FC Cincinnati rue playoff exit: "The goal was to win the trophy"

FC Cincinnati 's first taste of the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs hardly left them satisfied after Thursday's 1-0 loss at the hands of the Philadelphia Union in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. "The goal wasn't to get to this point, the goal was to win the trophy," Noonan said post-game "Whether people on the outside felt that way or not, once we got into the playoffs that was our goal. That defensive record included a +46 goal difference that saw the Union put together a series of blowout wins and dominant defensive displays throughout the season. There'll be no more games this year for Cincinnati, but 2023 can't come soon enough for their coach. "That'll continue to be our goal and we'll continue working hard to get there."

Daniel Gazdag signing goes “above and beyond” Philadelphia Union’s dreams

Eighteen months ago, Dániel Gazdag was locked into a relegation battle in the Hungarian top flight. He’s only the ninth Hungarian player in MLS history and only the fourth to come directly from a Hungarian club. Gazdag carried a few caps with Hungary’s national team and was about to enter his prime. His debut season in MLS wasn’t bad but wasn’t glittering either, with 4g/5a in 1,337 minutes. He debuted on May 23 off the bench, then immediately had to return to Europe for national team duty.

Can USMNT shock England in World Cup? They must make 3 changes

It’s also safe to say the USMNT will need to be far better and more consistent against England than they were in their tournament opener. The USMNT take on England on Friday (2 pm ET | FOX, Telemundo) at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. According to an analysis performed by Jamon Moore for Backheeled earlier this month, the United States’ defending has been better in this World Cup cycle than it was during the last two. They allowed 0.7 goals per game in this qualifying, compared to 0.8 in 2014 World Cup qualifying and 1.3 in 2018 World Cup qualifying. Against England, defensive solidity will be key.

Your Thursday Kickoff: CCL or bust for Philadelphia Union in 2023?

The Philadelphia Union have acquired Jamaican international defender Damion Lowe in a trade with Inter Miami CF. Unless, of course, you’re the Philadelphia Union. Yeah, they picked up a Supporters’ Shield title in 2020, but they’ve been creeping closer and closer to MLS Cup for the last few years. However, as far as MLS teams go, they should be the most prepared to make a run. Their starting lineup from MLS Cup 2022 could look a lot like their starting lineup on opening day of 2023.

LA Galaxy find "big step forward" in 2022 despite El Trafico heartbreak

“I think we’ve created a vision now of how we want to play. “We’ve been trying to rebuild the team over the past couple of years and I think we’ve taken big steps forwards over the past couple of years to rebuild this group. But LA Galaxy head coach Greg Vanney entertained retrospective-oriented questions all the same, never one to shy away from deep, honest conversations about his team. “I’ve seen the group kind of grow together as men and the qualities of the group,” said Vanney. “The Galaxy fans have been through the best of days over the years and the worst of days over the years,” Vanney said.

FC Dallas proud of 2022 strides despite playoff exit at Austin FC

Go back and peruse the preseason prognostications, and it's doubtful you'll find many listing FC Dallas among the favorites in the Western Conference. It came to an end Sunday, as FCD fell 2-1 to rivals Austin FC at Q2 Stadium in the Western Conference Semifinals. But Estevez feels his team can take heart in a campaign that surpassed expectations, and left him with plenty to build on. But it didn't turn out to be a prolonged rebuild, with FC Dallas reaching the Western Conference's upper tier for most of the season, earning the No. "But I think throughout the year I feel very proud of the players and all the staff, all the front office, everyone in the club.

One month out: Canada comforts & concerns as World Cup rapidly approaches

We’re less than a month away from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and Canada are only a couple of weeks out from their pre-tournament friendlies against Bahrain (Nov. 11) and Japan (Nov. 17). Clearly, it’s a much different task to be among several world-class players in a Bayern squad compared to shouldering the burden for Canada at their first men’s World Cup in 36 years. That swiftness and fluidity could aid Canada at the World Cup, especially with Tajon Buchanan or Junior Hoilett underlapping or overlapping with Johnston to provide an additional threat. Hutchinson, who could become the second-oldest outfield player in World Cup history at 39 years old, has not played a competitive match since June due to a pre-season bone bruise. Ideally, the veteran will orchestrate games from deep-lying areas and help Canada build confidently from the back without any trepidation.

'Dre Day: Blake's heroics lead Philadelphia Union into Eastern Final

After the Philadelphia Union ’s 1-0 win over FC Cincinnati in the Eastern Conference Semifinals Thursday, Blake manned the big ol’ bass drum at midfield. Thanks to Blake and that group – including Defender of the Year Jakob Glesnes – the Union, the East’s top seed, are advancing. “Leon does so much that doesn’t show up on the statsheet for this club, this team,” Curtin said. The 21-year-old has appeared in every single Union MLS game since he was signed, starting all but four of the 68. The Union dealt with a rash of players placed in health and safety protocols last year in the days leading up to the game.
