PBP: 2026 MLS Season Week 4 PBP Thread March 14 - 15 {R}

Dagger.

 

LA with the dagger.

 

Regular dagger or double dagger?

 

Musa is a problem.

Ya know, he's a real contender for the scoring title.
Thats's not rocket science. He's currently the league leader.

Its a bizarre thing to see a center forward who is in line to make Croatia's World Cup roster.....................on FC Dallas? [He's been called up to their March camp with games against Colombia and Brazil.]

Weird stat. The only player in Dallas history now with more than one hat-trick. That's kind of a weird stat, because they've had some goalscorers over the years. You'd have thought Kreis would have done that years and years ago.

 

Winning it in the 15th added minute with a 10-man MLS advantage, no less.

 

Let's face it, with St. Louis' lack of scoring prowess, the first goal by Choiniere in the 73rd minute constituted 'the dagger'!

 

St. Louis CITY SC's Starting XI is decent, and they are growing into Damet's new system. The falloff from CITY's Starting XI to the two-deep roster is large. The roster seems fragile. CITY doesn't look like a Spoon contender, but also doesn't look like a playoff team. For a rebuilding season and a work in progress, they aren't the Titanic.

LAFC's Starting XI and two-deep roster are exceptional. LAFC has the look of a strong defensive team with an above average offense, a strong identity, and a very real chance to raise the MLS Cup. If LAFC avoids the injury bug, they could be the rare team that snags both the Shield and the Cup. They are a very strong team.

 

If LAFC win MLS Cup would Dos Santos get the trifecta of winning MLS, USL and NASL?

 

This is one of those weekends where the NWSL team is going to have a bigger attendance in the same MLS venue. That's becoming much more regular for the Spirit. I don't see that becoming a Legacy thing, but BOS Nation has won this weekend.

 

There we go

New England 0-1 Cincy

 

The lowly Revs have been scored upon.

 

O F*C*C*

 

Looks like I missed a goal while making a cup of tea. I guess it's appropriate it is the team that replaced the New England Tea Men that scored.

New England 1-1 Cincy

 

That grass looks great.

 

It only takes a minute man.

 

This game is not without goals

New England 2-1 Cincy

 

and moments later NER have a lead.

 

Since yesterday's Charlotte-Miami nil-nil, all nine matches have had at least one team score 2 or more goals.

 

And again, this time right before the break

New England 3-1 Cincy

 

Dagger.

 

I miss seeing Caleb Porter on the sidelines.

 

New England looking like world-beaters today. Good luck next weekend, St. Louis City...looks like they'll need it.

 

The scoring has continued for NER.

 

Goals keep pouring in

New England 4-1 Cincy

 

Is this the Cincy that beat Tigres?
Suddenly that 3-0 lead doesn't look so big.
