It’s All-Star weekend in MLS. Everyone gathered in Chicago for a couple of late summer weekdays before the players went back to their teams, ready to continue playing important league games.
The biggest match of the week is the newest NYCFC-New York Red Bulls derby, a match that will not only act as another chapter in the budding rivalry, but also have enough Eastern Conference playoff implications that it would be considered an important matchup regardless of the proximity of the teams.
This week’s preview will focus primarily on that, followed by a close look at the New England Revolution and a journey through a couple of the week’s most interesting contests.
