Bring back Viernes de Fútbol, man. Two standalone MLS games every Friday night, one at 7:30 and one at 10.

From winning a playoff series without winning a game, to going on a Champions WH Visit without winning a championship, DSC stays in character
Is that Dayne St Clair next to him?
Brian calling Inter Miami “Miami FC” is becoming a great bit. He absolutely hates that team
It’s maybe okay when we play 1 game a week but we have two midweek games against a great team coming up so we need to rotate for these MLS games, or else we get more injuries
The problem now though is that Rothrock and Jordan and Pedro and Georgi are all injured so you have to play Arriola and Kalani on the wings, which means you have to play Alex at RB. You can move Snyder or Dotson there but then you’re thin at CM because we don’t have Leyva or JP or Obed anymore
Who also galavants around with autocrats in his spare time
And the way the squad is currently constructed, you are really asking for 2500 quality minutes.
Feels kind of like a Ruidiaz situation where we might be hanging on to a guy for too long. Brian mentioned starting succession planning for Yeimar recently but this needed to start at least a year ago if you ask me
I really don’t like how the Sounders are handling their CB situation at the moment. Trading RBW away means it’s more difficult to shift Alex there. Yeimar was not great last season, had two muscular injuries, and is turning 34. We cannot rely on 2000 quality minutes from him in 2026, let alone 2027
I feel like relying on a 36 year old Kim Kee-hee to be the backup for 33 year old Yeimar who had multiple muscular injuries last year is not an ideal plan
You don’t actually have to win anything to impress these people. As long as you have enough players, especially Americans, below the age of 24, you are a winner in their eyes
Seattle got about 2 minutes on soccerwise when they won last week, and national pundits almost never have anything to say about them except for “winning culture” slop. But they lose to RSL because the goalie stood on his head and now it’s a 16 minute segment about how we got “crushed” 😂
Sadly Forest will likely keep Spurs from going down. If Marinakis didn’t nuke his own team by firing Nuno it would’ve happened
If Rothrock is injured now too that’s probably curtains for our chances of finishing top 2 in the west tbh
The last two times we’ve had Tim Ford he’s been fine, which is possibly a record streak for him. We’re due for a major howler. Maybe it will go our way this time?
At this point more like a DC United signing
Cut away commercials during hydration breaks? Games unirocally gone
Tottenham getting relegated in the current era of the game would be Top 1 Funniest Moments in Football
Did the medical team perform surgery to move everybody’s hamstrings into their feet?
You can’t go into a CCC game with a 37 year old Kim Kee-hee playing his first minutes in months
Your CBs are all old so you have to play your RB at CB but your backup RBs all have to play winger over the next few weeks due to the Jordan and Pepo and Georgi injuries so you don’t have a backup RBs or a backup CB
Looking at the congestion we have coming up and the available players we have, I’m really quite annoyed that we let Reed Baker-Whiting go. The depth was a major point of strength of this team and we just let a bunch of players go
Really bummed to see Georgi get hurt right as he would have had an opportunity for some starts with the congestion coming up
They only won 6 away games together in all competitions!
4-2 at Chicago (3/16/19)
2-1 at Portland (8/23/19)
3-1 at LAFC (10/29/19)
3-0 at Portland (8/23/20)
2-0 at Vancouver (10/27/20)
1-0 at Houston (5/19/22)
Sounders fact of the day:
Jordan Morris, Nico Lodeiro, and Raul Ruidiaz started 24 home league games together. Seems lower than one would expect.
They only started 22 away games together across all competitions!
The Norwegian Cade Cowell!
Day two of Kristoffer Velde hate. Kristoffer Velde has played 1189 regular season minutes for the Portland Timbers and has recorded 2 goals and 2 assists
What a great goal from San Diego to make it 2-0. I’m sure everybody watching MLS Season Pass on Apple TV got to see that goal and thought the same thing when they saw that goal because they obviously showed the goal on the broadcast
I’m guessing that Penso thought that first penalty shout that went to VAR was more of a 50/50 coming together. But for me, Lukic is about to control the ball there and fails to do so because Raul Gustavo takes his legs out. Not really a 50/50, should have been a penalty
