Soccer 360 - CA (2020-03 & 2020-04)

SEASON PREVIEW

D.C. United

2019 SEASON: 13-11-10, 50 points (Fifth in

the East, Eliminated first round)

KEY ADDITIONS: Edison Flores (Morelia),

Julian Gressel (Atlanta United)

DEPARTURES: Luciano Acosta (Atlas),

Wayne Rooney (Derby)

Ola Kamara will be tasked with trying to

replace Wayne Rooney in Washington

after the Englishman left the club at the

conclusion of the 2019 campaign. Kamara

joined the D.C. late last year and had a

respectable three goals in five appearances.

United should qualify for the playoffs again

in 2020, but don't expect them to make too

deep of a run.

Inter Miami

2019: N/A

KEY ARRIVALS: Matias Pellegrini

(Estudiantes), Julian Carranza (CA

Banfield), Roman Torres (Seattle),

Lee Nguyen (LAFC), Rodolfo Pizarro

(Monterrey)

Finally! David Beckham's Miami expansion

team will begin MLS play this year and

are looking to make an immediate impact

on the league. They inked 19-year-old

Argentine Matias Pellegrini as their first

ever Designated Player and added a bunch

of MLS veterans in the likes of Lee Nguyen,

A.J. DeLaGarza and Roman Torres to help

the new club adapt to the league. Even

though it is just their first season, Inter

Miami look like they'll be fighting for a

playoff spot.

Montreal Impact

2019 SEASON: 12-5-17, 41 points (Ninth in

the East, did not make playoffs)

KEY ARRIVALS: Coach Thierry Henry,

Ballou Tabla (Barcelona B), Romell Quioto

(Houston)

DEPARTURES: Daniel Lovitz (Nashville),

Ignacio Piatti (San Lorenzo), Daniel

Kinumbe (Halifax)

After missing out on the postseason last

year, the Montreal Impact decided to make

a change and brought in French legend

Thierry Henry as their new head coach. The

squad hasn't seen too much overhaul, but

they did bring in Zachary Brault-Guillard

on a permanent transfer from Olympique

Lyonnais after spending last season on loan

with the Quebec club. The Impact should

be an improved side this year, but don't be

surprised if they miss out on the playoffs

yet again.

New England Revolution

2019 SEASON: 11-12-11, 45 points (Seventh

in the East, Eliminated first round)

KEY ARRIVALS: Adam Buksa (Pogon

Szczecin), Kelyn Rowe (Real Salt Lake),

Seth Sinovic (Kansas)

DEPARTURES: Juan Agudelo (Inter Miami),

Edgar Castillo (Atlanta United), Cody

Cropper (Houston)

The Revolution brought in Bruce Arena

in the middle of the season last year to

help guide the club back to winning ways.

While the experienced MLS coach certainly

helped the franchise improve and should

help even more this season, the quality of

the squad on the pitch is simply not good

enough to compete in the ever-improving

MLS. The Revolution may be able to reach

the playoffs in 2020, but that's about it.

Canada international

Jay Chapman will

start anew in Miami as

he looks to prove that

he deserves to be a

starter in MLS
