Week 25 in Major League Soccer is set to bring several emotions for those watching live or online, and it is our duty to give you a bigger picturer of what's in play.
As we are about to enter the All-Star break and the Leagues Cup pause, the Eastern Conference still belongs to FC Cincinnati, the most consistent team in the league and who have a seven-point lead over Nashville. The same cannot be said about the Western Conference, as St. Louis City are keeping up the good work in their debut season and have managed to get a three-point lead over Seattle Sounders, who have played one more game than the expansion team.
The lower halves of each conference also have some news to share, as the world is waiting to see Inter Miami's first games under coach Tata Martino and Lionel Messi. Moreover, the fight in the other side of the country has seen the re-birth of the LA Galaxy, who have thrived recently with Riqui Puig calling the shots in midfield.
Without further ado, here's what you should keep in mind before Wednesday's games in the MLS begin.
