NYRB dominated away against a Dominican Republic based side 2-0

Sporting Kansas City meanwhile did their best Atlanta United impression and absolutely pounded Toluca 3-0 at home. Largest MLS win over Mexican opposition in CCL history

Atlanta United meanwhile...look like a typical Frank DeBoar coached side. Getting obliterated 2-0 30 minutes in against Costa Rican champs Herediano, they look thoroughly surprised that CONCACAF teams might be actually pretty good at this football thing.

Frank de Boer wont last the season I bet. He played a back 3 which is fine and the players in it were fine but they were completely out of position in the back 3.

Parkhurst, who has the pace of my dead grandma at this point, was played on the left instead of centrally. Miles Robinson, who might be the fastest CB in MLS but also the most positionally unaware, was playing centrally.

As a result, the entire backline was out of sorts and and the 2 center midfielders were out numbered all game. They were a tactical mess.

Normally, I would say its the managers first game and he's still learning the players and their abilities. However, we've seen the deBoer show before. He doesnt have a Plan B in a game or in a season.
