2-1 for LA. Portland's defence looks shaky, to say the least.

edit: oh shit VAR.
VAR saved us there but... why did Zardes think it was a good idea to use his hand? Also, why the HELL did Adi not get a PK on his break? He got taken down clear as day.

BWP and David 'El Guaje' Villa with 2 goals apiece. 2-2 now. Top quality strikers.

EDIT: 3-2 now for NYCFC. Villa hat-trick. Zizzo does Zizzo things, concedes a penalty.

I just got back from the day, finished watching GoT, getting ready for Cincy, and you?

But honestly, just a shit couple of minutes from Zizzo. Shame Royer went down so early, glad it isn't worse than it looked. Robles and the backline didn't have the best performance today. On to Orlando.

So happy Neagle was traded back to Seattle. He was good last year. This year when he played it was basically like DC played with a man down.

What stings the most about that loss is the team seemingly fell apart after BWP scored that second goal. In the build up to that goal the team was dominant, after that it was just a comedy of errors where everything went wrong all at once.

Quick recap on the current Impact drama

-Ballou Tabla wants to go to Europe and he's mad the team won't let him go
-refused to show up to practice yesterday
-tweeted a lame apology this morning

Another disappointing transfer window and Chris Wondolowski lets me down again.

According to the rumors no one in MLS wanted to give RBNY anything without getting a player in return. I mean, I'm cool with losing Zizzo or Perrinelle but that's about it.

This has been the most fun transfer window for MLS in awhile. Particularly impressed by DC United; I think they're going to have a Chicago Fire-esque surge to the top of the East next year. And Vela to LAFC is super exciting.

As for the Whitecaps, I'm pretty satisfied with our transfer window. Added CB depth in Maund, shipped out Dean who's injury prone and on a hefty salary, upgraded on our backup keeper with Marinovic, and it looks like we're adding an Egyptian international CDM who's played in the Portugese top division.
 
Dom Dwyer murdered, authorities seeking wife for questioning:



Glad to get to be at the stadium tonight to see us win. PK games are going to be the death of me though.

Hahaha OMG

That reminds me... the conversation I had with my wife a couple days ago (she doesn't really follow soccer at all):

Her: Hey, Dom Dwer went to a different team, right?
Me: Yeah, Orlando.
Her: Okay, well this lady who's apparently his wife is in a Facebook mom group that I'm in, and she's giving away a bunch of his jerseys and gear and stuff so she doesn't have to pack it to move.
Me: What?? Sydney Leroux??
Her: Yeah, wow... you know her name?
Me: YES, she's a big soccer star too! Like almost as big as Hope Solo and Alex Morgan...
Her: I know who Hope Solo is...
Me: Never mind that, did you jump on it??
Her: No, I was thinking about it, but she says they're all medium... that'd be too small for you
Me: Who cares?? I'll hang it on the wall or something!
Her: Jeez, I'm sorry, I didn't think you'd care... actually that was this morning and a zillion people have called dibs already.
Me: Ó╭╮Ò

Epilogue: An hour later, I see some lady on a FB local swap and shop page selling a bunch of game worn Dwyer jerseys.


EDIT: Well I thought it was an entertaining story.

I wonder if a healthy Grella and/or Lade would've been used as trade bait.

It's odd. We signed 2 new players, which is good, but they're not these impactful signings you're seeing elsewhere in the league. Maybe it feels like that because they haven't touched the field yet, idk.

I feel like they're both depth signings. I mean, we need those, but it just feels odd considering how everyone else is getting these big names meant to change the game. Meanwhile the best we can hope for is more minutes for Veron in the hope he catches fire.

Excited to see Nemeth back in the league.

Feel like something has to give in that NE attack though... too many starter quality players vying for too few spots it feels like.
