    Re: Supporters Shield is the TOP!

    Compared to (the!) EPL, winning the league is everything. MLS is won by winning the MLS cup because MLS does NOT have a single table.

    If anything the Supporter's Shield is a Worthington Cup. It will never amaze me that people will say ignorant stuff like this. Should the MLB champion be the team with the best record in the regular season? Or the NBA champion? Or the NFL? Should the Champions League give their title to the team with the best league record (that is of their own domestic league).

    Get some perspective and learn to think in some way other than "they go on regular season." Especially when we don't have a comparable regular season here.

    MLS (C)rap

    Unfortunately, MLS Wrap completely ignored the fact that Chicago won the Supporters' Shield yesterday. That's a glaring omission.

    Any show that devotes 20+ minutes of airtime to Harkes & Trey talking is bound to have several glaring omissions.

    Like not enough time for insights from Veronica Paysee? :D

    Paysee would be welcome if all they're going to do is show two peole talking at a desk. They could easily put another 10 minutes of highlights on that show (and I'm not talking about the ones in Harkes' hair.)

    What time does MLS Wrap air? If the Galaxy game was still going at the time that the show was being taped or aired, then I could understand why it was omitted.

    It began airing at midnight central time and Harkes said it was live. Obviously, it could be taped, but they had highlights of all the games.

    There's something wrong when this is not regarded as dorky, but a famous George Clinton reference is.

    Oh well :)

    They may well have been confused how it was awarded, like may others. Lots of folks assume the tiebreaker is differential.

    I just wanted to say congratulations on winning the SS. While I don't care for your team or some of your fans, the SS couldn't have gone to a better group of fans.

    Here's hoping for a repeat of the 2000 MLS Cup. :D

    I assure you that was deemed far dorkier, I just didn't want to further offend anybody else.
