Lots of speculation TFC would rotate most of their players tonight. But apart from Giovinco and Altidore, it's pretty much a first XI. Vazquez and Ricketts up front, Osorio slots in as an attacking midfielder, Hasler starts in place of Beitashour. Have to think Montreal losing played a role here: Impact will have effectively nothing to play for on Wednesday so we can rest some players mid-week. Prediction: TFC 2-1 LAG

Attendance today was 70,000, apparently. Atlanta have had a fantastic first season. Great addition to the league.
Ricketts. Vazquez. 4-0. On pace for 73 points.Last edited by Anton Gramscescu; 17-09-2017, 04:31.

NASL has sued the USSF over whatever happens to have come through its collective mind at the moment, and the quotes from today's press conference are amazing in all sorts of bizarre ways.
Philly turned down European offers for Roland Alberg.
Portland Thorns lose Nadia Nadim to Man City women in January.
Rumors out of Montreal are suggesting that current Miami FC coach Alessandro Nesta will replace Mauro Biello as head coach, and that Joey Saputo is going to clean house of medical, technical, and pretty much every other part of staff after the year. They also resigned Nacho Piatti.
DC is opening the upper deck for the final game.
Kevin Doyle retired, having been out with head issues for sometime from Colorado.Last edited by jefe; 29-09-2017, 04:08.

Really irritated MLS didn't have their shit sufficiently together to present us with the Shield on the night we won it. On the other hand, having them present it to us in front of the Impact two weeks from now is excellent. As is the notion of the Impact having to give us an honour guard.

It could happen but I still can't really believe it will. Last night we had one shot and scored with it. SKC missed a penalty, several clear open goals, and our back-up goalie played out of his socks. Parking the bus and playing for the break has, somehow, given us the best away record in the West. Yesterday we were Greece when they won the Euros, at other times though we just plain suck — 0–3 to Seattle last Wednesday. We own the lowest possession rate in MLS, by some distance, at one point against KC it was 23%. Can you win championships with kick and rush football like that these days? I suppose Leicester did, kinda.
Truth is all three Cascadia teams will likely make the play-offs. We'll have to play our way past at least one of them, and this year both Portland and Seattle own us. Much as I'd love to beat TO at BMO (which it is totally what would happen) I'll still be astonished if we get the opportunity.

Nashville announced a stadium plan. $275 million, only $25 of which to be paid by the city, the rest ownership, MLS, or tax revenue from the stadium.
2018 Canadian Championship expands to include the winners of the Quebec and Ontario leagues, Quebec's being from some place called Blainville.
Dallas heavily fucked up last weekend. They swapped Tesho Akindele for Michel Barrios after the team sheets were handed in before the match. They then subbed on an ineligble Barrios late on. Hello, likely forfeit to Orlando.

From Michael Bradley's letter to fans this AM, re: winning the shield:
But just as importantly, to win the Shield would guarantee that the last game we play this season will be at BMO Field.
If anyone is going to end our season, they’re going to have to do it on our field, in our weather, with our supporters, our fans, and the entire city of Toronto behind us.
Interesting he started with the weather.

Does Nashville get a MLS team if they have a ground? I’ve read reports both ways.
