In what can only be described as a whirlwind couple of weeks in Major League Soccer, the drama and excitement have been at an all-time high. From surprising performances to unexpected twists and turns, the league has truly seen it all.
One team that has been making waves is Inter Miami, who have been outperforming their underlying numbers and turning heads with their strong play on the field. On the other hand, the New York Red Bulls have been struggling to live up to expectations, underperforming their underlying numbers and leaving fans scratching their heads.
But the real highlight of the weekend was undoubtedly El Tráfico, which provided the most entertaining game of the week. The back-and-forth action, dramatic moments, and thrilling goals made it a spectacle to remember. It was a week unlike any other in MLS.
As for the Columbus Crew, it has been a strange stretch for the team. They suffered a tough defeat at the hands of Seattle, where a series of events led to defender Sean Zawadzki stepping in as a goalkeeper for the final 45 minutes of the match. Seattle took advantage of the situation and secured a convincing 4-0 win.
Following that disappointing loss, Columbus managed a lackluster 0-0 draw against FC Cincinnati that failed to live up to the hype. Despite the setback, they are only two points behind Cincinnati for second place in the East with a game in hand. It may not be ideal, but it could certainly be worse. Nonetheless, it has been an odd blip in what has otherwise been a stellar season for the Crew.
And just when things couldn’t get any more interesting, “So this guy is back,” a mysterious statement that has left fans buzzing with speculation. Who could this mystery player be? What impact will they have on the league? Only time will tell as the drama continues to unfold in MLS.
