Good effort by El Loons but alas Atlanta wins another trophy.
Atlanta has to go all in on CONCACAF CL next season.

In your opinion, would soccer specific stadium in a suburb with direct access to L or Metra be an option?
Looking at the map, there is Metra Electric line that goes nearby there. The closest station looks walkable but is pretty distant. Maybe they can build a new station?People who live in the city aren't going to take Metra out to the suburbs for a game. For the majority of people, you have to take the L or bus into downtown to get it, so it becomes a long and expensive commute.
There's only 4 or 5 suburbs that the L touches, and those sort of still feel like the city. There was actually some rumors of them playing a few games in Evanston at Northwestern when Soldier Field has conflicts.
The city wants to put the new SSS at the old Michael Reese Hospital site, a little under 2 miles south of Soldier Field at 31st & the lakefront. But the L doesn't go near that either, so who knows if it's a good idea.
MLS rules exist to prevent the league from going out of business.The gap is the MLS rules. MLS would be a top 10 league in the world if the owners could spend freely and there was promotion/relegation.

I always appreciate it when someone comes out and insists MLS needs pro/rel; it's a quick and easy way for me to readily identify folks who don't actually bother to study the problem and instead just insist on Blind Eurosnobbery.The gap is the MLS rules.

They (SPD in Germany) used it in 1931. Nobody here (in Germany) knows the meaning of 3 arrows. It doesn't even exist a german version on wikipedia. And I'm sure Portland fans don't know the meaning. It's nothing wrong being against being against nazis or comunists.I understand that MLS is just trying to remove anything political to not cause issues. Better ways to go about it, but I at least understand the motivation.
Right, nothing wrong to be against Nazis or Communists. Now some of the people using the flag today aren't really against Communists, some are either Communists or sympathetic to them. But, that's not really the issue here.They (SPD in Germany) used it in 1931. Nobody here (in Germany) knows the meaning of 3 arrows. It doesn't even exist a german version on wikipedia.
