If any of those games end up mattering to us it will mean we had another second half tank job. I'd actually like to see more wins from the bottom half of the East against the West to get the conference average up and undermine the "West is better" narrative.
LAFC has taken time off from the season to start running instructional camps in scoring. Last night they demonstrated to Vancouver how to hang 6 on an opponent without breaking a sweat.
50goals in 19 matches is pretty ridiculous. The league record is 85 by the ‘98 LAG, but that was MLS 1.0 when defense wasn’t really defense. LAFC is currently on course for 89.5 - only thing in their way is would be a possible drop in fitness/injury streak, which could happen since their stars play the majority of minutes.

I went to bed last night with Vancouver leading 1-0 and hanging on around the 30th minute. Yet, I wasn't all that surprised when I woke up and saw the final score this morning.
Houston is rather extreme even by MLS 2019 standards. Their H/A PPG differential is greater then 2. Yes, that is 2.40 PPG at home and 0.38 PPG Away. The only teams with worse PPG Away are Chicago and Cincinnati. Houston has the third best Home record and third worst road record. This was a somewhat predictable pair of results, with game last night being a clash of inevitables. Eventually against all odds, Houston would win a second road game or eventually Cincinnati would win another game, period.
Not to spoil the mood but... That TIFO totally takes Dr Seuss's message and absolutely shits on it in the hardest way possible. It's a cute idea, but I don't think it should have actually been visualized.
The message of the story is that having a special symbol doesn't give you a better class status.
Maybe I'm just being extra butt-hurt, but it feels like this TIFO takes that meaning out of the story and spins it into "yeah, it actually is better to have stars on us" which I understand refers to MLS cups sure, but removes that meaning of Dr Seuss's intentions.
...And here we are with ATL losing 2-1, karma
yep, but fuck them both so I'm okay with the current 3-2 scoreline, but could've been better!
Though a loss does help us with their morale on sunday!
