Excited to see Nemeth back in the league.

Feel like something has to give in that NE attack though... too many starter quality players vying for too few spots it feels like.

Kamara's definitely on the way out.

 

[Meier]

Powers is a solid player and Gil has been atrocious so I'm quite pleased with that deal.

LA Times: Players from Mexican national team ignore their coach, join MLS

A lot of people down south are not happy:

This gets some extra flavor with the Rafa Marquez news.

3 in the back and go all out attack!

To be a fly on the sports desk of a major Mexican newspaper right now...

Their loss is our gain.

Both for the league and for USMNT.

Saw someone post this on Reddit i.e. how Mexican fans were reacting to the Vela move and I was dying.

SBNation: USMNT Climbs Nine Spots in August FIFA Rankings

The United States Men’s National Team moved up nine spots, from 35th to 26th, in the latest FIFA Rankings. The USMNT’s large leap was a result of the team’s 2017 Gold Cup campaign, which it saw it go undefeated and lift the trophy.

EA's FIFA studio is based near Vancouver and yet there's only one Whitecap (Tim Parker). SMH.

They look pretty good for the most part though.

 

[Dr Campino]

Those are awesome. Between that and the MLS Live match branding, I'm considering getting this. I barely play anything anymore but that would be awesome.

The story mode's also pretty good. I'm still more of a FM guy though.

I mean, these aren't officially released yet. I wouldn't be surprised at all if there are way more teams that we just haven't seen. For example, of all the Timbers that they scanned, why wouldn't Nagbe be in there? I guess maybe he could potentially not be due to the fact that he was away on Gold Cup duty when we played Vancouver? I think Mattocks and Guzman were also away for that game, so... that logic doesn't make sense. There's gotta be more than what's in that thread.

I'm getting it for sure. Mostly because I love the story mode. The first story mode was excellent. I highly recommend trying it if you haven't yet.

WaPo: MLS’s boldest roster shake-up could happen only after D.C. United stadium became reality

“In the past, two or three times a year, we would have board meetings, and it was always about when we get into the new building, there’s going to be a real level of investment into players,” Kasper said. “They said, ‘We’re here now.’ ”

 

[Icolin]

Hope Hagglund's okay.

 

[Icolin]

What a tackle from Vytas.

What a tackle from Vytas.

For real. This game is wild. First twenty minutes were all Toronto, then we settled in and it's been a bit more even. Good game so far. Really hoping we get out of Toronto with a point.

 

[zroid]

❤ morrow

 

[Icolin]

Vazquez should've scored there.

 

[Dartastic]

Felt that one coming. I feel like we can pull one back though. This game is excellent.

 

[zroid]

timbers are well in this still. could go either way.

Spoiler

jozy plz

edit: I have bad timing

 

[Icolin]

Beautifully worked goal.

 

[zroid]

how the fuck

oh damn the defender tipped it to morrow

 

[ZZMitch]

holy shit that 3rd goal

 

[Dartastic]

This is so Timbers.

TFC is on FIRE.

4-1 👀👀👀

 

[Dartastic]

Welp. *shrugs*

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Just had to give up that 1 goal.

 

[Icolin]

FFS TSN with the commentary that's 8 seconds behind the play, and the constant inexplicable camera switching during the run of play. Get your shit together.

 

[Cornballer]

Quakes could really use a point tonight in Houston but I'm not sure they'll have much of a chance in the heat after the OT game on Wednesday. At least Leitch rotated a few people.

 

[sazabirules]

Don't think DC/RSL will continue. The area is gong through monsoon like weather.

Great game, and a good showing by Portland, both on the field and in the stands. I love seeing away support, and Portland is my non-Toronto team anyway.

Would've been hilarious to see Morrow get a hat trick, and Seba is an assist god.

Now just rooting for a Chicago/Columbus draw, and an LA win over NYC.

Fucking hilarious red card. No fun allowed for Kaka.

Easy to be a TFC season ticket holder this season. Wowzers

 

[Dr Campino]

Man, can ESPN please find a new source of audio for Stubhub? It's brutal listening to these like dozen LA supporters sing their awfully uninspired songs.

This performance from Johnson reminds of that night he stood on his head in Philly a few seasons back

I'm a RBNY fan and even I agree it's crap. You could actually see Colin argue against it with the rest of the Orlando players.

 

[envi123]

Regardless of Big Johnson's performance, Bentdik will still win SOTW.

 

[Icolin]

Marcelo Sarvas is rubbish. Awful giveaway to Silva who scored beautifully. 1-0 for RSL.

Sort of a random question but do we know what the nets look like in Atlanta's new stadium? Was curious if they're styled after more traditional nets rather than what they had at Bobby Dodd

Looks like they'll be having the more traditional ones, along with 5-stripe nets:

Just got an email about TFC II, they're moving downtown next year (from Vaughan, a pain in the ass to get to from anywhere). Playing at BMO and/or Lamport Stadium down the road, though the email specified that no stadium was final.

It's a good move, and certainly won't hurt attendance.

Nice. Hopefully more of these MLS2 teams in USL relocate like Sounders 2 and TFCII have. The Whitecaps FC2 games are fun, but the attendance is piss poor.

 

[Chris R]

Still pissed off about the Timbers moving Sunday's game up to Friday

Oh well, just going to find other fun stuff to do in the greater Portland area on Sunday night

Though in TFC II's case, it's closer to home instead of in another city.
