they had already blown the game by missing five easy breakaways. barco sucks in front of goal and almiron can leave whenever if anyone wants a guy who uses only one foot to put the ball either right at the keeper or in the stands

When Zlatan is up for it he's so much better than everyone on the field and he knows how much his teammates suck

lfc, what did you think of that red card? Poor guy getting bullied, and pushed repeatedly. He finally does something ever so slight with his left hand. Then after the red, he couldn't have been more restrained

well, they won at least (and covered a -1 goal line)

no home team lost 2nite (7-0-2), pretty sure that is a first for this season

To be fair to dk, Almirón is leading the league by a hefty margin with 72 shots, next is Gio at 61. Although it's still insanity to wish him gone or complain about a loaded attack that is leading the league in GF and pts.

almiron has an absurd 72 shots and just two goals that werent PKs.

they ran up the score vs some garbage teams early but have looked very bad for a month. him and barco especially. of course every game the past month has also been a grab bag of red cards, PKs, and var insanity so its tough to get a good read on how normal games would play out.

True but 7 pts in 5 tough matches is pretty damn good when you've looked very out of form. Especially since it's pretty much an auto win when they play a dud.

nashville gets a bye, lucky them

hope LAG win like 40-0 (can't believe I'm saying that). our local guys would be in this round except for the golden state force diving their way to an undeserved win in the 3rd round game

Red Bull steamrolled NYCFC again. The keepers got to take a PK for Chicago and Columbus in an epic 10-9 shootout. oh, and LOL QUAKES again.

5th round draw Thursday.

Guaranteed a "cinderella" story in the quarters!

Although Nashville would have beaten USL teams in b2b matches, so not that impressive.

Alphonso Davies like a kid out there proving once again that he's too damn good for this league at 17

1st half report:
like a billion dribbles past defenders
drawn like 6 free kicks
2-3 yellow cards drawn
1 assist

some stats on twitter guy i forget had some thing earlier this season showing that he's been far & away the best dribbler in MLS since he started a couple years ago

Vancouver def gonna sell him after this season, so enjoy it while you can
rumours that Besiktas are interested on the advice of fellow canucks Atiba Hutchinson & Cyle Larin, but i'd kinda really prefer he stick to a normal euro country

starting RB got booked fouling Davies like 10 minutes into the game
got subbed off later due to injury
replacement RB got booked fouling Davies like 5 minutes into the 2nd half
ref was gonna book him again like 5 minutes later for fouling Davies, before realizing who it was, and that he didn't want to send anyone off just yet

5-10 minutes later the other fullback gets sent off for a 2nd yellow

lol
