The Best MLS Season Ever Thread (2016 obviously)

[Hobo]

This makes my half-assed Whitecaps fan self sad.

Tim Howard is joining Colorado.

Holy shit @Meacon, we won again!! What is this madness!?

[Meacon Keaton]

We didn't just win. We completely dominated today. Granted, New England likely isn't gonna be anything special this year, but I don't recall a single dominating performance from last year (or maybe even the year before?) so I'll enjoy this one.

Seattle is the only team without a point this season.  SKansas City is the only undefeated team left, and Feilhaber hasn't even been in the 18 yet.

Houston has scored 11 goals in the first 3 matches ... but have given up 7.

In NASL news, apparently our 2nd division Tampa Bay Rowdies have offered Joe Cole a deal (he's been to Tampa during this preseason):  http://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/2834955/tampa-bay-rowdies-offer-joe-cole-deal-source

 

Also, the Cosmos signed Niko Kranjcar ...

What is the league structure like in the NASL? Such a weird system you guys have.

Here it is considered "minor league" but admittedly it has a much higher level of play and player than our other 'minor leagues' in other sports here.

The NASL is our 2nd division.  They play a wonky split "spring" and "fall" schedule sort of like our Mexican and some of our South American neighbors.  The Spring and Fall champions are joined by the other two clubs with the best overall record in the playoffs to determine the champion.

Ronaldo (now fat one time greatest player on Earth) is part owner of one of the clubs while Paul Dalglish (Yes, Kenny's son) and Alessandro Nesta are the managers of two of the clubs.

Other players in the NASL:

Adam Eckersley, Kleberson, Gorka Larrea, Wilson Palacios, Dario Cvitanich, Ibson, Jairo Arrieta, Juan Arango, Julian de Guzman, Marcel de Jong, Georgios Samaras, Derek Boateng, and Neill Collins.

Good enough for a Barrett/Neagle replacement. Midfield DP is the priority, of course, but there's still no real rumors beyond our scouts being in Chile and France last week.

Honestly, I feel that he's still got plenty to offer but at the very least should be a like for like with either of them.

SA made the MLS front page in this FANTASTIC article about what's been going on here!!!!

[HailtotheYo]

This has to be a typo ... yeah?

[Meacon Keaton]

Nope! We looked darn good yesterday against NYCFC. First game I got out to this season.

[HailtotheYo]

Your mid looks really good right now, and that Blake guy is pretty decent too.

11th hour deal sends Kamara to NE Revs.

I think that's a fantastic deal for them.
