MLS: 5 teams who fell short of expectations in 2019

The 2019 Major League Soccer regular season has come to an end. The playoffs may still await, but the bulk of the season is now finished.

In the West, it was Los Angeles FC who were utterly dominant. They won the Supporters’ Shield and put together the greatest season in MLS history. Meanwhile, in the East, NYCFC came from behind both Atlanta and Philadelphia to take the top spot, ending the regular season six points clear of last year’s MLS Cup Champions.

It was not a great debut campaign for MLS-newbies FC Cincinnati, though, who finished the year well adrift of any of the other 23 teams in the league.
