The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
  • We're expecting server maintenance on March 3rd starting at midnight, there may be downtime during the work.
Why is the kickoff match of the 30th anniversary season LAFC vs Minnesota? Why wouldn't you make it San Jose vs DC (first ever match) or even a rematch of MLS Cup (NYRB vs LAG)? Why is it a random match between relatively new teams?

TFC look meh, DC United look even worse lol...

Sounds like Insigne may be out the door in the coming weeks, I will believe it when I see it.
 
not sure why LAG started micovic over mccarthy.. he basically handed SD the match with an awful pass to the defender

don't have high hopes for the galaxy this season between the injuries to key players and the roster turnaround. these guys have no chemistry
 
I’m surprised San Diego didn’t bring Brandon Vazquez back to the league.

You’re probably right about this season, but last season was pretty incredible considering the season prior.

Puig out until at least late summer, Paintsil out for several weeks and Ramirez is a downgrade from Joveljic. Pec will be fine, but creating offense outside of him will be tough sledding for a while once the team gels with Ramirez.

I don't mind starting Micovic and he looks more confident playing the ball with his feet than McCarthy. Problem is when you're confident with your feet is that you're more likely to try riskier passes which that pass to Garces was. Keepers who know they aren't good with their feet never have problems just getting rid of it when the situation demands it. I suspect Vanney was hoping that Micovic could finally cement himself as the starter, but this outing shows he's still not there yet.

the offense today was basically pec vs the SD defense. ramirez played like he was running through mud and reus just isn't it, at least not as a starter

best case scenario is that they build chemistry and tread water until puig comes back to make a run at the playoffs, but who knows if he'll even be at 100%
 
Whitecaps wearing this gorgeous Black History jersey in the Concacaf game tonight. They are the first MLS team to wear a dedicated black history jersey in game.

A successful opener for the defending Eastern Conference Champions! Only negative was the idiotic decision not to play during the day (Thanks Apple!!!) which should be league policy for any non warm climate market through March. Game was played in freezing cold and I'm likely going to be sick for days.

funny part about that is that those of us in Charlotte were actually complaining about the heat in-stadium a bit with a 2PM (well 2:15 really) start yesterday. Zaha came in as good as advertised in his first match and managed 1+1 despite constant double and triple teams from Atlanta.

Potential for a bigger fee is my guess. The guys on Soccerwise said something similar.

Seattle has been very poor to start the year with the ball along the backline. I desperately hope they get rid of Nouhou who is absolutely terrible.

with the way he's playing so far, no one's going to pay a cent for him

it's going to be a loooooong season for LAG

Injury bug is hitting like a brick wall.

No Puig, Paintsil or Yamane. Sanabria and Garces hurt today and Cuevas has been out too. New signing Naschimento has gotten hurt as well. Couldn't have asked for a worse start to a season.

Hopefully they find a to tread water for a while, but this team is toothless without Riqui running the midfield. Even when he comes back it's asking a lot for him to be as he was last year.
