Week Eight of MLS is in the books. We're starting to get a really good look at which teams are good, and which aren't. The end of the second month of the season is right around the corner, will the teams who see themselves in the playoff picture right now be there when we reach the end of week 34?
Week Eight of 2022
Week eight saw some thrilling matches and some boring ones. It's always said you can't win a season in the first few months, but you can lose it for sure. We could be seeing that with some teams, but others are waking up from a slumping being to 2022. Here's a look at the highlights from week eight of 2022.
