MLS/Liga MX Season Thread Now Featuring Inter Messi - Page 103 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

building off of last season apparently, an estimated 30k back today vs charlotte, a record home opener crowd they're saying. kind of impressive considering that they didn't really do anything in the offseason

i just realized that this is probably due to messi, because they've never been able to build off of positive momentum before. like again, the team didn't do anything of note in the offseason. i bet a lot of rich dbags bought season tickets just so they might be able to see lil leo once lol

lol orlando gjge. luis suarez finally providing some bite offensively

Spoiler:

good thing I don't bet on MLS. 3 goals out of nowhere today in the final seconds to turn a win into a draw for an underdog. Which would be bad if u had played the underdog on the M/L!

also my MLS fantasy team that LFC_USA sucked me into signing up for is currently ranked 11820 out of 11773 total teams (there are no typos). Is that bad?

Suarez was 2 posts away from 2g 4a (Alba and Gressel hit the bar after nice passes by Suarez).

Miami seems to actually have a defense this year and Callender is one of the best keepers in the league. I guess the playoffs might be good this year, otherwise Miami would probably be the runaway champs.

Galaxy look the best team in the league after 2 games. Best front 4 in MLS by a mile and Paintsil looks a hell of a signing

Maybe, but the lolGalaxy is strong. They haven't won any hardware in 10 years.

Puig was a sick addition. Probably the best midfielder in the league, and by a wide margin.

Puig is nice. And love MLS is getting these types of players. I still have Almada and the best MF in the league by a wide margin. Might even go Carles Gil over Puig too which is more a testament to where MLS is at right now

That Nashville Miami CCL (why tf did they change to the dumb sounding CCC?!?) game last night was awesome. I've long had a man crush on Jacob Shaffelberg and holy **** did he deliver last night. Game was awesome throughout and super harsh on Nashville dominating 80% of the game and only drawing while conceding 2 away goals

I have no idea if the nashville guy was offside on the disallowed 3rd goal late or not. the brief TV view of the offside that was shown didn't look offside to me. that was a great goal the guy scored - pretty unlucky to get it waived off.

toronto won their home opener today, now 2 wins and a draw on the season, tied with messi fc on 7 points. loltfc and the herd man confirmed big time back!?

i forgot they still have insigne and bernardeschi. maybe they actually want the former, but feel like they're stuck with the latter because of his salary

funny they could have just kept shaffelberg, but he's one of those guys they gave away for nothing, for no reason. they only seem to keep the worthless ones lol

Sporting fittin to get 3 points at LAFC.

Sporting have yet to trail this season, a very alien feeling for the squad.

Smart of Miami to save Messi b/c they know there's no beating Montreal.

7 pts from 3 road games is a nice start. Last year's Shield winners only averaged 1.65 ppg on the road last year.

Montreal has a nice little roster, but like most years where this happens, they're probably only a player or 2 from being serious contenders, but that player will never arrive. Wanyama doesn't even play much anymore, and he's the team's only DP. Imagine if you added 2 DPs to this squad.

curious the last time vwfc won b2b road games by more than 1 goal, if it's ever happened
(in b4 i look it up and it happened like last year)

anyway, point is they're big time back and vanni will obv be out of a job by the time his suspension is over

match of the day gotta be chicago/montreal:

Mostly they just got robbed by the replacement officials.

Chicago's 1st goal was offside. They scored off a corner, that was actually a goal kick ruled incorrectly. And this was somehow a PK + red (Chicago scored 3 goals in 20 minutes after this red). I thought the regular officials were bad, but holy ****, I'm not even sure the replacements have watched soccer before.

that last fire goal was just so lol.

I keep wondering if TODAY is gonna be the day Orlando starts playing as well as I expected them to play before the season started or just continue to be horrendous.
