I’m not sure how you felt, but I reveled in watching Real Salt Lake come from behind to beat expansion side LAFC. My happiness isn’t rooted into any special passion for the Utah club, as it has never been a team I’ve had much time for. Moreover, I was pleased to see this year’s blessed and favored new boys sent home early. For the second year in a row, Major League Soccer has had an expansion side blow through its schedule and find itself in the playoffs. These superpowered and popular sides — I’m speaking of Atlanta United and LAFC — have become league darlings despite the fact their success throws the usual league parity off balance.
