Soccer can be a cruel sport. RSL were by far the better team on the night, but couldn't get a break.

I think its funny how NYRB will rep the west and they are further east than the reps Columbus.

I understand the whole wild card thing, but whats the point in divisional tags that are meaningless? It really is time to go to a single table to avoid the confusion that can be created with fringe fans IMO.

So, kind of ironic isn't it? RBNY v Crew for finals....kind of like a kick in the jewels.

they have to have 2 tables if the league is to expand past 18 according to the rules from FIFA. Single table means they are done after this next round of expansion, 2 tables they can have up to 36 teams (not that there will ever be 36 teams).

Yes I would love a single table too. One year they actually sort of made it a single table with only the top team in each Conference getting in and the rest of the groups fighting for playoff seeding. It didn't matter which conference you were in, it was based on total points and you were ranked 1-8. I don't know why they banished that system, but I think it was because two teams showed up in the finals from the same conference and (I think it was LA and SJ at the time), they didn't want that to happen again (not that it ever could.............)

^^ I'm holding out hope that any of the other teams will rush from dressing room to the ring to beat the pair of these two down with a steel chair while the ref isn't looking.

Completed.

The team did a pretty good job filling holes as they went this year, but the one hole they never filled was the loss of Tebily. All those defensive breakdowns late in games, those last minute goals...
