Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi will debut for Toronto today. They seem too good for the league so I’m curious to see how this goes.

Toronto went up 4-0 by halftime with a goal and assist from Bernardeschi and an assist from Insigne. They didn’t play the second half.

They beat Charlotte. Even with those two they're one of the worst teams in MLS

I happened to visit my Niece in North Carolina in June, and she gave me two tickets for the Charlotte vs NY Red Bulss game. I was pleasantly surprised with the vocal support, the high standard and quality of the play and subsequent result 2-0 to Charlotte. People should not knock the MLS

Does feel like this league has some momentum with names like Beckham and Bale involved and now European players in their prime joining. Been many false dawns with American soccer. But with a World Cup on the horizon as well I think this is the real deal. The financial spin offs of growing popularity of football in America for European clubs would be huge commercially.

The athletic wrote a good article on it. I forgot which team did but they basically called out LAFC for doing something under the table with him. The team have a 2nd year option that would put him as a designated player on insane wages i guess. So some people think that he is getting paid peanuts this year so it makes it up next year or that they are paying him under the table in some way like how inter miami did it

Today should be Bale's home debut. LAFC vs Seattle. It's 2-1 right now, coming up to HT. Hopefully he will come on in the 2nd half.
The ref isn't very tolerant of Chiellini's brand of physicality.
Didn't do much when he came on. A few good touches but the whole team looked tired in the second half, then Vela picked up a knock but had to stay on. He did drop back and defend when necessary though, and LA won 2-1.

I don't want to poo poo the MLS too much but that felt like he only had about a third of the pace of that goal you mention and he still easily got round the defender.
He'll dominate that league.

I’m glad I haven’t spent thousands of dollars to watch Messi play for 30 minutes

Lionel Messi not expected to start as Inter Miami debut takes twist
Lionel Messi is still expected to suit up and play against Cruz Azul, with The Athletic reporting he will likely play the final 30 minutes.

In a competition that no one knows how many teams will actually care to win.
