MLS Cup : Portland v Columbus… or #CardsAgainstMLS

So MLS Cup happened.  To say that we here at the Vocal Minority were invested in this match, would be a loose definition of the word “invested”.  Sure, Toronto FC is in the league, and this is the league final, but to be fair this club is so far away from being a participant, it is a challenge to be truly invested.  Instead, we were more like interlopers.

SOUTH COUCH REPORT : MLS Cup Final… or Can’t Both Teams Lose?

Only in North America can you have a summer game’s title match in December. Thankfully, or unfortunately (depending in your levels of schadenfreude), that game is taking place in Los Angeles.
