MLS Season Thread 2017 - Page 23 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

^ I think most teams in Mexico like a back 3, so hopefully if we are in it we are able to fade the steamroller in the away matches.

Playoffs are going to be hell .... doesn't matter how good we look now, teams like NYCFC, Chicago, Orlando are going to be a *****.

I really like how Chicago looks right now, Dax-Schweinsteiger is elite.

Fire-FCD should have been on national TV instead of this one.

This year, the Supporters Shield does not qualify for CCL, only MLS Cup, Open Cup and (Canadian Cup?) qualify. Due to a CCL format change, there would be a backlog of US teams, so only two US teams for next two years. Toronto couldn't qualify via the SS anyway because they're Canadian.

Ah.. so Sporting have conceded but one shot, and to a rookie, and that one shot was converted. We've possessed the ball, managed 13 something limp-ankled 'shots,' never testing Tim Howard

Please lose

MLS is clownshoes in many ways. Toronto dropped their 1st leg Canadian Champ. semifinal match at Ottawa 2-1, but will obviously crush them next match unless they don't take it seriously again. They should also be favored heavily in the finals vs. whoever advances between Montréal and Vancouver. Again, assuming they play a full strength lineup. Who knows, maybe they go all in for the SS and maybe try to smash the record for points while they're at it. No idea, what it is, but don't think anyone's average more than 2 points per match since the league expanded beyond 12 teams, and TFC's currently on 2.07.

We decide who the best team is the American way. In playoffs.

SJ 1-0 LA 14' on Univision with Wondo bagging it. English commentary is available if you can figure out your audio settings.

more like 2 minutes, but it seemed like the assistant made the call, which is why it took so long

and they don't call those often/always, but they probably should
Hamid missed the ball and just gave him a double-forearm shiver to the FACE

you see how they got their pk btw?

ESPN bumping a good MLS game for women's softball is absolute clown shoes.

Just like this NYCFC performance is clown shoes. Love the no call on the 3rd goal. Defenders are too often bailed out for falling down
