      Ok yeah I'm a Sounders fan, but I'm honestly confused about why no one can say anything positive about the Sounders at any length on this show without the others shutting it down. It's fine to laud any other team or players for 15+ minutes at a stretch, but the Sounders seem like a third rail. It isn't exactly controversial to at least make the case that Nico Lodeiro was the most successful DP signing in MLS history. Or should I say is, because he's still our #10!

      ugh, i just knew both lafc and the u20s were gonna lose yesterday…lol, i just envisioned it happening in slightly different fashions. the mentality of our players is just too fing weak. 🙁

      Club leon got eliminated to a horrible team in playoffs and them having a month off was a downside because they had no action

    8. David T on

      As much as I'm happy LA lost, let's not make too much of this. Because Seattle won, people now expect the MLS will win every time? Nonsense.

    9. Ernest Goes to Madeas on

      Legacy? This league tries so hard to make LAFC the Man City of MLS when they're essentially as accomplished as Atlanta who has been around the same amount time with a fanbase that is 4 times larger.

    12. Sebas S on

      Lmfaoooooooooooooooo mls in shambles. 😂😂😂😂 totally worth putting a B team against the Galaxy right hahaha No treble for you

    15. steven g on

      Legacy in mls is like saying legacy about taiwan basketball league. Stop it. Nobody cares about this glorified church league and taco bell cashier champions league 🤣🤣🤡🤡

    19. Stan Smith on

      😂
      EXCUSES EXCUSES…. Leon not even the best team in liga Mx and yet STILL beat the "best mls team" in their own turf and both legs.

    24. Nismo Kid on

      Leon Fc not even Liga Mx best team. Let’s talk about the horrible refs, two Leon goals stolen from nonsense calls. The refs kept LAFC in this final from a so what strong Liga Mx squad.

    26. Darvin Lemus on

      LAFC just play the most awful legs in the club history, they looked more like a plastic team. Very unfortunate for the mls trying to be a top 🔝 league! LAFC performance was so shameful

    28. GC on

      So many excuses by these losers. They can't accept the fact that LAFC lost because they got outplayed by Leon.

    29. Marcos Vazquez on

      😂 excuses Leon was just better this leon side was the best defensive team in liga mx shows the difference of defending in both leagues and it showed how well they play and Leon plays really dynamic and it showed stop with the excuses that because of the formation or because they didn’t play or wasn’t their day it was because leon was just better overall

      Love the content, hate the small talk. TY for the timestamps! You might as well sell adds and replace the small talk intro with them.

      Was really surprised to see Benteke is only 32, and worried for his spine when he scored the wonderful overhead kick. His movement was so slow in EPL, but now he looks completely rejuvenated. His finishing has an unmeasurable element of joy in it, which only happens when a player is relaxed and confident. In the EPL would bet against him scoring but now he's the first name on my list to score.

    34. Jaz 206 on

      People forget Lodeiro signed for the Sounders who were in 9th place, 20 points, 6-12-2 record and gave us our first MLS Cup.

    35. Rockin' Mel on

      Cherundolo is 100% right – the REAL reason LAFC did not choose to go "all in" for CCL is because MLS proved after Seattle's win that Garber will give you NOTHING for winning, or even going the distance, beyond rescheduling some league games (so that the stars can be in those league games). No star below the badge to market on kits (or even anything to wear THE SAME YEAR), no roster assistance, NOTHING.

      It's more financially prudent for LAFC to worry about the MLS regular season/playoffs, period.

    36. Yung Boi Butter on

      I will say this as a Leon fan so it’s biased but really mostly factual. Leon by standards isn’t a “big team” with the likes of America and chivas if you will but Leon is well respected in Mexico and people know what they can do considering we have been the top 3 teams with the most final appearances in the league in the last decade. This team we have rn was 1-2nd in being the best defense in the league and was a top 3 contender in many peoples eyes this season. Unfortunately we played rough in the play in and lost to San Luis. Point is this team is no joke and I feel like everyone really thought lafc would walk us in the final. We actually do have very solid players and a very good team just needed a manager like larcamon to push us back into contenders since we’ve been rough for two seasons now. I think LAFC just were no match for us this final and a lot of people underestimated us and to a point I can see it considering we’ve never been very good in international cups but tonight we show we are a great team and if not a “big team” in Mexico most certainly a historic one.

    38. Timothy Castaneda on

      LAFC threw everything at the CCL final, sacrificing an easy open cup run and they still got whooped. They need to win the league again to be considered a dynasty or make up for this failure. Feel bad for Aaron Long, man always loses in finals

    39. Joaquin on

      These comments are VERY different than they were even a couple or weeks ago. Honestly think a lot of them are AI generated. Look closely.

      Timbers have not played Miami yet. They wont this year or next.
      How does the Supporters Shield mean anything when all teams dont play each other?
