Heading into the third week of MLS in 2025, some teams have started off strong, while others are still trying to find their footing in the new year.
Five clubs of the 30 have won both games to start the season, and another four have yet to lose a match. Meanwhile, four teams, including the reigning MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy, have lost both games to start the season.
Sports Illustrated takes a look at three key storylines heading into Matchday 3.
Which of the perfect MLS teams can continue?
Philadelphia Union: Facing the New England Revolution, the Union should have no problem extending their win streak. Tai Baribo is on fire with five goals in two games, and the Revolution have struggled in most areas, especially in the attack.
San Jose Earthquakes: The durability of the San Jose Earthquakes is the biggest issue, given Josef Martinez's age and some of their key signings. Bruce Arena's men are taking on Minnesota United, which will be a tough defensive test, and they could be in for a draw.
