I value call my nuts.

US soccer media does this a lot, from Beckham-Donovan era Galaxy to The Sounders' Glorious Return To Save American Soccer, and so on.

It's just a sort of arcane ritual to summon a narrative at this point.

Imagine losing a final at home.

This will in no way stop MLS media from constantly deepthroating chivas usa lafc, but it's really funny and was the best possible scenario baring them losing at home to a semi-pro Haitian team.

sports media both for u.s. sports and soccer elsewhere doesn't really know what to do when there aren't dominant teams or players to build the story around, lafc is the best option for the moment. mls has so much parity they're basically trying to manufacture a dynasty out a team winning 1 mls cup or one random signing.

The money increase is great, but the actual competition layout looks dumb.

27 teams? Make it 32 for an even and easy amount

Add 2 more spots to the Central American Cup
Now that Ascenso MX is gone, give the Liga de Expansión MX Apertura/Clausura winners each a spot
Give the USL winner a spot

That takes it to 32 for an easy bracket, it gets more Central American teams in who are underrepresented, and it adds some continental play to the lower divisions in Mexico/US.


e: I just saw that it's a one-off final at a fixed location, so I hope everyone likes it always being in Las Vegas

You know, it hasn't been a true League in ages.
