MLS Thread: Enter Zlatan

[sabremike]

If the BWP 100th goal celebration hadn't happened Tyler Adams faking Shweinsteiger out of his jock strap tonight would've been the moment of the year.

Happy J9 is back in Columbus...and a neccessary 3 points...

Setting aside the fact that the Galaxy did not get any help from VAR tonight, I'm sick and tired of giving up leads. Its like ****ing clockwork

 

[kingsboy11]

Holy ****!! What an amazing ending in the United/Orlando game.

Brad Smith given his debut today for Seattle. Absolutely fantastic half from him. His speed stands out in a big way. He’s the player we were looking for to replace Jones.

Late drama in Seattle. Basically Ruidiaz ran into Ziegler and then Ziegler got sent off. That red card could be overturned but then Ziegler pushed the AR so I could see him getting suspended for that. After that Dallas players starting coming after Seattle players with a couple of hard fouls. The ref had enough and called game. Afterward Torres and Lamah had to be separated. Multiple staff members had to be separated. I could see a few bans/things to be looked at from this game.

I love how Rooney is too exhausted from that to even celebrate

I’m so tired of this Miami franchise and they haven’t even played a game yet.

I love that logo. If they go with a pink/black kit design I will be thrilled.

I didn't like the Florida teams at first, but if they're going to wear tremendous and underutilized colours like pink and purple then I can't help but love em.

Seattle just crapping on LAs awful defense.

 

[kingsboy11]

I knew this would be a bad day. Seattle is rolling, Galaxy reeling. No Zlatan, Gio, Jona, Allessandrini, Ciani (not that he would've helped). You would have never guessed that this team has the highest paid defense in the league. Its flat out embarrassing. Every single goal has been caused by simple mistakes.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Seattle is definitely playing well but none of these goals are on highlight reel plays. All of them have come from capitalizing on LA’s mistakes.

Only top 3 East teams have positive GD, Columbus is at 0, everyone else is negative.

Speaks volumes.

 

[Fro]

Still think it was wrong to not review the handball...what a swing in matter of seconds for Atlanta

 

[ecemleafs]

that 2nd sending off in the nycfc nyrb game was utterly ridiculous

 

[BKIslandersFan]

For LA Derby and New York Derby, I think one of their three matches should be at Inglewood Stadium and Metlife, respectively.

All nycfc games should be played at MetLife. That field is a disgrace to the sport.

 

[Pouchkine]

It disgraces the MLS.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

It disgraces the MLS.

MLS needs a team in the city.

 

[Pouchkine]

Why? There's none in NFL.

 

[Basement Cat]

It definitely doesn't "need" a team in the city. MLS was improving year after year in many regards without one and it's clear that teams like LAFC and Atlanta have done more to elevate the league than NYCFC ever has.

It's embarrassing that any games on that postage stamp are on national television. NYCFC has a ton of talent and can play an attractive brand of soccer on their best day. The Hudson Derby games at RBA are usually played at a much higher level. It is impossible for the game to get into any kind of rhythm at Yankee Stadium. Players can't bring the ball down most of the time without someone breathing down their neck which results in twice as many headers/lofted balls than on a normal field. Also, it is impossible to play the ball out wide since the 18 is essentially on the touchline. Hell, when NYCFC was down to 9 men last night, it still seemed like they could have a defender near the ball and closing down lanes without any fear of being caught out. It is a disgrace that non-MLS fans or casuals flip on FS1 and see that BS.

The Third Fail outdid themselves with the tifo on Red Bull killing teams. First was they referenced the wrong Leipzig team in the tifo, second CFG has done the same exact thing (see Melbourne Hearts), third (and this is the best part) they totally stole the tifo from Montreal (and this is the second time they stole a tifo idea from another supporters group). One of our supporters just destroyed them in the most savage way possible by saying we were going to respond with a tifo memorializing all the people their owners have killed.

 

[Pouchkine]

Playing games on a joke baseball pitch makes MLS look MINOR LEAGUE. Nothing else. People look and say " well the league still is a joke, why can't we have a serious league here of real soccer"?

 

[Live in the Now]

Does it look bad when teams play on rugby fields? Because that happens all the time in Europe's top flight leagues.
