I’ve had the chance to pick the brains of 4 MLS head coaches about coaching, when I was a young coach coming up thinking about it as a career. 2 were exceptionally generous with their time and open and honest, 2 were kind of dicks. Guess which 2 are currently unemployed.

I know it's a late kickoff on a Thursday night but the Whitecaps ability to get people in the stadium for anything other than a weekend afternoon game is just absolutely brutal

Absolute joke of a finish, feel pretty good about thinking Dreyer would be excellent

I would bet a lot of money the Galaxy try to get off Reus for someone even remotely productive this summer

I am really coming away from this thinking the Galaxy are going to suck much more than San Diego look good, and that's probably unfair

Mikovic bro what are you doing

Personally rooting for this game to stay this boring and shatter the lowest total xG record (which I think is something like 0.3 xG total)

Think San Diego going to do a good job of being pretty unwatchable if they don’t add someone to turn this extremely sterile possession into anything useful

I think the single most impactful piece of wisdom fans/coaches/players/GMs should incorporate into how they watch soccer is that sometimes you play well enough to win and don’t, and sometimes you play bad and don’t win, and you should take the time to know the difference

Mate this DCU Korean lad in goal absolutely honks

Anyone who wrote a season prediction that had even one team in the East below Toronto FC should be disregarded as a serious analyst

Toronto FC are so good at soccer

Michael Oliver has jumped the shark. Enzo Fernandez running and McGinn blocks him off completely off the ball, foul on Enzo. Just make the calls you're supposed to.

Nice to see Jovie getting some time at a decent level. Trained with us in London for some time after getting released by TFC. Good kid.

Scottie absolutely selling on both ends lmao

LFGGGGGGG

Jordan Binnington I never doubted you

The stats are with us

Bennington is legitimately hot garbage

Don’t want to read too far into an obviously stupid game but Colorado being disciplined enough to midblock and defend compact instead of trying to press here is pretty surprising but bodes well for the future for me

Previews #7: @mattbarger.bsky.social evades Evander, and @paulharvey.theoutfield.nyc warns about Wilf, and asks do NYCFC need DPs anyways? www.americansocceranalysis.com/home/2025/2/17/2025-mls-season-previews-portland-charlotte-nycfc

Uhhhhhhhhhh why

Actively yelled don't shoot as LJ hit that

Mayra Ramirez is a joke. Win the game now.

A fun anecdote: I used to play soccer with Conor McDavid’s Grade 9 gym teacher. He allegedly couldn’t do 10 push ups or 1 pull up.
