There isn’t any query that MLS groups have gone youthful in recent times with its high-profile signings. Ezequiel Barco and Diego Rossi are extra of the norm than Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Rooney. However when a participant like Rooney indicators with the league, it does create a really actual picture of a “retirement” league even if the precise proof factors in any other case.

That isn’t to say that the older gamers who’ve come right here haven’t been useful to the league or its groups.

However Thierry Henry and David Beckham had been big belongings that helped the Crimson Bulls and the Galaxy immensely.

If Rooney can rating objectives and assist flip round a woeful DC United workforce, everybody will likely be pleased.

USL Chicago drops a bombshell

Does anybody assume that this challenge, with such an enormous funding and high-profile proprietor, has a watch in the direction of a USL workforce and nothing past? Probably, however that’s actually arduous to imagine.

Can anybody actually think about a state of affairs the place a USL workforce has a greater stadium in a significantly better location than an MLS workforce performs in the identical metropolitan space?

Predictably, the Philadelphia Union proceed to be offensively inept and it’s straightforward to see a state of affairs the place Jim Curtin may not survive this. This workforce is totally underperforming in its entrance six regardless of having properly established gamers – and proper now it’s arduous to see that stopping anytime quickly.

For technical director Earnie Stewart, it actually does harm his case to be the following U.S. nationwide workforce basic supervisor as he is among the candidates.

The massive surprises of the evening had been the house losses suffered by Toronto FC and Atlanta United.

Atlanta United has such superb offensive firepower that residence shutouts are eye-opening. Brad Guzan’s first half purple card made it rather a lot more durable on Atlanta however full credit score has to go to Sporting Kansas Metropolis’s veteran protection which has this league found out.

Peter Vermes’ technique has been easy of through the years: get a stable defensive core that operates properly within the league and run with it. Right here, goalkeeper Tim Melia is among the finest within the league and the central protection tandem of Ike Opara and Matt Besler will primarily shut down most opponents. There may be nothing younger or thrilling about it. It simply works.

In the meantime, Toronto FC’s residence loss to Seattle is stunning on so many ranges. Seattle has been very poor offensively all season lengthy. In the meantime, Toronto FC put themselves into an enormous gap when fielding second-string lineups within the league to deal with the Champions League. Everybody figured the defending champions would dig out of it. Maybe they are going to – even with out the injured Jozy Altidore, Toronto has a ton of expertise.

However 2-1 loss at residence to a foul offensive workforce means that Toronto must actually bear right down to make a climb.
