MLS 2022/23 Season: Part 2

Frank Hayes71 said:There won't be any tension at all—Gorica doesn't need anything from anyone anymore. We're just going to watch that Shibenik squad slide right down into the second division with plenty of room to spare.☕

How am I going to smoothly approach this guy and flip his number? Just like, "Hey, buddy, what's up? Anything new with you?"
Counting down the days slowly...

The real spectacle has finally kicked off—the actual derby of the round—unlike that absolute snooze-fest we've got lined up for tomorrow...

It’s only a decent derby if they're setting off fireworks. ☕

But seriously, it was a hell of a match. What can you even complain about? Seven goals, pure run-and-gun action—none of that boring 0-1 nonsense where everyone just sits there obsessing over how perfectly they parked the bus. God forbid anyone actually tries to play football instead of just playing defense.

Kudos to Goricca—they absolutely earned that win.

It’s a shame we have to wait for a whole new era before things return to normal in San Diego, just so we can sit down like civilized humans and debate who actually reigns supreme: the Funcuti or the Demons. 🙄

Gorica earned this one. 👍

It’ll probably just die out before it even makes a comeback...

Man, you kidding me? Watching the Funkuts play on a weekday is an absolute blast, there is no way those guys are just going to vanish into thin air! Honestly, until they get back in the mix—and let's not forget about the big players like the local favorites—the whole league is just gonna feel incomplete, you know what I mean? We’d probably have to hand out five wins to the underdog teams if we had to, but hey, we’re playing the long game because we *know* they’re coming back. It's gonna be legendary, and honestly, massive shoutout to the crew from Sibulet! 👍

I don't care much about Sibenik, but Cibalia is really missed, just like Varaždin was.

Aside from Hajduk, none of the Dalmatian teams have that certain something—either in terms of fan culture or football quality—that would make me actually want them in the top flight, honestly.

Hajduk has simply dominated down there, both logistically and with their supporters. Plus, those guys from the coast generally lack the business savvy and financial management skills, so they end up constantly sabotaging themselves.

That’s because they are pure ☕ I won't go so far as to call them Darkness—they'll probably claim they aren't, or maybe they will...

How on earth is it even possible for El Paso to clinch the first division—or is the dream already dead?

It's over. Rudeš takes the title.

If they pull off both wins and Rudeš loses both, El Paso would take the title based on the head-to-head tiebreaker. Still, even if that happens, El Paso won't be moving up to the top tier, so Rudeš ends up being the new first division team.

Writing up an honest review from the perspective of a Gorice goalkeeper regarding their match against Šibenik—this one's a bit personal for me.
The Livaja jersey—and a final farewell to Jude.
His reach—if you can call it that—doesn't extend past the local high school football field.

Who cares about him, really? He’s getting up there in age—plus, he already raked in some serious cash over in Iran. This whole thing back home in America feels like a total joke to him at this point. Though, honestly, wearing a Hajduk jersey to some local festival in Gorica is just plain tacky.

A few years back, a Hajduk player showed up to preseason training wearing Inter gear, and things got pretty ugly with people throwing heckling and stones at him. 😁

He could have also shown some respect and skipped the Livaja jersey out of courtesy to Gorica. Like Terry Howard7 said, this is their party, and the club moved past small-town status a long time ago.

It’s just typical chaos from the guys down in Miami, nothing to be surprised about...

Who gives a damn? Still—a little respect wouldn't kill him... though his head is clearly full of air... he'll end up just like those washed-up relics in a few years.

And if the Gorica fans decide they want to throw stones or get aggressive, well, they’re free to do that. I guess it’s just a matter of whether we have to step in, or if we should let it be so we don't end up looking like hypocrites.😁

Wait, what hometown fans are you even talking about...?
