2020 MLS Thread

[Zepol87 9,348]

Didn't a see a thread started but lots of big news going on in MLS this season. New CBA was signed last week and money again "should" be going up. Chicharito in LA now, MLS threatening to pull Nashville's charter since the mayor is blocking some stadium construction. Pizarro going to Miami from Monterrey. 

Also in today's news FC Dallas FO is still a big fucking embarrassment. Last year they had a sale on LAG jerseys when Zlatan came into town and now just hyping up opponents again. 

 

[Knoxtnhorn 6,312]

That's pretty weak from FC Dallas. 

[SimonBolivar 11,068]

Leon and LAFC on FS2 right now. Fun start.

[SimonBolivar 11,068]

Oh and this looks to be 20 straight years without an MLS team winning CONCACAF....oh look there is an MLS defense, 1-0 Leon.

[SimonBolivar 11,068]

Atlanta also down to CD Motagua in Honduras....

 

Edit: Martinez ties it up for Atlanta.

[SimonBolivar 11,068]

Not the best night for MLS. Road games and preseason will be the excuse, but a 2-0 L @ Leon by "the best team" LAFC and it could've been worse. Atlanta is set with a road tie and a goal, but still need wins vs Honduran teams. 

 

Montreal up tomorrow night and then NYCFC and Seattle on Thursday.

Return match in LA is on now on FS1.  LAFC scored. Now down 2-1 on aggregate. This is pretty good stuff. 

Seattle is also playing on FS2. 

[SimonBolivar 11,068]

MLS hasn't done that bad so far, but only LAFC has faced a Liga MX squad. Man we need a Liga MX/MLS Cup.

[Jive Turkey 13,018]

LAFC must be trying to lose. They’ve missed soooo many chances. 

[Napoleon 8,852]

LAFC putting on a clinic on how to finish. 

[Jive Turkey 13,018]

And just like that, LAFC scores twice and is leading 3-2 aggregate. 

[Napoleon 8,852]

Seattle defender got away with only a yellow on a clothesline to the face of the opponent in the dying seconds. 

Not on to a shootout. 

[shnsajax 3,607]

And just like that, LAFC scores twice and is leading 3-2 aggregate. 

 

LAFC Outshot them 22-7. 10 on goal vs 0.

 

Seattle needs to win this.

[Jive Turkey 13,018]

Who thought I’d be glued to the tv watching Concacaf champions league on a Thursday night. 

[shnsajax 3,607]

Roldan just Baggio’ed that one.

[Napoleon 8,852]

Olimpia’s players have much bigger stones than the butches in Seattle. 

[Jive Turkey 13,018]

Fuck Seattle. No love for them.

Yep. It has been damn good 

[shnsajax 3,607]

I just wish MLS could get their season going before the round of 16 starts.

[SimonBolivar 11,068]

The season is officially underway with DC and Colorado both looking like HS teams right now.

[MillerEP 30,907]

First time I've ever needed to use SAP for English on my TV, in order to watch the Dynamo-Galaxy game.

[SimonBolivar 11,068]

Sweet goal for Montreal. 

[Jive Turkey 13,018]

I’m digging FC Dallas’s new home kits. 

[Knoxtnhorn 6,312]

Yes, Thursday night was great TV.

Assuming he's there, I think I saw @Zepol87 .

[Buzzrock 15,142]

Vamos ATL!

Josef probably destroyed his knee though so fuck everything.

[Buzzrock 15,142]

Yeah bad news. Fingers crossed it’s not too serious.

[Buzzrock 15,142]

Torn ACL. Could miss the whole season. Fuck.

Oh shit.  I quit on them and took a glorious nap.  Good for the old czech and the young american.

[shnsajax 3,607]

LAFC Philly is fucking great right now. 2-2 49th minute, two great free kick goals and a counter by Rossi.

[shnsajax 3,607]

Nuts, Philly takes a 3-2 lead in the 70th. LAFC ties it in the 72. 3-3 now.

[shnsajax 3,607]

[Jive Turkey 13,018]

FC Dallas is showing their debut game, 25 years ago, on their website.  It's at the Cotton Bowl.  Spanish language broadcast.  Had no idea the great Andres Cantor called it.

MLS players took a nice fucking in the cba renegotiation. They had a nice deal pre-covid but never got ratified due to shutdown. Owners made them renegotiate and fucked them with no vaseline.

Now that EPL is pretty much done now that Liverpool locked it up it’s the perfect time to turn our heads to MLS. Starts back July 8:

Everyone's at Disney and ...

FC Dallas 6 players COVID positive

Columbus 8 players positive after the entire team went under quarantine when two players tested positive. 

 

[Saint Austin 776]

Didn't think MLS could get more boring on tv. Thanks a lot, Rona

[Buzzrock 15,142]

Unfair advantage. Orlando is used to playing in front of no one.

[Buzzrock 15,142]

See?
