MLS

[Jordan]

The new MLS Cup playoff format has proven to be awesome so far.

[Muzzy_Larsson]

Yeah really enjoyed it.  Must say I really enjoy watching the MLS, you'll get the football snobs who'll say the quality isn't great and they don't watch it as a result and on the former that's true but most of the matches are exciting and filled with goals.

It's been a long drawn out depressing season for my Timbers..It'll all be over soon.

I've been following the Timbers for a few years now, ever since Leicester sent Jack Barmby out there on loan (They're also the club where Kasey Keller started his career!), They're certainly not an easy team to follow. This season went pretty much the same as last, poor for most of the year and sneaking into the playoffs at the last minute. Very were lucky to make it to the final last season and got what we deserved this year. Valeri and Chara both a couple of seasons past their best now. Is there anything good coming through the youth system there?

Tbf Its probably Scottish football standard so not much of a change from your regular football habits

I'd say that's being pretty harsh on the MLS haha

How about TFC back to their 3rd final in 4 years against the same bloody Sounders. 

 

 

Nice goal but what utter shit defending for a semi final wow.

 

Come on TFC smash the Sounders!

Guess they ran out of steam after knocking out the 2 favourites in the East. Did well to even make the final this year.

 

Congrats to Seattle.

More reason that it sucks lol. Ah well.

Season starts this weekend.

 

Just noticed that Thierry Henry is the new manager for Montreal Impact.

 

Oh, and two new teams:

 

Inter Miami CF (co-owned by Beckham)

 

Nashville SC

Who's the team to watch this season? And which ground is known for an atmosphere on match day? 

 

Over in the States for the majority of Sept and Oct and wouldn't mind seeing a few matches across the country.

Hard to bet against LAFC, who should have won it last season. Seattle is always up there in the West.

 

NYFC and Atlanta should both be up there again in the East.

 

Portland have a great atmosphere along with Seattle, which also makes for a good derby.

 

Hoping Toronto FC can be up there again. Also pretty good home fans.

[spacemunky]

Tough for TFC to have the win snatched away late, but credit to San Jose as the goal was a great one:

 

 

[spacemunky]

Watching Miami's debut at LAFC. Great test to see how they stack up early.

[spacemunky]

Decent 1st half from Miami, but Vela's chip was a thing of beauty.

[spacemunky]

Torn ACL for Josef Martinez in Atlanta's opener. Massive blow for them.

I'd have said Atlanta too but losing Martinez probably for the whole season is a huge miss.. 

 

LAFC or Seattle are your next best teams for entertainment. Vela and Ruidiaz respectively for those sides are probably the best players in the league. 

 

Giovinco was good for Toronto and also made them very good to watch but don't think he's there any more?

Gio is in Saudi Arabia now. Miss him.

 

Pozuelo is the man here now at TFC. Got him from Genk and he's been terrific.

The Montreal Impact confirmed the transfer of Victor Wanyama from Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday, signing the Kenya midfielder as the club's latest Designated Player.

 

There was no transfer fee for the player.

 

The 28-year-old Wanyama made 97 appearances for Spurs over four seasons since signing from Southampton in 2017.

Season ending injury on the opening day?! Absolutely gutted for the lad, its no secret that i'm a big admirer of his. Would love to have seen him in the Premier League next season but can't see that happening now!

[Muzzy_Larsson]

Gonna be a big miss for Atlanta losing effectively Martinez and Nagbe from last season's side and not really replacing the latter.  I know they've got Hyndman there permanently now but he played in the same side as Nagbe second half of last season.

[KingsX]

How about that Crew from Columbus, Ohio!

 

This is the best American manager you all have never heard of.  He could become the best ever.  Caleb Porter has built a lifetime CV in a single decade:

 

 

University of Akron (one NCAA title and one runner up)

Portland Timbers (MLS Champions)

Columbus Crew (MLS Champions)

 

Those two Ohio sides were anything but favorites.  But they were sound, exciting, and well coached.  I would love to see what Porter could do in the Championship -- and then higher.  He’s a classy dude.

[Scotch]

Right, new MLS season starting soon. I've been getting more and more interested in it over the last few seasons due to the unique and amazing atmospheres so I've decided that this year is the year to pick a team. 

Who better that the club starting their first ever season, Austin FC.

Some absolutely superb kits in the MLS for this season 

[irishfoxkev]

I’ll stick with Orlando City as I got to go to 3 of their games a few years ago when on holiday there. Even bought a white away jersey which I still have. Kaka was their star man back then...Now Nani.
