/Union/ desu
i liked these playoffs.
only thing i didn't like was that >we started portlels hot run.
I have no idea how Portlel >supporters can live with themselves. To have gotten to the MLS Cup final on your own merits, only to win on a goal that should absolutely have never been allowed to happen...this trophy will always have an asterick next to it. Such a shame, maybe they'll be able to win a legit final in the future.
>>64051012
I'll entertain you. It goes both ways, anon. Parkhurst had a blatant handball in the penalty area. It's Columbus' fault for not playing on.
>>64051357
And melano literal hand ball scope. Come on,you guys played as dirty as Scum Jose. Plus timburrs got the the most yellows. Your sjw fanbase is a joke. Just own up to the fact that youre no better than a Cletus state.
>>64051546
Did you just start following MLS this game? If so, welcome.
>>64051357
Columbus are responsible for pretending a missed call wasn't missed? I suppose the refs don't have any responsibility at all?
Let's say that handball (really a shoulder ball) was called. That's a penalty shot, which isn't guaranteed. So you're saying a non-guaranteed shot equals out a goal being allowed to happen that had no place happening?
It would have only been a yellow card for Parkhurst too, since it was ambiguous, so play would have continued as usual after.
>>64051711
Youd like to think that right bitch.
>Implying the union won't win the open and mls cups
Stay delusional.
>>64051713
Alright, say we ignore the PK call and then the 2nd Portland goal was called off. Even so, Portland were the better team undeniably in the second half. More opportunities, more shots, and overall the better team. The fact that in the end Columbus used all their subs early would still show up in the end when their players become fatigued if it went to extra time.
>>64050322
As soon as Phoenix acquires a climate that isn't lethal to play soccer in.
Alaska and Hawaii with MLS franchises when?
>>64050322
>MLS final in Arizona
>all 22 players die of heat stress
>>64051843
Without a doubt. But with all those trollposts who knows if anything would have eventually gone in. It could have gone to PKs for all we know. Regardless, as the game happened, there's more questions than answers. 2015 MLS Cup champions*

>Soon: 1 more year edition

MLS is gonna go to at least 28 teams, so if Phoenix can come up with a good ownership group and most importantly a domed stadium I think they would be a lock.

Doubt it. Portland has a lot of catching up to do in terms of trophies.
>>64056027
I'm a Sounders fan and I rooted for Portland during the game. The Cup's finally in the NW and that makes me happy. (Though admittedly not as happy as I would be if Seattle had won.)

Don't care, but Columbus was doomed with the Clark gaffe.
1-0 easy to come back from.
2-0 not as much. Let Portland play their game which is to sit back and counter.
MLS should be embarrassed by the officiating crew.
The Crew should be embarrassed because everyone except Parkhurst and maybe Sauro and Kamara stunk up MLS Cup in front of their supporters.
It's has officially gone to pooplands head.

This is Shittle posting status and it comes from the top.
>>64056150
>he cant even use his favorite word on a Tibetan trading card forum
I'm honestly glad Columbus fans threw beer cans on the field. Without that, there wouldn't be as much of a controversy about how shitty the refs are and something needs to be done.
Fun fact: Allen Kelly was named the MLS referee of the year. Apparently that doesn't mean anything as he didn't get to call the final. It's like MLS wants below average officiating.
>>64056332
I think it was because he hadn't been over here long enough or something
>>64056365
Obviously being here for a certain amount of years doesn't translate to being a better official.

>bottom team of each conference will have the honor to represent us in the CONCACAF champions league
>aggregate goals over a 7 game series determines the winner
>every match exclusively on Univision Deportes

Seattle and Portland are much closer to each other culturally than LA is to SF or New York to Boston so our rivalry is much less heated than the "ultras" make it out to be. Plus in reality its a relatively new rivalry in comparison to Yankees/Red Sox so its not going to be as intense.

>your domestic league
This mentality is the cancer that holds soccer back from growing in the country, not the other way around.
There are at least 5 domestic leagues, even more if you count all the individual USASA-affiliated ones below the PDL and NPSL. 3 are professional leagues and 2 are amateur and they all deserve your support if you want "your domestic league[s]" to grow.
If you don't agree with that, then your argument is fundamentally flawed and you need to reexamine why you're being so defensive about MLELS.
>>64066851
Meram singlehandedly flopped more than everyone on Portlel combined. That said, the biggest takeaway from the game is obviously that Tumblrs are the brony team.

Is MLS organised like the other US-commie (with drafts and shit sports leauges or is it more free market style (like in EU leauges) ?
>>64068371
It's fully American. Drafts, salary cap, playoffs. Even has some extra-commie features like a single entity structure and mysterious system for assigning top foreign & national team signings to certain teams, as well as paying them much more than the rest of the players proletariat.
>>64057687
>>64062957

>>64068371
MLS is the NFL but they happen to play soccer.
It's even run by an NFL executive.
Lower leagues are independent, EU-style, but they're all competing with each other and MLS and have shit marketing.
This recent season's ball predicted the NYRB Supporters' Shield; this upcoming one looks like it's predicting an NYCFC championship.

>>64068982
is this ghetto gentrifyable?
>>64069429
Is Neagle gud?
DC needs more creative midfield attacking players.
>>64069529
He's a winger so he's definitely an attacking mid/forward type player, but he's bounced back and forth between Seattle and other times as a decently hyped prospect who's showed flashes of promise but hasn't been consistently impressive enough to keep around.
If the pattern continues, he'll be traded back to the Sounders after a season or 2.
>>64069456

>>64069456
>>64069749
Stadiums do not lead to gentrification.
>>64069819

>>64069911
>>64069982
>>64069995
Just realized how many articles about gentrification are just people bitching about it.
>>64069819
The Prudential Center in Newark and Red Bull Arena are helping gentrify the area. The former has definitely done more, but it's still done something.
>>64070050
Gentrification is a term used almost exclusively by NIMBYs and people bitching about the treatment of minority groups they've never met. Somehow they believe that making an area less of a neglected, crime-infested shithole is racist or something.
People not bitching about it use terms like "development" and "improving the neighborhood".
>>64070097
Good call.
Part of my neighborhood in Philly is getting gentrified, and some people are trying to stop that, but I'm not sure why. Trash on the streets and drug dealers isn't really an improvement to shitty overpriced bars.

>>64070243
are you that guy from point breeze?
>>64070243
Their general argument is that the development accompanying gentrification raises rents and prices the original inhabitants out. Their general response is to restrict that development, ensuring there is not enough new housing to meet the new level of demand, causing rent to increase and price out the original inhabitants.
Local political activists really need a course in economics.
