In <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-schedule-in-2022-dates-of-the-national-soccer-team-games-this-year-20220114-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mexico</strong></a>, the decision would have been made by <strong>Gerardo Martino</strong> and would not favor two fans’ favorites: <strong>Javier <em>Chicharito</em> Hernandez</strong> and <strong>Marcelo Flores</strong>.</p>
<p><em>Chicharito</em> is one of the biggest names in the history of the Mexico National Team. He is simply the current top scorer in the history of<em> El Tri</em> with 52 goals. He is also one of the two players who have scored the most goals with the Mexican jersey in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/Qatar-2022-The-non-World-Cup-match-that-prevented-Lionel-Messi-and-Argentina-to-open-Lusail-Stadium-20220719-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the FIFA World Cup</a> (4 goals in 3 editions played).</p>
<p>For his part, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-non-mexican-born-youngsters-who-could-be-the-future-of-el-tri-after-qatar-2022-world-cup-20220519-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marcelo Flores</a> is destined to be the future of the Mexico National Team. At the age of 18, he is one of the most promising young players in this country, a condition that is supported by the fact that he has been trained in one of the most brilliant youth academies in world soccer, <strong>Arsenal FC</strong>, to arrive on loan as the star signing of <strong>Real Oviedo</strong> in Spain’s second division for the 2022-2023 season.</p>
<h2>Who would be in Mexico’s squad for Qatar 2022 in place of Chicharito Hernandez and Marcelo Flores?</h2>
<p>Unfortunately for the LA Galaxy striker and wonderkid Flores, Mexico’s manager would not consider them to occupy one of the 26 spots on the roster that will defend the pride of <em>El Tri</em> at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-which-is-the-best-starting-xi-of-Mexico-for-the-fifa-world-cup-20220718-0040.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the upcoming FIFA World Cup</a>, according to information from <em>TUDN</em> insider <em>Gibran Araige</em>.</p>
<p>Thus, the report revealed by the journalist indicates that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-gets-hard-hit-from-argentinian-media-after-tata-martino-polemic-photo-with-lionel-scaloni-20220719-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Tata</em> Martino</a> would have kept his word to talk to <em>Chicharito</em>, who would have expressed his apologies for the indiscipline he had in 2019, which kept him away from the Mexico National Team. The gesture would have been well received by the Argentine coach but would not lead him to consider him ahead of English <strong>Wolverhampton</strong> star <strong>Raúl Jimenez</strong>, <strong>Monterrey</strong> striker <strong>Rogelio Funes Mori</strong>, and those fighting for the last place in the attack <strong>Henry Martin</strong>, from <strong>América</strong>, and <strong>Santiago Gimenez</strong>, from <strong>Cruz Azul</strong>.</p>
<p>As for Marcelo Flores, his place as a winger in Martino’s 4-3-3 Mexico would go to the likes of <strong>Jesus Corona and Hirving Lozano</strong>, undisputed starters, and<strong>Chivas</strong>‘ <strong>Alexis Vega</strong>, their usualsubstitute. And the fact is that the current Real Oviedo player still seems too young to the current manager of <em>El Tri</em> to entrust him with the responsibility of playing in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-messi-and-ronaldo-out-of-the-15-most-expensive-players-who-could-be-in-the-world-cup--20220716-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022</a>.</p>

Qatar 2022: Players who would play the World Cup for Mexico instead of Chicharito and Marcelo Flores

Qatar 2022: Players who would play the World Cup for Mexico instead of Chicharito and Marcelo Flores - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/gareth-bale-finds-new-club-in-mls-lafc-20220625-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Football Club </strong>and <strong>Gareth Bale</strong></a> shocked the soccer world when the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Top-10-MLS-goal-scorers-in-2022-updated-20220521-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>MLS</strong></a><b></b>club announced the signing of the 32-year-old Welshman on June 25. Bale had become a free agent after not renewing his contract with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/after-vinicius-junior-real-madrid-looking-to-upgrade-another-player-with-1b-release-clause-20220625-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Real Madrid</strong></a> and needed to sign for a team to arrive in good condition for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-when-do-the-top-5-european-leagues-start-and-stop-their-2022-2023-season-due-to-the-next-fifa-world-cup-20220625-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Qatar 2022 World Cup</strong></a>.</p>
<p>At the start of June, while on international duty, the forward said that he was hoping to get regular playing time so that he could improve his match sharpness. Bale’s last seasons in the Spanish team were not the best, he had scarce participation in the team (in the 2021-2022 season, he played only 7 games), but his hierarchy is undisputed.</p>
<p>There is no doubt that the signing of Bale will give a new leap in quality to MLS. The 32-year-old signed a 12-month contract and will have a salary of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/gareth-bale-lafc-salary-per-hour-day-week-month-and-year-20220626-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>1.6 million euros</strong></a>, much less than what he earned playing for Real Madrid, where he earned 12 million euros net per year.</p>
<h2>Gareth Bale´ssalary compared to MLS stars</h2>
<p>It is believed that the highest-earning player in MLS will be <strong>Lorenzo Insigne</strong>. The Italian signed a contract with <strong>Toronto FC</strong> but has not yet been officially presented. The 31-year-old player will have a salary of 11.5 million euros per year. While Bale, with his €1.6 million salary, does not make the Top 10 of the highest paid MLS players.</p>
<h2>10 – Carles Gil</h2>

<p>To ensure that the <em>Albiceleste</em> do not hurt Mexico’s honor again, Tecatito is clear that <strong><em>Tata</em> Martino</strong> must not do without the best weapons available to him. That is when he revealed which player Mexico would need to be able to aspire to compete with guarantees against Argentina in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-what-is-the-hayya-card-how-do-I-get-it-and-how-will-it-help-me-at-the-fifa-world-cup-20220412-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>the upcoming FIFA World Cup.</strong></a></p>
<p>Corona is currently one of <em>El Tr</em>i’s most important players, along with <strong>Raúl Jiménez</strong> and <strong>Hirving Lozano. </strong>He has earned this thanks to his good performances in <strong>Porto of Portugal</strong> and since January 2022 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/la-liga-standings-where-do-barcelona-stand-and-what-do-real-madrid-need-to-secure-title-20220418-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in <strong>Sevilla</strong></a>, a team with which he has earned a place as a starter for <strong>Julen Lopetegui.</strong></p>
<h2>The player Mexico needs for Qatar 2022, according to Tecatito Corona</h2>
<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-teammates-who-will-be-rivals-in-the-upcoming-fifa-world-cup-20220406-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The upcoming FIFA World Cup</a> is another opportunity for <em>El Tri</em> to exorcise the ghosts that have plagued them since 1994, when they have been unable to advance from the Round of 16. However, in order to have that chance, they must overcome Poland, Saudi Arabia and, above all, Argentina. To this end, Tecatito Corona commented on which player he would like to be called up by <em>Tata</em> Martino: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/chicharito-out-of-mexico-national-team-for-refusing-to-comply-with-this-condition-from-tata-martino-20220405-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Chicharito Hernandez</strong></a>.</p>
<p>“<em>Everyone asks that question, but obviously a player like him </em>(Chicharito)<em>who is very good, we would obviously like to have him because he is the top scorer of the national team. Obviously we would like to have him because he is the top scorer of the national team, he has a lot of experience.He is a good person, but calling him is no longer a matter for us, but we do respect him, very much</em>.” stated Corona for <em>TUDN</em>.</p>

Qatar 2022: Mexico's key to defeat Argentina? Tecatito asks for this player to be called up to make it - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-2022-world-cup-qualifiers-roster-to-face-jamaica-costa-rica-and-panama-20220122-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mexico</strong></a> is facing their next <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/concacaf-final-round-of-the-2022-world-cup-qualification-standings-and-results-20211112-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Cup 2022 Qualifiers</a> </strong>matches knowing that they can’t make mistakes. After losing their last two games against <strong>Canada</strong> and the <strong>United States</strong>, two direct rivals, El Tri needs to recover good sensations and add points to ensure their place in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-the-countries-that-have-demanded-the-most-world-cup-tickets-24-hours-after-fifa-official-sale-began-20220120-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Qatar 2022.</strong></a></p>
<p>In order to do that, Mexico’s coach <strong>Tata Martino</strong> called up a 30-men roster. The coach has insisted on some names, such as Rogelio Funes Mori, Raul Jimenez, Guillermo Ochoa and Andres Guardado. Still, there were also some surprises.</p>
<p>One of them was the call of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-richard-sanchez-and-all-of-the-zero-cost-players-that-la-galaxy-has-signed-so-far-in-the-transfer-window-20220118-0028.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LA Galaxy</strong></a> right-back <strong>Julian Araujo</strong>, or the comeback of Gerardo Arteaga. However, one more time, Javier Hernández wasn’t called. Fans, once again, were disappointed about it. Here, check out the reasons for his absence.</p>
<h2>World Cup Qualifiers: Why is Chicharito not going to play for Mexico?</h2>
<p>The last time Chicharito was called to play for the Mexican national team was in September 2019, for a tour in the United States. However, during that tour, the player was involved in a controversy for indiscipline, after he and other players, such as Miguel Layún, were seen in a bar hours before a match against<strong> Argentina</strong>, which they lost 4-0.</p>
<p>Since then, Chicharito has been in the black list for Martino, who has left him out of the squad so far. In November, Martino spoke about Chicharito’s absence, who was having a great season with his team LA Galaxy. The head coach said it was<strong> “his call” </strong>and that he believed that the players he called had<strong> “a lot of hierarchy.”</strong></p>
<p>Martino was close to calling Chicharito again, when he appeared in the preliminary list of 40-men for the Concacaf Nations League. However, at the end, he was left out again. In the meantime, Chicharito scored 1<strong>7 goals in 21 matches </strong>for LA Galaxy last season.</p>

<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_hector_herrera_crop1641573082456.jpg_22069893_125761c8.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Hector Herrera (Photo by David S.

<p></p></div>
<p>Current El Tri forward <strong>Raul Jimenez</strong> is the best Mexican player to ever have played in the Premier League. He gets regular 90-minute games and finds the back of the next at Wolverhampton Wanderers consistently.</p>
<h2>Hirving Lozano</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_hirving_lozano_crop1641572818987.jpg_22069893_f625e858.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Hirving Lozano (Photo by Ivan Romano/Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>

<h2>Javier Hernández</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_javier_hernxndez_crop1641572732037.jpg_22069893_65ffb1ef.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Javier Hernández (Photo by VI Images via Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>While never truly exploding and becoming world class, <strong>Javier Hernández</strong> did have a great spell in Europe, he was a go-to bench man at Manchester United, a talented goal scorer at Bayer Leverkusen and West Ham United. His stint at Sevilla is forgettable, but Chicharito did win 5 titles and can boast saying he played at Manchester United and Real Madrid.</p>
<h2>Andrés Guardado</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_andrxs_guardado_crop1641572628097.jpg_22069893_feb208ff.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Andrés Guardado (Photo by Fran Santiago/Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>

<h2>Rafael Marquez</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_rafael_marquez_crop1641572482470.jpg_22069893_c5c58897.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Rafael Marquez (Photo : Manuel Blondeau / Icon Sport via Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Rafael Marquez</strong> played in one of the most dominant soccer teams of all-time at Barcelona, and while at Barca he was humble and hard working. Before his move to Barcelona, Marquez won two titles with Monaco and with the Catalan giants would win 12 titles, including two Champions Leagues. Marquez played 242 games at Barca. Marquez would later have a huge attitude problem in MLS and went to play in Mexico and had a uneventful stint in Serie A.</p>
<h2>Hugo Sánchez</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220107_BUS_182132_hugo_sxnchez_crop1641572308067.jpg_22069893_2bef11a0.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Hugo Sánchez ( Photo by Alain de Martignac / Onze / Icon Sport )   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>El Hugo or El Gran <strong>Hugo Sánchez</strong>, the greatest Mexican soccer player of all-time and greatest export of all-time.

<p></p></div>
<p>While Chicharito Hernandez has had a very good season with the LA Galaxy in MLS, scoring 12 goals in 16 matches, his season has also been hampered by injuries and gossip columns in Mexico. <strong>Chicharito has not closed the door on returning to the Mexican national team, but it looks like he has fallen out of favor over younger and more in form forwards.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Raúl Jiménez, Jesús Corona, Hirving Lozano, and Rogelio Funes Mori </strong>have all been given Tata’s vote of confidence and with the recent snubs for Chicharito, it looks like he may no longer figure in the plans of Tata Martino.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mls-t16956" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Major League Soccer</strong></a> 2021 season is at its midpoint. As <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/patrick-mahomes-matthew-mcconaughey-and-every-single-major-league-soccers-celebrity-owner-20210728-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS</a> gets back on its feet after the harsh <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-set-to-lose-1-billion-in-2021-according-to-don-garber--20210212-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">realities of the pandemic</a>, seeing teams play in full houses has been a joy in feeling that life is getting back to normal. There have been great comeback stories, stadium openings, and dumpster fires for some teams which has made 2021 extremely fun to watch.</p>
<p>While we won’t cover each team individually, we will review some of the bigger stories of the league as well as highlight some players or clubs that are not being talked about as much. <strong>This season we saw the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/silent-hero-brian-schmetzer-20210616-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Seattle Sounders</a> set a record for longest unbeaten run at 13 games and on the other side of the coin Atlanta United and the San Jose Earthquakes went winless in 11 matches.</strong></p>
<p>The comeback story of <strong>Chicharito Hernandez</strong> to the coming out party for <strong>Ricardo Pepi</strong> have been some of the feel-good stories so far. While the firing of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/atlanta-united-whats-next--20210719-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gabriel Heinze</a> </strong>and the mess that is Inter Miami has left fans and pundits with their mouths open.With a half season still left to go, MLS will surely provide a lot to talk about after the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mls-all-star-game-t183175" target="_blank" rel="noopener">All-Star</a> break. <strong>For now, let’s enjoy some of the best stories and highlights of the 2021 MLS season so far.</strong></p>

<h2>The rise of Chicharito</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210804_BUS_173796_javier_hernxndez_crop1628110064521.jpg_22069893_0817756a.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Javier Hernández (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Fans in Los Angeles were scratching their heads when <strong>Javier Hernández </strong>could only score 2 goals in 12 games last season. After an offseason of soul searching and a coaching change Chicharito found his scoring touch in MLS. 10 goals in 10 games, and while he has gone down with injury no one can question that Chicharito is the rainbow of a rather bland Los Angeles Galaxy team.</p>
<h2>The fall of Gabriel Heinze and Atlanta United</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210804_BUS_173796_gabriel_heinze_crop1628110005007.jpg_22069893_a5769136.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Gabriel Heinze (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Local media in Atlanta said it best, <strong>Gabriel Heinze</strong>’s time as coach of <strong>Atlanta United</strong> was so quick that the media never saw him in person. For all the reports and the “sources”, Heinze did not fit in, but had the Atlanta United brass done their homework they would have known that. You don’t ask a guy who spent his career avoiding the media to be the “face” of the club. On the field, Atlanta United did little to justify not firing Heinze winning only two games for the Argentine manager.</p>
<p>Inexplicably the club is still trying to make high price signings that will almost certainly shackle the next coach that comes in. While Atlanta United boasts that they spend the money, they are a club with a lot of expensive deadweight.</p>
<h2>The Revolution in New England</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>An old dog doing with the same trick, Bruce Arena has built a winner in New England. The Revolution have done everything they were criticized for not doing before the arrival of Bruce Arena.<strong> Carlos Gil, Gustavo Bou, and Adam Buksa </strong>could be the best three DPs in all of MLS considering their production and work rate. As always Bruce is building a great team off of a great triangle offense, and as usual American players are blossoming with Arena, Matt Polster, Matt Turner, and Brandon Bye are a few examples. Anyone watching the Revs knows that the team is an MLS Cup candidate.</p>
<h2>The Matías Almeyda experiment</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210804_BUS_173796_matxas_almeyda_crop1628109829012.jpg_22069893_d313a321.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Matías Almeyda (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>While <strong>Matías Almeyda</strong> has won the hearts of many, his life philosophy, his approach to the game, and his charisma make him a great person to showcase on social media. And that has been pretty much it for Matías Almeyda in MLS, he is a great story. His team…. a nightmare, 11th in the West, San Jose fans have grown tired of seeing their team eek out wins and watch from afar how other teams are playoff bound. While not all Almeyda’s fault, the firing of Jesse Fioranelli is the first sign that the Argentine’s experiment is coming to an end.</p>
<h2>The unbeatable Sounders</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210804_BUS_173796_raxl_ruidxaz_crop1628109767532.jpg_22069893_cff9529e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Raúl Ruidíaz (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Revs have competition for the MLS Cup and they’re in Seattle. The Sounders have been special this season and all while doing it without Nicolás Lodeiro and Jordan Morris. Kudos to<strong> Raúl Ruidíaz</strong> for showing that a DP steps up, the leading scorer of the league, at the time of this writing, has proven 10-fold that Gareca made a huge mistake not taking him to the Copa America.</p>
<h2>Los Angeles weak club</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210804_BUS_173796_lafc_crop1628109693101.jpg_22069893_28d62d33.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    LAFC has seen better days. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>LAFC </strong>has gone down the pecking order of the best clubs in MLS and this season the team has looked well, stale. Much more should be expected by a team that is still largely the same group of players that broke the MLS record for points in aseason. Bob Bradley has the team in the playoffs, yes, but 1 game above .500 is that really the measuring stick? Yeah, Vela has been good but Rossi not so much, and to be honest the team has been largely disappointing and are in the clear mostly for the forgiving league MLS can be to some. What to do with Brian Rodríguez seems like a question Bradley will need to answer quickly although help is on the way in forward Cristian Arango.</p>
<h2>A dark horse in NYCFC</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210804_BUS_173796_valentxn_castellanos_crop1628109616766.jpg_22069893_c436591d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Valentín Castellanos (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Statement game after statement game is all<strong> NYCFC</strong> has done this season with big wins against the Crew and Orlando City. Firmly in third in the East after an inconsistent start the club is on a three-game winning streak and is playing some of the most attractive soccer in the league. NYCFC of 2021 could be the team to finally end the New York champion drought in MLS.</p>
<h2>Ricardo Pepi</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210804_BUS_173796_ricardo_pepi_crop1628109512167.jpg_22069893_70d5d08e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Ricardo Pepi (Marca)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Ricardo Pepi </strong>has been one of the best young players to watch this whole season with strong performances for an otherwise lackluster FC Dallas side. Subject to strong transfer rumors, Pepi might not be in MLS for long so watch him!</p>
<h2>In the dumps</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210804_BUS_173796_phil_neville_crop1628109433657.jpg_22069893_1659510b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Phil Neville (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Inter Miami</strong> has just been a rollercoaster ride of bad play, bad decisions, and weak performances. The worst team in MLS with only 12 points, they’re off the field fiascos are jaw dropping, recently loaning a $9 million signing for free in Matías Pellegrini. For all the crap he gets, Gonzalo Higuaín has 7 goals on the year and is the best player on the worst team this league has seen in a long time.</p>
<h2>Kudos to the Crew and Austin FC</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210804_BUS_173796_q2_stadium_crop1628109354833.jpg_22069893_a87d19a6.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Austin FC fans (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Three words: Beautiful Soccer Stadiums! </strong>The Crew joins the club of being the only MLS team to play in two stadiums built for them and Austin’s Q2 Stadium is one of the nicest in the whole league, and a worthy atmosphere! Not to be left out isTQL Stadium of FC Cincinnati all great venues for Soccer in the U.S.</p>
<h2>Honorable mentions</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210804_BUS_173796_nani_crop1628109234640.jpg_22069893_b8f5ffe3.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Nani (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Orlando City</strong> and <strong>Minnesota United</strong> are teams to look out for down the stretch, both teams have shown that they can play good soccer and get wins. The <strong>Colorado Rapids</strong> quietly are in the top spots in the West while Nashville SC have only lost 1 game this whole season.</p>
