MLS is back! Two weeks are already in the books and the league has had some surprises. Sporting Kansas City isn’t good at defense anymore with Peter Vermes abandoning his typical anti-soccer for a leaky backline and desire to score goals while the Columbus Crew still being a really good attacking team despite losing its top two goal scorers from 2017. That’s one thing that makes MLS a kinda fun league to follow though. It has a certain element of being so bad that it’s good - like the film the Departed, but without the sense of humor while being still slightly difficult to watch sometimes - that gives it an endearing quality.
