MLS Cup 2023 is finally set!

So how will you be celebrating the annual event? With an intimate gathering of family and friends? With a blowout MLS Cup block party? Or somewhere in between?

And how will you be feasting the day? Pizza? Hamburgers? Chicken wings? All of the above (I'm assuming that beer will be involved as well )?

In any case, have fun and let's hope not only that the San Jose Earthquakes will be in next season's edition, but that they’ll be hosting it in PayPal Park for all of the U.S. and Canada to see.

This will be the first time that I'll have watched nine consecutive MLS Cup finals since MLS Cups 1996-2004 (overall, I've watched MLS Cups 1996-2004, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2015-2022).

This will also be the first MLS Cup final since 2020 to include at least one MLS Original Ten team.

For me, while I’m okay with either team winning this game, I’m not particularly going to cheer on either one.

Not Columbus because of the reason I stated here, and not LAFC because while they’re not the Galaxy, they’re still (as you succinctly put it) LA.

But at least neither Dynamo FC nor the aforementioned Galaxy are playing in this game, so I can at least still watch it.

GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!!

If LAFC ends up winning, they’d become the first back-to-back MLS Cup champions in just over a decade.
