I didn't see one already posted...

LAG took care of RSL relatively easy last night, and Coman just scored off a corner kick to put the Impact up 1-0 less than 5 minutes in.

Maybe DC isn't the shoe in everyone thought??

This will not happen. In the leagues mind that would be a disaster for TV ratings south of the border. And a Colorado-TFC final is right out for the same reasons. Look at what happened last night with Seattle and SKC. The refs will be under directive from MLS FO to bias towards a New York - Los Angeles final.

so
so the SKC-Salt lake final a few years ago was league mandated? or the Dallas-Colorado final a couple years before that? Come on this isn't the NBA. They don't care what happens. Whatever grows the exposure of any of their franchises, MLS will be happy.

agree with you. One of the few things MLS has seemed to do right is to stay off the pitch (other than crappy officials which affects both teams randomly)

Plus the CFL game is taking up 2 channels TSN 1 & 4

See, that's what really gets me...what is the point of SN and TSN having 5-6 different channels each, yet they'll still show the same event on multiple channels and interupt other games. I know it's just a matter of some producer in a studio somewhere allocating buttons and faders. But I guess we have to keep in mind that the CFL is TSN's baby (and I mean that respectfully).

Anyways, looking forward to this MTL/NYRB game. It's about 6 degrees, overcast and no wind there. Should be some decent football on a good pitch.

In a way I feel sorry for Dalas, IMO they should have won the MLS cup for winning the supporting shield and we should be playing off for the support shield now.

Not used to this there being a TFC game in the midst of the rest of the playoffs thing. :)

LAG @ Colorado @ 2

Would be nice to see the Rapids lose this one as an MLS Cup final at altitude is just wrong.


Impact @ Energy Drinks @ 4


Not a fan of either team - hoping for a massive chasm to open up underneath them both and swallow em whole.


Seattle @ FCD @ 9


This one is as good as done already. Dallas showed a text book way NOT to do a 3-5-2 last week.
