Episode 8 - Conference Semifinals

Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Super Soccer Ian. During the playoffs, we had some big wins and eliminations. The MLS Cup finals are not far away! This year, it’s been pretty close in terms of who’s going to win the cup. Now, let’s take a look at the recent scores and results.

We’ll start with the first matchup between Sporting KC and the New England Revolution, which the Revs won 2-1 at home. The Seattle Sounders hosted their biggest rival, the Portland Timbers, and the Timbers won 2-1. Houston and New York tied 2-2 at BBVA Compass Stadium, and the LA Galaxy won at home 1-0 over Real Salt Lake. Moving on to the next weekend, the Houston Dynamo won 2-1 against the New York Red Bulls, eliminating the Red Bulls. Sporting KC won 3-1 against the New England Revolution, eliminating the Revs. Real Salt Lake won 2-0 in overtime against the LA Galaxy and The Portland Timbers beat the Seattle Sounders  3-2 in an exciting game. The two upcoming matchups will be the conference finals. The Houston Dynamo will host Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake will host the Portland Timbers. Those are the scores and the upcoming matchups. Now, let’s take a look at the MLS Fantasy picks for this upcoming round. 

In the games coming up, you should probably choose the majority of the players on your team from the home teams playing. I think that somebody like Giles Barnes, Will Bruin or Corey Ashe might me good. If you wanted somebody on Sporting KC, then I suggest that you get somebody like Aurélien Collin, Graham Zusi, or Claudio Bieler. The only other matchup this upcoming round will be the game when Real Salt Lake hosts the Portland Timbers. I think that somebody like Nick Rimando, Javier Morales, or Álvaro Saborío would be good. If you wanted somebody on the Portland Timbers, which I don’t recommend, then I would maybe choose Diego Valeri, Rodney Wallace, Pa-Modou Kah, or Darlington Nagbe. Those are my MLS Fantasy picks for this upcoming round, and that’s all for today, folks! Good luck with your MLS Fantasy and I’ll be back after the next round for another episode of Super Soccer Ian. Thanks for listening and have a great day!
