World Soccer XXX: We Have Men Too!

There are two things extremely wrong about this Tweet by Timbers owner Merritt Paulson.

1. He’s absolutely right.

2. I actually agree with him.

I know it happens with every sports league but d- it’s annoying. “LAFC is so great everyone! It’s a total shock they’re losing to the team that’s won the Western Conference three out of the last four seasons and MLS Cup twice in those four!”

Dell Loy Hansen - the name writes its own crackpot stories. Seriously the name evokes: a Presidential assassin, a serial killer, or a good 'ol boy with a white hood in the closet.

I mean, it’s likely two out of three at worst depending on who’s president...

The worse action in all this? Refusing to pay royalties for the second best goal song in MLS.

CONCACAF Gold Cup details announced.

Good News: There will actually be a random draw and the knockout round will involve group crossover for once.

Bad News: Qatar as an invited guest. I’m sure the other CONCACAF nations were upset and the dispute was handled in the traditional CONCACAF manner of envelopes of cash.

Last night Portland's Diego Valeri became the third player in MLS history to both score and assist on 80 goals. Landon Donovan and Jaime Moreno each played 340 games; Valeri did it in 219 games.

20 minutes into Seattle v San Jose, Seattle has 4 shots on goal and leads 4-0.

When people are looking up “what’s the biggest margin of victory in an MLS game” 20 minutes you done f’d up. (It’s 7 BTW)

[Jimjamesak]

Five for Seattle at the half. It's now 7-0 with 30 minutes to go.

It’s funny watching the PL refs now having to do VAR the way it’s actually supposed to be done and they still look dumb.

Newcastle actually won yesterday. I am pleasantly surprised.

Hey Amber,

mookie took a screenshot of the table!!!

2nd place!!!

[Jimjamesak]

Portland could only put six past San Jose. Typical.

(The Earthquakes are awful)

FiveThirtyEight sucks at predicting MLS.

Yes, that is 9th place in the West and currently out of a playoff spot LAFC with the highest odds to win to MLS Cup.

Columbus leads the Shield standings and has a +16 GD and only 4 GA, less chance to win.

Meanwhile, Seattle leads the West with a game in hand and also a +16 GA and has less chance of statistically making the playoffs.

FiveThirtyEight’s model is great for Top 5 Euro leagues, absolutely sucks everywhere else.
