hmm yeah i guess that's why you don't typically see the last man trying to dribble ppl

well the back-passing that preceded implied that he wasn't to just boot it. just make a hopeful play in the attacking end.

wat
i mean, when that kind of thing happens it's not a set play, they're being driven back by the defense
and 99.9% of the time they pass it back to the keeper or boot it, yeah


actually looked like he wanted to pass it to the lb but ****ed up
both flanks looked open lol

contemptibly lacking courage in attack, as much as anything the defense did. and it's too often the case, for lack of technique and confidence.

they think puttering it back around in a predictable fashion, and 'resetting the canvas' is more likely to yield a chance. I'm not a believer.

props to the kid actually, for trying something when all his mates were in reverse

Sporting Goat

Salloi has developed into a nice play. Long and quick

damn, LAFC gettin' massacred! RIP minnesotasams

skc new kings of the west

shouldn't have dumped my mainest man ma kaye maybe

Utterly shocked that B-Rod was complete ****.

This is incredible, 46% pass % (only guy who hit the pitch under 60%), missed every pass forward except 1, no shot attempts registered.

fyp

in other news, which mls team can afford messi?

thought he was going to Miami, right? he bought another property in Florida recently

Sporting at Colorado later lol. Sporting is must-see TV. Rapids are much improved, 4th in the west

no Vines or Busio!

The Crew have conceded 11 goals in a week, apparently, and are at risk of losing 3 straight for the 1st time in a while lol they won the cup last year

Just got in from 8 hour road trip. Put on MLS for first time live all year. Within 2 minutes a dude on Cincinnati managed to cock up a breakaway in amazing fashion even by lol MLS standards

Relaxing and dozing off

Damn Sporting under serious pressure to end the half lol

Florian Thauvin with his debut for Tigres...and gets sent off 30 minutes in for a nasty challenge lol

he was horrible at the olympics. he couldn’t have had a worse debut tonight. and to top it off, he’s going to be taking the minutes that should be going to Leo Fernandez (a much better player) all season long. LOL TIGRES

Nah, you can't blame that on Thauvin. Leo didn't even play in weeks 1 or 2 when Thauvin was unavailable.

Leo wasn't playing last year either b/c of Tuca's dumb old ass. I wish he would have stayed with Toluca.

Aaronson is back with the Union. he just scored. natty teamer

he might be better than his bro

heck of a goal, hope he gets more playing time

Sporting host Leon tonight

Schedule is so confusing. Over the next 3 nights we've got a mash-up of CCL and Leagues Cup matches. It's just gonna make everyone not really care much about any of it and further slow CCL from ever gaining any real traction.

Of course the only real solution is MLS and Liga MX to Copa Libertadores.

That's relatively standard if you think about Europe and CL and Europa in same week usually I think, although they might be on different days

Good marketing would use the League Cup games as the lead in, and on Thursday you have the double header

Philly has to be competitive though, and I hope they are, but they have struggled lately

It's a decent point, but UCL and EL are well established competitions with a long tradition and I'm sure most fans know UCL is the premier competition with EL being the secondary competition.

I guess my main beef is with Leagues Cup. There's no rhyme nor reason to it. They just made up a competition so they could get MLS and LMX together in some quasi-important matches. Most fans aren't even gonna realize there are 2 concurrent competitions going on, how teams qualified to each, etc. At least with CCL, I think you have something you can build on, as "our" Champions League and MLS is now starting to be much more competitive, but I think Leagues Cup just kinda waters it down and now people won't realize the CCL Semis are the main thing to be focusing on.
