CONCACAFfing has already begun and opening weekend is imminent! How's 2021 going to shape up? Will a Cascadia team finagle their way back to the final against one of TOR/COL/ATL? Will LAFC finally break through? Austin has a team! That's neat!

2021 Predictions:

Supporters Shield: Atlanta - I feel like theyve reloaded and hired well after their 2020 debacle of a season and have a pretty decent schedule. Columbus could also take it here.

MLS Cup: Columbus - i had already typed up about how if Vela stayed healthy LAFC should be the favorite, but then i looked at CLB's roster and had forgotten that in addition to having Zelarayan and Zardes (the Killer Z's?) theyve added Bradley Wright Phillips to the mix. Add in the fact that Nagbe is still anchoring that midfield and that's a dang spicy lineup that can make some serious noise. Seriously though, Zerarayan is electric and fun to watch, so long as it's not watching him shred your team during MLS Cup Final //sobs

Golden Boot: Vela

US Open Cup: is there gonna be one this year? if so, give me the Revs. I dunno.

All 5 MLS teams made it to the CONCACAF quarterfinals, not sure what the pairings are but we're at least guaranteed one team in the semis, so that's fun.

Opening Day!

Quakes @ Dynamo @ 7!

Loons @ Sounders! @ 830!

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

Here we go.

Also anyone know when Austin's stadium supposed to be done. Noticed they're playing straight road games for awhile

Woof neon orange, pink and green on my screen at the same time.

Also looks like SJ have a dislocated shoulder 5 minutes in

That was bizarre. Dynamo look dangerous early.

Loons and Sounders providing some good action

WHAT A ROCKET

Here's Paul Marie's wicked shot from earlier:

Fredy! Welcome home buddy.

DC with two really nice goals

Nashville equalizes from a different ZIP code

HOLY BUTT that was awesome.

Also, I love the DC Announcer's "It's in the net!" schtick. its dumb and fun, just like sports are supposed to be.

How does this even happen?

Beckham has never had the league tell him no and figured he could he as cute as he needed to be to build his roster. They'll probably get penalized some GAM/TAM, which I'm sure would hurt, but I really want to see them lose DP slots.

As do I. Offsides is so the attacker does not gain an advantage. If you are off by an inch you don't gain an advantage.

Saturday Game Day!

NYC hang 5 on Cincinnati. It's still dumb to play soccer in Yankees Stadium.
Nashville make an 0-2 comeback to draw Montreal.

Some good matches later tonight.

So pumped to be back in person tonight watching the Loons vs RSL

Vancouver comeback from 0-1 to go up 2-1 on Toronto on 71 minutes. Bradley and Altidore, where you at?

LAFC score a freekick under the wall. Don't see that too often.

1-0 after only 2 minutes.

Should have had the lying down dude under there.

Crazy amount of set piece goals today

Three games into their inaugural season, Austin FC have as many away wins as the Chicago Fire have had in six out of their last seven seasons. (From Reddit)

The Dallas Houston match isn't on espn+? Am I missing something?

Do you even Twitter, bro?

Sometimes I wonder if sports are purposefully making it harder to be a fan

We’re underway in Frisco. Here is the link to the stream #DALvHOU https://t.co/4UD7VSFe8b

Nothing I love more than having my phone hijacked by a sporting event

Or watch in Spanish, which is usually more entertaining that the English commentators anyway

Who thought playing red vs orange was a good idea??

I'm amazed that with everything being about TV money these days that we still get jersey clashes that don't look good on TV. Just make away wear white...so simple.

But then again, this game is on Twitter.
