Atlanta not starting well, obviously they lost Almiron but managed to keep Martinez.
But after an Opening day defeat to DC United(poor mistake by Guzan lead to the 2nd) last week, they have followed that up with a draw at home against new MLS team Cincinnati who lost their opening game 4-1 to Seattle Sounders
San Jose Earthquakes who only managed 21 points last season look like they are going to have another poor season with 2 defeats in 2 losing 2-1 at home to Montreal in week 1 and losing 3-0 home to Minnesota today

Amazed Martinez is still there. 51 goals in 56 MLS games, i would've expected European clubs to be after him. He'll surely move this summer.
I thought Arsenal were being linked with him of late?
Wonder if a few clubs are watching to see how Miguel Almiron does for Newcastle to see how players cope with swapping the MLS for England (Jack Harrison hasnt done badly in the Championship); have to admit was quite impressed with him on his debut
If you can look past the overall level of play and just enjoy a game, then it’s a very entertaining league.
Looking forward to be able to watch some matches in Austin from next year.
edit: or the year after... whatever
Doesn’t that mean that literally every football league on earth is “a very entertaining league”?!
I actually don’t think the standard is that bad, hard to compare, but I’d say it’s better than League One.
Not always. Some leagues are absolutely awful to watch, including most of France and Eastern Europe.
MLS tends to have few, if any, cagey matches. It’s the definition of end-to-end with lots of goal mouth action. Away teams will happily play attacking football instead of shutting the game down from the first minute.
Is it just me, or should the keeper have saved all three. I watched the first half, before I fell asleep, and he made a great save earlier but those all look like bad positioning/ reaction by the keeper
Id like to point out I have been drinking for a while so I’m a bit judgement impaired.
I've got a soft spot for SJ Earthquakes. After a poor start they've now won 5 of their last 6.
I recall in our record breaking League 1 season, an American actor (can't remember his name, he was in American Pie) somehow met the Charlton team on a night out I think, and got invited into the dressing room at the next home game (random i know!). There was a feature about him in the programme saying he would now be a cafc fan moving forwards, and that SJ Earthquakes were his team back home. Ever since, I thought I'd return the favour hence looking our for their results!

Brilliant game last week in Colorado under 6 inches of snow!
Proper football.
