2021 MLSAces March Madness - Sweet 16
The second round of the 2021 MLSAces March Madness is over! Top seeds continued to dominate and a few more active lower seeds had their fun! The March Madness fun continues! This round we saw close to 350 votes on social media and things got TIGHT! Let’s get into the results and start up in the Producen Vaughnders Conference:
We saw some pretty standard stuff here with the #1, #2, and #3 seeds moving on in their matchups. However, the #5 seeded 2017 TFC Treble are continuing their magical run in the Producen’s conference. This is where the conference are going to get tough now, four great MLS moments remain here.
Moving on: #1 #SavedTheCrew, #2 Black Players Coalition intro into MLS Is Back, #3 Schlegel PK Goalie, and #5 2017 Toronto FC season.
If we move directly down from that conference, we run into our “Timber Jason Vevang Conference”:
Timber Jason’s conference has just turned into the animal conference… The #2 seed 90’s Style PKs is making easy work of this group so far but we have a ton of lower seeds making their case for king. Speaking of kings, the #6 seeded Josef’s record goal will look to take down those 90’s PKs in the Sweet 16. In the other half of Jason’s conference we have the animal matchup. #4 seeded RFK Raccoons will host the #8 seeded RSL Cat. Fans lets see what animals we want to remember more in MLS glory!
Moving on: #2 90’s Style PKs, #4 RFK Raccoons, #6 Josef Martinez record goal and look back, and #8 RSL Cat
Now let’s move over to the right side of our bracket where we see our “Uncle Daddy Sam Nelson Conference”:
This might be the most fun (but most difficult) group left within our March Madness. Jason’s conference has turned into the animal conference, well Sam’s conference has turned into the LA Galaxy conference. In two of probably the most talked about moments in Galaxy history, the #1 seeded arrival of David Beckham will take on the #4 seeded Zlatan GOALAZO in El Traffico. That one I am excited to see the winner of. Then we have #3 seeded Cozmo’s shit talking sign to Jose Mourinho vs #7 seeded dumb ass reporter asking Bastian Schweinsteiger if he is going to being a World Cup title to Chicago… god damn I love this league!
Moving on: #1 Beckham arriving in LA, #3 Cozmo’s sign to Jose, #4 Zlatan’s El Traffico goalzo, and #7 Basti brings a World Cup to Chicago.
Let’s finish up with our final conference in the bottom right with our “Tom Sweezy Conference”:
Vaugh has the heart warming moments in MLS history, Jason has the animals in MLS history, Sam has all the LA Galaxy fans, and Tom is left with some of the most WILD moments in MLS history. In a great battle between SKC fans and LAFC fans we have the #1 seed staying strong in Vermes’s “Fuck off? Fuck off!” moment vs the #13 Bob Bradley’s “Get lost! Get lost!”. Some angry coaches yelling some angry stuff! Then we have another fun matchup in #2 seeded drunk Bruce Arena at the post game podium vs the #3 seeded Dempsey ripping the ref’s book mid-game. These are some of the most meme-able and gif-able moments in MLS and I love that these are the final four in this conference.
Moving on: #1 Peter Vermes “Fuck off? Fuck off!”, #2 seed Drunk Bruce Arena, #3 Dempsey rips ref’s book, #13 Bob Bradley “Get Lost! Get Lost!”
The new matchups for the Sweet 16 are set, voting will be up on Twitter/Instagram by end of day on March 29th… check out the live bracket and GO VOTE!!!
