Minnesota United

After clinching MLS playoff berths with regular-season-ending wins on Saturday, CF Montreal and Atlanta United will square off in the Eastern Conference's wild-card match on Tuesday.

Sebastian Berhalter is beginning to appear on the scoresheet, with his latest goal for the Vancouver Whitecaps being his best yet.

Sebastian Berhalter goal vs. Minnesota United

The Berhalters can celebrate something this week, after all.

Sebastian Berhalter, son of USMNT manager Gregg Berhalter, made his mark with Vancouver Whitecaps in their MLS Matchday 21 match against Minnesota United on Wednesday, practically giving his team the three points by scoring the last goal in the 3-1 win at Allianz Field.

The Emanuel Reynoso video of him with stacks of cash and a gunman is the latest chapter in his bizarre time with Minnesota United. His spell with the MLS side is likely to come to an end soon as he’s expected to transfer to Liga MX’s Club Tijuana.

Reynoso has caused problems for opposing defenders with 56 goal contributions in 101 appearances with Minnesota since joining in 2020. He’s caused as much trouble off the field as well with several controversies and suspensions.

The latest Emanuel Reynoso video is just another addition to the collection.

Major League Soccer has become synonym to having some of the biggest soccer stars in the world and the list of their most valuable players shows just how much the league has grown in value over the past decades.

Along with two thrilling Gold Cup semifinals, Wednesday featured a final midweek MLS matchday before teams take a break from interleague play. New signings across the league hit the ground running as the push for the playoffs begins to approach its thrilling climax in a few months. 

The summer transfer window is almost here, and we’re about to see some real changes. There’ll be new faces and some returning aces, but they aren’t allowed to take the field just yet. For now, teams are still struggling with players out on international duty in a stretch that can make or break a team’s season.

Imagine Lionel Messi, getting ready to play with his national team after another grueling yet fruitful season. He’s just come off a legacy-defining World Cup and a Ligue 1 title before shocking the world as he announced his intentions to leave Paris Saint-Germain to join Major League Soccer. 

As we approach the halfway point in the season, destinies become clear. Moments become more important as every point carries increased weight in the race for the postseason. Hosting in the playoffs is great, but winning is better, and many teams have set themselves up for both outcomes after Matchday 17. 

Rivalry Week in MLS is a special time. Chaos wrapped in pandemonium served with a side of unpredictability. The best sides find a way to rise above the volatility, to keep their heads when all about them are losing theirs. Rivalry week separates the wheat from the chaff, and MLS Matchday 14 embodied that.
