General MLS Discussion

Messi's MLS league play postponed.

Miami and Charlotte were schedule to play August 20 when MLS resumes, but they also face each other in Leagues Cup quarterfinals, which means that one of them will definitely make the semifinals and play on 8/19. So they already announced the game will be rescheduled date TBA.

As best I can tell he’s a Nashville soccer fan appalled at ticket prices and playing with chaos.

thought this was interesting. not sure how opta calculates their power ranking average though. didn't seem obvious and i didn't go looking.

MLS is ranked 29th in the world

I am not sure how they calculated that either, but they need to rethink Mexico in 10th and MLS in 29th.

And how is Philly so far ahead of the MLS pack?
The Union have the most points in MLS over the last 1.5 seasons. Also the last 2.5, 3.5,4.5, 5.5, and 6.5 seasons (2017 to present). More than LAFC, more than us. Go back to 2016 and NYCFC leads. But the Union have been remarkably and consistently good for a long while now, even though they only won a single Shield in a short season. I don't know how many seasons this ranking includes or how they are weighted.
 
why? he couldn't bring portland back from the ashes and he was given a pretty long leash as they didn't perform that well last year either and missed the playoffs.
I think he's a better manager than Nick Cushing. Portland has had major problems stemming from their toxic ownership, and I'd be willing to bet a new setting would get Savarese back to winning consistently. He also got some New York (and Jersey) experience, which I think would help us overall with attracting young, local talent.

Doesn't he not play the "City way?" I think he'd fit right in at the Red Bulls, but not sure he'd fit in here. Plus we haven't gone for an American coach since Kreis, I get the sense if Nick gets fired they're going to stay overseas and find a CFG coach from their network.

He doesn't strictly play the City way, and IIRC, he left RBNJ because of philosophy differences. Perhaps he wouldn't be a good fit, but I'd love to have a guy who has MLS experience and isn't using this gig to go back to Europe in a year and a half.
