What a week for Morris and the Sounders
With Matchday 5 in the books, we’re starting to see just how chaotic the 2023 MLS season is shaping up to be. Despite the league playing during an international break, there was still a lot of quality soccer that was played and just as many classic MLS moments.
The cream will inevitably rise to the top, but there is still a mix of teams that have both surprised and underperformed, leading to a deliciously unpredictable Supporter's Shield table. With all this chaos, winners and losers emerge every week; here they are after this weekend's slate.For the second time in MLS history, a player scored four goals, all assisted by the same player.
This time, the consequence to this new habit was more than just a few players rolling their eyes. In the dying moments of LA Galaxy’s game against the Portland Timbers, Preston Judd was played through on goal but was clearly offside. Timbers keeper David Bingham was quick off his line since the flag stayed down and ended up injuring his hamstring while clearing the ball.
With all the trade drama surrounding his departure from CF Montreal and the Chicago Fire’s difficult start to the season, some people may have forgotten that Kei Kamara is one of the greatest to ever do it in MLS. In stoppage time, on the road, and all tied up at two, Kamara did what he does best, coming up clutch once again and scoring for his league record 10th team. The goal was also the 140th of his career, moving him to within five of second-placed Landon Donovan on the all-time list.
The Eastern Conference is a bloodbath right now and it’s absolutely awesome. No team is safe because everybody is beating everybody, which could lead to an amazing playoff race should this level of competition continue. Even by MLS standards — which have been known to be unabashedly chaotic — the East is unpredictable.
