MLS teams only settle into form in October.
I was thinking about this this morning. The TSN punditry, including Kristian Jack who I respect in many ways, has stated that TFC should be dominating teams week in and week out and until then, TFC won't be what they should be. Sure, if this was the EPL or somewhere in Europe. But, in MLS, teams don't do that. Dallas is not a bad team - Hedges had a shocking game making some stupid decisions but he's not a bad MLS class defender. The idea that a team should dominate every week, to me that idea comes from a European perspective as to how leagues work and how teams should be judged. Can't do that in MLS.
There is just too much
a) disparity between the technical skills in some players on the same team
b) parity between rosters technical levels
c) travel
d) lack of speed in soccer thought
In the long run, form and quality will tend to give a team 9-12 points more then another. That's it. 3-4 wins worth. You don't see 4-6 loss seasons like we see in the EPL, for example.
