The haters can hate, but Major League Soccer can put on a show. And this 2018 MLS skills video the league put out ahead of the 2019 season has it all.
It starts with an elastico. It’s got Cruyff turns, Zidane roulettes, sombreros and nutmegs. So many nutmegs.
Do yourself a favor and spend the 4:33 it takes to watch this video and try not to get too excited about the upcoming 2019 season, which will feature plenty more of Zlatan.
The one downside to this collection of MLS skills and tricks is that you’ll see plenty of Alphonso Davies and Miguel Almiron, both of whom sadly won’t be in MLS in 2019 after transfers to Europe.
But, there was plenty of action from the Colorado Rapids, if that’s your thing. Apparently everyone saved their best moves for when the Rapids were in town.
