2020 MLS Thread

[Zepol87 9186]

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 5976]

That's pretty weak from FC Dallas. 

[SimonBolivar 10958]

Leon and LAFC on FS2 right now. Fun start.

[SimonBolivar 10958]

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 10958]

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

 

Edit: Martinez ties it up for Atlanta.

[SimonBolivar 10958]

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 10958]

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 12598]

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

[Napoleon 8679]

LAFC putting on a clinic on how to finish. 

[Jive Turkey 12598]

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

[Napoleon 8679]

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 3591]

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 12598]

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

[shnsajax 3591]

Roldan just Baggio’ed that one.

[Napoleon 8679]

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

[Jive Turkey 12598]

Fuck Seattle. No love for them.

Yep. It has been damn good 

[shnsajax 3591]

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

[SimonBolivar 10958]

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

[MillerEP 30455]

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

[SimonBolivar 10958]

Sweet goal for Montreal. 

[Jive Turkey 12598]

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

[Knoxtnhorn 5976]

Yes, Thursday night was great TV.

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

[Buzzrock 14920]

Vamos ATL!

Josef probably destroyed his knee though so fuck everything.

[Buzzrock 14920]

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

[Buzzrock 14920]

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 3591]

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

[shnsajax 3591]

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

[shnsajax 3591]

[Jive Turkey 12598]

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:

FC Dallas 6 players COVID positive

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

 

[Saint Austin 745]

...and FC Dallas is withdrawing from the tournament. Fuck.

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

[Buzzrock 14920]

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

[Buzzrock 14920]

See?
