Not a lot of action at the top, but movement in the middle. After every team playing at least four games, we're seeing these teams for what they are. 1. 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

Tuesday Table: 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

Spoiler Alert: MLR Round 4
A 1-3 week put us in our place a bit. The unpredictability of this league never ends. That moves us to 6-10 on the year. A perfect week would put us above .500, but the odds for that are as good a Houston win (Spoiler Alert spoiler alert). Byes: Free Jacks, Old Glory Arrows v. … Continue reading Spoiler Alert: MLR Round 4
MLR Power Rankings: Round 3
An abbreviated Round 3 left us with some teams moving toward our expectations, while others still look off. Four teams spent the weekend with their feet kicked up, giving us no new knowledge. 1. Los Angeles Giltinis (Last Week: 1) There's no reason to doubt the last unbeaten team. They had a bye in Round … Continue reading MLR Power Rankings: Round 3

3 Things: Round 3
What’s Wrong with Houston? The SaberCats do not have a bad roster. It’s easy to say it’s still early. But two consecutive blowout shut outs have Houston reeling. How does a franchise with a history of winning its opener before falling apart put the pieces back together? We’re three weeks in. There’s 13 left to … Continue reading 3 Things: Round 3
