PBP: 2026 MLS Season: MLS is Back!!!! PBP Thread July 16 & 17 {R}

That might be hitting the torso?

 

Corner kick or a PK for St. Louis? VAR working on it.

 

Lowen scores the PK. 3-2 St. Louis in the 86th.

 

The two games tonight are averaging 2.5 goals per game.

 

8 minutes of stoppage time? Sporting still have a chance.

 

*narrator* they did not.

 

St. Louis are now unbeaten in their last 6 games and sit in 10th place in the West. They are playing much better than the first month and a half of the season, but they still have plenty of room for improvement if they want to be a playoff quality participant.

 

*head in hands* that was a nice goal...

 

That was a crazy good goal by Kelsy. Nice assist too.

 

What an assist on that one. Dropped it right into his path for the header.

 

This is a really fun game.

 

I was momentarily taken aback by there only being two minutes of stoppage; what about the three for the Hydration Break?

 

Three goals from the forwards in 2026 for the Sounders, and "maybe" they'll open the purse and sign someone? That really should be a must.

 

Yea, it's incredible that they are still starting this version of Jordan Morris. Rarely is it so obvious where a team needs an upgrade.

 

I changed my mind. MLS can go back on break...

 

Where's @sitruc when he's otherwise getting exactly what he wants?

Lopez got burned badly there.

 

Daaayum .... we are, like, way better without a (permanent) coach

 

Simulation it is

 

I think they decided it was easier to call it as outside the box rather than simulation.

Several good saves by Pantemis since it went 4-0.
