  1. Are any of the MLS teams prioritizing the CCL like RSL did last season? If you want to do well it has to be priority #1. MLS teams aren’t good enough to just show up and expect to go far.

  2. Some of this is MLS teams choosing to play mostly reserve rosters for theses last few CCL games. Seattle did it last night and you see the result. Colorado did it the last two weeks both resulted in losses. Dallas just got bet by a determine Mexican team.

  3. Juninho looking rusty, needs to play better, and he’s needed

    weird watching a soccer game where no one will slide, like they’re playing on concrete. Alajualense fields a good team for this surface, like tennis players have good games for certain surfaces

    that was a great goal

  4. I guess order has been restored in the world. Mexican teams are winning and MLS teams are losing in the Champions League. It was nice while it lasted.

  5. MLS teams are fading badly in CL. Most are getting out worked, even at home (see Sounders). MLS commish needs to talk with the clubs. I can’t see any MLS side advancing after the first round.

  6. The Rapids need a win and they go with their reserve lineup for the 2nd straight week. I guess they are choosing the MLS playoffs over Champions League. Its sad to see a league champion barely take international competition seriously.

  7. True! too bad he’s the most one footed player ever, and now very predictable. Still would take 11 joels in a second rather than the current group of bums.

  8. Hyndman is sitting on a sub and was just about to ask his players if anyone was tired, when suddenly the whistle blew, match over.

    Either he’s too old to count to 3, ot his watch battery ran out during the match. In which case that’s just an unlucky break.

  9. This is a f*cking joke. Get hall out of the f*cking game you play professional soccer and you cant play a full 90? Galindo learn to take someone on. I cant stand this sh!t

  10. Saying Marquez “floated in” a free kick is redundant. When has he driven in a free kick al year?

    Bonus Marquez trash talk – he makes $1.27 million more than the entire RSL team this year – hahahahahahahahahaha!

  11. Wow George John was just left out to dry. What the heck was the cb doing? You aren’t supposed to stop tracking a guy across your own goal mouth…

  12. Dallas is so tired and Hyndman refuses to put in subs. What is he thinking?

    Oh…I go back to that screen and..goal. Figures.

    USE YOUR SUBS HYNDMAN!

  13. Everyone trying to make the play by themselves instead of making the smart pass. Solli with blind crosses when guys are wide open on his left, Agudelo trying to take on 2 defenders over and again, Henri flopping in the box instead of holding up the ball and laying it back to a teammate. This is not a team. It is a collection of random players.
