I've quite enjoyed it, personally. Just discussing with the missus if we're going to get stuck into the final instalments tonight or wait a couple of days.

It was a very good performance right up until Spurs scored. The sheer scale of the drop off in intelligence and composure for those last 10 minutes, plus added time, was deeply concerning.

All depends on AJ's form between his return from injury through to the end of the club season. Spots in midfield are super competitive in JM's 4-4-2. You have to assume that Eustaquio is going to start and Kone's form in Serie A right now is something else. What a goal he scored against Milan today!

Ocampo and Nelson would play like wing-backs, providing width. Nelson would have to really commit to the defensive side of the ball, though.
Question with any formation will be what to do when one of the key players are out of the team. Can Badwal and Priso cover the midfield 2 adequately, etc.

This would be good, as long as Berhalter and White are willing to ext.I don't think the owners would be happy with losing both for free after the season.
A 3-4-2-1 could also work. Something like:
Takaoka
Blackmon Veselinovic Laborda
Ocampo Berhalter Cubas Nelson
Mueller Gauld
White

Sorensen's biggest challenge in 2026 is finding a way for Mueller, Gauld, and White to play in the same XI consistently. It might mean selling the wingers, while the offers are good, and focusing on flying full-backs for width. Interesting times, indeed.

If we were to suspend the realities of economics and MLS' place in the overall world football hierarchy, I'd love to see Berhalter, Ahmed, Laborda, White, Takaoka, Ocampo, Sabbi, and Cubas all come back for at least one more year.

Apologies for the profanity. The '11 SCF is still a sore subject for me.

Every year, I laugh at fans and media that suggest I should support the last remaining Canadian-based team in the Stanley Cup playoffs out of national obligation. I laugh because I remember how most of those same people openly cheered for the Bruins in the '11 SCF. Fuck them all, I say. Go 'Caps!

MLS should be issuing a blanket apology to every Canadian like MLB did after that whole upside down flag thing in the early-'90s.

Not scoring against Australia, despite being far better throughout, was the disappointing one. Their 'keeper being MotM didn't help us there.
