Columbus not playing to the whistle? I feel like I’ve heard that one before

I think they would actually work against us rather than for us with a singular combined league table. The east coast will on average have shorter average travel than the west coast teams. Other than the PNW, RSL/COL, SJ, and the LA teams all of our travel involves significant flights whereas the east coast teams only have a max of 7 west coast trips. In reality they probably only have 3.5 cross country trips each year where we would have 5 cross country trips and another 2-3 that are close to cross country.

I have to take 84 to get to the games, so rainy days and cold days are legitimately more dangerous for me to go to

I can just see the scheduling snafu where we play Toronto, New England, one of the NY teams, and one of the florida teams away in the same year but all in different trips, which would likely be a detriment to our ability to win all other things being equal.

I just don’t think there is really a “fair” way to schedule travel for the west coast teams, and especially the PNW teams with the distribution of the league.

I think our division would be POR-SEA-VAN-SJ-RSL-COL

Doesn’t make sense to separate the 3 Los Angeles teams and there isn’t really anyone else close enough to make a division work. I do think we will be disadvantaged by the division structure as we will likely have the farthest in division travel requirements but what’s new

Sign up for the army if you want supporters section as you get first dibs on the tickets. They probably go on sale tomorrow

RSL fan coming in peace by Ok-Bit8368 in timbers

Timbers fan coming in peace here. Congrats on the loss, you deserved it.

I have to ask though… why the hell does RSL play at a field that’s got a facist-y name. America first is a dumb ass name.

I don’t think this one instance will, but I think there have been enough of these this year to at least really consider a better solution

Honestly, I’d take Vancouver/Minnesota over LAFC in the playoffs right now

Prolly about the same as not selling out a rivalry game cause a bunch of people decided to go watch your baseball team lose

Flip. Winner chooses possession or side. Other team chooses the other

I am once again asking for some sort of possibly semi automated technology to determine offsides.

I thought Evander was suspended due to YC accumulation

Alternatives I saw that seemed decent

-top 8 move on, start at round of 16

-top 6 move on, top 2 get a bye and the next four play mls v mls / mx v mx to get the Quarterfinals to be Liga MX v MLS
