MLS Playoffs 



The winner gets a Champions Legue bid unless it is a team that has already qualified (1W LAFC, 1E NYCFC and 2E Atlanta United) or a Canadian team (4E Toronto), in which case Seattle gets the bid by virtue of having the best regular season record (points) of the eligable teams. 

So as the Sounders sit in the catbird seat, they get the Champions League bid if the MLS Cup winner is a 1 or 2 seed from either conference, or the 4 seed from the Eastern Conference. If it is anyone else, then that team goes instead. 

/The Crew relinquished the Trillium Cup to Toronto on this, their final game of their 2019 campaign. 

//The MLS will take a week off as team USA plays Cuba and Canada, so this thing won't kick off until Oct 19.

How is this Nations League helping anything, other than I guess being played FOR something?

Demolish a terrible Cuba team, that peaks with a Gold Cup qualification, followed by a no win situation against Canada tonight

USMNT is broken
 We will probably qualify because the quality in the top 6 of CONCACAF has fell off a cliff, but right now we are worse than 2017-18. 

Its not the manager people. Sure Greg is a mediocre coach but that should really be enough to win every match and/or draw a few against the best teams in this confed. Its the players, they just aren't good. Sure you could tell me that Bradley sucks, I won't disagree w/ you but I'll also remind you that Michael Bradley is STILL one of our best players.

there's a generation gap that's too big. from bradley's gen to the young guys just starting to make their names, there's not enough international quality players. even pulisic, mckinnie, adams are still extremely young. brooks might be the only one in that age gap that's international quality, and he's hurt half the time.

having said that, we should still be winning the vast majority of concacaf matches, home and away. at least part of this is ggg fault.

Round 1 in the books



So Philly, Salt Lake and the Galaxy are the only teams remaining that can take the Champions League bid from Seattle.

Toronto over NYCFC was unexpected.



Seattle clinches the fourth and final (USA) Champions League bid.

hopefully he can step up and be that lb we've been missing.

i feel like, when healthy, we should have a fairly competitive starting vi. especially if/when some of the younger guys like weah and sargent start to fulfill their potential.

steffen
yedlin - long/miazga - brooks - dest
adams - mckinnie
pulisic
boyd - morris
altidore

not a bad lineup as is.
