Week 2 is in the books. Lots of draws, which isn’t unusual for early in the season — home teams generally aren’t crisp enough to impose their will until about Week 7 or so, which is when the percentage of home team wins traditionally increases.

Same as last week, none of this is my fault. Multiple MLS writers and voices voted in these rankings. I did not make them. However, Andrew Wiebe, Matt Doyle and some special guests, including yours truly had some hot debates over on Twitter Spaces.

The new season has begun. As is usually the case in MLS, home teams fared pretty well. Nobody, of course, fared better than the Sounders. Let’s start there:

This was supposed to be a pretty straightforward piece, a spring #content perennial: Which of Major League Soccer’s two conferences are the stronger and more competitive? West is best, or beastly East? Last year I gave the West side a narrow edge, though eventual MLS Cup victors Columbus Crew SC

As is now tradition, I'm starting the year with a tip of the cap to the great Zach Lowe for the inspiration, courtesy of his Annual Tiers of the NBA opus, to write this piece. What follows are not hard-and-fast Power Rankings, per se, but rather something a little more

One of the effects of 2020's compressed schedule was that managers had to go further down their benches to find players who could contribute in the midst of heavy squad rotation. One of the silver linings to come of that was the number of players who, instead of crumbling, thrived
