Or it could just be that Americans have a massive loving Inferiority complex that leads to European names that regular folks don't understand, like Sporting Kansas City and Real Salt Lake

Hey, can we talk about Montreal for a bit? This implosion is both hilarious and horrifying. I'm not certain they'll make the playoffs anymore, since they've plummeted toward the red line into the line of Also Bad Teams like DC / NE / ORL. What the hell happened to them?

Or any team that has FC in its name.

From what I saw of the Impact last night:

Didier Drogba has reverted to just falling down all the time and not actually playing.

Their defending is shambolic, the Red Bulls probably could have had 4 or 5 last night if they could pull their finger out.

Piatti is Potty.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

X City is not exactly one of those Deeply Inscrutable Names, though? Which I guess makes it like methadone for that inferiority complex, where Real Salt Lake is black tar heroin.

-Defensive injuries and absences (Toia in particular, apparently and astonishingly, but also Ciman's time at the Euros back in the summer was unhelpful).

-Drogba's amazing fall 2015 was, in fact, not evidence that he was immortal and MLS defenses would forever be unable to stop him.

-Contrary to appearances Piatti cannot do it all himself.

I wonder if it's still the case that they have better stats and a better record without Drogba compared to with?

I saw the stat and it's some obscene amount of points dropped from winning positions, I think it showed we would still be running away with the race if we got just half the points we dropped.

MSG put a stat up last night, it was something along the lines of the Red Bulls have scored 5 goals in the last 15 minutes of matches and conceded 16 in the same time frame.

The west isn't actually good they just get wins at home vs the east due to the time difference, we've been over this. Overhyped teams, terrible fans, the worst division.

Mercy penalty (but the Galaxy don't look like they're going to score 2 or 3 before full time so whatever).
