The MLS Cup is not actually a Cup

i think that this has been gone over before

 

The world cup isn't a cup either. Quit yer bitchin'.

 

I think the ribbons look cheesy. I take a look at that thing and think "well, I guess they can get away with the ribbons since they're a well-established and respected league..."

If MLS put ribbons on its championship trophy it'd be laughed at. The media would call it girly.

I like the MLS Cup trophy. It is akin to the World Cup trophy, which is the trophy all players should aspire to.

 

Actually it is a cup.

It's a cup competition.

Ideally, the MLS Cup would be a big cup. But as modern trophy's go, I think it looks decent.

 

Grape Nuts are neither grapes nor nuts. Discuss.

 

personally, I won't be satisfied until we get a trophy like the Tri-Nations Cup in rugby. For those of you who are unaware, the trophy is shaped like a cup (normal trophy style), except that the bowl part is about 4 feet in diameter. I kid you not.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't work for two reasons: 1) The media would say we have a Napoleonic complex, and 2) most of the players in the league would get crushed by it.
Personally, if reason #2 was true, I wouldn't mind seeing Ruiz try to lift it up on his shoulders. It would be like a Road Runner cartoon, where the Coyote holds the trophy up over his head, then you just see his arms starting to buckle. And then he gives one last desperate look at the audience before getting squashed flat.
Damn, I need to get out more....

 

Are you sure about this?

 

The biggest blunder was calling it the "MLS Cup" I would have gone with "World Soccer Championship"

 

That the league is secretly preparing to act on Mike Segroves' suggestion and will soon be changing its name to "Major League Porn."

 

As long as they don't pull out that 30 foot blow up replica like MLS Cup 99 for halftime, I think we'll be okay.

 

Actually, the World Cup is a cup, it just has a globe sitting in it. So it truly is a "world" "cup".

 

no one's said it yet?

The Holy Roman Empire was neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an empire. Discuss.

 

please, put a picture of that!!!!

 

The Union of Soveit Socialist Republics was almost never socialist, hardly ever a republic, and is no longer either soviet or a union.

Discuss.

 

The Super Bowl isn't a bowl - its actually the Vince Lombardi Trophy and its the most important trophy this side of Cape Cod.
For arguments sake the MLS hardware is actually the the Alan I. Rothenberg Trophy!!!!

 

The Rothenberg trophy looks too much like the Lombardi trophy. I'd like to see a big shiny cup but who am I?

 

One drives on a parkway, but parks on a driveway. Discuss.

 

What's the deal with Ovaltine? It comes in a round container, you put it in a round glass, why don't they call it Roundtine?
