1 day agoMLS Power Rankings: East leaders Nashville continue to rise up
Vancouver Whitecaps lead MLS Power Rankings after a strong performance, while LAFC struggles with consecutive defeats.
The Chicago Cubs have now won five games in a row, all supported by the third best run differential (+30) in Major League Baseball. They remain in fourth place of the NL Central, because pretty much every other team is playing hot right now, too.
We always want to face the best opponents, and a D.C. United with Tai Baribo is certainly a force to be reckoned with. We are preparing and planning accordingly, but we cannot control what we cannot control.
The calendar shift is one of the most important decisions in our history. Aligning our schedule with the world's top leagues will strengthen our clubs' global competitiveness, create better opportunities in the transfer market, and ensure our Audi MLS Cup Playoffs take center stage without interruption. It marks the start of a new era for our league and for soccer in North America.
We are going to try again. I'm not sure when. We have to bring it up at the right time. I don't think it will cause damage. We are talking about one match out of 380 in a season. European soccer's big leagues have benefited from fans all over the world, with broadcast rights sold for billions of dollars globally.
