Campeones Cup (MLS Cup vs. LigaMX winner) will be September 14 with NYCFC hosting Atlas/2022 Clausura winner at Yankee Stadium (I assume this will change at the last second and the Pigeons will have to play their home game in Maine or some poo poo).

also, begrudging congrats to the Sounders. throwing a load of money at a team then actually knowing how to make it work isn’t something that happens enough lately in this shithouse league

…on the bright side of things though I’m working with a friend who has a TV in the office so when euro footy is on we can watch it. hammering away at spreadsheets, hootin’ and hollerin’ at City shooting themselves in both feet and thighs yesterday was a bit of a treat so that’s a dece combo of being able to hate on paid company time.

Yeah baseball stadiums are poor venues for soccer for the same reason they were poor venues for NFL games when it wasn't the #1 sport in the USA: seating/viewing angles are weird.

The missing teams would be Austin, Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, Nashville, :rip: Miami 1.0 and :rip: Tampa Bay. I'd be down to see him get those 5 that he still can.

You can cross Nashville off the list. That also puts him tied for 4th all-time with Jaime Moreno at 133 and 1 behind Jeff Cunningham. Landon Donovan sits at 145, Wondo at 171.

Huge win for Austin over LAFC. Dumb penalty kept it from being an even more impressive shutout on the road.

Vancouver have no goalies right now, and the league got rid of the pool goalie when covid started.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
There actually was a pool goalie last year (Greg Ranjitsingh), but TFC signed him in the offseason and he doesn't appear to have been replaced. There was also a pool keeper in 2020 (2 apparently!), but Vancouver couldn't use one when everyone got injured at MLS Is Back because of paperwork relating to being a Canadian team, so Hasal started and they borrowed one of Montreal's backups IIRC.

(as an aside, there is a Wikipedia entry on the pool keepers and it's a rollercoaster ranging from Hey It's That Guy (Rowe, Konopka, and Stuver got their pro starts in the pool) to Literally Who? (half the names don't even have other entries!))

Anyway they've loaned in a CPL keeper for the weekend and also brought along Max Anchor, one of the teenage goalies from the surprisingly good Next Pro team - not sure which of the two will start but I suppose Vancouver's bizarre goalkeeping curse might launch another career tomorrow?

If Cropper and Boehmer aren't out of COVID protocols by then (which I suspect is what they're betting on), maybe they'll bring in Alexander from WFC2? He's on an amateur contract and probably wants to protect NCAA eligibility so won't sign with MLS for a league game, but maybe the CanChamp is less of a problem for that?

The best part is that Klein blew a DP slot on a player like Costa who has legs made of balsa wood and then he goes down injured for the Galaxy and we're supposed to act shocked.

This weekend's games will be the ones where all the teams wear the recycled plastic jerseys that's supposed to raise awareness about something you'll forget about after 2 seconds.



At least they're not "white" and "kinda grey" like some of the versions.
