Positive: Still no goals given up by the Crew after 3 games.
Not-so-positive: The same is also true of the Union.

Nick Marsman will be available for Miami in July. No idea if he’s good but the keeper position is definitely a problem.

The Columbus/PU match was probably the best 0-0 MLS match I've seen. Lots of end-to-end play. A good, high pace. The level of play in the league is definitely getting better

why exactly did amaya want out of cincy?
guessing it wasn't so that he could be closer to home, considering he's in NY now

Probably cause Cincy is probably the worst franchise in the MLS.
Really? Columbus of last year would beat the Galaxy of Robbie Keane?
There's a lot of very average teams also you should watch some Whitecaps games.
As an Impact fan the last season was absolutely terrible to watch.
It really depends which teams you watch.

Neither of these teams are average though, they are basement dwellers.

The Sounders the last few years were fantastic. Same with Columbus last season. I think either of those teams are a coin flip with the old Galaxy teams and it depends on form and injuries.

I think if you pitted the top 4 clubs from 2011 and the top 4 of 2021, the 2021 group would win more than not.
There were obviously some good teams back then but I think the league is stronger overall today and there’s a stronger group at the top
I would agree with a stronger group at the top but 27 teams is way too much and there's some really bad teams and games.

MLS’ level of play has been at a level where adding teams doesn’t dilute the field and the added revenue to the single-entity structure raises the level over time through salary cap increases.
In a decade, the minimum salary will be near $150,000. That’s inching toward a pay scale similar to EFL League One and some Championship clubs. Even then, expansion would likely not present significant dilution issues considering how many players in the world there are who compete to that level.

MLS talent in 2021 is far better than it was a decade ago
but those '11, '12, and '14 LAG teams were just stacked with talent. wish we could see how a match would go between one of those teams and the last couple MLS cup champs
