And so begins yet another exhilarating week of MLS Action!! Starting a little early this week with a game on Tuesday. Playoff races are really heating up this week with crucial conference match-ups. Remember to keep things NEUTRAL in the N&A Game Thread. Also, try to refrain from PERSONAL ATTACKS as well. After all.............there is an ignore button for a reason............ All game times are eastern. National TV games are noted. All other games can be seen on ESPN+. Tuesday August 14 LAG vs. COL 10:30PM Wednesday August 15 DCU vs. POR 8:00PM LAF vs. RSL 10:00PM ESPN2 Canadian Championship Second Leg TFC (2) vs. VAN (2) 7:30PM Saturday August 18 SEA vs. LAG 4:00PM ESPN PHL vs. NYC 7:00PM VAN vs. NYR 7:00PM MTL vs. CHI 7:30PM FCD vs. MNU 8:00PM SKC vs. POR 8:30PM HOU vs. RSL 9:00PM SJE vs. TFC 10:00PM Sunday August 19 ATL vs. CBS 4:00PM DCU vs. NER 7:30PM FS1 LAF vs. COL 10:00PM
Everyone should get ESPN+ is only 5 bucks a month and you get most games. Hard to beat a deal like that.
Also a big game for LAFC. They have one game in hand on LAG, RSL, and VWFC. If they don't win they are essentially right down in that dogfight with RSL, SEA, VWFC, and LAG. A win gives them some space to breathe at least. A loss means that if Seattle wins there would be 3 points separating 5 teams for 3 play-off spots and only 1 point between 4 of those teams through 24 games.

Oh damn.. Zlatan is starting tonight. I’m sure this will have absolutely no impact on whether he plays in Seattle on Saturday. Everyone knows how much he loves FieldTurf and he will surely enjoy a third game in 8 days on turf. Two changes to the XI from Saturday as Chris Pontius & Sebastian Lletget get the start → https://t.co/d7dHDIG1DH pic.twitter.com/LQdUFtPYmC— LA Galaxy (@LAGalaxy) August 15, 2018
This game desperately needs a goal.............. If the Rapids bunker................Hudson should be fired (should have been fired already but I digress). It's not like they are fighting for a playoff spot, they're already Toast!
