For posterity, here's what is still my favorite MLS goal ever.

For posterity, here's what is still my favorite MLS goal ever.
I'm much more of a "team goal" guy than an "individual banger" guy but this shit's stayed with me for 15 years.
Still my favorite thunderbastard in MLS history. Has a level of intentionality to it that few goals have ever matched.
What a player, what a career.

The post-mortems continue!
Three teams – Chicago, Austin and FC Dallas – have already been eliminated in Round 1 of the MLS playoffs. What comes next for them?
For Austin in particular, they're kind of hemmed in by earlier roster moves...
