Totally, for sure. Terrible idea... setting out to limit goals against when you're playing at a team that scored 17 goals in the previous five [playoff] games... right.Defensive soccer? Playing not to lose, in a final no less. Terrible strategy.
I think the MLS should rethink the one game final. I think 2 legs game would be more entertaining. Never liked it for champions league either. Sure one single last final game looks amazing and would sell marketing wise, but I've rarely seen attractive football in a final. Teams play too conservative in those games. There is nothing more exciting than a team that is in a losing position and tries desperately to score. Look at the 2nd leg impact vs tfc.
as a newbee to Seattle was fun catching it at a bur full of supporters. I'm waiting for Miami to get their team already to actually follow the MLS though
Don't hold your breath.
A two-leg final?
Then you're setting up for a season-ending game right around.....Christmas.
December 10th is late enough for outdoor soccer in these climates.
The one-and-done system is the way to go.
Minnesota took Femi. I hate Minnesota.
Femi and Antinella were both on my shortlist. Irwin too.
Wouldn't have touched anyone else that was taken.
Yeah, I'm starting to think that those deals Colorado made with MIN/ATL had a condition that they couldn't take Watts, because I can't think of any other reason why both teams would pass him up.
As we know, I think the important things in expansion draft are to not get any DPs, any international slots and any free agents.
