The MLS Thread, Part V

DC United making a bunch of moves today. Using some TAM money to sign Hungarian international Zoltan Meiber, getting former USYNT prospect Russell Canouse to add to their midfield, and also signing US senior international Paul Arriola.

Looks like they're getting more serious about putting together a competitive team with the new stadium coming next year. Still think they need to get rid of Olsen if they actually wanna start playing decent/attractive soccer with these playmakers though.

They definitely need to start turning it around. It would be such a wasted opportunity to open their new stadium with a terrible team playing in it.

That Kaka red was hilarious. A) I have no idea what he was doing, I know it was  joke but I still don't get it. B) What a terrible red. 


Yet another reason why videos have no place in sports

They were former teammates and just being friendly, but it was still a really weird thing to do... Also, it is easy to see in the replay (when the camera is zoomed in) that they are both smiling, but in real-time or with limited camera angles on whatever the VAR ref is seeing, it very easily could have looked like just part of the scuffle and a very easy call for a red.

SKC signed Gianluca Busio to an MLS contract. Second youngest player ever to sign behind Adu (so in all likelihood the youngest). SKC has raided the Carolinas for youth players, have heard for a while Busio is extremely good but still surprising they signed him to an MLS deal already.

Back to back hat tricks for Josef Martinez. Fun game yesterday between them and Orlando and Atlanta got the MLS attendance record as well. Really impressive stuff going on down there.

Martinez has 16 goals in just 14 games this season. He's only 3 behind David VIlla for the Golden Boot while playing 12 fewer games, insane season for him. Really explosive player.
