So the goalkeeping standard in this league is just really really really low right? I feel like every game I watch there is an absolute howler

Sure. Great website, excellent stadiums, good fantasy league, Timbers GOAT, Valeri GOAT etc...

Actually watching all the games this year and calling it as I see it. The weird thing no one really has a rebuttal and just says omg you're negative! There's no real counter argument.

The Impact do have a solid keeper waiting in the wings and he's a Québec kid. Wondering when they'll finally give Crépeau some matches. He has a start with the Canadian MNT.

there does seem to be a lot of bad goalies in the league, but that's probably just because there are a lot of mediocre players in the league generally, so some of them are going to be goalies
(and most teams tend to cheap out at that position, which is probably smart tbh)

I want to see a team splurge 8 million on a super-elite goalkeeper. I wonder if the fans would give a damn.

for whatever reason, we get RSL games broadcast in LV.

so...RSL-VAN in the start of a snowstorm. the play is as terrible as the weather...if this doesn't end 0-0 will be a shocker

MLS goaltending>Liga MX FWIW. Puebla goalie in LIGA MX just gave up the WOAT goal to lose the game in stoppage time.

Sucks that Josef Martinez will end up missing a sizable chunk of the season. Looked like he was gonna put up some ridiculous #s and challenge some records.

was at the TFC match tonight. ATL earned the draw, they're really good imo.

Both keepers struggled badly with distribution .... pressing the keeper is a pretty basic MLS strat that always works

I get that Tata wants to play out of the back but goddamn they were playing with fire in the first 10-15 minutes or so.

Some of that will be better once Guzan is in place, but there could've been a few goals that put this game away before Villalba's opener if a few things go differently.

Regardless, got the point. And two draws back to back on the road against the two MLS Cup finalists is good with me. Cannot ****ing wait for 5/14.

Oh, also, **** that weak ass red card for denying us the introduction of our lord and savior Andrew Carleton. I was super excited to see him in the 18 for the first time.

Maybe next week against Montreal now since Asad will likely be suspended for another game (doubt they rescind the red).
