The 2017 MLS season begins tonight in Portland, Oregon when the Portland Timbers take on Minnesota United, who are playing their first ever MLS game. In the coming months, the Seattle Sounders will begin their quest to repeat as MLS Cup Champions, two new teams will get their feet wet in the league, and plenty of new players will take to the American pitch for the first time.<\/p>\n

If you want picks for the opening weekend, 11 of Last Word on Soccer’s writers have picked winners<\/a> for each of the 11 games over the next three days and nights.

Now that the preseason is over, we can return to competitive soccer action here in the United States. The CONCACAF Champions League was a nice teaser, but that competition doesn’t get the attention (or excitement) it deserves compared to Major League Soccer. So, after catching up on our season primers, kick back on the couch, grab your scarf, and enjoy what should be an exciting MLS year.<\/p>\n
