Good lucky scatter plot for MLS 2026; SKC is atrocious, Vancouver is incredible
good-lucky catter plot of all MLS teams since 2013
With most teams having played 8 games, the underlying stats are beginning to become useful while still noisy.
Vancouver may be the best MLS team ever and SKC the worst. Both are performing as expected.
There's a huge pack of average teams down on their luck.

Best part: it exposes a public /api/scan that returns the full scorecard as JSON. Which means you can just ask Claude Code to scan your website with

How #VWFC might look if both Schonlau and Pupe are signed
4-2-3-1 defending/3-4–2-1 in attack

Schonlau looks to be more of a direct replacement for Ranko, so there’s a possibility they add both him and Pupe. #VWFC

New favorite meal at #VWFC 🇩🇪
Sources 🚨 I can confirm that Joedrick Pupe is a candidate at the Vancouver Whitecaps. Far from a done deal though.
There is interest but #VWFC are also looking at a couple other candidates. Club wants to sign a wing back and a defender this window. ⏳
Whitecaps CEO & Sporting Director Axel Schuster joined @JayJanower on @GlobalBC this morning and mentioned that Thomas Müller is expected to play about 30 minutes today at BC Place.
Müller will also make his stadium entrance through fans at Terry Fox Plaza.

If the #VWFC were ever going to bring in a European Superstar, it feels like we picked the perfect player with Muller. Fits right in with the team's vibes.
#VWFC Coach Jesper Sorensen with an update on Brian White.
“We have to figure (it) out. It wasn’t that bad, I think and we have to hope that he will be available. I can’t be that informative today because I don’t know much about tomorrow. It looked well with Brian.”
