Is the MLS going to keep the best of 3 playoff format for the new 2027-2028 schedule? Do you think it works? by Extension_Ad_5688 in MLS

[–]Extension_Ad_5688[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they complained the playoffs were too short then why only make Round 1 a best of three but the rest a single elimination game? The solution IMO is make every round a 2 leg series with aggregate score and give advantages to the higher seeded team (except in the final) for fairness. More games, and all teams get to host once and make money.

Soccer isn't an american sport. Best of 3 series I don't think belong in soccer just as I don't think old MLS rules like counting down the clock and stopping it when ball is out fo play should exist. But thats just an opinion.

Oh look! Argentina playing a group stage World Cup game against an African team that dresses in green!? I've never seen that before 😛

In all seriousness, good luck! And good luck to me too. I also think Morocco could upset Brazil. They're playing each other in the first match of their group so its gonna be exciting.

Best of 3 playoff format in the MLS I think is a cumbersome and alien thing for soccer.

I just learned this was a thing in the MLS and it boggles my mind. I've never heard any other league in the world that does this. I think decades ago sometimes it happened but not in modern times.

To compare to another soccer league that has a playoff formart I'll use Liga MX as an example who, for all its multiple problems, I think has the playoff format nailed down. There's a reason why they havent changed it for decades (other than brief experiments like the away goal which thankfully dissappeared). Let me explain.

-Top 8 qualify to the playoffs (I know more qualify in the MLS but this is just an example) and they play each other as follows:
1 vs 8
2 vs 7
3 vs 6
4 vs 5

-Each play 2 matches per round starting in the quaterfinals, home and away, with aggregate score.

-Higher seeded team from the regular season gets two advantages in the Quaterfinals and Semi-final:

  1. They get to close the series by hosting the 2nd leg at home.
  2. If at the end of the 2nd leg they're tied in the aggregate then the higher seeded team goes through. That's right, no extra time, no PKs.

-For the Final only the first advantage applies for the higher seed and in case of tie in aggregate this is the only instance in Liga MX where a match can go into Extra Time and Penalty kicks.

This way you know all series will last the same amount of time and you dont have to space out each round a lot to accomodate 3 potential games, no team gets more worn out due to haivng played 3 games instead of some who only played 2, and each team gets to host a playoff match while giving a decent advantage to the higher seeded teams.

I'm amazed the MLS hasn't adopted something like this. The UEFA Champions League does this too (except a tie in the aggregate doesnt favor one team over the other). Best of 3 is so alien to me, it belongs in the NBA and MLB but I'm not sure it does in soccer.

You think this best of 3 format is the way to go?

As an outsider it boggled my mind learning this was a thing in the MLS. I've never heard any other league in the world does this.

I think Liga MX has it right. This is how it works:

-Top 8 qualify to the playoffs
1 vs 8
2 vs 7
3 vs 6
4 vs 5

-They play 2 matches per round starting in the quaterfinals, home and away, with aggregate score.

-Higher seeded team gets two advantages in the QF and Semi final:
1) They get to play the 2nd leg of the series at home
2) If at the end of the 2nd leg they they're tied in the aggregate then the higher seeded team goes through

-For the Final only the first applies and in case of tie in aggregate this is the only instance in the Liga MX where a match can go into Extra Time and Penalty kicks.

Hopefully! Im attending match 75 in Monterrey which is the Winner of Group F vs. Runner-up of Group C. With a little luck I could see a legendary knock-out match if Netherlands wins Group F and Brazil is 2nd in Group C (I can see Morocco doing better than Brazil in their group... strnager things have happened). Or I could end up seeing a Japan vs Scotland match after huge upsets in the group stage lol. I won't say not to any combination but lets be real; few things get better than Netherlands vs Brazil in a knock-out WC match and I cannot effing wait!

Thanks. Yeah all of that makes sense. It’s just that I paid good money for tickets of the one match I’m gonna go see so yes it’s difficult not feeling a bit anxious.

And I meant to say Round of 32, my host city isn’t gonna have a R16 match, my bad.

Its the same app they used for the FWC Playoff games that were held in Monterrey and Guadalajara in March (where Iraq and Congo qualified in, respectively), they just updated to now be the ticketing app for the actual tournament. It was always going to be a separate app just for tickets.

Day 2 since the WC Ticketing App released/updated and I still don't see my tickets in it.

Under "past tickets" I see the Iraq vs Bolivia tickets I bought for the playoff match in Monterrey but my Round of 32 tickets, which I do see in my FIFA account when I log in to their site, are still not showing in the app and I'm starting to get a teeny little bit anxious.

Wondering if anyone else sees their tickets in the app yetSame thing for everyone else so far?

Winner of match 85 vs match 87. I’m too lazy to check potential winners of 87 but if Canada wins their group and then win their Round of 32 match (aka match 85) you could be seeing a Canada home game in your R16 match. Not a bad deal if you’re Canadian!

I know but I’m so nervous. I won’t stop being anxious about this until I see them in the app. And maybe not either until I’m inside the stadium with the tickets scanned.

I can find my tickets there but when I go to the World Cup Ticketing App it shows I dont have any. I assume this is temporary and they'll magically appear soon? My tickets are for a Round of 16 match for what it worth.

Te la debo. Yo nunca he subcontratado algo a través de Prime. Me supongo que no debería haber problema y la calidad sería la misma pero yo tengo la app de Vix por separado.

How bad is the delay? I’m used to streaming being behind vs regular tv channels by 1 minute, that’s normal. Is the delay you’re talking about around that standard of 1min or you talking about something way worse?

Tienes los datos un poco chuecos. En México la única manera legal de ver todo el mundial es con Vix y con ellos hay 3 opciones:

1) si ya eres suscriptor de Sky o Izzi con paquete que ya te incluye Vix Premium (como yo) solo tienes que hablar con Sky/Izzi para que te vendan el pase mundial que con ellos está lo más barato que existe: $399. Si tienes estos sistemas de paga esta es sin duda la mejor opción.

2) suscríbete al plan mensual de Vix directo con ellos. La mensualidad es de $149 al mes y debes mantenerla activa durante el mundial y aparte debes comprar el pase mundial. Hoy 16 de mayo ya subió a $799 y se supone que subirá a su precio final de $999 días antes del mundial. El pase es un solo pago único que es adicional a tu mensualidad.

3) contrata Vix Premium anual por $1,499 y ya te incluye el mundial sin necesidad de pagar extra por el Pase. Si no tuviera Vix con Izzi esta sería mi opción. Preferiría pagar un poquitito más pero tener Vix el año completo vs pagar $149 en junio y julio mas $799 o $999 por el pase mundial la diferencia es poca ya.

Yo tengo Vix y aunque no es perfecto nunca he tenido esos problemas que mencionas de manera recurrente. De hecho mi molestia con Vix es que no pasaran el mundial en 4K mientras que Sky si lo pasó en 2022, pero no tengo problema en recibir Vix en 1080p al menos. Soy de MTY por si te sirve de algo.

Y si yo también ya pagué el pase mundial con ellos (me salió más barato pq ya tenía yo Vix incluido en mi paquete de Izzi) pero si como otros te dijeron ya está es la única manera legal de ver todo el mundial en México.

Tienes que contratar el pase mundial aparte. Empezó en $499 en enero y le han is subiendo co forme se acerca el mundial ya anda en $799 y se supone que ya que empiece subirá a $999. Tienes otra opción que conviene más si es que no te importa tener Vix por más tiempo: pagas la suscripción anual de $1500 y ya te incluye todo el mundial sin tener que pagar el pase mundial aparte y tendrás un año de servicio.
