MLS 2022/23

[Zaphod2319]

I am getting a little excited about Atlanta's chances. It is still early and the team needs to come together, but the core of the team is looking like it could come together. Thiago Almada looks like a good signing. Bringing in Ronaldo Cisneros on loan could be a good punt...that is really a wait and see. I am not sure Guzan has the agility needed as he looks all of 37 years old.. He is often rooted.

Going to be a fun season.

Thiago Almada seems like a coup for the MLS.

Costly win to be in 3rd and tied with 2nd on points. Alonso torn ACL. Rossetto hamstring. Josef getting his knee examined again.

Might as well convert this into an Atlanta Utd thread

That Thiago Almada debut goal was pretty sweet.

 

[Zaphod2319]

Almada looks to be a bright young player that will get stronger. He has his head up and charging at all times. Atlanta has had a busier start to the season than other teams. Seven games in and we have had 13 significant injuries, 4 season ending. You would think it is the artificial turf, but every injury has occured on grass at the training facility or away games.

Sounders first MLS team to win CONCACAF Champions League. Format changed 16 years ago from the week long tournament Champions Cup. Mexico has dominated for 16 years.

Over 68000 in attendance in Seattle.

 

[bosskeano]

Seattle absolutely DOMINATED Pumas last night in the second leg winning 3-0

Covid through all schedules off, but is this the year that Club World Cup expands to 24 teams?

Congrats to the MLS for finally winning against Liga MX after 16 years of Mexican dominance.

Hopefully Sounders will do a good representation of Concacaf in the Club World Cup.

The worst offside call to wipe out a goal ever just happened to Nashville in their game against Atlanta. Horrendous call, no VAR

Is it possibly the home pitch?

 

[Zaphod2319]

Atlanta is cursed this year. There is no other explanation! Many of these injuries happened on their practice pitch which is grass.

The final is amazing. Bale just scored the equaliser to make it 3-3 in the 9th minute of injury time, in extra time.

 

[klayton88]

Surprised there's been no chatter on here. Great game.

 

[MarylandMUFan]

This is bonkers. I imagine the Philly keeper is better at pens?

 

[TheReligion]

The LA fans have behaved terribly throwing things on the pitch like crazy

What the hell are they doing drinking in LA?

 

[Lay]

Tello with a terrible penalty.

Its how the live and die in LA

 

[Lay]

The feck was that

He John Terry'd it

 

[Lay]

Philadelphia missed all their pens

Congrats LAFC.

 

[Canucantona20]

Philly just choked this game away

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Philly were the better team for 124 minutes, then they Philly'd it.

 

[Caius]

Terrible finish to the game by Philly but cool to see Bale popping up with a big final goal for old times' sake

 

[utdalltheway]

They did look better, until the penos.
What a story, LA keeper is injured and is sent off; the backup is a former Philly player that saved 2 penos in the shootout. You couldn’t write that: people wouldn’t believe it.

 

[MarylandMUFan]

Now I need the Astros to win to complete the perfect "F you Philly" day.

 

[utdalltheway]

Yeah, There’s an element of that in their fan base. Trash.

 

[Ted Lasso]

Philly were the better team for 124 minutes, then they Philly'd it.

That's up there for one of Philly's biggest sporting fails. Unbelievable choke

 

[spottieottiedopaliscious]

I second this. Though LA isn’t much better.

Each year I find some time to watch the MLS playoffs, and with each year I become more convinced: MLS playoff football is the most entertaining and rewarding football out there. Controversial I know, maybe sacriledge, but between the refs actually controlling things, players cheating much less rarely and ridiculous drama it really is true for me that MLS is just more fun than most European football.

It's more chaotic and less predictable.

 

[Beachryan]

The final is amazing. Bale just scored the equaliser to make it 3-3 in the 9th minute of injury time, in extra time.

Bale has now played in 12 major finals, and scored in 6 of them.

Not bad.
