Six scorers to watch this MLS season : So Much Sports



1. Gyasi Zardes – Los Angeles Galaxy
From Hawthorne, California, Zardes had a tremendous 2014 season with the LA Galaxy, winning his first MLS title. Young, big and fast, Zardes scored 16 goals and had two assists. He has a little bit of everything: a good shot, speed, some dribbling and quickness. Zardes could have a monster year in 2015 and already showed against Panama that he is a very capable striker for the US National Team. With Landon Donovan having retired Zardes should be able to showcase his scoring ability as one of the top threats up to for the Galaxy.

2. Juan Agudelo – New England Revolution
A native of Columbia but a US citizen, Juan Agudelo first played for the US National team when he was just 17 years old and became the youngest player to score for the senior team. Still incredible young, Agudelo is back in the the MLS after a brief stint with Dutch club FC Utrecht. with the New England Revolution, where in 2013 he scored seven goals in just 14 appearances, Agudelo is trying to prove he can still score. He is a talented player looking to settle in and take his game to the next level of consistency.

3. Kelyn Rowe – New England Revolution
The youngster seems to be the play-maker for the New England Revolution. Though he only scored five goals with five assists last season, his touch and creativity makes him a good alternative and always fun to watch. He is certainly a player to keep an eye on to see what he can do for his club and possibly for the national team in the future.

I suspect that's accurate.

I'm surprised. Everyone became such a big soccer fan last summer. Watch parties and all. I thought they would stick with it, especially the yuppies.

Ultimately, people can only pretend to like something for so long. Life's just too short.

 

[JackReacher]

I think "everyone" -- whatever that means -- became big World Cup fans last summer.

 

[Dick Whitman]

They definitely became really big fans of taking the opportunity to show how worldly and sophisticated they were.

 

[YankeeFan]

Are there people outside of Seattle who follow the MLS?

 

[JackReacher]

They definitely became really big fans of taking the opportunity to show how worldly and sophisticated they were.

That's fair. Plenty of that to be sure. But others enjoyed the event for what it was. It was just fun to watch. And really fun to gamble on.

Mls is still a baby league but is growing for sure.

 

[YankeeFan]

MLS is an adult who can't afford to move out of its parent's house, and doesn't contribute to the household finances.

 

[Dick Whitman]

His sister, the WNBA, won't leave, either.

 

[Dick Whitman]

There's no way that first guy listed is 'Merican.

 

[YankeeFan]

His sister, the WNBA, won't leave, either.

She's an old maid. She'll never hold down a steady job, or get married.

She's dying in that house.

 

[Ruben Rivas]

Yeah MLS has 20 teams and growing... numbers are going up in revenue, ratings, attendances, interest...

Zardes is born and raised in Los Angeles.

She's an old maid. She'll never hold down a steady job, or get married.

She's dying in that house.

Why won't the WNBA get married? It's legal now in most states!

Baseball haters, u mad bro?

Baseball haters, u mad bro?

An odd thing to say considering baseball hasn't been discussed on this thread.

 

[Ruben Rivas]

Hahaha I never though it was going to become a soccer hater thread.

Soccer made it and it will only get bigger in America, may as well learn to live with it.

 

[LongTimeListener]

I don't think so, price of oranges has gone up dramatically and that will affect soccer's price points.

 

[SnarkShark]

Hahaha I never though it was going to become a soccer hater thread.

Soccer made it and it will only get bigger in America, may as well learn to live with it.

This sentiment, essentially, has been stated for around 40 years.

The World Cup was great. I am solidly a World Cup fan. But this country still doesn't care about the sport in general.

The USNMT coach doesn't even like it. Why should I?
