MLS/Liga MX Season Thread Now Featuring Inter Messi - Page 9 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

So Minny loses Darwin and somehow becomes an offensive juggernaut? Not easy winning by multiple goals at Portland and SJ.

I'm very interested to see how Chicharito does tonight. It's Carson's home opener and Jona Dos Santos and Corona are back in the lineup so he should be getting plenty of service (which he kinda needs as he's more of a poacher). I'll be disappointed with less than a brace against the Shitecraps.

Welcome! The league's got its issues, but is pretty fun to follow overall and plenty of interesting storylines.

Chicharito's a ghost out there. Only player on the pitch w/single digit touches.

Pulido is really good. Zelarayan is good. Pizarro is good. Joao Paolo is good. Amarilla is good.

League is leaps and bounds better this year, very exciting.

Don't worry, MLS has another African capable of goals like that. He plays for the Impact.

Pretty crazy how similar the goals are.

Imagine thinking that Chumparito was going to outperform Zlatan

It's kinda sad how their team has been so used to just pinging high crosses into Zlatan that they have no idea how to function with Chicharito.

They've probably got too much talent not to figure something out eventually and win a few games, but they're looking pretty dire right now. I'm sure Sam is pretty broken up about it!

Darwin was the epitome of hot/cold. I’m still a little worried about how they’re going to score with him gone but Amarilla looks like what they were hoping Angelo Rodriguez would be - a legit 9. If they add in a real 10 and move Molino back to the wing I’ll be super happy. As long as the old guys (Alonso 34, Opara 31, Boxall 31) can hold up on defense this team is going to be a real threat.

only 2 games but he has been excellent. looking like a fantastic signing.

of course this time last year i thought SKC had their best team ever so i'm pumping the brakes on optimism. did get them at +3300 to ship just for fun a couple weeks ago tho

Really ****ing hope my 36-hr trip to CDMX doesn’t get me quarantined. Need to experience the adrenaline that comes with attempting to avoid the urine thrown at me as a visiting fan in Azteca!

the lol galaxy had 23 fouls yesterday, geez. maybe practice passing instead of thugging?

san jose was total garbage in march last year also. I guess they need a month to get into mid-season form under almeyda.

and we have Sunday Night Soccer 2nite! Yay!

Nice to see espn+ has an MLS review show. Gonna try to watch this weekly to keep up.

Carlos Vela is way to good for this league

How can the other LA team be bad with former Liverpool LB Emiliano Insua and the corpse of Chicharito?
