LA Galaxy logró rescatar un punto en su visita a Lumen Field, hogar del Seattle Sounders, manteniendo así vivas sus esperanzas de acceder a los playoffs de la MLS. El marcador final fue un 1-1 con no otro que Javier Hernández en el registro de los goleadores.
La conquista, por cierto, también sirvió al mexicano para continuar en la batalla por convertirse en el máximo artillero de la liga.
La MLS se transformó momentáneamente en un SmackDown de la WWE durante el partido que enfrentó a Seattle Sounders con Sporting Kansas City, luego de una brutal agresión del arquero Tim Melia sobre el seleccionado del USMNT, Cristián Roldán. Tanto impacto causó la acción que hasta Dwayne Johnson, La Roca, decidió meter la cuchara.
Después de que el USMNT le ganara dos finales a México -Nations League y Copa Oro- en el pasado verano, el debate sobre cómo las distancias futbolísticas entre ambos países se han acortado suena casi a diario. Y si bien hay argumentos que pueden respaldar la teoría a nivel de selección, estos no aplican a nivel de clubes, ya que las diferencias entre los equipos de Liga MX y la MLS siguen siendo evidentes. Basta ver que los dos finalistas de la Concachampions son mexicanos y ver cómo Club León se convirtió en el campeón de la Leagues Cup, luego de vencer por 3-2 al Seattle Sounders.
Raúl Ruidíaz and Fredy Montero each scored twice, with Ruidíaz netting his Major League Soccer-leading 13th goal of the season, as the Seattle Sounders defeated the host Portland Timbers 6-2 Sunday night.
Jimmy Medranda and Nicolas Benezet also scored, and goalkeeper Stefan Cleveland made seven saves for the Sounders (10-3-6, 36 points), who moved within a point of first-place Sporting Kansas City in the Western Conference. Sebastián Blanco and George Fochive tallied for the Timbers (7-9-2, 23 points).
La era de Miguel Herrera al mando de Tigres tuvo su primera gran prueba internacional y la reprobó con un cero. El equipo felino cayó por 3-0 ante el Seattle Sounders, en los cuartos de final de la Leagues Cup, y evidenció una completa ausencia de fútbol y pundonor.
Earlier this year, I swore off FIFA Ultimate Team. I became sick with the meta of FUT and the feeling of being cheated by the game. But just when I thought I was out, they’re pulling me right back in.
On Friday, Clint Dempsey dropped this little video, announcing he’ll be a part of the FUT Heroes lineup available in FIFA 22 at launch. I will 100 percent buy a game just to play as a fisherman who moonlights as the greatest male soccer player Texas has ever produced.
On Wednesday, Major League Soccer announced its 28-player roster for the 2021 MLS All-Star Game. On Wednesday, Aug. 25, this group will play a highly anticipated match against the Liga MX All-Stars at Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles.
Some of the players have been here before (LAFC’s Carlos Vela, Orlando City’s Nani, Nashville’s Walker Zimmerman), but a number of players have been selected for the first time, including rising stars like San Jose’s Cade Cowell, Dallas’ Ricardo Pepi and New England’s Tajon Buchanan.
Raúl Ruidíaz scored one of the goals of his life against Austin FC on Thursday with an absolute missile from near midfield. Ruidíaz saw Austin’s goalkeeper off his line and made him pay for it with a sumptuous strike. This is one of the best MLS goals of the season.

Any MLS club in Seattle’s shoes gets blown away on Sunday against Minnesota United at Allianz Field.
It’s an away day in mid-July with the temperature at 90 degrees. Minnesota is strong at home and hungry for a first-ever win over the Sounders at the ninth time of asking. Seattle, on the other hand, has nine players listed as “out” and has to call up two players from the Tacoma Defiance reserve team, including 15-year-old Alaskan Obed Vargas.
This is a recipe for disaster in America’s top division.
Kelyn Rowe scored his first goal of the season to break a scoreless tie and the streaking Seattle Sounders made history with a 2-0 victory over the visiting Houston Dynamo on Wednesday night.
The Sounders (8-0-5, 29 points) established a new MLS record of 13 straight unbeaten results to begin a season. The Los Angeles Galaxy (1996, 2010), Kansas City Wizards (2000) and Real Salt Lake (2014) all opened with streaks of 12 undefeated matches.
