    Yedlin has potential USMNT RB skills. defending needs work and needs to bulk up

    I say cut your losses, send them to Orlando (or anywhere that can manage 15k + per game) and set up the cosmos as the 20th team.

    KC easily should have had 5 goals against Montreal. Repeatedly carved open the Impact with ease, but some really horrendous finishing made this game less embarrassing than it should have been for the Impact.

    Some stats KC - Montreal:
    Attempts on goal 21 v. 6
    Shots on target 6 v. 1
    Crosses 16 v. 8
    That's despite possession, no. of passes, and passing accuracy all being pretty equal.

    Did you see the Schallibaum bottle-throwing ejection? It was the weirdest thing. The ref calls him over and asks him to leave and he just calmly obliges with a sort-of "Oh, you saw that. Okay, well take care and I'll see you later" response.

    I haven't actually seen it, although I was interested! It's not shown on the MLS highlights. I guess I could check MLS Live.

    First of all, Everyone needs to get MLSLive... Well worth it!

    just finished watching the condensed match of KC vs Limpact... And wow. Sporting KC was all over Limpact, the game should have been 5-0

    Bieler is a beast! The stadium was packed to the rafters... What a differance from 2010

    DeMerit's loss is massive for Vancouver. They have no one else that really dominates that CB position. Like I said, they'll score but they'll leak plenty.

    wouldn't totally agree with that. It's only been a few games but the few times I saw Rusin he's been pretty good.

    Completely agree.

    It's a good way to have a look at the rest of the league.

    Yea MLS Live has been pretty awesome so far, especially for guys without cable like myself. If you want to watch the blacked out TFC games it's worth looking into Unblock-US for $5 a month. Plus you get to use the American Netflix! Lots of cool stuff like the Jay Demerit story, QPR: Four-Year Plan [with Hogan Ephraim cameo!], Workaholics and It's Always Sunny.

    explain this blackout tfc game stuff? I thought that was the whole point. TO get every game. 5 bucks a month is a hell of alot to unblock a few games when you consider your already paying 8 bucks a month for the service

    no national game broadcasts on MLS Live. part of scheme to drive up rating numbers on TSN/ESPN/NBC
