2026 Non-Massive MLS teams (because Eboe said it should be clarified) (Come Bite The Apple!)

Philly lost to atlanta. 0-4 to start the year. Carnell is inverse porter

 

Send Gazdag over for free.

 

If it wasnt for a 3-0 win over a tigres team that went from the airport (in kentucky) to the game, FCC would be cooked. Losing 4-1

 

Thank god Philly lost again, we're still only the second worst team in the conference!!

 

I think they need their hometown hero back

 

Good news Orlando and philly are worse than us

 

Took a couple games but Damet has hartel looking good

 

72nd minute and FCC is down to 10 men at home and losing to CF Montreal 3-2.

Unfortunately, this season seems to be down to hate watching.

Edit: FCC draws level 3-3 in the 80th minute.

 

FCC with a stoppage time goal off of a long throw in. Montreal looked absolutely terrible up a man. Have no idea what they were doing either offensively or defensively.

 

💣 BREAKING: Antoine Griezmann is traveling to finalizing a summer transfer to Orlando City from Atletico Madrid, per sources.

Huge deal for Orlando who land the World Cup winner and Atleti legend.

Romano says its a done deal.

 

Retirement league.

 

He's rebounded this year, but he's definitely best as a second/withdrawn striker, I wonder if Orlando uses him correctly.

 

MLS has had had a fair number of teams over the years who’ve gone from worst to first (or close) over the years. Going from first to worst… well, we’re personally aware of winning MLS Cup in one season and missing the playoffs the next. Sometimes good teams fall off a cliff very quickly.

But Philly, man. Supporters Shield winners last year. Zero points from six games this year. That’s something.

Also, I can’t root for Austin, of course, but I see they held Miami to a draw in the opener of their new stadium.

 

The Galaxy were defending champions last year and didn't record a win until their 17th game: 12 losses and 4 draws to open the season. Philly still has 10 games to outdo that. They play at Montreal and at Orlando during that stretch, as well as playing us twice. They've been close in five of their six matches so far. I think they'll break through and get a couple wins.

 

What games you guys watching today since we don’t play till Sunday ?
1pm
FCC @ TFC- I’ll prob watch that and hope for a draw
230pm
MTL@ Philly - might watch some of this and also hope for a draw

730pm
2 really good games on with EC teams
Nash @ Char
RBNY @ Miami
Obviously need a draw in both but I will definitely watch Messi unless it’s a blowout then switch

late games - prob won’t watch but might watch my friends STL team lose to Dallas just for a good laugh

 

Idk they sold Baribo who was their best player , I think the team was gut punched by that move and has not recovered.

 

FCC losing is great although it puts Toronto way ahead of us. It’s not a draw but it’s the next best thing

edit spoke to soon counter and it’s 1-1 lol

 

Philly equalizes with MTL and almost gets another one

 

Philly wind wasn’t a very exciting match i took a nap and missed a lot of it

 

I’ve posted in years past about the glut of bad teams in the league, but this year seems different. As in, more extreme and pronounced. From what I’ve seen, I think almost the entire Eastern conference, save Nashville, is somewhere between average to bad to atrocious. Miami is talented enough to where they’ll probably turn things around, also math and logic dictate that someone somewhere has to finish second or third.

But outside of the 2 East teams named above? NYCFC was second coming into today and they’ve had a 39 year old play almost every minute so far. I don’t trust them at all, the talent just isn’t there. On down the standings I look and I just see a lot of nothing.

The West is really pretty good though. That flipped quickly and sharply from how things were a few years ago.

 

Looks like a win would put us in 9th which is ok considering how bad we started the season.

 

MLS is similar to the NHL

1) Hitting on DPs = Having NHL No. 1 Center

2) Spending to the raised MLS Cap post-flip will be necessary


2/3rds of MLS teams feel like the Blue Jackets ... who don't have a NHL No. 1 Center.

Can do some things, ultimately outclassed at the end.

If MLS teams can spend 30M a year ... how many will actually do it? Especially in the Northern markets, where there will be a hit to ticket sales?

Feels like the Crew need a real 3rd DP to get into the mix in the East.
