Those who kept up with the POWER RANKINGS on TACTICS FREE ZONE this season will know that the 2025 MLS Cup is between the two teams who held rank 1 the most often (Miami, 14; Vancouver, 9)

Ignore POWER at your peril

Agreed. Just looked up when the Super Bowl kicks off and it’s normally (6:30 p.m. ET, 3:30 p.m. PT). That seems like the perfect time. IMO, the one thing that is actually good to copy for MLS.
11:30am PST MLS Cup kickoff is dumb

Anders Dreyer’s debut season in MLS was pure domination 🔥

After tearing it up in Belgium with Anderlecht, he arrived in San Diego and instantly became that guy, dragging an expansion team all the way to a conference final in Year 1.

What. A. Season. 🌟💥

Philly were 7W-7L-5D with a -2 goal differential against playoff teams in regular-season play this year.

They were 13-1-1x +24 against non-playoff teams.

They won over and over again against bad teams. Against good ones they were mid.
just a hideous sample size. Philly didn't take their chances. It happens in soccer. It doesn't prove anything about the relative level of those 2 teams. Philly won over and over again this year with their "bunch of good but not elite players" roster.

60' Andre Blake can't continue.

Andrew Rick replaces Andre Blake, Frankie Westfield replaces Jovan Lukić (Nathan Harriel goes to defensive midfield), and Mikael Uhre replaces Tai Baribo.

He doesn’t have a name he’s just “RICK” #mls

The dark web has spoken.
There will be lots to unpack in the aftermath of this for everyone in Cincy – fingers to point everywhere – but it probably shouldn't be ignored that Evander's now no-showed two straight postseasons.

I really love what’s being built in the NWSL supporters community. It’s fucking special and everyone is leaning in their own ways.

Really appreciate what @bayfcsupporters.bsky.social did this weekend and in the lead up to the final to host us and keep the momentum going. Thank you!!!
