Vancouver is the team that probably gets the absolute least coverage in the US, at least in the northeast media market.

What a perfect day off from working where I could totally be watching MLS games. If they're not gonna break for international games, why not have played today? MLB had games...

Though, to be fair, I would probably prefer that my team be simply forgettable rather than inheriting the "flaming garbage pile" mantle from Chivas USA.

MLS Cup 2016 will be played December 10, a Saturday, on Fox. Not FS1, Fox. A smart move, really, because there's not going to be any football on at the same time, college or pro.

No football but college final exams, people readying for the holidays and generally forgetting soccer is in December.

Eh, things being on Fox rather than FS is pretty important. It's kind of a dark irony that "nationally" televised games are harder to catch than local ones for the Sounders at least. But yeah, I remember the last few times it was between MLS Cup and the Winter Beer Fest, and well, I chose the beer fest. e: vvv Yeah, that's a bigger problem. The playoff games have been really poorly spaced out the past couple of years. foobardog fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Sep 7, 2016 |

The fact that we insist on having two-legged series and also on respecting the November international break kinda makes this inevitable, though? (that and the two-week break before the final, which I guess is logistically necessary if they don't know where the final will BE until that point?)

(that and the two-week break before the final, which I guess is logistically necessary if they don't know where the final will BE until that point?) The international break is a good point, as is the two legged fixtures. And if you add avoiding football to that... Though, I don't think it's that logistically necessary, even though MLS is a smaller league, other leagues like the NHL, the NBA, and MLB have undetermined final locations, and with multiple games too. It's not a good comparison, though, those leagues normally play multiple games per week. Additionally, some break is probably ideal if you want players to have some time to rest and recover so they're at their best. It's really not easy, I guess, though more evidence for single table with Supporters Shield being the championship. I don't think it will happen, too many benefits to conferences with travel, and with conferences, best record as championship makes no sense.

Definitely seems to be a reputable source. Twitter is going nuts about it. Donovan is 34 and has been sitting for almost 2 years, though, so I have a hard time believing he'd still be an impact player.

Can't have a player taking Bedoya's spot because then the photos will be released by Ale's intermediary.

Honestly doubt LD has stayed sharp enough to be anything much more than another Bedoya anyhow. 2 years is a long time.
