    Miami is in a bad way. They look toothless (we won't count th goals the Quakes conceded), their GK is playing like crap - let a ball go thru his legs, etc. Orlando probably should have had 2 more goals on point blank attempts.

    And their backup GK to Ustari is going to be Will Yarbrough?

    He's going to be the answer?

    "Where have you gone, William Yarbrough?"
    "Our superteam turns its lonely eyes to you"
    "Woo woo woo"

    Miami looked incredibly slow and very old while Orlando kept coming up field in droves.

    Their defense was also horrid.

    Maybe its an old cliche but when I see 3 players at 38 and 2 others at 36 and 37, regardless of who they are, I don't know how age can't be a factor.

    Oscar Ustari age 38

    Luis Suárez 38

    Lionel Messi will be 38 in 2 weeks

    Jordi Alba 36

    Sergio Busquets 37 in 2 months

    It’s one thing to have 1 or 2 players that age on the field but 5 seems excessive.

    Sooner or later , when you have than many players playing at an advanced age , it has to take its toll in any league.

    I’m thinking back many years and I’ve never seen a team field this many overaged players in one game.

    Maybe one or two who were over 35 but never 5.

    And Jebo comes on for FC...along with Paintsil for the Gals. And relentless FC fan announcers.

    They did it twice. Not always and not this year at all.

    & another almost 36 year old in Marco Reus came though in the 87th minute with a killer free kick for the Gals to tie it up.ñ!

    I know some people (including LAG GM Will Kuntz) think the league "needs to have" "super teams" ("waah, we should get to be a super team, stop beating us!"). I've felt for some time now that MLS is just about right in terms of the balance between parity and "super". If teams are smart they can be good year in and year out, but then a team like Vancouver can suddenly emerge with lots of smart signings and management and rise to the top of the league in the course of one year. How great is that? And a team like Miami with the GOAT and several other legendary players can suddenly struggle against teams with a fraction of the payroll. They don't get a free pass, they're gonna have to earn it. How great is that?

    So many teams, so many different approaches to the game and the roster development. It makes it a very interesting league, and to try to emulate a league of extreme haves and have-nots just because we are so desperate to be Premier League Lite is not something the league should aspire to IMO.

    I feel like we're part of that championship, given that they're our "partner club" :).

    Hard to believe both ManU and Tottenham are barely above the relegation zone. My hubby has been scoping out teams that Leeds could beat next season, in order to stay in the EPL. And he thinks those 2 teams, particularly ManU, are relegatable (my new word?).

    The last six promoted teams have not only gone straight back down the next season, but many were historically bad, and for example this season it was all but over with like 1/3 of the games still remaining... So sure bet on ManU and Tottenham two clubs with tons of money to break that streak by getting relegated lol But are a lot closer to 13th Everton than to 18th.

    The gap between the Premier League and Champo is so big at this point that pro/rel barely even matters, there are essentially 17 Premier League clubs and a rotating group of 3 Champo clubs to serve as cannon fodder.

    Yes, i know that’s the prevailing story. That’s why hubby is conjuring up ways for Leeds to beat it.

    Need to spend like the big clubs, or be good at player acquisitions like Brighton, or organized and well-coached like Brentford, Bournemouth, and Fulham.

    But the promoted clubs (even Leeds) are far more constrained in how much they're allowed to spend, as opposed to huge clubs with far more revenue like Man United and Spurs!
    It's the opposite of a salary cap and so has the opposite effect.

    Clownish defensive clearance in 95th minute leads to 2-1 loss for still winless Galaxy in San Diego.

    If it were any other team, I'd feel bad that they haven't won a game yet but as it is the Gals, I'm smiling..

    Yeah, and I don't think we can just blame it on "no shade in the upper deck". It's more like no brain cells (or insufficient brain cells) in the "upper deck" of some of the fans (of either team).
