PBP: MLS 2019 Season Week 1 Game Thread (R)

True.. and it’s not like he had anything else to do.

 

And hopefully Guzan joins Howard and Rimando.

 

Gotta do better, Lodeiro.. but holy crap. Who are these Sounders?? This much speed on the counter is nuts.

 

I don't think this FCC team is top 5 in USL this year.

 

Not denying that, but the Sounders have been pretty plodding prior series. Just having a counter is nice.

 

Hagglund looking like he is getting worked.

 

I feel like they're trying to tell us that Frei is good.

 

Mattocks can't even start for Cincy and he was actually decent in DC last year?

 

Here's a poll question. Who will be FC Cincinnati's first MLS victim this season?
A) Chicago
B) New England
C) Orlando
D) Somebody Else

I only included Eastern teams since they play each other twice. I guess I could have put in San Jose, Vancouver, or Houston too.

 

They also mentioned he was dinged up, so maybe he’ll start over Bone going forward?

 

March 30th, at home against Philly.

 

Atlanta seems to lose to bad teams, tho..

 

Cincinnati's schedule

@ Atlanta (L)
vs.Portland (L)
@ New England (L)
vs. Philadelphia (W)

I'm going against Philadelphia in their 5th game

 

What is this.. Whitecaps reunion game?

 

This could be the first double digit game in MLS history 10-0 Atlanta

 

Colorado was that for an SKC reunion. Feilhaber, Kamara, and Rubio.

 

FCC looks less incompetent this half.

 

While true.. 2 of their 7 losses last season were against Houston and Toronto.

 

Atlanta will be days away from hosting Monterrey for the second leg of their CCL tie. They'll be playing a C squad against FCC. Should only win 4-0.

 

Nouhou didn't twirl in. May be a bad omen for the Sounders.

 

He wants to, but he was told to hold back.

 

Been ages since he did that - so disappointing

 

Double, triple rep!
