I’m pretty stoked for it honestly. Love a bit of snow ball, and it can’t be worse than the US - Honduras game last year when our beers were literally turning to slush in our hands.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but are full replays supposed to be available for every game with the MLS season pass? I can only get the recap for the Crew v Red Bulls game. I can get full replays of other games. Otherwise I really like this and I hope they keep it next season.

I ran into the same thing with the Atlanta game yesterday. All I could find was the recap.

The recap is the default video. Depending on what you are using to access MLS Season Pass, if you go to the club area and select the match you want to watch, you can scroll to the bottom of the page where there is something that says "Hold button for video options" that you pick and select the option from Recap, 90 Min English, 90 Min Spanish or 90 Min French if a Canadian club is involved.

Don't worry OP, the only thing dumb about your question is Apple's UI. What Hekk said is correct, but I'll add this:

It's pretty much impossible to get to the full game replay and avoid any sort of spoilers, between scores being listed for each game (which can be turned off, but is an independent setting for each device and not at all possible if you're using a browser) and having to scroll past the list of highlights to get to it.

Did I mention Apple's UI is loving dumb?

It's mind boggling how they didn't think about this with the implementation. It's some real bad understanding of how people watch sports, with replays especially.

On the other hand it fully spoiled the Austin game so I don't have to watch it now.

It took me a hot minute to find it at first as well, the UI isn't the most obvious. If you're on the website, push this button and it'll pop up the options for watching.

I've been watching this the last couple of years and been banging the drum about how good it is for MLS in the medium term but this is pretty stark:

quote:

Since 2021, MLS is the league that has spent the most on transfer fees in the Americas, according to analysis by AFP on transfer reports provided by world football's governing body FIFA.

In 2021, MLS spent $159.9 million on transfers: three times more than Brazil, five times more than Mexico and 11 times more than Argentina.

The next year, when the other three leagues were recovering from the pandemic, they still outspent the Argentine and Mexican leagues by more than two-to-one and the Brazilian league by 1.6-to-one.

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.

All this happening the week before a home Trafico with the fanbase in open revolt, LAFC as defending champions and bodying teams left and right, and no other games that day so we can all watch?

I'm there too. I was happy to give him a shot this season based off the strong end to last season, but this is just ridiculous, it's obvious the players look uninspired, and whatever we're trying tactically isn't working

I'm attending my first ever MLS game in Frisco on Saturday. Never watched an MLS game on TV either.

So far Dallas seems to be doing well this season. Why are you so pessimistic about them?

Shinjobi has been following the Hoops for more than one season, and, like all of us, knows that they'll collapse like a house of cards by the end of the season. This is not his first rodeo.

Just watching your team lose a Cup to an OG in ET would be enough to warrant a lifetime of pessimism, nevermind all of Dallas' other lowlights and choke jobs.

Friend, nothing would warm my heart more than to see you hop aboard for the season and for FC Dallas to finally deliver what they've been unable to for its entirety. I would happily eat that crow, with a big thumbs up and a smile.

As it is, the best season they had they won the Open Cup, the Supporters Shield, then sold one of their key pieces across the pond before the playoffs started and then they fell apart to injury, eliminated in relatively short order. Some years before that they made it to the MLS Cup and lost on an own goal, not even an hour after the Rangers lost the World Series.

FC Dallas can be absolutely masterful at letting you down--you never know what flavor you're in for. This is a backhanded compliment from me.

So I've never really followed MLS before this year but now that St. Louis has a team I've watched every minute and have been loving it.

For those of you who know the league well, how legit are we? I know we got poo poo canned by Seattle but we also have now beat two teams that have beat Seattle. Realistically though are we maybe slightly better than middle of the pack-ish? I just don't have knowledge on the league overall yet.

Too early to say. Early success might have just been because no one knew how to prepare for them, but it also could be that they are actually good. The upcoming games in May against Dallas and LA2 should show a bit more, and then of course we'll see how well gegenpressing works as the heat and humidity of a midwest summer shows up.

Definitely true, summers in St. Louis are miserable with the heat/humidity.

I love the look of the team with Stroud/Lowen/Alm are all on the field, they control the middle a lot better it feels. Seattle really seemed to force us to the outside, and I think our wings (?) are a weak point.

The precisely one way in which we will be lucky this year.

I thought this year has a new gimmick: that rather than using recycled plastic the ugly uniforms will instead be entirely plastic free?
