Wolves 2 (0.3)-(1.5) 2 Arsenal
The stats will say it was fine but 2 up on the last place team and no win?

If Galatasaray go on to the next round, they will face Liverpool or Tottenham, both teams that spent big on strikers who are not Osimhen
I understand that the Premier League teams who bought strikers this summer were put off by the demands of Victor Osimhen’s agent. I don’t doubt that they were utterly ridiculous. But if they’d acquiesced to them, they would have Victor Osimhen.

I get asked this by MLS staffers regularly. If the clicks and views weren’t rocking with Ravi (who I consider to be one of THE best in the whole league) then it’s not gonna happen yet folks
perhaps I should start an MLS-only Transfer Flow offshoot that will generate upwards of 500 subscribers
but there are dozens of sickos out there who will eat it up

@akeaswaran.me made this neat graph of a quick strength of schedule model. Really interesting to see how relative difficulty between the front and back parts of the season may drive narratives. Neville might find his seat pretty hot, while Varas is my pick for COTY winner w/ a likely hot start.

Every year the MLS punditerati are asked to pick their MLS standings, every year they get smoked. @paulharvey.theoutfield.nyc decided to look into who is the best prognosticator, and who deserves the hatemail.

Introducing "Garbage Time"
I analyzed 25,000 matches to answer a simple question: when is a football match truly over?

American soccer wouldn't be the same without Doyle, who works incredibly hard to tell smart stories and build fan culture in a league that's starved for both
Blows my mind that MLS didn't beg him to keep doing that, but go subscribe to his work to keep the league fun in spite of itself

Fifteen years ago, I got my dream job writing for MLSsoccer. Last week, that came to an end.
I'm off on my own, and it's time to build something new – with a little help from all of you.

Also insane that the biggest and best voice on MLS is someone who preferred working for the league itself, and the league itself said nah, that's not worth our money. Bananas.
