As a Union fan the penalties hurt to watch but hopefully we will be back next year.

That was the best MLS Cup Final I have ever seen. As a neutral, that was top tier entertainment.

The goalie getting the red card and breaking his leg saved the game.

Almost all goals scored on headers / set plays an amazing game.

Only game I watched all year. Edge of your seat great. Absolute gem. MLS has come a long way.

Great match, but the Union threw it away with some inexcusably bad penalty kicks.

It is these games that can grow a sport.

Congrats to LAFC. Ups to Bale. Both a quality team and player.

But really, it’s painful to always see: MLS, where 30+ Premier league players cash in on the overall low quality of the sport here.

Idk it looked to me like he put himself and an opponent in danger because he lost the opportunity to stop the ball. No sympathy here.

Almost any penalty kick can be saved if a GK moves early and guesses correctly. He did it twice and the other slipped. Penalties in the final are a lot of luck. Look at saka at the euros. He got to take his next one last season and he nearly hit the same exact spot. One gk guessed right, the other wrong.

He was put in a tough position and basically kamikazied himself to save the championship for his team. Yes he deserved a red card but now he is also missing his only chance to be in a World Cup. Have a heart tough guy.

All I'm saying is that it's good the other player isn't the one that got injured. Your analogy would be apt if kamikaze fighters didn't literally kill people.

It’s his job… if this was a Sunday league game I agree. But ffs he gets paid to win. Do whatever it takes. This is a very normal thing to do as a keeper. Take the guy out
