On flaws, arguments, responses, and outcomes (long and personal)

This post is a response/analysis of the arguments I read and even debated about certain characters in TCF/TBOAH. I get asked for reasons for my points/arguments and I repeat so much it becomes exhausting. So, I decided just to post it here and copypasta every time these arguments show up.

When people ask me why I don't like Deruth or appreciate what he does/did, my response is I was og!cale sometime in my life and it colored my relationship with my father/parents. I admitted my bias in one of my posts and it does affect how I argue or judge characters. I also know people who were abused and neglected. While we do share a common bond (albeit a traumatic one) I do understand the nuances of every individual I knew who knew and experienced neglect. This applies to specific circumstances or even outcomes of their relationship.

So, why argue? I don’t like to argue but I have seen opinions (fine to have whatever side you are on) that imo, lack nuances, particularly to a life that I experienced. Even their arguments make sense to me, even if I feel that they are lacking. Maybe it's not an argument per se, but a chance to provide more awareness to the issues that the canon presented itself. The details in the TCF universe are lacking but we have segments of the fandom that wants to explore a different facet of the story.

So, the common arguments:

1. Deruth is a flawed human/parent. He doesn't read minds or act correctly every single time. Also, ‘We all made mistakes.’ (a classic excuse from neglectful parents) I agree. Nobody in TCF or real life is perfect. This argument is a ‘justification for why Deruth harmed Cale. In itself, the argument isn't problematic but the way it is used is my issue. This argument is repeated ad nauseum to me on occasions when my parent didn't step up or something wrong happens. And I accepted that for years (even now) coz it makes sense and I would be a hypocrite if I don't have flaws myself. The issue is not on the argument itself but on how it is used/delivered. Over time, this morphs into an excuse and is taken advantage of whenever something bad happened. Throw this argument and the recipient is expected to accept it again and again without question until the recipient feels that it is offensive to question why the parent has done a bad thing. It becomes worse when the recipient feels blamed for asking, ashamed for not being validated, or has no empathy thrown their way. It may be reaching but oftentimes, it can lead to gaslighting (and I don't use that term lightly). So, yeah good argument but it has an expiry date and it’s not a free forever pass. And personally, it does not cover the other lacks (effort, understanding, communication, and other relationship ingredients).

Another point the argument ignores is that Deruth is still a parent. Even if he is a flawed parent, he still has that societal and ingrained authority over Cale unless Cale himself is an adult. It's human to be a flawed parent but if a parent’s child has to step up because the ‘parent’ doesn't want to improve and take accountability, then please Google ‘parentification’. It’s a big issue since responsibility is given to a child with no authority, power, and less capability, yet still expected to perform like an adult. In my experience, parentification leads to some kids cutting off their parents or guardians because of the burden and trauma. They were also given false hope that the situation will improve. It's hard because it’s the parents who want to have children but don’t realize that children (more than not) are a lifelong responsibility and commitment. Again, its human to be but mind the responsibility that parenthood entails. Responsibility is not just the physical needs, but also the whole package of a child.

Also, the flawed argument should apply to both Cale and Deruth. Let's do this. If Deruth is flawed, there is little incentive to try to repair their relationship. If Cale is flawed, it's okay for Cale to self-destruct and harm people because of his flaws. The people who are the recipient of Cale's actions have no right to complain because he is flawed and so they are. If we go by this argument, then nobody takes accountability. Apply it evenly and to everyone and I won’t contest that.

‘Deruth lets Cale get away from many things/gives him freedom/Cale doesn’t get any consequences.” Its the same thing my parent's did to me. Gave me a lot of passes when I acted out and money since school and even with my income. Didn’t ask but still gave me ‘in case I need something.’ It’s bribery. Why do you ask? Guilt, overcompensation, and overcorrection. In Cale’s case, freedom’s not a great argument considering Deruth forbade Cale to go outside (and who’s fault it again why he’s acting up?’) and have his butler monitor his movement. People might say ‘for his protection’ but it also indicates a lack of trust and controlling vibes.

There is a part two coz I wrote too much....

Since I see nobody addressing it. I decided to do it myself.

Spoilers ahead..

1. God of death is the ancient white star.

Reasons

Blood drenched rock.

We know that the blood-drenched rock is one of the powers of AWS.

Cale first used this power against the WS, and the lion dragon immediately reacted and said that he could sense its master's powers.

Because of this reason, I first taught that AWS was the sealed God. But I had heard some arguments where they think CJG is the master as it makes no sense why would the sealed God needs someone who guards his temple when that is his source of power.

I guess you could say that he needed people to feel more despair.

But that's exactly why he is not the ancient white star.

The description of the blood-drenched rock explains that it is used to instill the fear of death.

Death not despair

And which god is notable for it.

God of death.

•We all even know that his divine item exhibits a similar sensation to that of the ancient power.

•In side story 6, we can see the relation between GoP ( who is super rock) and GoD. He calls him the shield guy.

•He also has said to have killed many people.

•He has white hair and the AWS belongs to the white blood family.

• CJS hates him. This makes sense if GoD is the ancient WS.

• He and Alver are described as handsome. Also, super rock said that AWS and Alver 's faces are similar to each other but their hair and eye colours are different.

( Of course, our crown prince is more handsome).

• He also regrets his actions. He knows that he couldn't alter his past. I think that is why he let CJG beat him.

• Note that the colour of death is white as mentioned in the earlier chapters of Tcf/Lcf. Considering the hunters emit the colour of their family when using their power it seems intentional.

• I think GoD betrayed the hunters after he killed his friend. After his betrayal, his descendants are no longer capable of using karma.

• this would explain the information he has on hunters and his hatred.

• I think SG is the head of the blood family. I mean his power radiates a bloody red colour. (We don't even know what his hair colour is till now. So I will assume it will be red)

• His heir could be the key to the hunter's plan.

• I think Cale is going to be the heir and becomes a good later. As evident in the recent cover.

• Also from the speech SG that death eventually becomes despair should be noted. We know what the colours of the each family represent other than white.

• Blue -sadness

• Yellow -sloth

• Green- failure

• Purple -indignity

• Black- wrath

• Red- despair

So I think that the white represents death.

Also another theory what if the Henituse family red blood family.

It will be unexpected though.

I think it may be an unique plot twist.

But I think that the Thames family are the heir.

Hi there, welcome to my domain. Here I will post any of my fanfic related to Trash of the count's family. That includes the Original Worldline The Birth of Hero, Earth 1, Earth 2, etc. I will also post some fun facts or new chapters in my story.

Some fact in my fanfic is that

.There is no Deruth bashed and he is a doting father who had zero ideas about how to comfort his son, but he still tries in some...stupid way. I love both Cale Henituse and Kim Rok Soo.

In every fanfic, my Original Cale(I will use Kim Rok Soo to address him) and TBOH Cale are talented in dealing with weapons. Still, because he chooses to be influent with every weapon, he can't reach the highest grade of any type of Material Art. They like to use long-range weapons, Kim Rok Soo like guns, especially pistols.

Kim Rok Soo is a friend of Choi Jung Soo as Choi Jung Soo saw his reckless dongsaeng in him.

TBOH Cale and TCF Cale was the type to be forced. LIke how Alberu made Cale call him Dongsaeng. TBOH Cale also calls someone dongsaeng if they ask for it and will go along with that.

Kim Rok Soo's body wasn't that high alcohol tolerance but He eventually made it fine.

His reincarnation mother's name is Kim Haru(I search online that Haru mean Day, and his mother's name, Drew is also Day or Daylight)

So far, you can use the tag of my Fanfic name to find facts in that Fanfic because I have many different facts depending on what fanfic it was.

Here is the list of fanfic I have write so far(there is more but I kinda lazy to post it so I will wait when I post the need chapter of those fic.

We watch we learn

Reaction fic that I will also write my TBOH and Earth 1 headcanon, It is based on the knowledge I know of them both using the novel and wiki. I want to make it as close as the original.

We need love

A Twin AU but also not a Twin AU as Kim Rok Soo was transmigrated to The Birth of Hero as Rok Soo Henituse, a new character that had never exist in the novel he read with Choi Jung Soo. Everyone was brain washed by God Of Death, believing that he was the Oldest of the Twin Henituse. But only the person who suposed to be the youngest of the Twin know the truth. Through he easily accepted as he knows RokSoo was told to help them.

Cursed child

TCF Cale was pleased to be transmigrated to the Birth of Hero with his friend to helo the doom world. Cale made plane to help the world and fixing the Broken Original Cale Henituse. Or so he though...

Embraced

Cale met with a curse that made him de-aged at 12 years old. (But his body looked like 8 years old.) He and his younger self had to not make anyone know about the secret. Eventually, It fail miserably.

This time, I will protect you

After Cale got beaten up to the pulp by Choi Han, He lost consciousness for a week. after he woke up, Cale became a crying mess, looking for all Hernituse and hugging them like a born baby. he didn't tell anyone what happen when he lost consciousness but Cale had changed. He opened his heart to his family while still acting like trash whenever there was someone else other than Hernituse. he began to travel a lot and every time he came back there were wound and blood on his clothes.

The birth of Hero

My Headcanon of The birth of Hero world line that I used in We watch we learn. I posted it along side with We watch we learn.

so i’ve been looking for novels similar to Trash Of The Count’s Family, since i’m obsessed with this type of novel. I went through most of the recommended sites and read some of the works, those were good but not exactly what i’m looking for. BUT I JUST REALIZED OMG I READ A NOVEL REALLY WITH THE SAME KIND OF ADVENTURE TAG THING. It’s a Taiwanese novel by Yu Wo (my all time favorite author) named Bu Sha (Kill No More). It’s completed with 13 volumes and a side story, there are very interesting arcs and the character’s growth is immaculate 🤌🤌🤌.

The protagonist is Leola an assassin (initially void of emotions) who vowed to stop killing. So he got transferred to another world while running away from his ex-assassin organization. There he met a materialistic boy named Kaiser, they both went on to get into a lot of trouble. They made friends on the way and even got a white baby dragon (very cute and causes misunderstandings cause the the dragon can morph into human form, a man going around with a random baby what could’ve caused that 😏).

Anyway the two main “main” characters (cause there will be a lot of nearly main characters but you know Leola and Kaiser is the ones with most screen time :))) ) Have like, um its hard to word it out but.... Cale is like the secret love child of their personality traits.

Leola is cold calm and doesn’t think that his friends cares about him that much, he also isn’t aware of the affection he’s giving his friends. His a lil dum boi who doesn’t know how to accept the help of others.

Kaiser is a sly, really smart person, who denies caring about anyone but himself (but ya know he actually cares a lot 🙄 *haiz really these tsuderes are the best*). He’s the head in all operations, the boy reads a lot of books and got a lot of info.

Anyway, TCF fans who’s looking for something to read as they wait for TCF’s new chapters you guys should try this novel out!!!!

Some websites i read on:

http://japtem.com/projects/kill-no-more-toc/

and Vietnamese:

https://aicomicus.wordpress.com/bat-sat/

SUPPORT aicomicus she translated nearly all of Yu Wo works and she’s really good at updating.

Theres also a crossover:

ok so I know you said you weren’t gonna explain daisy and then you did, and I want u to know I love when you explain your stories, almost as much as the stories themselves. I both envy and admire the way you think about characters and the way you build your stories and put all these elements together. bc this was a silly story and I laughed almost the whole way through, but there were moments with genuine meaning (ok gertude and jon conversation and about being a very nice boy and all that really got me bc like when am I not having feeling about jon lmao). So then I have Many Feelings about this silly story that are both heartfelt and just pure amusement and I go to you tumblr and then you talk about this story in a way that just makes me love it more. I think it’s bc you write stories where the pov is generally from only one character and when I read the story it’s like I can tell the other characters are having thoughts and feelings deep enough as the pov character, but for the most part, these rich inner lives or just lives separate from the pov character can’t really be perceived. Like it’s all there, but bc we are only seeing it from one characters pov, then there are things we aren’t going to see. And that’s really cool bc like, your characters are real enough that even tho things aren’t outright stated, I can tell there is so much happening “behind the scenes” so to say. It’s neat bc to read what your processes that went into writing a story is satisfying bc it’s like, ok here is what’s happening without the unreliable narrator. Idk as someone who is perpetually confused on why people do what they do (even myself sometimes lol), I like coming here where you explain things so well. Idk this is getting too long so just gonna say that I just really like what you do haha

;_______; Thank you so much. I’m always stressing out that I talk too much and go on too long about stuff nobody cares about lol. I’m also always pretending that I’ve thought stuff out or that I know exactly what I’m doing when I really don’t. I do objectively talk quite a bit about stuff here, but in my defense almost nobody irl knows that I write, at all. They think I don’t have hobbies.

I’m glad it heightens the experience, though, I didn’t think about it that way. Rise of Skywalker Rule: people shouldn’t need to hear your word of god to understand what’s going on. But I really do hate writing multiple POVs (I only do it when it’s absolutely necessary) for a lot of reasons, but definitely it means that a lot of the behind the scenes character work you do goes unseen. But...even if you don’t see it, you know when it’s not there. A lot of technique in art is like that - invisible unless it’s bad lol. Take Daisy in TCF - it is blindingly evident that I did not really know what was really going on with her until much later in the story. My #1 frustration with that fic - just because Daisy will never tell Jon what’s going on, that’s not an excuse for me not knowing.

But I do think a lot of a story is a supporting cast. I really sincerely hate it when a story is winnowed down to Main Character and Love Interest, and everybody else is a flat prop for that. I was reading a super fabulous Stucky fanfic the other day that was gorgeously written, but...none of the supporting characters had conversations with Steve that weren’t about Bucky. It was like some kind of terrifying Lotus Eater Machine hellscape. Imagine if nobody around you had rich inner lives, that they didn’t have their own rationales for what they did, that they had lives outside of you - that literally their only role in your life was to get you together with your boyfriend. Disturbing. (This was another parodied thing in Sucker’s Bet) A lot of Jonmartin fics are guilty of this too, frequently even worse.

So, it’s kind of this dual thing for me - I have to know 10 things about a character and only 1 of those things will appear in the story. This is why I spent so long going on about how I know character’s religions lol. And even if you don’t know these things, it’s obvious when it’s not there. My stuff gets bloated because I insist on giving every major character a character arc and it is terrible of me (Solitaire was a hellscape). Even in the joke arson story - Jon, Sasha, and Tim all needed their individual character arcs, and even though Gerry and Daisy were more plot based characters you still got a strong sense of their lives.

But the flipside is that as I’ve mentioned I don’t do OCs and I just adjust everyone based on the needs of the story. Character is fluid and flexible for me so rarely anything is set in stone. I’m always spinning a ton of plates. I think when you know too much about your character and their background you end up stubbornly forcing a square peg into a round hole sometimes. For all I’ve talked about knowing characters - sincerely please don’t think about it too hard it’s useless. I don’t get too attached to any one characterization. Most of the time, the characterization in the story organically grows as the story develops. Some of the time I only really get a character as I write the final scene, then I have to go back and rewrite a bunch. There is a tremendous amount of characters who only really clicked for me as I wrote a final climactic scene (HR!Jon, TCF!Daisy and Web!Jon but specifically in Evilcon are the worst offenders, but also TCF!Annabelle, BBC!Gerry, SC!Daisy...).

Anyway if you want the reason why I write so many side stories it’s because I finish a story and I just GOTTA tell you EVERYTHING I know about Agnes and Gerry or whatever (how did they meet? Jon will never know!). Legitimately for anyone who’s read Solitaire I highly recommend the Tim side story because Melanie is probably the most unreliable narrator I’ve ever written and there is this entire fucking storm of shit going under the surface of that Tim. Just because he got so complicated. I’ve been churning out a shitton of HR!Jon stories just to fucking try and get the character to click for me. It just goes on and on. As usual I’m both putting too much thought and not enough thought into things - the only way I really hammer out these things is by writing just an insane quantity of words, which is not the most. efficent way.

Sometimes I feel as if I’m hindering myself by not writing multiple POVs but also fuck that. Thank you for the super sweet ask I loved it!

#my writing #me crying over being validated for my insanely long posts:#yeah honestly the best POV characters are the ones like Melanie and Jon who are just so oblivious to everything #yes if I write a martin story I can have him notice things #but where's the fun in that #Melanie is the single most influential person in her universe and she has no idea #she has an archive defense squad and she has no idea #every time she talks daisy is standing behind her flashing her gun and she has no idea #tim and sasha individually swear loyalty to her WHILE SHE'S BULLYING THEM and she has n oidea #solitaire was so traumatic it burned out all desire to write side space cadet stories but #haha unless?

MLS Week 18: Match Notes

Mexico’s MLS trio to face Sweden’s Svensson in final World Cup group stage match

Mexico and Sweden have produced two of the most dramatic moments at the 2018 FIFA World Cup with MLS players featuring for both sides in the tournament’s thrilling play. The two nations will face off in a decisive final match of group play on Wednesday (10 a.m. ET, FOX / Telemundo), with both sides needing a positive result to secure advancement into the Round of 16. An MLS player from either country is guaranteed to advance into the next round, while both countries could advance pending results of Germany’s match against South Korea kicking off simultaneously.

Los Angeles Football Club midfielder Carlos Vela has shined in the World Cup, starting both of Mexico’s matches and scoring the first goal in a 2-1 victory over South Korea with a penalty kick in the 26th minute. Vela subbed out in the 77th minute in favor of LA Galaxy midfielder Giovani dos Santos, who appeared in his third World Cup and helped Mexico close out South Korea to remain perfect in the tournament. LA Galaxy midfielder Jonathan dos Santos, meanwhile, could see his first World Cup action against Sweden.

The Mexican MLS trio will face off against Seattle Sounders FC midfielder Gustav Svensson, who came off the bench to help secure a 1-0 victory over South Korea in the team’s opening match. Sweden narrowly upset Germany on Saturday only for the reigning World Cup champions to strike back with a stoppage-time winner.

Svensson’s Sweden squad will have to hold off a Mexico attack that has been spearheaded by Vela, leading to consecutive World Cup wins for the first time since 2002. A win or draw would guarantee first place in the group for Mexico, while a multi-goal win would place Sweden in prime position to advance to the Round of 16 for the first time since the 2006 World Cup, its last time in the tournament.

MLS Cascadia clash to follow World Cup Group Stage on FOX

World Cup action precedes one of the most storied rivalries in MLS with the 101st all-time meeting between Cascadia foes Seattle Sounders FC and the Portland Timbers at CenturyLink Field on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET on the FOX broadcast network.

Dating back to 1975, this rivalry has had seen some thrillers, and notably some recent magic from Sounders FC forward Clint Dempsey, who last week tied Fredy Montero for the club’s MLS goal-scoring record. Currently sitting on 47 Seattle finishes, Dempsey’s rivalry magic began with a 2014 hat-trick that produced a 4-4 draw off of a down-to-the-wire, 87th-minute finish that sealed the dramatic comeback. Dempsey has a knack for scoring in the rivalry, with his nine goals against Portland over the last four seasons (2014-2017) accounting for more goals than against any other club in his MLS career.

Sounders FC hold an all-time 9-6-6 advantage in addition to an undefeated 7-0-3 home record over the Timbers in MLS heads-to-heads. However, Portland is on a hot streak of 11 games unbeaten in all competitions and nine in MLS regular season action. For a matchup that has drawn four of the five largest home crowds in Sounders FC club history, will Dempsey fuel the resurgence for Sounders FC, or could the Timbers extend their league-leading unbeaten streak?

Timbers Goalkeeper Publishing “Nursery Rhymes with a Sports Emphasis”

Affectionately known as ‘Dadttinella’ to the Timbers Army, Timbers Goalkeeper Jeff Attinella, who has served as the starting goalkeeper for the last eight of Portland’s nine-game MLS unbeaten streak, is expressing his love for sports off the field as well… as an author of children’s books.

The passionate sports fan was looking for a way to capture top sports moments in a format that would resonate with his 18-month-old daughter Remy Rose and as a result, It Had to Be Told was launched.

“I wanted to create an avenue to share what I thought were sports stories that shouldn’t be forgotten,” told The Oregonian in a recent interview. “I’m just trying to tie it all together so that when I’m reading to my daughter, it’s stuff that hopefully we can both connect with. These are stories that I really love and hopefully she really loves in the future.”

And if this story sounds familiar, former MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Kevin Hartman also penned a children’s book during his playing career called “Boots Saves the Day” to use while he worked with children’s literacy programs in Los Angeles.

As Attinella continues to write his ‘nursery rhymes with a sports emphasis’ his focus on the field has led to a career-high four clean sheets this season while posting 31 saves, eight in last night’s match against Atlanta United alone.

Will the Timbers winning streak continue this week against Cascadia rival Seattle Sounders FC? With Attinella and the Timbers traveling to Seattle to face a Sounders side that is desperate for points it will be a tough task… maybe one he’ll write a book about after.

2018 MLS All-Star Fan XI heavy on World Cup talent, League award winners

Major League Soccer announced the 2018 MLS All-Star Fan XI presented by Target on Monday, with the 11 players holding considerable World Cup experience in an impressive array of national team experience among the group. Among the standouts set to face Juventus on August 1 in Atlanta include 10 players with national team experience, five of whom have played at a FIFA World Cup. Los Angeles Football Club boasts Mexico’s Carlos Vela (2010, 2018 World Cup) along with Belgium’s Laurent Ciman (2010). Across town, LA Galaxy’s Zlatan Ibrahimović preps to face his former Juventus team with two World Cups under his belt (2002, 2006), while Sporting Kansas City’s Graham Zusi (2014) and Atlanta United’s Brad Guzan (2010, 2014) both represented the U.S. Men’s National Team on the world’s biggest stage.

Along with the World Cup veterans are current national team players Miguel Almirón (Paraguay), Josef Martínez (Venezuela) and Darlington Nagbe (United States). Ezequiel Barco is the only player in the Fan XI to not have national team experience, but the 19-year-old Atlanta United midfielder has eight caps for Argentina’s U-20 squad.

While the Fan XI players have shined for their national teams, it’s what they’ve done with their MLS clubs that garnered the honor to play in the All-Star Game. Among the many accolades accomplished by the group include the reigning Landon Donovan MLS MVP Diego Valeri, the 2017 MLS Newcomer of the Year in Almirón and the current Golden Boot leader in Martínez. Ciman, meanwhile, has scored three direct free kick goals this season, fourth-most in a single MLS season and the most ever in one season by a defender.

MLS Referees shining in World Cup competition

With more FIFA World Cup officials than any other league world-wide, MLS and Professional Referee Organization (PRO) have five officials achieving the global standard on the world’s biggest stage.

Mark Geiger leads the group with seven World Cup assignments in Russia, including his first call from the middle during Portugal v. Morocco on June 20. His eighth appearance will come from the center on Wednesday during the Group F match between South Korea and Germany, where he will be joined by MLS Assistant Referees Joe Fletcher and Frank Anderson on the sidelines.

MLS Referee Jair Marrufo also served as the man in the middle, leading the officiating team during the Belgium v. Tunisia match on June 23 that featured MLS Assistant Referees Fletcher, Corey Rockwell, and Video Assistant Referee (VAR) Geiger.

Since the start of the tournament, MLS officials have overseen 11 games in various roles, and six games have featured two or more MLS officials. A list of all World Cup assignments for MLS officials can be found here.

MLS Week 18: Match Notes

Minnesota United FC vs. FC Dallas, 8 p.m. ET (ESPN+)

Minnesota United suffered a second consecutive defeat, falling 3-2 to the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Saturday evening. Christian Ramírez scored his fourth goal of the season and his third in the past five matches.

FC Dallas saw their four-game winning streak, and seven-game undefeated run, come to a crashing halt, falling 3-0 to the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena on Saturday evening.

The teams met twice in Minnesota United FC’s inaugural campaign, each winning on their home ground. FC Dallas won 2-0 when the clubs first met on April 8 at Toyota Stadium; MNUFC returned the favor with a 4-1 victory on Sept. 23 at TCF Bank Stadium.

Saturday, June 30, 2018

Seattle Sounders FC vs. Portland Timbers, 4:30 p.m. ET (FOX)

The teams are meeting for the second time this season. Sebastian Blanco scored the game’s lone goal as the Timbers ground out a 1-0 victory on May 13 at Providence Park, in the 100th meeting all-time between the clubs.

Clint Dempsey scored his first goal of the season as Sounders FC reached a 1-1 draw with the Chicago Fire on Saturday evening at CenturyLink Field. It was Dempsey’s 47th goal for Sounders FC, tying him with Fredy Montero for the club’s all-time lead in its MLS history.

The Timbers extended their league undefeated streak to nine games with a third consecutive draw, reaching a 1-1 draw with Atlanta United at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Since their first meeting in 1975 in the old North American Soccer League, Seattle has won 50 times and Portland has won 36, with 14 draws. In Major League Soccer league play, Sounders FC have won nine matches, the Timbers have won six, and six have been draws. The Timbers won both meetings in the MLS Cup Playoffs.

Sounders FC are now 7-0-3 all-time at home in regular season games against Portland – though the Timbers did win there in the 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs.

The Timbers have won four of the past five league meetings in Portland, with one draw, over the last two seasons. Sounders FC last won in Portland in 2014. When the Timbers took a 4-1 win on June 28, 2015, the three-goal victory equaled Portland’s largest margin of victory against the Sounders since 1977.

Atlanta United vs. Orlando City SC, 7 p.m. ET (ESPN)

Atlanta United extended their undefeated streak to five games with a third draw in that time, reaching a 1-1 result with the Portland Timbers at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Orlando City SC saw their MLS club-record losing streak extended to seven games, falling 2-0 to the Montréal Impact in the back end of their home-and-home series Saturday evening at Orlando City Stadium.

The teams are meeting for the second time this season. Josef Martínez and Ezequiel Barco each scored goals in the first half as Atlanta United took a 2-1 win on May 13 at Orlando City Stadium, putting an end to Orlando City’s six-game winning streak.

The teams met three times a year ago in Atlanta United’s inaugural campaign – and the expansion side did not lose to their neighbors to the south. ATLUTD claimed one victory – a 1-0 win in the first meeting between the teams, July 21 at Orlando City Stadium.

The teams played to a pair of draws, both in Atlanta – a 1-1 result on July 29 at Bobby Dodd Stadium, then a 3-3 deadlock on Sept. 16 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Montreal Impact vs. Sporting Kansas City, 7:30 p.m. ET (TVA Sports, TSN, ESPN+)

The Impact won their second consecutive game against Orlando City, winning both sides of their home-and-home series around the World Cup recess, claiming a 2-0 victory at Orlando City Stadium on Saturday evening.

Ignacio Piatti scored his eighth goal of the season, his third in the past two games. The Impact have scored 14 goals since April 21; Piatti has netted seven of those. Montréal scored five goals in the two wins vs. Orlando City – three from Piatti, and two via own goals.

Sporting extended their undefeated streak to seven games, coming back from two goals down for a 3-2 win against the Houston Dynamo at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday evening. Sporting extended their home undefeated streak to eight games.

Daniel Salloí scored a goal and added a pair of assists; of the past 10 goals Sporting have scored, since May 5, Salloí has played a part in six (four goals, two assists).

Sporting have a six-game undefeated streak alive in the series. The teams have reached draws each of the past two seasons, including a 1-1 result in last year’s lone meeting, June 10 at Children’s Mercy Park, Sporting having won the previous four games.

SKC has won three of the five games all-time in the series in Montréal. The last victories in the series by the Impact both came in 2013, winning once at each ground.

Columbus Crew SC vs. Real Salt Lake, 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+)

Crew SC suffered a second consecutive defeat on the heels of an eight-game undefeated run, falling 2-0 to the Los Angeles Football Club at Banc of California Stadium on Saturday evening. Crew SC have been shut out at the attacking end in consecutive games for the first time this season.

RSL had their six-game home winning streak put to an end, but still stretched their undefeated run at Rio Tinto Stadium to seven games, following their 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday evening.

The teams met once a year ago, a 2-2 draw on July 29 at Rio Tinto Stadium. It was the second consecutive draw between the teams in Sandy, with Real undefeated in the past three meetings between the clubs on their home ground.

RSL have not won in Columbus in league play since 2006, the Crew having won seven of the past eight regular-season meetings there, including a wild 4-3 victory on May 28, 2016, in the last meeting at Mapfre Stadium. Real did win the second leg of the Eastern Conference Semifinal Series between the teams in 2009 in Columbus, on their way to an MLS Cup title.

New England Revolution vs. D.C. United, 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+)

The Revolution return to action after more than two weeks away from league play, extending their undefeated streak to five games in their last match, a 2-2 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium on June 13. Diego Fagundez scored a goal and added an assist; he has two goals and three assists in the last five matches.

D.C. United also return to play after more than two weeks away in MLS action, seeing their league winless run extended to three games with a second draw in that time last time out, playing to a wild 4-4 draw with Toronto FC on June 13 at BMO Field.

The teams have reached draws in each of the past three seasons in the lone matchups at Gillette Stadium, including a 2-2 result last April 22 in the only game in Foxborough. The Revolution have a six-game undefeated streak alive at home in the series in league play (2-0-4); United’s last win there came in 2012.

United won the final five league meetings at RFK Stadium between the MLS Original clubs, including a 1-0 win last Aug. 26 in the final matchup on East Capitol Street.

The teams have also met four times in the MLS Cup Playoffs, with United winning three of the four series all-time, last a 2-1 win at RFK Stadium in the Knockout Round in 2015.

Los Angeles Football Club vs. Philadelphia Union, 8 p.m. ET (ESPN+)

LAFC won for a second consecutive match following a four-game winless run, getting two goals in the opening eight minutes on their way to a 2-0 win against Columbus Crew SC at Banc of California Stadium on Saturday evening.

Adama Diomandé scored for a third consecutive match, his fourth goal over that span, while Laurent Ciman scored his third goal this season – all directly from free kicks, the most direct free kick goals by a defender in one season in MLS history (since records available in 2003).

The Union snapped their two-game losing slide in emphatic fashion, rolling to a 4-0 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Talen Energy Stadium on Saturday evening. Borek Dockal netted a pair of goals, his first multiple-goal game in MLS.

The teams are meeting for the first time in LAFC’s inaugural MLS season.

Chicago Fire vs. New York City FC, 8 p.m. ET (ESPN+)

The Fire extended their undefeated streak to four games with a third consecutive draw, reaching a 1-1 result with Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field on Saturday evening.

Aleksandar Katai scored his sixth goal of the season, his seventh consecutive game with either a goal and/or an assist, tying the Fire club record (Ante Razov, 2000).

NYCFC extended their undefeated streak to three games with a second win in that time, remaining undefeated at Yankee Stadium this season following a come-from-behind 2-1 win vs. Toronto FC on Sunday afternoon. Jo Inge Berget scored both NYCFC goals.

NYCFC are undefeated in the past six meetings between the teams, since the Fire won 1-0 on April 24, 2015 in their first ever encounter. NYCFC have won three of those six matches, with three draws.

The teams have split their three meetings at Toyota Park. The Fire won there in the first meeting in 2015, NYCFC took a victory there in the 2016 season opener, then the teams reached a 1-1 last Sept. 30 in the lone matchup in Bridgeview.

The Fire have never won at Yankee Stadium. NYCFC have won the past two meetings between the teams in the Bronx, their first home wins in the series after the first two meetings ended in draws.

San Jose Earthquakes vs. LA Galaxy, 10 p.m. ET (UniMás)

The Quakes saw their winless streak extended to seven games with a second consecutive draw, reaching a 1-1 result with Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday evening. Danny Hoesen scored his 10th goal of the season, his third goal in the last two games, and his eighth goal in the last 10 contests (since April 28).

The Galaxy return to action after two weeks away from league play, their last match a 3-0 win against Real Salt Lake at StubHub Center on June 9. Zlatan Ibrahimović scored a pair of goals, his third multiple-goal game in MLS (in 11 appearances); he has seven goals on the year.

The teams are meeting for the second time this season. Romain Alessandrini scored the game’s only goal as the Galaxy claimed the victory May 25 at StubHub Center.

The Quakes have won once in Carson since 2012 – a 3-0 win on Aug. 27, 2017. The Galaxy won 4-2 last May 27 at Avaya Stadium in the last match at San Jose – just their second victory in the last 16 regular season games in northern California, across four stadiums.

Known as the California Clásico, the Galaxy and Earthquakes have met 83 times in all competitions. In regular season play, the Galaxy have won 31 times and the Quakes 22, with 14 draws, since their first meeting April 28, 1996.

The teams have met each of the last six years at Stanford Stadium, and the game has drawn crowds in excess of 50,000 fans on each occasion, drawing 50,617 last year, with an average of 50,371 for the six contests.

Sunday, July 1, 2018

Toronto FC vs. New York Red Bulls, 4:30 p.m. ET (FOX, TSN)

TFC had their three-game undefeated streak put to an end, falling 2-1 to New York City FC at Yankee Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Victor Vásquez scored his fifth goal of the season, his third in the past five games.

The Red Bulls won their second match on the trot after a three-game winless run, easing to a 3-0 win against FC Dallas at Red Bull Arena on Saturday evening. Bradley Wright-Phillips netted his 11th goal of the season, the 97th of his MLS league career, while Kaku collected his league-leading 10th assist.

TFC are undefeated in their past five home league matches vs. the Red Bulls, including a 4-2 win last Sept. 30 at BMO Field in the last meeting between the teams. The Red Bulls last won in Toronto in 2013.

The Red Bulls are now 10-2-2 all-time in home matches vs. Toronto FC. When TFC took a 2-0 win on March 6, 2016, it was the first win ever for Toronto FC at Red Bull Arena. The Red Bulls were 5-0-1 all-time in Harrison before the TFC win; the triumph also snapped an eight-game home undefeated streak for the Red Bulls vs. TFC (7-0-1), which began Oct. 25, 2009.

The teams also met in the Eastern Conference Semifinals last year, with TFC winning on away goals after the teams tied 2-2 on aggregate. Each team won away – TFC winning 2-1 at Red Bull Arena, before the Red Bulls took a 1-0 win in Toronto in a fractious encounter.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC vs. Colorado Rapids, 7 p.m. ET (TSN, ESPN+)

Whitecaps FC saw their six-game undefeated streak put to a sudden end, falling 4-0 to the Philadelphia Union at Talen Energy Stadium on Saturday evening.

The Rapids came from behind to put an end to their club-record losing streak after eight games, getting the game-winner from Tommy Smith seven minutes deep into second-half stoppage time for a 3-2 win against Minnesota United FC at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Saturday evening.

The teams are meeting for the second time this season. Cristian Techera and Yordy Reyna each scored first-half goals as Whitecaps FC claimed a 2-1 win on June 1 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

Whitecaps FC have come away with points on each of their three trips to Commerce City, winning twice (in both 2017 and 2018) – just their second and third wins ever at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The only other Whitecaps FC win in Commerce City came in 2012.

The Rapids have not won on their past five trips to Vancouver; their last win there, April 5, 2014, was their second victory ever at BC Place, now in 10 visits all-time.
