The Best MLS Season Ever Thread (2016 obviously)

[HailtotheYo]

I don't know how the shit Barnetta wasn't in on the two run of play goals .. dude is great!

COL <----- is now unbeaten in 11 straight. 

Hints that Bologna/Fiorentina are after Zardes .... and the Galaxy have signed Jack McBean to the full squad.

 

 

[Meacon Keaton]

You know who was killing it? At least in the first half, before we became super complacent? Ken Tribbett. He was cleaning up like it was nobody's business. That first half was the best I've seen him play. 

[HailtotheYo]

Yeah, he's quickly making waves ... along with Rosenberry.  Pipeline is starting to produce ... also, I was impressed with Herbers as well.  I felt he was a great pick.

I'm going down in a few weeks for the Red Bulls game, and I can't wait. This team is definitely a year ahead of schedule; there's such a good young core of guys right now with Blake, Rosenberry, Tribbett, and the developing Tarp and Herbers. I really think with Stewart running the show, things can stay good for a while.

Stoked to see Alberg have such a huge game last night. He still has to work on his defensive skills, but he has the ability to step in and fill the void by Nogs' sudden departure. We are really going to miss what he brought to the team.

@Meacon, for the first time in five years, it feels good to be a Union fan!

Stewart coming on board is the single best acquisition that any club has made in the last 5yrs ... easily.

Stewart coming in and being the Sporting Director is far more significant and has more impact than a superstar playing a few seasons.

Oh, I was just kidding. I just love see Giovinco carve up defences.

It is a glorious sight .... I 100% agree.  I can't wait until he gets teammates 

[HailtotheYo]

Miami FC acquired Kwadwo Poku from NYCFC for 750K ... and Asprilla is being rumored out of Portland

[HailtotheYo]

CCL Schedule announced

CLB Crew reportedly after Jaime Ayovi ... he's a guy I wished would have been in the league before now but still has plenty left (28yr)

TFC has trouble in goal as Irwin is out 6-8 weeks

yeeeeeeaaah

I'm just glad NE bounced the damned Cosmos ...

[GoGo Yubari]

I'm not. More lower-league teams!

Happy with how the next round shapes up for Sounders, more or less. I think our odds are better against an LA who will only half-care about the USOC at best than Portland, who may be only slightly less garbage than we are this year but will still be motivated to beat us anyway. And it'll be good experience for Tyler Miller and Tony Alfaro, both of whom are shaping up to be in our upper echelon of draft picks.

[OctoberRaven]

To be fair Gogo, I'm glad too, Cosmos are basically the Yankees of NASL.

And we got Chicago next

[GoGo Yubari]

Oh, I don't want them to win in NASL. But bouncing MLS teams is good fun to me, especially the other NYC ones (not that I am salty about performances vs. New York teams lately, not at all). But then I don't have a dog in the NASL race at all, so.

[OctoberRaven]

I can agree with that.

Just not the Cosmos, and especially not the Rowdies.

[GoGo Yubari]

Oh, I forgot the Rowdies. Fuck the Rowdies.

I'm all for lower league teams ... just not the Cosmos.  I want them to die in a fire, twice.

Oh, and the TFC news gets better!

MLS Summer Window opened today ... and FC Dallas makes first signing by bringing in Aubrey David (DEF), T/T national ... seems a decent pick up (he's 6'2-6'3)
