That was the best MLS Cup Final I have ever seen. As a neutral, that was top tier entertainment.

I turned in my tv in the 80th minute and decided to watch the last 10.. turned into over an hour of great entertainment.

While the MLS will never be the EPL the level of play and overall competition is getting pretty good. It's exciting that they continue to make strides.

The goalie getting the red card and breaking his leg saved the game.

Almost all goals scored on headers / set plays an amazing game.

Idk it looked to me like he put himself and an opponent in danger because he lost the opportunity to stop the ball. No sympathy here.

He was put in a tough position and basically kamikazied himself to save the championship for his team. Yes he deserved a red card but now he is also missing his only chance to be in a World Cup. Have a heart tough guy.

All I'm saying is that it's good the other player isn't the one that got injured. Your analogy would be apt if kamikaze fighters didn't literally kill people.

It’s his job… if this was a Sunday league game I agree. But ffs he gets paid to win. Do whatever it takes. This is a very normal thing to do as a keeper. Take the guy out

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sporting event that straight refused to show the replay.

As a Union fan the penalties hurt to watch but hopefully we will be back next year.

From the article I get that the sub goalie was amazing, but was let down by his team, am I reading that correctly?

I don't think you are.

That's why I was wondering. The writing-style doesn't work very well for me, so I had trouble comprehending it. Luckily a kind redditor helped me out. Thanks for telling me though, much appreciated!

Sub goalie was for the other team, career backup but excels in PK moments

UltimateBronzeNoob t1_ivbgcyn wrote

Ah, thanks. I had a hard time telling from the article because I had trouble with the writing-style. No flame, just a me-problem I think

Only game I watched all year. Edge of your seat great. Absolute gem. MLS has come a long way.

Great match, but the Union threw it away with some inexcusably bad penalty kicks.

Almost any penalty kick can be saved if a GK moves early and guesses correctly. He did it twice and the other slipped. Penalties in the final are a lot of luck. Look at saka at the euros. He got to take his next one last season and he nearly hit the same exact spot. One gk guessed right, the other wrong.

Congrats to LAFC. Ups to Bale. Both a quality team and player.

But really, it’s painful to always see: MLS, where 30+ Premier league players cash in on the overall low quality of the sport here.
