lol now they're talking about buying back some of the academy kids that they sold to pacific fc, bc they're literally incapable of developing anyone

(alphonso davies doesn't count as they had ~zero to do with that)


someone really needs to buy this team, it's just a mess top to bottom

ugh, what happened to kaye?

sporting's 2nd goal tonight! goalaso

Appears to be a bad ankle sprain, but fortunately x-rays came back negative. It was his (non-dominant) right ankle, as opposed to the left which he broke against the Galaxy in ‘18. He’s gonna be out for awhile though for sure.

Evan Bush MVP IMO.

He's guided the Craps back to a tie for the final playoff spot. And they've got Carson next who are playing like garbage, so it could be 3 in a row. It's probably been 10 years since the Craps have won 3 in a row, but that's the magic of Evan Bush.

jonathan klinsmann is the new evan bush

bojan confirmed big time BACK!

IMPACT baby! (?)

so this canadian premier league team from hamilton got a concacaf champions league spot i guess, currently playing @ this el salvadoran team with one of the goat badges:




currently 0-1 hamilton

HAMilton

go whitecaps!

you can only hope to contain them

that ali adnan fk goal was nice, hopefully they can sell him to some saudi club for a bunch of money

Evan Bush has to be the most valuable player in the league.

9 points in 5 with him. That's 1.8 ppg and would be #1 in the Western Conf.

Craps were last when Bush was handed the reins. One man has made the worst team in the conference the best.

LOL Ballou

And not subbed out due to injury.

Seems like this is probably it for him in MLS.

I forgot what it’s like to have Vela on your team. feelsgoodman.

is ballou even any good? has never really seemed like it tbh
and i mean you get an opportunity to work with terry hank and this is what happens?

also saw some report that they're already looking to dump wanyama


meanwhile tfc's academy seems to be doing what i've wanted from vwfc forever

they just kind of gave up or something and outsourced it to the cpl team in victoria

He's never really produced much, it's always been about insane potential.

At 17, he came on vs. Roma and looked like the best player out there. Then Barcelona saw enough in him to give him a shot, but allegedly he could never even see the field w/Barça B.

I think the worst thing that ever happened to him was Drogba getting in his ear telling him how amazing he'd be. He even turned down a Canada call-up b/c he was waiting on Ivory Coast.

He's still only 21 I guess, but seems like another talented player turned bust.

Wanyama seems disinterested most of the time, but on rare glimpses you can see how great he could be. When he uses his frame it seems impossible to win the ball off him and he should dominate, but doesn't really try or maybe his knees are shot.

Ballou vs. Roma:

Dellacamera and Smyth. love those guys. Union are my Eastern Conference team now and forever!

for anyone who still may care...

the crapids played 5 less games than everyone else and still got in somehow and as a 5 seed to boot.

seemed like san jose was terrible all season...but I guess not terrible enough to miss the playoffs

There are a couple semi-interesting storylines.

I'm interested to see if Miami can make a little run with Higuain and how LAFC will do now that Vela's back just in time.

SJ is a ridiculous story. How can a team go from going winless in 8 games in a row (and allowing 5+ goals in 4 of those) to ending the season with 6 wins in their last 9. They're about as hot as anyone right now.

They changed the standings from points to points per game so teams like the Crapids wouldn't get screwed.

Somehow I got SKC at 81-1 to win MLS Cup at the start of the season, which seems like ridiculous value now.

ah yes, I forgot about that.

whitecaps with 0 draws this season, sick

go big or go home


will prob watch more in the playoffs

must be single-elimination huh?

yup one & done playoffs

I like it

jeez. got to wait till the 20th

jordan morris confirmed big time BACK

never thought he was all that good to begin with, and then he suffered a bunch of serious injuries, so i just assumed that his ceiling was "new wondo", but maybe he's got a future in europe after all if the $tat$ are saying that he was ~mvp caliber this season


anyone have takes on any of these guys?
like i said before, i watched less mls this year than i normally do, and mostly just vwfc games
