Wow! I don't usually watch MLS but that was a dramatic shootout. I hope the MLS grows like European football.

[@lukeharper761]

Eventually, but it seems like most British people think this is the worst league in the world. we know it's bad. but it ain't that bad

Sou brasileiro e fico muito feliz em ver que os americanos estão se interessando mais pelo futebol (ou como vocês chamam: soccer) e melhorando a sua liga, não ligue para os europeus eles são uns esnobes. Talvez algum dia times da MLS sejam convidados para a a Copa Libertadores da América do Sul da mesma maneira que os times mexicanos da Liga MX também são.

[@jmd620]

I've always been a casual fan of MLS (my adopted BPL team is my main soccer fix), but I remember being totally enthralled by this game as it aired. I've followed the league super closely this year (rooting for my local Revs) as a result, and I definitely recommend that anyone who calls themselves a footy fan in the US do the same. Yes, the overall quality isn't world class, but it's not bad (better than Ligue 1 I'd say), and there are plenty of guys who can put on a show (Dempsey, Higuain, Nguyen, etc.). And if the occasional brain farts out there get too annoying, at least you can get a good laugh at it every now and then.

[@njt226]

MLS tends to be higher scoring and thats what i like about that. not a lot of 0-0 draws, 1-0 games or 1-1 draws, lots of good 4-2, 5-4 games etc. still don't like the draw system as us Americans are used to overtimes and shootouts in sports. we want a winner lol

[@mist89100]

Hi I'm from France (AJ Auxerre fan) and when I see those highlights I must say it looks like this game was very exciting with lots of spectacular opportunities. And Kansas City stadium is really magnificent. It reminds me of British stadiums and that's the way I love them. The crowd is excellent too. Everything looks great! However it's a shame that the final isn't played in a neutral place like it should be.

[@anthonylong9067]

We could consider moving the final to a neutral stadium. But it's up to the league's owners. We're also debating the promotion/relegation system.

[@LeanMrfuzzles]

America is way too big for that. It used to be held at a pre-determined site until 2012, but the crowds and atmosphere were just awful. They decided to give it to the team that finishes the season with the most points out of the two to make the regular season worth more, and to help create a better atmosphere.

[@digiprez77]

Want to see the long throw from Besler in Brazil!

[@BasqueNYC]

I gotta admit KC futbol fans are nuts I got to catch a game out there visiting some friends ,and I though Galaxy and Red Bulls fans were nuts.The timbers are great fans too You never see fans rushing the field anymore it's nice to see give US sports a shot in the arm.That and it you look at attendance records Futbol(soccer) games are starting inch up or even surpass hockey and Basketball games......I never thought I'd see the day,and I love it!!!

[@thealtosax521]

The reason mls is gaining popularity is because of the FIFA game franchise. I believe this is in two parts. When FIFA games first came out, more kids started saying "hey, this sport looks fun, I'm going to try it". Some pof these kids are most likely mls players today, making their friends and family fans of the sport. Second, kids that play it are then wanting to see the games in real life, so they convince their parents to go to, making possible another 3+ fans.

[@otakumudkipz690]

[@jayh3283]

Now win the Championship League so MLS can one day be in the Copa Libertadores. Hopefully Bieler will stick around and Vermes will play him more/larger than Dwyer. I will be very angry if SKC let a good player like that slip from a team that has potential of achieving more success.

[@jayh3283]

~longer~

[@5nakefork]

i wanna see him stay too but...does he fit in a pressing 4-3-3 or a "long ball" styled 4-4-2? i dont know if hes compatible...but i hope he stay. we need n instinctive striker...BUT dom is looking good too!

[@jayh3283]

Fill Wrauss I think Bieler will be fine as long as the SKC players stop passing the ball to him in the air like he's Kamara and Sapong. With Dom Dwyer talking about leaving MLS for a second division England team, SKC will need Bieler more than ever.

[@MLSTakeover]

Jin DuPre Take transfer talks out of it, you would rather have a 30 year old Bieler going forward rather than a young athletic phoneme that is Dom Dwyer. Dwyer is one of the best products the league has produced in a while!

[@jayh3283]

MLSTakeover did you read my other comment? Dwyer is talking about leaving MLS for a second division team.

[@bananaman22]

The better team was RSL. I guess the venue of the finals is determined before the start of the season because its weird that one team is playing at home for a cup final.

[@bananaman22]

***** Nope. RSL had way more chances, dominated the entire game, except for a few late shots at goal from SKC. Thats a very poor way to decide the venue. No wonder it continues to command little interest throughout the Americas.

[@megslynnandrade]

FSL the better team. thanks for the good joke. then again FSL is a joke. see you 5/17, 8/2, and 9/19. you don't like that the way the venue is decided because deep down you know it will NEVER be played at your so called fortress.

[@unknownstudd69]

People will always remember the winners/champions...NOT which team played better.

[@tmccoy1976]

RSL was better at not making the PK's. Look a the stats and clearly shows who was better.

[@Falsify23]

***** Kansas City represents both Missouri and Kansas. Don't be idiots.

[@RYNO200pf]

How about this. Thank you for bringing Kansas City another trophy. Doesn't matter what side of the border the stadium is on, its Sporting KANSAS CITY, not Kansas, not Missouri, and there is many supporters from the whole 4 state area(Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska). That said I know that there are Missourians who know no longer like it because it is on the Kansas side, but just the minority who cant let the civil war go. Congrats Sporting KANSAS CITY!

[@tmccoy1976]

***** SKC plays in Kansas but the offices located in downtown KC, MO and training ground are also in KCMO. So both are right. So technically it is a championship for Missouri and Kansas.

[@JJwoodmeister]

travis mccoy So when the Chiefs win can we say it brings Kansas a Championship? No? Then fuck off! :)

This game was awesome, and I hope people around the world were watching, or saw the highlights. This game shows how much the game has grown in the United States, and that Americans are becoming more and more passionate about the sport. I loved the fact that Real Salt Lake brought enough fans to have their own section in the stadium. That's what I love about soccer games; that the away fans arent intermingled within the home fans. Instead, they have their own section. Call me weird, I don't care lol.
