    As an LAFC fan I completely agree, Oliveira and Kamara are better at LAFC than Giroud. My front 3 is Bouanga, Bogusz, and Oliveira. Kamara is good super-sub.

      @@TheHexSoccerPodcast omg dude stop. He's one of the most classic "number 9's" to ever play the game. You wing crosses at him and he puts them in the back of the net. He's so much that guy that they don't even bother listing his assists on his wikipedia page. He's not a 10 or a 6 or an 8. He's a classic number nine. The reason he was just tearing up La Liga is because when he was at ACM he had Pulisic feeding him. That dude knows how to give good service. Because of that, EVERYONE double and triple covers him in MLS. So he's been playing basically as an inverted Giorgio Chiellini mostly drawing center backs to create space for the wingers and doing god tier hold up play. Not to mention incredible defensive work. Stop making Americans look like they have no idea when it comes to the sport of football. God you make us all look stupid when you say stuff like that. Cut it out.

    Finally! Some real MLS commentary. The MLS commentator dick riding is unbearable. You’re right. I Loved Giroud at Arsenal, and he has a play style that doesn’t match our team. Every time he’s on the field, he sits at the top begging for the ball and throws a fit when he doesn’t get it. Not hustle back on defense, no supporting build up on offense, and not even real runs in behind on counter attacks. Just standing 🧍🏻‍♂️ with the defensive line for 90 minutes hoping he gets a short pass he can one touch into a decent opportunity.

      Sort of fair. He is a finisher, but LAFC aren’t a team built for a poacher like Giroud. And that’s not a knock to him, loved him at Arsenal, and there is a team type that fits him. It’s just not LAFC. Bale was successful with us because he could CREAT OPPORTUNITIES like this guy says!

    The cash grab here is ridiculous and the 3 game format is stupid. Its criminal that Puig and company have to wait so long for their next match. I don't even like the 2 game/aggregate setup. 1 game elimination for football and soccer is enough. Also, the NBA and MLS should be ashamed... there's too many teams in the playoffs/postseason. And I'm an Atlanta fan!

    I appreciate you guys giving Orlando a fair analysis. I dont mind critiques of the team, but it feels like a lot of people look over/down upon Orlando. Hopefully, we can make a good run and put on a show for the playoffs.

    • @TheHexSoccerPodcast
      @TheHexSoccerPodcast 16 днів тому

      There's absolutely no reason to look down on Orlando, they've quietly flown under the radar and would give Miami a VERY close challenge in a one game playoff. Thanks for the comment and give us a sub!

    As a European who enjoys the parody and diverse team range of the MLS, I am genuinly curious about the perspective of an American on this: When Americans say the Supporters Shield doesen't matter because it's an "unbalanced schedule", to me I don't see how a 34 match schedule where you play 18-20/ 28 possible opponwnts is MORE unbalanced than a 18 team cup where you play 4/ 28 possible opponents and it's built in a manner that you realistically only play 1-2 teams that is the same level as yours. As for the MLS playoff Format I feel like I could get more invested in it or live with it as a European if less teams make it (maybe 6-7 teams per conference) and all rounds except the final are best of 3 series. Reason why: 1. Less chances of the CUP being decided by flukes. 2. It would actually feel like each team who makes it earned it as it's less than half the teams in my format (12-14 teams rather than 18) 3 because it's harder to qualify for the playoffs, I can hype myself up by saying the regular season is like qualifying for the Champions League and the MLS playoffs is like the Champions League. Sorry for the lobg message but I enjoy the discourse around this.
