Who do you really believe in on the East coast?

Spoiler Alert: MLR Round 7
The MLR is set up for every team to finish .500. The little decisions get you above that. Last week, we made no little decisions at all, going 3-3 on the week. That moves us to 14-17 on the year. Still better than Seattle. With that... Byes: Atlanta, Austin, Utah, Houston New England @ San … Continue reading Spoiler Alert: MLR Round 7
Spoiler Alert: MLR Round 6
After a golden sombrero the week before, we got back on track with 5 of 6 correct last week, moving out overall record to 11-16 on the season. Will the 6 games this weekend put us back over .500? Seems unlikely. Anyway... NOLA @ Atlanta This is a tough call. NOLA's loss to Austin comes … Continue reading Spoiler Alert: MLR Round 6
Why MLR Round 6 is so Important
For those of you that have loved the MLR as much as I have over the last few years, you know that 2020 held massive potential. Three new teams entered and all had wins within a few weeks.

Power Rankings: MLR Round 5

Los Angeles Giltinis (Last Week: 1) The Houston scare came after they rested Giteau for the first half. I maintain that this team will lose … Continue reading Power Rankings: MLR Round 5

Eastern Conference https://twitter.com/usmlr/status/1384174403127169031 The late start to the season pushing against the international window left us with only two playoff spots per conference. With all due respect to the new kids, the fact we'll only see two of RUNY, NOLA, and Toronto in the playoffs is a real shame. These three sides are rounding into … Continue reading Tuesday Table: MLR Round 5
3 Things: MLR Round 5
Every week in the MLR provides us with too much information to process over two game days. We’ll be providing 3 immediate takeaways each week. When Will LA Fall? If not for a ten minute outburst with Toronto on a yellow card, the Arrows would’ve pushed LA to the brink last week. This week say … Continue reading 3 Things: MLR Round 5
Spoiler Alert: MLR Round 5
In high school, I had a teacher that said anyone that managed a 0 on a test would get 100 because you can't miss every question on a multiple choice test without knowing what you were doing. Well, we would gotten that 100 last week. Our 0-5 week drops us down to 6-15 on the … Continue reading Spoiler Alert: MLR Round 5

Rugby United New York (LW: 3) They're just doing what they love, and they look like they may be doing it into August. 3. Austin Gilgronis (LW: 7) Austin is … Continue reading MLR Power Rankings: Round 4
