Boss’ Breakdown – 2016 Round 2

Round 2 is over and although we thought we had an idea of how these matches would play out, we couldn’t have been more wrong. The offenses in LA, Dallas, and New England ceased to exist while the defenses of DC, Colorado, and Houston became stalwarts. (#becauseMLS) The topsy-turvy league still provided lots of entertainment so if you missed anything, …

MLS Fantasy Review Round 14 (Part 2)

  Seattle Sounders 0 vs. Sporting Kansas City 1 Highlights Well….. I’ll keep this short since I’m a Sounders fan and run the risk of ranting for 5 pages. This game was some BS from the offside call on Neagle to the penalty on Seattle. The Sounders were missing their two star players among others and still deserved to beat SKC. …

  DC United 3 vs. Chicago Fire 1 Highlights The Chicago Fire looked very promising early on with an attack being led by Shipp (because of Maloney’s Int’l duty absence) and Accam. The two linked up well early on and it eventually resulted in a Fire goal with mounting momentum. However, DC United managed to quell it and Espindola came on early …

  Colorado Rapids 1 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps 0 Highlights Phew that was close. The Rapids almost had a second straight game called due to storm warnings and lightning. However all that was signaling was the Rapids first home win in something like 302 days. That’s surprising giving the number of shutouts the Rapids put up in the beginning weeks of …

    New England Revolution 2 vs. Sporting Kansas City 4 Highlights The Revolution pulled ahead early and looked to unload a beating on a injury riddled SKC side, however the game turned in favor of SKC in the second half and the Revolution couldn’t find their way back into the game. The likes Agudelo and Davies made their mark, …

Houston Dynamo 3 vs. Portland Timbers 1 Highlights The game wasn’t exactly a shootout despite the score and for most of the game we watched Portland possess in their own half and Dynamo get the occasional counter. However, the counter works wonders for the Dynamo when you have speedy fullbacks and a guy like Giles Barnes wreaking havoc on for …

DC United 2 vs. Orlando City SC 1 Highlights Orlando City started on the offensive putting on some good pressure, getting an early goal through Cyle Larin. However, DC United found their form in the second half and pulled 2 back while suppressing the Orlando attack. The lineups were a bit interesting for fantasy owners given Rolfe was starting on …

DC United 1 vs. Sporting Kansas City 1 Highlights DC United managed a mere 2 shots on goal without Espindola, despite controlling 55% of possession. Sporting Kansas City’s goal came through Dom Dwyer on a great finish that surely boosted the goal scorer’s confidence. Feilhaber probably had one of his worst games all season, but still managed 4 points. The …

Houston Dynamo 0 vs. San Jose Earthquakes 1 Highlights It ended low scoring the way a lot of people expected it to go. Wondolowski seems to have become a non-factor and the only goal came off of a MPG free kick to a towering Adam Jahn who was only in the game because of Innocent’s absence.  The DGW wasn’t in …
