The Timbers Army went silent for the first 33 minutes of Friday’s match against the archrival Seattle Sounders.
Major League Soccer announced on Tuesday that it has suspended its ban on fans waving the Iron Front flag for the rest of the 2019 season, including the playoffs.
MLS had previously banned displays of the flag, saying that it violated a provision in its Fan Code of Conduct that prohibited political signage. MLS stated that since the Iron Front symbol is linked with antifa, which it views as a political organization, that the flag couldn’t be displayed.

The MLS All-Stars were held scoreless for the first time since 2011 as Joao Felix and Atletico Madrid went on to a 3-0 victory at Orlando City Stadium.

Relive the best moments from last night’s MLS Skills Challenge in Orlando.

For the last 15 years, the MLS All-Star game has pitted the best of MLS against a major European club. This year the MLS All-Stars faced off against La Liga runner-ups Atletico Madrid in Orlando, the Spanish visitors, led by teenage phenom Joao Felix, running out as 3-0 winners.

But did Atletico really play against the most deserving or “best” of MLS? This year the fans selected a fairly star-studded starting XI to play in a 3-4-3, a formation hardly ever used in league circles.

The MLS All-Stars were held scoreless for the first time since 2011 as Joao Felix and Atletico Madrid went on to a 3-0 victory at Orlando City Stadium.
ORLANDO, Fla. — The 2019 edition of the MLS All-Star Game was one that won’t go down as a night to remember for the home team. The All-Stars were humbled 3-0 against an Atletico Madrid side that seems well prepared for the upcoming La Liga season.
Even worse, the league’s best didn’t offer many reasons to get the capacity crowd of 25,547 fans at Exploria Stadium behind them. Yet for one pair of All-Stars in particular, there were still moments to savor.
Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando, now…

In an interview with ESPN, Seattle Sounders star Nicolas Lodeiro discusses how MLS has grown and his desire to return to Boca Juniors before he retires.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Twenty years ago, Don Garber stood on a podium at a news conference in New York, having just been named as the new commissioner of MLS, and proceeded to be, as he put it, “lambasted.” The Los Angeles Times reported on the hiring as “A Bad Choice in Any Language.”
Garber was an NFL executive with no connection to the game of soccer who was basically being asked to lead MLS out of the wilderness. As it turned out, the move proved to be astute. Under Garber’s leadership, MLS has…

ORLANDO, Fla. — The 2019 MLS All-Star Game was won by La Liga side Atletico Madrid, who defeated the MLS All-Stars 3-0 in front of a sell-out crowd of 25,527.

In an interview with ESPN, Seattle Sounders star Nicolas Lodeiro discusses how MLS has grown and his desire to return to Boca Juniors before he retires.

ORLANDO, Fla. — You can say this for the MLS All-Star Game: It has staying power.

Long after American peculiarities like the shootout and overtime were abandoned, the MLS’ midsummer fiesta is still going strong. Its 24th edition is set to take place on Wednesday, when the All-Stars take on Atletico Madrid.

Throughout the years, the ASG has undergone something of a metamorphosis. It started out as an Eastern Conference vs. Western Conference affair, moved to a USA vs. The World format, then…

In an interview with ESPN, Seattle Sounders star Nicolas Lodeiro discusses how MLS has grown and his desire to return to Boca Juniors before he retires.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Bastian Schweinsteiger says his introduction to Major League Soccer at the 2014 All-Star Game kickstarted his interest in the league, and ultimately led to his signing with the Chicago Fire in 2017.

Schweinsteiger was fresh off Germany’s World Cup triumph in 2014 when he joined up with Bayern Munich to take on the All-Stars in Portland, and he says that the atmosphere and pageantry of the occasion forced him to take an interest in MLS.

“I spoke to teammates, they liked it in…
