Wish the LA game was on the Univision Facebook for the inevitable orgasm the commentator would've had on that GDS goal.
I mean, listen to this gold.

US U20s rally to a 3-3 draw with Ecuador in their opening game from the U20 WC. Highlights here.
No, no it wasn't. Getting increasingly worried about this team, and Chara... man... what the FUCK were you thinking?

it was a good sell by Piatti, but yeah... dumb move
23-man rosters for tomorrow's Canadian Championship:
Montreal Impact:
Goalkeepers (3): Evan Bush, Maxime Crépeau, Eric Kronberg
Defenders (7): Ambroise Oyongo, Hassoun Camara, Laurent Ciman, Chris Duvall, Kyle Fisher, Wandrille Lefèvre, Daniel Lovitz
Midfielders (10): Adrián Arregui, Hernán Bernardello, Patrice Bernier, David Choinière, Blerim Dzemaili, Calum Mallace, Ignacio Piatti, Michael Salazar, Shamit Shome, Ballou Tabla
Forwards (3): Nick DePuy, Anthony Jackson-Hamel, Dominic Oduro
Vancouver Whitecaps:
Goalkeepers (2): Sean Melvin*, Spencer Richey
Defenders (6): Marcel de Jong, Sem de Wit*, Jake Nerwinski, Tim Parker, Cole Seiler, Deklan Wynne*
Midfielders (11): Matthew Baldisimo*, Marco Bustos, Alphonso Davies, Matías Laba, Ben McKendry, Nicolás Mezquida, David Norman Jr.*, Mauro Rosales, Tony Tchani, Cristian Techera, Russell Teibert
Forwards (4): Gloire Amanda*, Kyle Greig, Fredy Montero, Brek Shea
*WFC2 call-up
My initial reaction is that Montreal are bringing, pretty much, their A team, whereas the Whitecaps are without regular starters such as Andrew Jacobson, Kendall Waston, Sheanon Williams, Jordan Harvey, and Christian Bolanos. It gives guys like Nerwinski, Seiler, Teibert, McKendry, Mezquida, Shea, and Amanda more game time though, which is a positive. And it's always great to have an opportunity to watch Alphonso Davies more often
.
Will edit this once TFC and Ottawa announce their lineups.

It get it, and can appreciate it, or I would more if the nice looking art wasn't covered up by some shitty generic tag.

This has all been so poor. Yikes.
What the hell kind of defending was that?

None of these bums deserve to be on the first team. Endoh and Cheyrou are the only decent players tonight.
Poor performance from TFC tonight, but at least you guys have the away goal.
I fully expect TFC to clean up in the second leg.
EDIT: Starting 11s for the Whitecaps v Impact game:
VWFC subs:
40.Sean Melvin, 32.Marco Bustos, 42.David Norman Jr., 47.Kyle Greig, 54.Gloire Amanda, 62.Deklan Wynne, 65.Matthew Baldisimo
Great to see a lot of WFC2 players in the 18 man squad. Hopefully we'll get to see Gloire Amanda play some minutes (fun fact: Amanda and Davies both played together in the same academy in Edmonton).

A few different places saying that Zelalem did his ACL during the U20 WC. That'll be 6-9 months out for him and a major setback in a career that's stalled out lately anyway. His Arsenal contract is up in June, too, so I'm not sure where he'll head next.

I'd like to see an MLS team make a gamble on him.

Between the shooting stars video and this, the Galaxy social media team has been killing it.

Not for the time being obviously. Could see the Galaxy signing him in the January 2018 transfer window though, as they've been linked the most with Zlatan.
He tore his ACL and will be out for the rest of 2017. His injury is aligned perfectly with starting the next MLS season though so it would make sense to see him join a team.

US U20's won 1-0 over Senegal this morning in the U20 WC. Nice goal from Josh Sargent. He's been playing well this tournament and apparently has a deal in place to move to Werder Bremen over the Summer.
That turn by Sargent is so good, man.
Obligatory "fuck Seattle" for rivalry week.
Real talk though, the USOC scheduling for this is awful. I think this is the third year in a row we've gotten to play Seattle for our first game, and it's at Starfire, AGAIN. This shit has got to change.
We play Seattle 3 times in the next month. That's absurd. That doesn't help a rivalry. I can't get as fired up about each game knowing that we're playing them SO much.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, Dave's opinion, man
A more established club who has everything but a goalscorer might shell it out, but no way does an expansion side pay out that much.
That makes our first 4-game win streak in five years.
Hahahaha*sobs*hahaha this fucking club!
You guys deserve some good fortune after all this time.
On the other hand, apparently despite how NYRB is playing they've managed to pull more points at this season than any of the last 7. Go figure.
They saved up for the game against their intra-conference rival, rather than playing their top players in a midweek away game at a team outside their conference.
Makes sense.

welcome to the 4 game win streak club!
Chicago Fire and Philadelphia Union. Who'd've thunk they'd be the two lol.
Pereja always does this kind of shit. He did it last year a few times. Played the B team against Seattle - in Seattle and lost (shockingly) 3 - 0.
Pereja himself wasn't even at the game against Chicago.
I too added the same 3 lol. Should've seen it coming.
Edit: actually, I went with Hedges and not JGon.
They're professionals. Why not play them both games?! I'm so confused by how often this shit happens in MLS.. but at a minimum, I thought I was safe to play the damn goalkeeper.
