Bad camera angles, empty stadiums, opponents that didn’t exist until they were forced to — MLS Next Pro has issues. Tacoma Defiance is not one of those issues. The team is good, possibly great at the level. Wade Webber’s side is top of their division and third in the West with a 6-1-1 home record and a 7-4-3(+3), +19 goal differential (tops in the league) on the year. Earning two points a game, only Crew2, North Texas from the much ballyhooed Dallas system, and St Louis’ pre-MLS side are better at the halfway point.
Who has been fueling Defiance’s charge to dominance?
