NO OTHER PLAYER WILL EVER COME CLOSE TO MATCHING his contribution. Libby wants to talk about raul's scoring per game but what sets Vela apart from the rest of the MLS is his assists numbers on top of goals. The greatest player to play in the MLS is a Mexican Wait until he gets injured then I suppose. He was crazy in the first half against us, but damn went M.I.A. in the second half. Him, like Josef, certainly benefits from playing on a great team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit off topic, but my unpopular opinion is that San Jose Earthquakes are the best team in the league. They have the best form of any team at the moment and are a dark horse to challenge LAFC to get to that final I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't bad - but they aren't as good as either of the LA teams, in particular LAFC. If I had to rank the teams in order of who I think is best. I'd go: 1. LAFC 2. Galaxy 3. NYCFC 4. Seattle 5. Atlanta 6. San Jose 7. Philly 8. DC United 9. Minnesota 10. NYRB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRB I don't know, they beat La Galaxy pretty comfortably the other week... Sure they don't have a great squad but Almeyda is a born winner. Best manager in the league bar none.

Bradley is solid, especially for this league, which is why SJ is doing what they are at the moment. The season still has a long way to go, and I don't think SJ will make a run for West, Shield, or Cup, as they are in an impossible division.

Eco 3,008 Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 UPDATED RANKINGS 1. Vela (LAFC) - 23 2. Josef Martinez (ATL) - 20 3. Ibahimovic (LAG) - 16 4. Rossi (LAFC) - 13 5. Kamara (COL) - 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Also, Josef Martinez has scored 15 goals in his last 10 MLS matches. That's insane and more goals than 7 MLS teams have scored during the same period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 And it's definitely just a 3 horse race. 1. Vela (LAFC) 24 Goals 2. J. Martinez (ATL) 21 Goals 3. Ibrahimovic (LAG) 20 Goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still has 25+ goals this season, I despise him but he talks a lot and actually delivers on the field. Something that doesn't work for someone like Vidal.

I feel like you're trying to bait Teso in this, but I wasn't referring to Vidal at all, as I meant Saurez who is likely the biggest ass hat in football.

Well I was comparing Vidal. His attitude reminds me of Zlatan. Difference is the latter delivers after he speaks a load of smack, where as Vidal doesn't.

Best striker in the western hemisphere is between Ibrahimovic and Guerrero. The rest don't really come close. Josef is good but is nowhere near as complete as the 2 mentioned.

I just double checked to see if I was missing anything. Had no idea Vela was playing up top. Fair play to him for adjusting so well. I'd still probably say Guerrero is the best striker in the America's. Vela a very close 2nd. I want to say Ibra third, but Pratto and Gabigol give him a good run for his money.

It’s just an opinion I share with others. Sorry you don’t agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 BTW @Teso dos Bichos I'll answer your question. Vela has 3, Guerrero has 2. Not a big difference innit. On top of that, Paolo is the 5th all time scorer for the Copa America and plays in a league with actual competition. Doesn't change my opinion that it's close between the 2 but your argument is irrelevant on research really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"anyone with common sense" Well, that's that. South America is a clueless continent even though everyone here largely agrees that he's the 4th best striker in South America worldwide. I've even seen Mexicans admit it. Guess they are clueless too, expert Teso is always right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
