Toronto FC V Seattle Sounders (Aug 10)

The hosts will be looking to gain their 𝓰third straight win and ext🃏ended their unbeaten run to four matches as they get set to face the Sounders for the first time this season. New signing Swiss defender Jonas Elmer may be in the squad if his international clearance comes through in time.

U.S. Men’s National Team captain Clint Dempsey’s recent move to the Seattle Sounders of MLS has been met with very mixed reactions. Some are disappointed that one of the U.S.’s top players, if not its top player, is no longer playing in Europe and has seemingly given up on his dream of playing Champions League football. Others are enthusiastic about what the switch means for MLS long-term, and its potential role in helping to improve the quality of the league.

The visitors registered back-to-back wins for the first time this campaign to extended their unbeaten run to three matches. It also avenged the 2-0 lost…

Los Angeles – The LA Galaxy will be going head to head with AC Milan for third place in the Guinness International Champions Cup Wednesday August 7th 2013 in Miami Florida.

Sporting Kansas City 2 New York Red Bulls 3

The visitors extended their unbeaten run to four games and gained revenged for the earlier season loss to Sporting as they moved to the top of the Eastern Conference with this victory. Jonny Steele gave the Red Bulls the lead after 27 minutes, but Kei Kamara leveled it for Sporti♚ng on the Stroke of halftime. Fabian Espindola claimed his third goal in his last two games to put the visitors back in front after 63 minutes and 6 minutes later Lloyd Sam increased it further. Dom Dwyer got one back for the home side 2 minutes into second half stoppage time but they could not find an equaliser and fell to their second consecutive defeat.

The MLS teams join the competition in the last 32. DC United were drawn away to Richmond Kickers (USL PRO) and had to survive a scare as they were taken all the way to penalties before winning the lottery 4-2. Chicago Fire were also on the road as they met t🔥he Charlotte Eagles (USL PRO) but had little trouble disposing of them 2-0. Portland had a home tie against Wilmington Hammerheads (USL PRO) which proved no problem at all as they advanced with a 5-1 success. Real Salt Lake were also given home advantage against Atlanta Silverbacks (NASL) but were pushed all the way before prevailing 3-2 after extra time.

Dempsey is what many say he is, a medium sized fish that is fit for a medium sized pond. At Fulham he basically overachieved, bringing them to a Europa League final. There he was a medium fish in a little pond, but when he moved to Tottenham it seemed like the spotlight got brighter and Deuce couldn’t quite handle it.

These are ambitious times for MLS and the next few years will certainly have a huge bearing on how the league goes forward. Lets just hope it is a positive outcome this time unlike previous dawns when someones tries to make them a major player only to see their plans 🐻and the leag🔯ues in ruins.
