“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

Calling Portland 1-0 Melano scores in extra time
WOW blooper goal in the first 30 seconds of a cup final. Funny thing, I had a feeling it would happen once the keeper took a second touch.
1-0 Portland
Lol that was awesome. This is Portland's game to lose.
Make that 2-0
Those were two of the more ridiculous goals allowed all year.
Bad for the league. Oh well.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
game on. Kamara pulls one back. 2-1 Portland

OK how did the ref miss that handball on the line?
These kind of mistakes by the refs in a cup final!
So frustrated. Started watching the game. Saw the first goal. The image freezes. Spent the last hour on the phone Rogers. They have no idea what's wrong and will send service next Saturday. Worst possible timing. I got a $50 credit but no game.
I not a happy person right now.
Good for Portland.
Portland lifts the trophy because they somehow figured out how to win on the road. Porter gets most of the credit here I think.
Gotta say the officiating crew blew at least 3 calls there.
Poor final, for all involved. Bush league goals, awful officiating. Glad it wasn't the KKKrew though. Between this and the GOTY, bad look for MLS.
Presenting the cup to the owner and him lifting it is SOOOOOOOOOOO American.
Great to see Columbus lose at home.
I'm sure there are bad calls that have happened in other leagues and other cup finals around the world , and I'm sure there are some bad calls that have happened even in World Cup finals throughout the years, but because this is the MLS we have all these doomsayers commenting how it's bad for the league please give me a break. I sat and watched as a neautral and I was entertained , it was not a boring final and in the end that's a good look for the league !
The ref and lines man got complimentary Hakin Optical gift vouchers, nice touch MLS :@)
Uh, Eurosnob?
Have you seen the video of that blown call on the 2nd goal? The ball was 3 feet out of bounds. Not to mention the time when a Columbus player took a walk about AROUND THE BACK OF THE NET and came back on the field, all during play.
There is bad refereeing and then there is embarrassingly bad refereeing.
Congratulations to the Portland Timbers for winning the MLS Cup, their first championship in their 40 year, four leagues history.
And HA-HA! to the Columbus Pisstains for losing it on their home turf. Looks good on them, especially after their classless douchebag fans threw beer cans at Portland after the second Timbers goal.
And it must burn the supporters of the Vancouver Shitecraps and Seattle Snotbags that Portland got the MLS Cup ahead of them.
TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)

Yes, you play to the whistle or to the call but as there is rarely a whistle on a ball out of play, I can't blame Tchani all that much.
In Columbus they always complain about TFC fans.
It's time that they just STFU!
Sanctions?
Great result for Portland and on balance they deserved the win created a pile of chances in the second half. Playing a single game away like that was a difficult challenge. I'm not convinced that this is the right format for the cup myself. As much as you get a better atmosphere it's not really fair. For me at a neutral ground is the way to go.
Would like to see Will Johnson come to Toronto next season - he'll be on the move.
Loved the interview with Garber... let's pay 5 guys a Million each rather than 1 guy 5... Garber wasn't keen on that question.
