Round One drama: What we learned in Game 3 & what comes next for those who advanced, and those whose season came to an end.

Including Minnesota & Seattle playing an all-time great, "Only in MLS!!" decider.

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...

Barca's offside trap is less effective but way funnier than last year.

Ali Velshi is better, actually.

And a note in here on why the Sounders will almost certainly keep starting Musovski.

Western Conference: What we learned in Game 2 & what comes next

- Austin weren't ready
- Dallas put up a fight
- Seattle stoppage slop

And as for Portland? Folks, they've got to go Goblin Mode or they've got no chance.

I've spent my entire life ruminating on how exactly to say this and @albertburneko.bsky.social just puts it perfectly in one paragraph. American conservatism distilled down to its essence.

Thinking about how much the Galaxy are going to change next year just by getting this guy back.

All the Eastern Conference Round 1, Game 2s are in the books!

Here's who's going home, what we learned, and what should come next.

Including a plea for courage from NYCFC, more of the same from Nashville... and the best night for Crew fans since 2024.

4g/2a in 800 minutes in 2024, couldn't get off the bench in 2025 for a 28-point team.

Unless there was something happening behind the scenes (if there was I never heard it), burying this kid never made sense.

Western Conference: What we learned in Game 1 & what comes next.

Should LAFC ditch the 352? Does Dallas have any kind of prayer? Will Chucky play?

And a very, very big decision for Brian Schmetzer in Seattle...
