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

USMNT better get ready for Bale next. Here’s hoping

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

Yeah. That was something!!

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.

Don’t be so salty.

I don’t see any other cities competing in two major championships in one day.

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

Lol, you're literally rooting for cheaters.

I turned in my tv in the 80th minute and decided to watch the last 10.. turned into over an hour of great entertainment.

Poor fucker was going to be flying to the World Cup for Canada next week.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is these games that can grow a sport.

Well they aren't cheating now. and idc, my team beat them already and fck philly sports teams.

From the article I get that the sub goalie was amazing, but was let down by his team, am I reading that correctly?

I don't think you are.

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.

Guy who never watched MLS enters the chat

Bale was utter dog shit all year for LAFC.

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.

Sub goalie was for the other team, career backup but excels in PK moments

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sporting event that straight refused to show the replay.

Oh shitttt, this is why it should be done in the summer and not move it just to accommodate those desert dictators

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

Ah, thanks. I had a hard time telling from the article because I had trouble with the writing-style. No flame, just a me-problem I think

That's why I was wondering. The writing-style doesn't work very well for me, so I had trouble comprehending it. Luckily a kind redditor helped me out. Thanks for telling me though, much appreciated!

While the MLS will never be the EPL the level of play and overall competition is getting pretty good. It's exciting that they continue to make strides.

Tell me you peaked in peewee soccer without telling me you peaked in peewee soccer.

>The goalie getting a red card

I didn’t even know bale was in mls. I haven’t watched a full mls game in years lol shows how much of a soccer “fan” I am

Glad I paid for Grammarly premium
