The difference-makers

New York Red Bulls. New York Red Bulls relies heavily on Julian Hall to sustain its scoring output given the wide gap with the rest of the squad. If that primary source fails to convert, the team depends on sporadic contributions from Jorge Ruvalcaba and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting…

Inter Miami. Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez combine for thirty-eight goals to test a defensive structure that concedes more than a goal per match in recent outings.
