Lots of games about to start off in the MLS.Come on in and support your team!
Todays games.
How Did MLS not sign Vozihna?
>>157133031He's a 40 year old playing in the Portuguese second divisionWhy the fuck would they sign him?Btw MLS already has a past meme WC keeper signing when the Union signed M'Bolhi after the 2014 WC and it's probably the worst signing in MLS history
>>157133088MLS is a retirement league
>>157133088He's still good. Probably will be for a couple of years. And wouldn't require a DP spot.
My team is going to get blown the fuck out tonight.
>>157133194No that's a really stupid ideaIt was stupid that the Fire replaced their striker with 37 year old LewandowskiA team that replaces their keeper with that guy is suicidal
>>157133031Oh was inter miami picking him up fake news?
Just now occurred to me that Robert Moses probably smiled in hell seeing Man City C build a stadium in queens
>>157133277Yea, he signed with a Chilean club
>>157133277Miami already have 3 bad goalkeepers they don't need a 4th
How do MLS fans deal with player transfers to better leagues? I liked Sebastian Berhalter on my Whitecaps and now he's gone for $2 million that doesn't really do anything to make the team better.
>>157132588Who’s the top 5 MLS players excluding Messi?
>>157133619My team is so shit so it's good they leave the sinking ship, but the latest one to leave just got a nasty tackle that drew blood during his first game back in Brazil.
>>157133031He’s unfortunately washed. He’d be a meme signing, but if anyone should sing him it should be New England, the stadium is less than 30 minutes from the biggest Cape Verdian population in the U.S.
>>157133619Is he Championship quality? Don't think so
>>157133721Is the 2nd tier English league really more respectable than North Americas biggest league?
>>157133868Yes
>>157133868They're about on equal footing, Championship has an edge in quality but MLS has more money
>>157133944MLS definitely does not have more money lmao
There's an ambulance on the field in the Miami game rn.
Good evening burgerbrosFUCK AustinThat is all
How did Atlanta fail so horribly?They can't sign anyone half decent and they can't even produce anyone in their academy
>>157133990He got brained during a header. Looked fucking dead desu..... kino....
>>157133990Woke pussies won't show a replay.
heh
chicago is tragic, ten sloppy retards and their uncle
>Freese can save when there’s nothing on the line
>>157132602Its crazy how the less financial resources Real Salt Lake have the better they get
>>157134194very common type of MLS team
time to watch the galaxy... yay.....
>>157134826humiliation ritual
Toronto fucking sucks.
>paintsillhow the fuck do you miss THAT
Son Heung Min has been cooking recently 3 goals consecutively now.
Back status?
I APOLOGIZE PAINTSILL YOU FUCKING GOAT
galaxy
>>157133721Aidan Morris is one of Middlesbrough's best players. It's not some big leap. Berhalter will be fine.
For me, it's Philadelphia
>>157133619Yeah he's worth more than that but he was leaving for free in a few months so something is better than nothing. Their fault for not being proactive.
>>157134978 More like rapeadelphia...
Worst keeper in the league?Remember when people wanted him to start for the national team? lel
>>157135002>coming in from cardiff cityman what a falloff, that penalty save against mexico really was the save of his life
>>157134951I say this
>>157134963Aidan Morris was younger and better
>>157133619>>157134963It's nice that they are back together
SKC are not actually this terrible, but the Laffs are really good.
hardly remember stanford stadium, got drunk on the bus and then they got us out of there pretty soon after
CUM ON SAN JOSESCORE SOME FUCKIN GOLS HUH
>>157132588How can you faggots actually like this? Performative?
Suarez racking up penalties while Messi sulks.
>>157135369Most of the best US prospects play in MLS, and you get to see some uncs get goals. MLS is fun if you have the right expectations.
MLS fans on reddit have stopped being insecure about not having pro/rel and now just say they don't want pro/rel. I don't think it's cope either. They just like the league with the parity it has and don't want LA and NYC to have 10 teams.
>>157135405if only reus was a couple years younger
Why don't MLS teams overspend on American players like Liga MX does for Mexicans?
I actually rather like the marching band drums in the MLS supporter crowds
>>157135461Agreed. It’s the one sovlfull thing that makes it fun to watch and participate it
>>157135457I was going to say Josh Sargent but he's in Toronto lmao
Everybody singM L SM L SWon't do regulation, just wants to be a retirement leagueOhhhhh thank goodness for the USL!The UuúuuuuúSLThe uuuuuuuuuuuuSL!!!
I'm sorry fellow lagfags, just tuned in and they score right away.
Another Battle of NorCal/who owns the Athletics derby in the books. Will Oakland pay their rent? Will they get kicked out of the coliseum? Who knows?>>157135523Based
well shit
>>157135523I want a USL team in the san gabriel valley
>>157135562Santa Barbara is your best bet, stupid fucking chink
Remember when Atlanta was supposed to be a world class club
I don't know why people think lower division soccer won't work. People go to random independent baseball league games.
>>157135570Orange County FC
>>157135598Atlanta spends money. They're just not smart.
>>157135423This country is too big and the interest level in soccer is too sparse to actually have soccer systems like other countries. It has to be targeted, otherwise it's just wasted moneyIt would take hundred of millions of dollars to get USL teams to MLS standards and right now they're struggling to get teams just to meet their simplier DI standardsIt's just not a feasible idea for the next 30-50 years at least. Stop looking at England where there's a hundred years of community support and a half billion dollar reward for making the PL. That's a fantasy for even most countries, let alone this one where soccer is 5th at best
>>157135607OC is already good. At least Santa Barbara is a brand new team
US Soccer needs to make some rule that Division 1 teams have to fund 5 academies each to get sanctioned. That would solve the pay to play stuff people complain about without having to build out a pyramid.
>>157135617The death of the club was when they became so shook they reshashed Almiron and then flailingly brought back Martino as coach. I hate Arthur Blank as much as a man who doesn't know another man can.
>>157135423The retards clamoring for promotion/relegation to “take it seriously” don’t actually know what they want. They say they want promotion/relegation, but most would refuse to support their local club if it got relegated and it would die because “local” in the USL usually still means 2 hours away unless it’s in a big city like New York/LA/Chicago.
>>157135704The alternative is having a 60 team first division
>>157135671MLS academies already have affiliate clubs. But also that's just 135 academies; MLS next has 602 registered academies in their system
>>157135714
>>157135562>san gabriel valleywhat goes on here
what time does messi play?
>>157135794We have lots of Asians, especially in places like Arcadia and Rosemead.
>>157135794Asian food
MLS Next Pro is a stupid name. It should just be NSL.
>>157135704I literally posted about my local club ITT though
Canadian teams should not be allowed in the MLS. Make your own league leafs.
come on bro
can't make this shit up man
>>157135715Yea, but MLS doesn't give any money to the affiliates. US soccer should make them subsidize them.
lmfao
gg quacks>mlels penalties
>>157135890That would get expensive for a bunch of players who won't end up anywhere
This was fine but the beckham california clasicos were choice.
How is Griezmann's english so bad when he's such an Ameriboo
>>157135369It's fun, and I can support my local team.
>>157135850That’s great but how many of your clubs casual supporters are going to stick around to keep it financially afloat if it got relegated to the league below?
>>157135369Ngl I'm only interested in the NT but supporting MLS will help that more than watching Liverpool or god forbid Wrexham
>>157135523MLS isn't a retirement league, objectively
>>157135995But they’re already playing in the league below
>>157135997>only interested in the NTi'm glad you guys have your own threads 2bh
>>157135998He says while Reus, griezman, lewa, messi, busquets, and El Rato play
Time to pound a couple soccer balls squeezed together. I'll be back after I clean off the lube and everything
>>157136017They just keep calling me doyleIt's hard for me to care about a team 300 miles away
Somebody look into the LA vs San Jose referee. What a joke. Galaxy got robbed of 3 points
>>157136159You’ll have plenty of time to do it on your ride home, bitchtits
>>157136171I've been to San Jose away 6 times and have yet to see you losers win a single time kek joke team never even seen your team win in HD
>>157136192And you got to see the Galaxy not win either. ;)
Oh >we lost again, imagine my fucking surpriseSAPUTO MAFIA
>>157136020There are a few older players but that's not what's driving the league.Pic related is from a couple years ago (the most recent year I could find data for) but still makes the point. If anything, there has probably been an increase in players just entering their prime in the last couple years (and academies are only getting better).
>>157136254You can't sell the league's leading scorer to sign a 37 year old
>>157136254>messi isn’t driving the leagueOk doyle
how is SKC this fucking bad
>thanks world we’ll take it from hereThe fact no one has mentioned how infantile and cringe that is tells you everything about MLS. You just know the marketing women were flicking each others beans over that.
>>157136898Everyone was mocking it after the inter miami own goal a few days ago
>>157136898MLS marketing team is fucking atrocious, they should fire whoever’s in charge of it
>>157136898Probably intentional cringe desu it's a ragebait kind of league
>>157137227MLS: So cringe it's kino
>>157136821Vermes will never pay for the damage he caused
>>157142768That's the problem with the "club legends". Yes, he was great for a long time and brought them hardware, but then eventually you can't get rid of them until way after it's too late.
Why isn't Messi playing? Did he hurt his bussy watching Spain celebrate?
>>157135859Why do we piss you off so much? We let you guys in our hockey league.
>>157146469Another sin of yours
>>157146469>ourHow much of the O6 is Canadian?
>>157135369For me it's because I can actually go to my local team's games and they have an awesome venue and are about to have an even more awesome venue in the futureToo bad now they went full retard and lost Cuypers... I don't know how to feel about Lewandowski yet but I loved Cuypers...
>>157148402MLS owners are retards
>>157150022jersey sales will always take precedence over winning games
Why doesn't San Francisco have a soccer team in either MLS or USL?
>>157150329they put their eggs in the NASL basket, lolalso, Oakland has a USL team and San Jose has an MLS team
>>157150329They were supposed to have a team in MLS Next Pro next year, although the timeliness for that seems hazy now
>>157148402Nice pic
>>157150208So stupid. Right after we finally made the playoffs again last year and it felt so good thinking we were backNow this shitThey can't be doing this with the new stadium on the horizon and new fans or returning fans to the Fire>>157151635I I want to go to more. Can get pretty tough to get there due to timing and schedules though
>>157150329San Francisco has SF Glens and SF city in USL 2. You can see their home schedule on the 7 bus line every may through June/July and they play at kezar stadium I think
I'm very disappointed with Atlanta United rn. This is a team that draws in 30-50k a game but their coach Tata Martino who is a fab coach can't replicate his past success with the team
What a boring league
Did we win?
>>157152020They just have a very shitty roster, especially given the money spent on it
>>157152020Fatlanta has literally never been good
>>157135859This post made me do some research into this bizarre phenomenon. At first I thought it was just a usual quirk of a closed system, but no this structure is okayed by CONCAF and FIFA. It turns out that you’re both to blame.The Canadian and American FA’s apparently asked for special permission to do this in an effort to prevent MLS dying like previous football leagues. So I guess in that light you should be happy to have the leafs there, I mean you invited them.
>>157134135looks like that one kid
>>157133868are you serious
>>157133868>>157153174To be clear: I've seen blunders in MLS that players in Serie C (Italy's third division) wouldn't be caught dead doing
>>157153197Maybe you guys should focus on making a world cup before commenting on our shit league
I noticed during the MLS games there's not much in terms of diving and time wasting compared to what we saw during the world cupIs it a mentality change compared to Europe or is there a rule change in the MLS that I don't know about?
I had a dream about MLS last night for some reason
>>157132588Tfw your favorite team is amongst the worst in the league in budget, assistance, viewership and wins, year after year...
>>157155426The red card controversy that happened in the Argentina-Switzerland game over the player flopping was funny because MLS refs are not shy about sending off players for flopping and then the league fines them afterwards
>>157155627Did he ever get the benefit from change the name from the Impact he wanted?
>>157155627>limp actThey shouldn't have changed the nameAlso, I now remember Marco Di VaioAnd Patrice BernierAnd Nacho Piatti
Paintsil should of had a hat trick at least a brace vs. the Smurfs
We call him Grizi
>>157154761Bro there's no way in hell you'd even entered the world cup if you weren't hosting, be quiet
>>157156243The US has played in 5 knockout games at the world cup since Italy has had one
>>157156292Wrong, 2. 2026 you qualified automatically dumbo
>>157156450Italy's last WC knockout game was the final in 0610 you finished 4th in a group with New Zealand; we played Ghana in the ro1614 you got grouped; we played Belgium in the ro1618 we both missed22 you missed; we played Netherlands in the ro1626 you missed; we played Bosnia and Belgium5 games to your 0Also we qualified in 22 so shut the fuck up Giuseppe
>>157155426I noticed that too. Unless it’s a very blatant foul the refs are lax and let the players play. As they should
Cavan Sullivan is starting to show that the hype is justified
>>157156911Before he goes to Man City to rot on their benchReally should ban young Americans from the EPL
Liking Atlanta United makes me contemplate suicide at least once a week. Usually after match day.
>>157156533Actually our last knockout game was in 2025 (nations league):^)
>>157132588I went to a game a couple days ago. It was cool. Not a bad way to spend a 100 bucks
Why are there 2 LA teams and which one has the most soul?
>>157157055I'm sure another overpriced flop from Europe will fix that
>>157157055>t.
>>157157129the laffs are newer and on paper more plastic but for some unexplainable reason I think they have more soul
>>157157055Good.
>>157155898Every good French speaker knows his real nickname is Grizou
>>157155695>tfw we once had Didier Drogba, Nacho Piatti and Patrice Bernier on the same attackhttps://youtu.be/Js_UNOUEVRM?si=3_NHqeCXv1_v45kGkms
>>157157294Never understood why the voice of US soccer is fucking Canadian
>>157157294What a time to be alive
>>157157294Couldn't even name a current Montreal player without looking up their roster
Which MLS team should I support, bros? Right now I'm leaning towards the Seattle Sounders for the exact reason you think.
>>157157428Prince Owusu is pretty good, he doesn't deserve to be on that god-forsaken roster imo
>>157157450What's your local team?
>>157157482I'm not telling you but they were fairly recently relegated from league football altogether. Regardless, I have already made my decision, and I am now a lifelong supporter of Minnesota United. Furthermore >WE are going to win the whole MLS this year.
Does your team have a player called Bongo-cool Longwayne, anon? I somehow doubt it.
>>157132588>watch on Apple TVThis deal is so stupid. If they actually wanted to grow they would stream the matches for free on Youtube and Twitch
>Best goalkeeper Hugo Lloris (10 clean sheets)I burst out laughing upon reading this stat. When he left he was the worst goalkeeper in the Premier League. Boy, I cannot wait to feast upon MLS kino.
>>157157689Where would they get the money then to keep the club afloat?
>>157135922All my favourite Spurs rejects washing up on the shores of the grand MLS. Ya love to see it.>>157135704It's still cool that the USL exists at all. I'm not saying I want it, but the structure is already there for a US soccer pyramid.
>>157157715He's only 25th in savesLaffs are just decent defensively
>>157157124nice seats lad
>>157157761Who's the best? Freese? Which would explain why he was chosen for team USA and also at the same is extremely grim.
>>157157858Idk maybe Matt Turner lol
Toronto is suffering.
>>157157507J U S T
>>157157715>>157157858Freese and Turner are a good shotstoppers but not good keepers.The best keeper in MLS is and will always be Andre Blake.
>>157158089We're on a strong upswing, baby. We just held those evil bastards Vancouver Whitecaps to a standstill at the Stade de Allianz. Things are coming up Minnesota. This is our year.
Surely the Supporters Shield is the actual winner of the MLS, and the strange pygmy cup thing grafted on to the end of the league is some irrelevant distraction
>>157158215MLS doesn't have balanced schedules
>>157158215I agree
I am also learning that goal difference means nothing in the MLS and then number of wins has a higher precedence for breaking ties. It feels like fantasy land.
>>157158319It screwed >us out of a shield (and home field advantage in a cup final that >we might not have choked away if we had)
>>157158357Fucking outrageous that Montreal had that many points not too long ago
>>157158357>>157158319I think that feels more fair when GD can easily be statpadded against a shit team. I mean wins can too but not as easily as GD.
>>157158416I like the idea actually because it would completely neuter Artetaball and other cowardly 1-point merchant managers
Hello, when promotion/relegation?
>>157158517Not in your lifetime
>>157157777thanks. you get lucky sometimes. Good tickets can be cheap
>>157157726most their revenue is from tickets and matchday revenue. the tv deal with apple is like 10%
>>157159392Ask your local business what happens if they have their revenues cut by 10%
>>157158517In a couple of years, keep your eyes on the USL in the meantime.
The USL is just a meme here, right?
Chicharito is signing with Atlético Dallas, a new USL Championship side that will play at the Cotton Bowl beginning next year.
>>157158089I was there when the playoff run (start?) ended for mini soda in 2019. Ended up drinking too much on the lags credit card afterwards. We got bounced the following game.
>>157159471for now
>>157159797How much better is the USL compared to the Canadian Premier League? Like would the worst USL team still stomp the best CPL team?
>>157159490why the name is in spanish instead of dallas athletic?
for me, it's indy eleven
>>157160028I would say they're about equal? Maybe give an edge to USL in terms of overall quality but also an edge to CPL in terms of domestic youth development
>european guy comes to retire in mls>says young prospect should go to europelol. lmao.
>>157160360many such cases
Many years ago, the stereotype was that they didn't really use tactics in the MLS and the teams just attacked back and forth all the time, like in handball.
>>157132588How long until we see MLS ultras with pyrotechnics?
>>157160360Ellis seems pretty good, I don't think he's wrong
>>157160771Officially pyrotechnics are banned but they still happenThis one happened during the previous El Trafico derby between Galaxy and LAFC
>>157159471It will always be a meme until it gets more money pumped into it. Otherwise it will never be even high school sports level
>>157160028I can't say that I've seen a lot of CPL, but what I have seen is definitely below USL-level.
>>157160733MLS does have tactical coaching the problem is that it slips too tactics free zone too easily particularly on hot summer nights

>>157162001damn how old is that pic?
>>157150329I don't know why the Earthquakes are branded as San Jose instead of San Francisco, it's not like the 49ers play in San Francisco too.
>>157157178their color scheme is nice
>>157162111Probably because they play in San Jose, moron

>>157132588SDFC trying their hardest to turn an dominant performance into a loss in those last 4 minutes with that pass
>>157162274If I got to the MLS site to buy tickets for my local team it’s 25$ for tickets in the supporters section and 27$ for the same USL team in a shittier stadium with worse atmosphere. Granted my team doesn’t have any superstars like Messi hiking up prices but it’s either the same or slightly more/less so the economic incentive isn’t there.
>>157162337Post ticket prices
>>157162130Yeah but they go from being a big market team representing SF and potentially all of NorCal to being some small team representing a third of the bay. Location doesn't matter as long as it's close enough/being in the same metropolitan area, this is why New York Red Bulls are not called New Jersey Red Bulls, NY is a bigger market and they're in the NYC area.
>>157162356There’s also nowhere to put it in SF, and the candlestick area was demolished
>>157162356They should be the New Jersey Red Bulls
>>157160914Good to see. A hard core of fans can bring an atmosphere to games that are like nothing else.
>>157160914Why does LA have two MLS clubs anyway?
>>157162337I am seeing 27 for mls vs 18 bucks for usl. The USL team is about 30 miles further away too.
>>157162383Money, Chicanos and latinXbucks, and money
>>157162385>9 dollars less for a much lower quality experience Grim.
>>157162393>its cheaper even though I said it cost more>b-but it’s only $9 lessPost those ticket prices, fagotron
>>157162383LA has two teams in every other sport, plus we used to have Chivas USA in the same stadium as the Galaxy. Chivas folded and LAFC came along a few years later.
>>157162564Anaheim isn’t LA
>>157160338NM United for me.
Sports fans are jesters. But what team does the South Korean GOAT Son Heung-min play for?
>>157163925Chivas usa
>>157163925Ol' Sonny plays for LAFC
>>157162274They're pretty similar for meNew england revolution Vs Houston Dynamo - $25Rhode Island FC Vs Colorado Springs Switchbacks - $26 for a seat or $17 for standing room onlyBut the revolution tickets are second hand market they would be more expensive if you buy from the box office.
>>157162564>>157163927>Chivas USALMAO what a shitshow
>>157162107I made it in 2022Here's the oldest file I have saved in my /mls/ folder, from 2015
Huge loss for the MLS. The hierarchy of American soccer is changing. https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/2081780318130905169
bumping this relevant general
>>157164965since we are sharing this is my oldest file, saved it in 2015 as well.
>>157168218I miss the old /mls/, when threads could actually survive and there was good banter
Where are the games I'm going doopin mental
>>157168384Skill challenge tonightAll-star game tomorrow
>>157165054>a nearly 40 year old Mexican who hadn't played in 2 years The bigger thing is San Diego FC, their 150 mil training facility and academy, and the fact they are the only MLS club who can directly recruit from Mexico
For anyone that cares the USA U20s are playing lel salvador on FS2
How did we get a basque guy?
>4 penalties in 2 games
two pens two goals
>>157150208>jersey sales will always take precedenceWhen it comes to MLS jerseys, I've only ever seen pink Messi 10 jerseys around here ever
>>157171224In my neck of the woods you see LA Galaxy and LAFC jerseys regularly. Soccer is pretty popular in SoCal and El Trafico has the attendance record for MLS
>>157171280I am in that picture. It was a good game.
>el trafficoThe pinnacle of soulless and cringe
>>157171850well it is still ours and it is still ongoing, maybe in the future it won't be as soulless and cringe (it won't)
>>157171850It could have been LA Clasico which is far worseAt least El Trafico is funny and references a key characteristic of Los Angeles
>>157171280Yeah, I guess all interest in soccer in Miami is Messi and that's it
>>157172998The Cali Clasico was already a thing (since 1996)
