New York Red Bulls' Connor Lade Talks Avengers, Tyler Adams, & Pizza

In the modern game, it’s rare to find a player who has been at the one club their whole career. But that’s what Connor Lade is — a one club man. A cult hero of sorts for New York Red Bull fans who see the 29-year-old as the epitome of what their club is: homegrown, committed, proud of his local roots.

Missed Sitters From Dwyer & Ramirez & More From MLS Week 9

After five midweek games, this weekend in MLS was one of the tamer bouts of action of the season so far. There was just one game in which both teams scored multiple goals, though that affair between Sporting Kansas City and the New England Revolution had just about everything. There could have been a couple of more goals this weekend, too, if not for glaring misses from Dom Dwyer and Christian Ramirez.

LAFC Continue Their Dominance In MLS Despite Midweek Defeat

This weekend in MLS featured the Parley jerseys, made by adidas from recycled plastic. It's an interesting idea from the league, but it caused plenty of confusion for fans watching the games. This was the third year of the Parley jerseys, and for the second consecutive year every game featured the two different jerseys. That made it difficult to remember which team was which in any given game, as teams were sometimes wearing unfamiliar colors.

Goalkeeper Blunders, Kaku's Moment Of Madness & More From MLS

Five different players scored two goals in MLS this weekend, highlighted by a pair of goalkeeping gaffes, and ended on an unfortunate note on Sunday night. It was another weekend in which all 24 teams in MLS were in action and another weekend in which Los Angeles FC won. The April favorites to win Supporters Shield this year beat FC Cincinnati 2-0 on Saturday night to get to 19 points from seven games. Carlos Vela scored again, as Bob Bradley's side continues to impress week in and week out.

Big Win On Road Against Red Bulls Changes Outlook For Orlando City

Sometimes in this column, reviewing D.C. United's upcoming opponent's last game, we will focus on tactics, formations, on-the-field aspects that played a factor in the outcome of the previous game. Other times, though, as in this case with Orlando City following a shocking 1-0 win on the road against the New York Red Bulls, we will discuss more of the intangibles. The game last Saturday was a typical grinding MLS game. Not pretty by any stretch of the imagination, but Orlando did just what they needed to do to get their first win of the season.

DCU Expecting Tough Test In Orlando After Lions' Shock Win Over RBNY

Orlando City had an uneven start to their campaign, the first full season under the guidance of head coach James O'Connor. There was a good fight from being down 2-0 at home against New York City FC in the opener, which resulted in a draw. The next weekend, Orlando looked set to win on the road against 10-men Chicago Fire, until a stoppage-time equalizer from CJ Sapong split the points once again. But that gave way to disaster when the Lions imploded on the field in a disastrous 3-1 loss to the Montreal Impact, which was largely self-inflicted.

Zimmerman Blast, Kljestan Winner Against Former Club Highlight MLS Weekend

With the international break drawing plenty of MLS players away from their side, there were only five games on the league schedule this weekend. Fourteen teams had the weekend off, allowing them time to assess where they stood after the first three weeks of an already wild MLS season. For the other 10 teams, there was no such break, and those teams had to deal with international absences and red cards.

Late Deflected Strike From Zardes Gives USMNT 1-0 Win Over Ecuador

Christian Pulisic, Tyler Adams, and Weston McKennie all got their first chance to play for the USA men's national team under Gregg Berhalter on Thursday night, but it was Gyasi Zardes who struck the decisive blow in a 1-0 win over Ecuador. In front of 17442 fans in Orlando, the U.S. controlled possession for the entirety of the game, a contest which saw both sides combine for just six total shots. A draw seemed to be in the cards until the 81st minute, when a shot from range by Zardes took a wicked deflection, looping in over keeper Alexander Dominguez.
