PBP: 2026 MLS Season Week 8 PBP Thread April 17 - 19 {R}

DC United: Not complete shit tonight.

 

St Louis does not seem to understand that corner kicks can go past the far post. 2 goals off of corners for the sounders. 2-0 Sounders

 

An early night for this kid! St. Louis can rally from a one-goal deficit, but two goals? That's asking for the moon!

 

4-1 in SLC

 

Hot damn! What a play by Luna to open that play.

4-1 going into the half.

 

Post or it would have been 5-1.

 

MLS, this is what everyone is tired of. The fop two articles on the home page are both about the Colorado - Miami match. Or should I say they are both about Miami and manage at least work in one mention of the team they were playing. Never mind the close score line or the fact that the home team was an original team celebrating their 30th anniversary.

 

Disappointment.

 

Lebron and four dudes win a playoff game. That also happened 20 years ago.

 

Those goal kicks are pretty common now.

 

It was nice to see Eduard Lowen back in action for St. Louis. Hope he and his kids are doing OK. Great way to come back and stop Seattle's shutout attempt; the team's lone bright spot on a fruitless trip to the PNW.

 

It's disgusting how cheaply these goals are conceded. Colorado spots Miami their first goal, and loses the game by a single goal. San Diego may have well just shot it into their own goal as give it to Luna 5 yards out. With the season that team is having thus far, they might want to limit the number of times they give the ball away inside their six yard box.

 

Did you see Arsenal's goal today? More or less the same thing.

 

I just checked it out, thanks . . . yes, very much the same thing here.

 

This week's two 3-3 draws seems like a somewhat scarce occurrence. The 3-3 draws happen periodically and were the second and third 3-3 draws so far this season. This made me curious about the highest scoring draw match. According to the 2026 MLS Fact and Record Booj, the record is NY Metrostars 5-5 San Jose Earthquakes on May 8, 2004.

 

We're coming up on a very busy schedule for many teams. We have 11 MLS matches this coming Wednesday, a full slate of 15 next weekend, 8 USOC round of 16 matches (several involving two MLS teams) the following midweek, and another full slate of league matches that weekend.

 

Just looking at who SJ & LAFC have already played - I'll let you interpret it as you all seem fit.

(Rankings are the current Supporters' Shield standings)

#3 San Jose
Wins against #1 Vancouver, #16 San Diego, #27 Philly, #28 Atl, #29 SKC (x2)
Loss to #5 Seattle

#4 LAFC
Wins against #7 Miami, #11 Dallas, #18 Houston, #26 St Louis, #30 Orlando
Tie with #23 Austin
Loss to #22 Portland

 

A game is happening.

 

That YC on Tillman was an interesting call.

 

What a nice goal by Bouda...great build-up by the Quakes!

 

That was quite a back-and-forth before the goal.
