i guess i didn't think a full blown rebuild was necessary.  they started 2019 very strong, injuries piled up, CONCACAF early had them playing a couple games a week.  not saying he's the answer, but maybe he is.  need help on the back end.


i'm also new to soccer, so i don't understand any of the salary cap, drafting, international players, etc.

i'm just happy to have an apparent stud on the team.

Like if you're getting ready for a rebuild this seems like a weird time to put so much resources into one player who's currently in his prime

They're not going to rebuild. They aren't going to replace Besler, Zusi, Espinoza, and Melia all at once. It is worth noting that they have added a goal keeper, fullback, and center back the last two transfer windows. There's also a young fullback and midfielder that they have spent multiple years getting ready to play.

first 2 matches were very pleasing to my eyeballs.  Pulido/Kinda were great pickups.  hope we can stay healthy should be a fun season.

It’s a pandemic with almost no sports, so I watched an MLS game. That was a bummer.
:adios:

I shitted approximately 8 bricks. Everything that happened will overshadow how awful Graham Smith was.

The thing in Orlando was the "MLS is Back" tournament. After that they resumed the regular season. They started letting some fans in last weekend.

Shelton looks like a completely different player this year. glad he got the goal last night because he completely earned it with his play throughout the first half.


also lol at our defense in the first 20 minutes, that was some vintage early 2000s MLS

Busio is so so so ridiculously good. I'm guessing he doesn't want his future to be a defensive midfielder but my god he's so good there.

Agreed.  It was hard to tell how much of it was FC Dallas making terrible decisions but he was just effortlessly intercepting everything.

He was very good there against Colorado as well.

His PK performance overshadowed the ridiculous saves he made during the match, that double save was  :surprised:

The MLS playoffs have been insane, amazingly great television.

I don't know where to find anything terribly definitive on this, but we host the MLS Cup now if we make it?

Yes. We had the 3rd best regular season record, the teams with the two best records, Philadelphia and Toronto, have been bounced.

Going into the playoffs my bracket had SKC hosting Orlando, still holds up.

Good deal - I didn't know for sure with the points per game as opposed to overall points.
