MLS
Beckham’s hair is STILL NOT correct!!?!? I know its stupid small
detail but F* EA! He is still the most recognizable player in the
world, get it freaking right!
Could this be a create-a-team?
