Itβs so versatile. A vehicle for so many things
Great work by Jeff. Ridiculous stuff by USL. If you care about lower division soccer in the US, you should be appalled by the actions of the league
The answer to the third question is yes
It wonβt change marginal offsides calls, itβll just change what part of the body itβs being called on. It also could make the game even more conservative, because defenders will drop deeper to avoid being caught. Itβs truly misguided

@joeclowery.bsky.social, @benwright.bsky.social & @aclausen90.bsky.social dive into the standout stories from around MLS ‡οΈ
Had at the end of the Rapids game
17 year old Dos Santos with the initial cross!
Been great defensively, and the way heβs given license to drive into the attack with the ball at his feet and add another number going forward has caused problems across both their games this season
17 year old with the goal. 17 year old Matthew Dos Santos with the initial cross in. 16 year old Adri Mehmeti with the headed assist. This team is so fun
Surely thereβs never been an MLS team that had two u22 midfielders so good as the ball at the same time, like Red Bulls has with Mehmeti and Donkor, right?
Under. Partially because of his fitness record
It was a fun weekend in MLS for #PlayYourKids folks. 27 teenagers got minutes in matchweek 1, 14 of them started. 9 of them were under 18, 6 of them started.
Are there any details on the fee? Because technically he hasnβt been sold to Man City yet, itβs just a clause that he will be. I assume that fee is set though
Heβs so good
Duah
Donkor
Mehmeti
Miller
Martinez
Brady
Gozo
Hall
Sullivan
(Iβm assuming the fee has already been agreed for Cavan)
He made some really smart, well timed off the ball runs from deep too. Didnβt get the ball, but Iβd be willing to bet he adds some goals from that this season
Yeah, thereβs been a couple other example. Like Jackson Ragen was drafted by the Fire. I believe the draft only gets you their first team, MLS rights
Iβm glad weβre creating another allocation money bucket. UAM is gonna be great
Jon, but what about the expansion fees?
Appreciate that Doyle! That means a lot coming from you
This was very interesting research to do. Crazy to think how much your schedule plays a role in MLS
If youβre committed to #PlayYourKids the Red Bulls might just be for you
The Rapids cycle is you have a good season doing a tactical thing, have a bad follow up season because you didnβt add talent, then try a new tactical thing. Wash, rinse, repeat
Haha yeah, no agreeing with you. This is not the personnel to dominate possession with
Have you considered this is finally the year Reggie Cannon becomes a good in possession player? No? Well youβd be right
Preston Judd a top 5 player in MLS. Just as we all expectedβ¦ jokes aside, think heβs going to be great this season
The highlight being the Red Bulls starting 3 high schoolers and all of them balling out
This is a great question and I think the answer is yes
