MLS Week 5, Mexicans Abroad: What we learned

Mexicans keep taking over MLS, and one in particular continues to build his early case for the league’s MVP. Here’s what we learned from Week 5.

Matias Almeyda’s miserable start to his MLS career continued, as Carlos Vela and LAFC thumped the San Jose Earthquakes 5-0 on Saturday at Avaya Stadium.

There just seems no stopping the Mexican at the moment, notching a hat-trick to increase his goal tally to six on the season. He seems to really be taking this MVP thing seriously, and coach Bob Bradley has to be delighted from what he is seeing from his captain.
