PBP: MLS 2018 Week 2 Continuous PBP [Multiple R]

How will New Chivas disappoint me this week?

(I noticed crazypete13 was stealing sitruc's schtick, so why shouldn't I steal knave's?)

 

Relive week 1. This is very nicely done. I stumbled across it on twitter. I don't see it anywhere on the league website. This is something they should promote, no?

 

Bummed there's no late game, but I guess that means I'll be watching the Minnesota High School Boys Hockey Championship game instead...

 

At least get it right: Chivas USC.

 

I think there's a weekend review article on mon with that vid linked.

I'm curious to see if that vid is made for European TV, based upon the commentaries pulled from Sky on the vids.

 

I need the original..

 

Week 2? You mean Week 1. This is the first game of the season and all.

 

33 weeks left of this BS.


I **** you all.

 

Why only 9 games this weekend?

 

I'm going to have to report this post for inappropriate language.

******** MLS. ******** the quickly dying BS.

 

The mullet olympics are awesome.

 

Philly only gets a winning record like once or twice per decade. Give them another week to savor it.

 

Get hype.

 

10 games down, 381 plus 17 playoff games to go.

Here are the all-time records after week 1, including playoffs. Any game that was settled by shootout (run-up or kicks from the mark) is recorded as a draw. PPG is just a convenient way to sort the teams by record since obviously no points are awarded in the playoffs.
