Week 1 MLS Power Rankings | MLS IS BACK

[@thehutch1674]

Timbers are pretty set at center back. McGraw and K. Miller are the starters, but Zuparic is very good and has been a starter the past several years, so he’s now great depth. Araujo has a decent pedigree. Mabiala sucks but he’s still there, and Eric Miller can also play center back. We have good depth there

[@joemiller7082]

Audio is great. Quality is ramping up!

[@ForesterNB]

I completely agree with the list. Love the breakdown of each club

[@HeronHeads]

Fair enough to have the Crew and Cincinnati as the top dogs. I agree and think that now that we have the pre-season behind us we're going to see a drastically different Inter Miami than the disappointing performances of the pre-season have shown.

[@ZizouZico]

You’re doing the soccer gods’ work, Tom. Great job. As for teams, I have my doubts about Miami’s ability to handle MLS travel with that many key players in their mid-30s without injuries that would keep players out of the playoffs. People always underestimate the effects of this much travel on older players. Every. Single. Year. MLS has more travel than any league (maybe except for Rus when they have teams way east past the Urals, or Brazil when Remo or the like in the far Amazon basin is in Serie A…maybe…MLS still probably has more geographic distribution, even within conferences). We shall see.

I have to mention this as a redbulls fan, we are also getting a healthy Morgan back this year who was our best player two seasons ago which can really help this lackluster offense

[@irl-sikkina8211]

Hi Tom I am a huge fan of your content , just wandering if Petar Musa will start straight away for Dallas ??

[@edwin6791]

great sentence tom, you're the man. 😂

[@imdoingfine]

I can’t wait to see Miazga ref the two games he’s missing at the beginning of regular season.

[@corbinknedler6559]

Great video Tom!

[@ranks3978]

Fire supporter checking in to see where we stack up and end up catching strays from Nashville's explanation 😅. It hurts to see everyone have so much more success 😢

[@s.w.whisler6531]

Tommy your windbreaker game is off the charts - where you getting these from?

[@HarveyWallbangers2]

Good list. I don't disagree with a lot of these. I'd put Charlotte in the bottom group. I'd put Dallas in the solid group, maybe even the really good group. I'd put Seattle in the Apex contender group.

[@caseellis4061]

Fc Cincinnati has replaced Moreno with Pavel Bucha-Upgrade. They’ve replaced Arias with Luca Orellano who has more ball skill and explosiveness albeit less experienced. This team’s starting 11 is absolutely loaded

[@Poosley]

Unsarcastically- it's insane to me, your top picks. If it wasn't 5:30 in the morning I might elaborate more but I just wanted to offer superficial, shallow impressions.

[@pdxpashun]

Anything on Portland? Multiple sources in Mexico have mentioned the interest in Jonathan Rodriguez.

[@hildeone]

Tom on the thumbnail looking as a character from the 1950s Americana.

[@Forever_weird]

Haven’t had a chance to watch yet but the thumbnail has me thinking why always me

[@lpm4994]

What is asbury park fc? I’m intrigued, I live in Jersey and saw that and was like wtf???

[@itzgusto2496]

Nyrb’s top 5 in vegas MLS cup odds time will tell

[@RBNY95]

Team is consistently in the playoffs so I think that plays into it. Definitely agree that we need to see it because this team could either be great or bad

[@JonathanCLacy]

It's crazy to think how stacked the East is with the top four teams all being there

[@Norien711]

Seriously. The Revs are number 9 on his list, but number 7 in the East based on his rankings. It’s gonna be a scary year to be in the East

[@irl-sikkina8211]

Opinions on Daniel salloi

[@Ohpee]

i have been dreading this. will update after you mention charlotte.

[@Ohpee]

update, im in pain

[@kalmenbarkin5708]

That LAFC DP talk… he means Giroud right?

[@MBowermaster]

My thoughts exactly. Goddamn LA and their ability to attract the handsome players.

[@DevinPosey20]

Great video. Hate that jersey in the background

[@DanielBrubakerFC]

Dallas is a top 5 team in the west even with current injuries.

[@TheSenorAdobe]

still using the old Seattle logo :)

[@brandiwithandi]

Way better mic quality

[@kegger3152]

Let me sum up Tom's description of Miami, "I don't care how bad they've looked, I don't care how old they are, look at all the pretty names!!"

[@jastahl]

I think you could’ve renamed the “multiple signings away” tier “ownership Superfunds” because that’s the common thread to me

[@filipszymaszek1395]

The sounders-lafc playoff game was not won by Danny Bungpile, it was won for lafc by the refs

[@horus2ayiti]

Miami defense structure just scares me. There’s no chemistry there.

[@pugetsoundwaves]

I'm sorry but I'm not remotely sold on Miami. Best team in MLS history based on name power? For sure. But they're all so old and I don't think they're going to physically handle the rigors of an entire MLS season.

[@DinkieDeno]

If you’re a betting man take a look on MGM. They have Orlando city to finish with more points than Miami at +350

[@kegger3152]

@@DinkieDeno Sounds like I need to stop at the sports book, I'd definitely take that bet.

[@myguyTrevorSabo]

East is stacked .. at least on paper

[@Alfredsson14]

It's just me, or you too see your similarity with Matias Coccaro?

[@richardrolsen9003]

Interesting ranking. Colorado and NYFC are overrated at the moment. Could be higher later this season, but too many ifs, and a few signings for each are going to need time to adjust.

[@GloegeLucas]

I win 😅

[@mr.o5501]

Boycott the MLS! Save the Open Cup!!

[@rzains]

I had to skip to the team that I wanted to hear about because you kept hitting the table and the microphone was picking it up making the audio bad. Stop hitting the table next time. I would have watched the whole video otherwise.

[@texhooperhd]

miami will be ass

[@Atlas-zp9nq]

Hmmmm I think you guys like stars over shadow genuine teams. Again, people are give st.louis props but still under selling the city team. My feelings tomorrow 2/20/24 kicks off St. Louis City SC take dominant stance over the western conference and the MLS as a whole
