Alph Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Can they extend their season by finishing high up and playing those national finals like in the other sports? All those are Eastern teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those are Eastern teams? Beginning in the 2019 season, the top seven teams in each conference will qualify for the playoffs, playing in separate brackets. The top seed in each conference is given a bye to the Conference Semifinals, while the remaining six teams compete in the first round of the playoffs. All rounds are single-match eliminations hosted by the higher seed and there is no re-seeding in subsequent rounds, with the winner of the 4th and 5th place match advancing to face the conference leader and the 2nd–7th and 3rd–6th winners in the other semifinal match. The winners of the conference semifinals advance to the conference finals. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLS_Cup_Playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it in my head that there's 3 conferences. I thought there'd be a central one. Tight league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's often a weekly YouTube video posted of just Rooney highlights Just looking at the Western Conference and seeing LA Galaxy aren't very good. Thought they were supposed to be really good. Looking at their players... they should be! I don't understand how some ordinary players shine and the world class talent doesn't so much. Carlos Vela statistically is better than Rooney. That just wouldn't happen if they shared an English league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was probably the best player on the pitch for the Mexico/Germany match last World Cup and IMO the best player on the Mexico side the entire tournament, including the two Premier players in Chicharito (West Ham) and Jimenez (Wolverhampton). I am very interested to see what Rooney has left in the tank, especially after playing a full MLS and then finishing off the Championship. I haven’t been overly impressed with him during his stint here in the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

States like Idaho, Montana, North and South Dakota, Wyoming, and Nebraska do not have large cities and the population to support teams. Many other states have USL teams, the “equivalent” of Championship here in the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they're split into conferences of East and West. Imagine Sky Sports would move New York v LA from a Saturday to a Tuesday night.

It was cheaper for me to fly to London, get a flat, and buy a Club Wembley ticket than it would have been for me to fly to Florida to watch the Rams train last month.

Bob The Badger Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I posted this the other day and it got buried. Take a look at the goals he scored against Orlando. One here and one in DC. YouTube will not allow me to embed this one that he scored here and it may be even better than the one he scored in the home game below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you draw a line from Washington to Portland and then to Salt Lake City and on to Colorado and Kansas City and then up to the Canadian border and back across to the West coast you will have ensnared the following. 9 people 3 dogs A cat called Cyril 14,219 bankrupt farms that used to sell soy to the Chinese.

KCG Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Sigh... I'm not buying into all this hype around Rooney. It's a commercial deal and the footballing/coaching element comes way down the list in importance. Mel wanted 3rd party investment and this is what it's about.
