    2018 Orlando is now tied with 2017 Minnesota... with a few games left to play.

    Orlando, like Minnesota, appears to have no idea what they’re doing on the road.

    I can’t remember another MLS season with four embarrassing and historically bad teams comparable to San Jose, Colorado, Orlando, and Minnesota in 2018... usually there are 1-2 not four.

    I suspect this will only persist as the league grows in number of teams.

    The great thing about parity is that - come back in five years and three of those four teams will be different.

    Remember when Orlando came into the league, and many folks and their fans thought they'd be a perennial playoff team? Remember when some folks thought that Orlando's USL teams could compete for and make the playoffs in MLS? GOOD times!!

    MLS is way more difficult than many people realize, including "football people."

    Easy. There aren't 50K people screaming about it on social media, and the media equivalent.

    I would also add. There is nothing funnier than the people throwing in the Fire first season into the mix like it was another coach. That was also Bradley.

    It was also before he drafted Michael when he was coach of the MetroStars, or regularly played him as USMNT head coach.

    That's really when Bob started getting grief - the perceived nepotism. Despite the fact that I can't think anyone could make a coherent argument that Michael didn't actually deserve the playing time he got.

    And that is not necessarily because he is someone worthy of disrespect, etc. I think it's because Bradley's name connects to several things about LAFC that were not "New And FRESH" compared to virtually everything about Atlanta United.
    LAFC's Story: Recycled Chivas USA, Recycled head coach, Recycled attempt at second team in LA, lots of aging celebrities in ownership (done already by Seattle).
    Atlanta Untied Story: NEW Team in the hard to break into south, Famous coach from Not-USA, Ownership with strong NFL reputation, Extraordinary stadium shared with NFL team, but without the compromises

    31 goals given up under Kreis in 15 games = 2.07 goals per game.
    6 goals given up under Murphy in 2 games = 3.00 goals per game.
    33 goals given up under O'Conner in 14 games = 2.36 goals per game

    Hmmm... methinks the problem wasn't the coach. In fact, all but 1 of Orlando's wins came under Kreis. Well done, FO of Orlando... well done.

    Sin embargo, la llegada del Pipa a Los Ángeles vendría acompañada de un posible arribo de Guillermo Barros Schelotto como entrenador del equipo de la MLS. Todo indica que el Mellizo no seguirá en el Xeneize y tendría dos ofertas del fútbol norteamericano, entre ellas, una de Los Galaxy.
