Yeah they did the same last season as well. If the rumor is true that after the World Cup they intend to slide closer to the international calendar, then maybe we won't have have many issues soon. To be traded for the issues of Playing in Minnesota, Chicago, Montreal and Toronto in January/February......
I saw that and thought he looked like an annoyed donkey trying to perform a back kick. Which I guess is apt.
Loved that game. Don't know if I've ever seen a team come back from the dead quite like that, multiple times.
Made me a Minnesota fan for this playoffs. They go down 2 early goals to Seattle. Get one back and then one of their players loses his cool for 2 seconds and headbutts, Ferreira makes a meal out of it (as he should) and now Minnesota is playing a man down and a goal down for over 60 minutes. And somehow they manage to score 2 goals in the second half to take a 3-2 lead, only to see Seattle throw numbers forward and tie it up just as they enter stoppage time. Barely hold on to keep it 3-3 and send it to PKs, but not before Seattle subs in their backup keeper, Andrew Thomas, as the PK "specialist"..... And then we go 10 kicks deep - and every time Minnesota fails to convert a PK, Dane St. Clair would step up or the woodwork would save the day and prevent Seattle from winning. On the 10th round, St. Clair takes the kick and scores. And then Thomas steps up -- and clangs it off the crossbar. Minnesota wins. I was exhausted and I wasn't even a fan of either team - can't imagine what they were going through.
I know you guys don’t like Miami but if you don’t like Messi you don’t like futbol. This is old I think but I just came across it. This guy is an alien. No human could see and pull this off: This angle of Messi's pass🤯 bro watch this pass again then you’ll understand why nobody comes close to Messi pic.twitter.com/KrDdijk5fp— Stevemiles💙❤️ (@iam_stevemiles) November 8, 2025
Oh as a footballer he's the best of all time. I just don't like that he's an entitled brat. But that's as much the fault of his handlers and how he's been coddled his whole life.
I like Miami. Rooting for them and Vancouver. this years playoffs are like the opposite of last years. Pretty much all the higher seeded teams have advanced. Last year we were pretty much the only top seed to advance.
I still dislike Miami and will be rooting for Cincinnati in the east. In the west, I agree about Vancouver.
So does anyone know why Riqui is posting Instagram videos of his training with captions that say “I’m back“ and yet he’s definitely not playing in the friendly this weekend?
I'm gonna go: Cincinnati Philly Minnesota Vancouver Just because I prefer those east coast teams versus seeing any of our west coat rivals getting a cup. But all of those would be first time winners and for the most part I like what they are doing and how they play.
Anyone but Miami and LAFC. The fighting by Miami (Suarez) to end the season really bugged me. Fair point on the other West Coast teams.
We know that LAFC doesn't typically draw shit outside of its tiny stadium but adding Messi to the mix and they'll probably draw pretty well for an opener at the Coliseum.
LA Galaxy | MLSSoccer.com Here is the Galaxy schedule. Lots of busy 3 matches in 7-8 days stretches. We'll need some depth. Sad to see that the 4th of July tradition is officially dead. None this year due to World Cup. None in future due to schedule change.
dang, no Nashville or Chicago game and Charlotte in LA (closest viable games to me) oh well and it seems like there are 13 games that are going to start past 9:30pm for us in the central and east time zones, which is rough but doable.
https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_...ck-rooney-rule-alters-hiring-policies-sources I had no idea this was an MLS rule, I figured with soccer being a global sport, teams hired the best regardless of cultural background and not as closed off like the good old boys in the NFL.
And you should be right about this, but I think that the powers that be in MLS aren't necessarily different from those in the NFL. To be fair, they may just be political cowards and getting rid of the policy before they become targets.
now that you mention it, and I didn't take into consideraton, there is quite a bit of NFL crossover, with some current and former MLS owners the Hunt Family, Kraft Family, David Tepper, Zygi Wilf, Arthur Blank, Stan Kroenke and a couple of the dregs of MLB FJF in San Jose and the Pohlad's in Minnesota and not to mention AEG, and they all seem to lean a political way where they don't want to be targets and get cutoff from the honeypot. the only positives I can think of and I hope it does become a positive is that non traditional rich people are getting into the game, Steve Nash, Giannis and his brothers, Derrick Henry, Filip Forsberg, Ken Griffey Jr plus the whole hodgepodge of people at LAFC, they will either steer the ownership mindset to be bold and try different things or they will fall in line so they can be one of the good old boys, time will tell I guess. I will make an observation, which may be off base but Mark Walters and Steve Cohen, seem to be the outliers where they try to straddle the line in being fan friendly owners who spend the money to want to win and still having a seat at the table with the other ghouls
Delgado’s last kick as an LAFC player was skying a pk. Well done son! let’s bring him home. I think his contract is expired.
Well I agree with your sentiment and would love to have him back, he unfortunately signed a 3-year contract with lafc and is under contract until the end of 2028 (whenever that is).
