    Colorado and real Salt Lake compete every year for a trophy called the Rocky Mountain cup. It’s very similar to the Cascadia cup that Portland/Seattle/Vancouver contest annually. The rivalry is also sometimes known as the rumble in the Rockies, as that is what it is called, when teams from Colorado and Utah play against each other in other sports.

    It’s pronounced the same way that you would pronounce Real Madrid. Ironically, you weren’t wrong with Royal as real is the Spanish word for royal. Back when real Salt Lake were initially created they were a partner club to Real Madrid and their goal was to develop young players for them in a competitive league abroad. Real Madrid abandoned the team a few years later and discontinued the partnership, but real Salt Lake kept their name.

    Sacramento or no strangers to the open cup. They are still fully professional, but they do reside in our second division. They knocked off three MLS teams in 2022 to be the first non-MLS team since 2008 to make the final. The final was scoreless on the road in an MLS stadium in the 75th minute before they gave up three goals in the final 15 minutes to lose. A non-MLS team has not won the competition since 1999 but they are one of only three teams since then to have made a final. Their fan support is incredible too. They had almost 11,000 fans there for this game.

    I have two game recommendations for you. Real Salt Lake versus Colorado Rapids, also known as the rumble in the Rockies or the Rocky Mountain cup from the weekend. It’s a derby match. Mid week there was a seven goals thriller in the US Open cup. The highlights are already available on the US soccer KZread page.

    I think it was hard to pull momentum from beating San Jose. In all honesty, San Jose is a team that everybody is expecting to be. Given all of their mistakes in this game, I don’t feel like losing only one goal was a bad result for Portland. Minnesota will have to feel like they could’ve gotten a lot more from this game. I would expect Portland to beat Kansas City next weekend though. Portland create a lot of chances and Kansas City cannot keep opposing teams out of the back of the net. I don’t know if they have conceded the most goals in all of MLS, but they’re definitely top five if not top three.

    I’m surprised Portland haven’t pulled a Nashville. Nashville have had a miserable start to the season with their coach that they’ve had since I think 2018 or 2019…he’s been around a while. Last season was the worst finish in team history and this season was on track to be worse. There was rumors he’d be sacked but they waited until the morning after they beat Toronto 2-0 to sack him. Was the first time I’ve really ever seen a coach get sacked after a win. I feel like Portland just need to get rid of Garry Neville.

    Miami looks unstoppable now, but we’ve seen how they’ve played when Lionel Messi is missing. It doesn’t matter if the entire rest of the team is there if their lives depended on it, they would not be able to win a game without Lionel Messi. From the last weekend of May throughout the month of June and the first weekend of July minimum he will be out for the COPA America And pre-Copa America friendly. He may be out additional weeks in July if Argentina make it out of the group stages. They will have quite a bit of an issue holding on that top spot. He’ll be at least seven or eight MLS games if not more. No, MLS does not stop play for the COPA America. Many players, over 100 league wide, will be out for COPA America and the euros combined… In MLS you call up the reserves and keep playing.

The official US soccer KZread page will, at some point, eventually upload the highlands. When they do if they do before the round of 16 on May 21, I would definitely recommend checking out a couple of those games. They were absolutely bonkers. MLS side, Houston Dynamo versus second division USL championship Detroit city, all second division USL championship matchup between Tampa Bay rowdies, and Birmingham Legion was a 10 goal thriller, MLS Seattle sounders hosting second division USL championship Louisville city went all the way to penalties, third division USL league one Union Omaha hosted MLS side sporting Kansas City in a game that went all the way through overtime and New Mexico United of our second division USL championship hosted MLS side real Salt Lake.

I think if this had been in Portland Portland probably would’ve won, but there has not really been a more dominant team in MLS at Home over the last couple seasons as Charlotte. They finished ninth in the east both of their first two seasons in MLS and they are currently sat seventh heading into this week this season for their third ever MLS season but they’re almost undefeated at home. If you make a mistake at Bank of America Stadium chances are you probably aren’t going to leave their unscaved.

    I don’t really have all that much to say about this match. Portland did well to bring themselves back into the game, but considering how much LAFC are struggling this season this should not have been that much of a competition for them. Obviously should’ve been a tough game on the road plus LAFC still have Bouanga who scored over 40 goals and all competitions last season and won the Golden boot in both the champions league and MLS league but other than that nothing has gone right for LAFC this season. Portland need the summer transfer at the end of July to get here fast. Unlike Europe it doesn’t open until the end of July in MLS.

Normally he broadcast Miami games only but sometimes to make it look like they’re being impartial they assign him to cover other games.

    This is one of the newest derby’s in MLS. Kansas City and St. Louis are separated by only 250 miles. They are in the same state. I know in the UK 250 miles is like from the east side of your country to the west side of your country but here that’s like local. When Miami visits Vancouver for their league fixture in a few months that will be a 7000 mile round-trip for Miami. That’s a regular league fixture. When the Portland Timbers visited the Columbus crew that was 2448 miles one way… They then had to fly back. That’s not even close to coast. Ohio is three states inland. That’s both why winning on the road is so hard in this league because of how far you have to travel and that’s also why fixtures like Portland versus Seattle, St. Louis versus Kansas City, Charlotte versus Atlanta, Salt Lake versus Colorado, and a couple others are major derby even though they’re not all that close in European standards. Sporting Kansas City are one of the original MLS teams from 1996 and St. Louis played their first ever competitive game in February 2023. They knew that this game was going to be a spicy fixture just because of how close the two teams were to each other and it has not disappointed.

    The El Paso keeper is actually a Jamaican international. A lot of national team starters from small countries in Asia, like really small like Estonia or Latvia, etc as well as small countries from the Caribbean end up playing professionally in the USL championship. The Paso goalkeeper is Jamaica’s number two and is called up to every single Jamaica camp. he gets to train with Leon Bailey and all of Jamaica’s other premier league players every time he goes to camp. Andre Blake of the Philadelphia union is the number one keeper. Occasionally, MLS clubs will loan some of their young players to the USL but it’s becoming incredibly rarer as MLS and USL just start fighting and competing more intensely. Through a lot of young Americans in the USL that are very talented that will never get the chance to play for MLS because MLS clubs, but the exception of a couple, refused to buy players from the USL. It’s honestly hurting our national team in the long run. The USL had these really good scouting departments and are able to get into areas. The MLS isn’t operating and then when they find good players, the good players career is essentially shut down because MLS refuses to buy them from the USL because they do not want to give their rival money. European leagues don’t scout the USL because it’s technically below MLS but there’s a lot of players that are equally talented. It kind of sucks.

    Tampa Bay rowdies have a great home atmosphere. They’re Seagan can hold 7300 people and it’s usually packed out. It’s also right on the water so you can actually see the water from most seats in the stadium. MLS tried putting a team in Tampa Bay, the Tampa Bay mutiny, but it failed after five seasons. Fans brought it back as the Tampa Bay routies, but they haven’t been able to afford to pay to get out of the second division. We don’t have promotion and relegation here, but what we do have is paid to play. You can play at whatever level you can afford to buy your spot in. If you want to play MLS, you have to pay a half $1 billion. If you want to play in the USL championship, Tampa Bay league, you have to come up with I believe it’s $20 million. If you want to play our third division USL league one it’s $5 million. The national independent soccer association is the lowest level of professional soccer and I believe that is $250,000 or $500,000.

    It does not look like Portland made any signings at the transfer deadline. I think that they’re probably waiting until summer. Even though the summer is not our primary transfer window, it is for Europe so that tells me that they’re probably looking for a player from Europe. The trend is that players transferring into MLS from other countries/leagues in CONCACAF or South America typically arrived to MLS in the winter window and players coming from Europe typically arrive in the summer.

    The galaxy vs San Jose game was actually not that good. Galaxy jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and then did their best late season arsenal impression. You expect these galaxy vs San Jose matches to be good usually though. It’s the California Classico, one of the oldest derbies in MLS as it’s between two of MLS’s founding teams. The game of the week was Sporting Kansas City vs St. Louis City SC without a doubt. Both teams play in Missouri and it’s turning into a heated in-state derby. Never thought it’d explode into such a big game so fast, with Kansas City being one of the original MLS teams from 1996 and St. Louis joining the league as a new team and playing for the first time ever last year but…my word. It’s become must watch tv when they play. Another game to check out isn’t in MLS, but from our second division the USL Championship. A player scored a goal from over 60 yards out. It looked like something from a glitching video game honestly. It’s one of the most unbelievable things I’ve ever seen in my entire life in any sport. The game is Tampa Bay Routies vs El Paso Locomotive. It’s on the USL on KZread youtube page and they won’t take it down if you check it out so you are good. It’s fully professional and players for both of those teams actually play for and sometimes start for national teams so it’s quality. You just have to see that goal man.

In MLS, it does not reopen until July 24, I believe it is, and it’s only open until August 12th or so and then it’s closed again. The winter one is the primary one for us and is open from the day after the MLS cup final in December until some date in April. Olivier Jeru is coming to LAFC in July, it’s already been confirmed and agreed to. Was made official a couple hours ago. Be glad that your regular season meetings with LAFC conclude after this week if I’m not mistaken. Jeru and Bouanga will be a Busquettes/Messi combo. Two mega stars and two potent goal scorers.

He managed to be an extra defender and make five or six really good blocks for both teams on what could’ve been goal scoring opportunities. The highlights obviously left that out lol.

    The Charlotte game is free on MLS season pass this Sunday. We host Minnesota United. Would you be able to go live on KZread for that one? Could be a blast. Charlotte are now coached by Dean Smith, the Aston Villa legend. It’s his first season coaching in MLS and, although the club only has 11 points from the first eight matches it’s still the best start to a season in club history. Spectacularly he’s not even doing it with top players. When he took over after last season, he sold and cut all of the major contributors from the team… And then proceeded to make no new signings. She’s running out players from the reserve team and the Academy team every week until the summer window because he wants to see what the players are made of and how bad they really want to be on the team. All of us Charlotte fans were pretty fuming at first but now it’s looking like a pretty good move because club record start to the season and we know that there are reinforcements coming in the summer. There was one reinforcement brought in Winger Liel Abada was brought in from Celtic FC, a few weeks ago, our window is open till April 23, but otherwise it’s just been a roster full of kids and whoever they could scrap together until the summer. We’re still in pretty good position.

    Yes, MLS is growing big time. In 1996, the first season of MLS, the average under 7000 fans per game. It hit an all-time low in 2001 when two of their clubs went out of business and it looked like the league would fold. It was a struggle to get 3000 people to show up. It’s starting to go back up to the numbers from the late 90s but then David Beckham joined the league in 2007. The average around 15,000 fans per game when he was here and the drop off didn’t really happen when he left. In fact, attendance continue to get better as David Beckham paved the way for more clubs to sign bigger name players under the David Beckham rule or the designated player rule. In 2018 73,000 people showed up to an MLS game in Atlanta Georgia. Most MLS teams now play at soccer specific stadiums instead of sharing NFL venues like they were at first. This kind of caps the capacity as most of the soccer specific stadiums are built to only hold around 25,000 people or so. Kansas City play at the 19,400 capacity children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City. For this game because they knew that Lionel Messi was in town and they wanted to allow more fans to come see him and come see the local team play against him. They got permission to play at the local 77,000 capacity NFL stadium. They brought over 72,000 fans which was the record for the largest crowd to watch a soccer game in the history of the state of Missouri. Charlotte FC holds the MLS record for the largest attendance at a home venue that is a weekly home venue not a one time we’re renting a bigger stadium thing… But they’re full-time Home venue. In 2022 they brought 74,479 for the season opener against the LA Galaxy. The all-time MLS record was for a game between LAFC and LA Galaxy played at the Rose Bowl, somewhat neutral venue in Los Angeles, so that the crowd could be split 50/50, and 82,500 people showed up for that. That was last summer.

    It’s a trend. Miami goes down so soft and more often than not. They get the call because that’s where the superstars are. He went down like that right before the first goal because he was legitimately expecting to get the call and it’s been called in favor of Miami several times already this season.

    As noted in a prior comment, most MLS clubs are not participating in the U.S. Open cup, our version of the FA cup. Only eight MLS first teams are participating and they join in the next round. Nine MLS reserve teams were participating, including Portland, but they have already been eliminated by fully amateur opposition at home in the very first round. an additional twelve MLS clubs were not participating in any capacity with a first team or a reserve team. Outside of the MLS first teams and MLS reserve teams, an additional 47 fully professional clubs from the United States for participating, including every club from our second and third divisions. There were also 16 fully amateur clubs allowed into the tournament, and I believe five of those amateur clubs are still alive in the third round, including the one that knocked out Portland. MLS is trying to refuse participation in the tournament because they have been losing to our lower leagues a lot lately and it’s been embarrassing for them. They are trying to shut the lower leagues down because they do not want competition for soccer fans or competitive purposes in the United States. Their hope is that if they don’t play in the tournament, those leagues don’t get exposure or money and they start to go bankrupt. They have been fighting back-and-forth with our Federation about this for a few months. This is the first year the MLS has not fully participated in the open cup since it took the field in 1996, and the open cup has been played every year except for the Covid year since 1914.

    The champions cup are on their own KZread page. It’s the official CONCACAF KZread page. Outside of North America/Central America/Caribbean you can watch the games for free on KZread page live. The highlights are also available globally. The semi finals Start at the end of April. We start out with 10 of the 27 clubs in the tournament being from MLS… Of the four remaining only one is from MLS and half of the Liga MX representation, three of their six, are still there. Columbus crew is the only MLS side remaining and club America/Monterey/Pachuca are the Liga MX clubs remaining. No other countries have had clubs make it to the semifinal. Only one team not from MLS/MX made the quarterfinal and that was a club from Costa Rica. They lost seven - one on aggregate.

Columbus is of MLS and Tigres is of Liga MX the Mexican league. The second leg just finished last night and what happened was the first time ever happened in history. The first leg was played last Tuesday in Columbus Ohio and the second leg was last night down in Monterey.
