Jesus.  I just watched 3 minutes of that and turned it off.  The Impact look like a tired U13 team out there.  That was painful to watch.

They have no squad depth, Henry doesn't make many subs and they've played a lot lately it's somewhat understandable why they're looking tired.

[Gian-Luca 3,518]

NE win 3-1. Didn't see any Canadian subs either way. Tajon assisted on NE's third goal

[Gian-Luca 3,518]

Osorio, Laryea and Akinola start for TFC against NYCFC. Nelson and Shaffelburg on the bench. Fraser still out injured, Okello not dressed even though they could really use him with Fraser, Bradley and now Delgado injured.

Camera appears to be positioned 600 yards from the stadium

[Gian-Luca 3,518]

St. Clair starts for Minnesota vs. Columbus, Edwards and Hamilton on the bench

The MLS website has Tajon as their MOTM.

[Gian-Luca 3,518]

Akindele starts and scores for Orlando with Kamal on the bench against SKC.

[Gian-Luca 3,518]

Edwards comes on in the 2nd half and is credited with another assist for Minnesota as they pull one back but lose 2-1. Hamilton didn't make it off the bench. St. Clair credited with 3 saves.

[Gian-Luca 3,518]

Chapman on in the 65th minute for Miami against NYRB. Johnston starting for Nashville against DC.

Lots of Canucks seeing action tonight and we haven't yet got to LAFC vs. Vancouver.

This is probably the deepest we've been in talent since the early 1980's, the bitter irony being the national team is unable to play any games right now.

[Trois Reds 203]

Hasal is out for the Whitecaps because of the Beckerman kick.  Hope it isn't long term.

[BuzzAndSting 3,184]

Do we have a record for most Canadians playing in the MLS on a single day? Today would have to be at the top or close.

Just now, Trois Reds said:

I think it would have been sensible to give him a game off at some point, so this might just be the pretext. Hopefully he'll be back for the next one.

Am I wrong, or are the only 2 Americans starting the match both playing for the non-American team?

The Whitecaps hate Canada!!!! Oh wait they used to hate Canada!

I thought “No way, LAFC has to have an American starting” but nope. 6 South Americans, 2 Canadians, 1 Englishman, 1 Ghanaian and 1 Mexican.

Jakovic beats Guttierez to open the scoring, and then Cav almost equalizes.  

[BuzzAndSting 3,184]

Old man Jakovic just schooled the young buck Guitierez on a corner for the first goal!

[Obinna 8,662]

And Jakovic has scored. What a night!
