@mls PLEASE stop putting the winning team in the video thumbnails! Some of us are unable to watch in real time, and/or live overseas, and don't want the thumbnail to be the spoiler.
The league can't afford the loss of potential revenue (and publicity) if Messi isn't in the final. That leaves LAFC as the opponent, with Miami as the 2024 MLS champion. It's already a done deal, the playoffs are a mere formality. Sorry Columbus fans, your team will lose a heartbreaker. There's a lot of big money behind LAFC, the investors want to reach the final.
Very impressed with Vancouver's fight, especially away. Lots of woodwork tonight, so I think the score is fair, though 1-1 would also be fair. They should have shown more angles on the hand ball..
A right angle. Very much like a chicken wing. Doesn't matter how close it is to his body he should've tucked it down further. At a position like this ✔️ I'd just assume he'd be in big trouble if he didn't award the penalty.

I've never heard anyone say that MLS was a top ten league. As a matter of fact I am constantly reading comments from fans belittling the league. Even MLS fans don't think it's a top ten league.
So dumb for MLS to go back to a 2 game playoff in the first true round. It doesn't reward the teams that finished top 4 at all IMO. Also, it means that the MLS cup final will be later in December, which ends up punishing the team that wins by giving them very little break/vacation time. If anything, they should get more time with their families after winning, but that's just me..
Best of 3 makes no sense. It should be this way: Possible 2 games; If game 1 ends in a draw, or if the lower seed wins it, there will be a second game at the same stadium a couple days later with aggregate score - if there's a draw, then extra time and penalties; If the higher seed wins game 1, then game 2 would not be necessary. Only on the first round.
imagine coming up with a worse idea than best of 3 lmao. use the modern UCL format. 2 legs, home and away, no away goals rule, ET and pens only for the 2nd leg. Doesn't matter who hosts which leg.
