All right folks, here it is, last match of 2009 for MLS!

Did we have a prediction thread this season for the playoffs and MLS Cup contenders this year? I feel like I made picks... want to see if I was close....

No clue where the thread is, we'll need to make sure in 2010 to do so.

I said Houston v. Columbus in final I believe, so...wrong.

well 4/8 playoff teams isn't toooo bad I guess...


also I got the order of the Canadian Championship right!



Galaxian nailed the west teams... and got 2 of the East teams for the playoffs... and the Expansion team bonus...

Ah right, I was heading for Europe about then.

I would've been wrong anyways

So word is Seattle is opening it up about 42K for the MLS Cup... not too shabby, hopefully it fills out nice and has a good atmosphere.



Also apparently Garber is considering on changing the Playoff format to allow the higher seed team to Host the MLS cup as well for next year... interesting...... certainly would incline teams to continue to perform and aim for the SS after they secured a playoff spot.

So, would the SS winner get it so we'd know month in advance, or whoever is higher seed (Ex: Los Angeles this year would host)?

42K actually seems...bit low for Seattle, I wonder if this has more to do with sponsor obligations than demand.

I'm such a genius.

I couldn't be more stoked for the game. I'm in Seattle right now and the thought of playing for the Cup is really starting to hit me now. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous about RSL but I honestly think this is our year. After all we've been through, it has to be.

GO GALAXY! Let's bring the Cup home!!

HE LIVES!

thought he was dead! good to see he's still around... come on galaxy!

we seeing a ghost?

Well, I'll watch it tomorrow morning taped. Just hope it is a good match with no issues with officials.

1996: DC United
1997: DC United
1998: Chicago
1999: DC United
2000: Kansas City
2001: San Jose
2002: Los Angeles
2003: San Jose
2004: DC United
2005: Los Angeles
2006: Houston
2007: Houston
2008: Columbus
2009: ???

So, what will it be Los Angeles reclaiming its place as premier side (3rd title in 6 finals) in the league or Salt Lake emerging as new force (first ever final appearance)?

I would watch it but it's too late for me, hope it's a good game. Very nice trophy by the way!

Yeah, finally got it right after two suspect trophies, I hope we keep this for a long long time!

What time is KO?

8:30 EST.

7 hours, 24 minutes, 49...48...47...46 seconds...

I'll give this a look. What channel is it going to be shown on? FSC?

Beckham.

First post people.

It is on ESPN.

Erm...I have no idea what that is here then

Dam 1.30am...I presume it's on ESPN UK

Yeah it is, forget 1.30am though lol.

watch it im staying up so late its at 5:30 pm here so i think you can manage 1;30 weakling

They have DVRs in UK? How I'm watching it (be at work until 2AM again)

Hmmm I might do...

Course they do

A week ago yeah, I've gotta be up at 7.30am now

Rhetorical question my dear sir.

Maybe amongst the last for a while since I just missed the entire season.

Thanks!

EA have apparantly predicted a 2-1 Galaxy win having run the game in FIFA 2010.

So did United...

Well, that settles it.

Prediction: Start off slow, 0-0 at HT, breakthrough by Salt Lake in 62nd minute by Morales, Los Angeles levels by Donovan in 77th minute, then in ET of course Beckham nails a free kick and Ricky runs onto the pitch hugging his hero in glory.

hahhaha seriously?

Hmm... sounds pretty shit. Maybe I'll watch NFL instead.

I might watch the first half, or I might just record it. Galaxy for the win. Donovan to score! Becks to get an assist and then he can go back to Italy having won the big trophy.

Weather is poor, around 5 degrees Celsius and drizzles. Could be messy match with slick surface and all.

LOL oh dear!

You have been reported to forum section moderator.

*Moderator hat on*

Yes, what's all this? Hmmm, frantic insanity, swearing in serious degree and insulting posture. This won't do. Warning now, be on best behavior my fellow American.

Must say, thank you to forum for interest in our little cup final. Good to see folks in our section.

Wait, this isn't the Milan forum?

Cup final should have been hint.

*Ducks as Tobinho throws toaster at me*

Harsh lol, I just saw Becks, didn't realise he was still on loan at Galaxy

Well met Jay.

I'll read about it tomorrow rather than watch the Beckham fan cam.

Good luck to Galaxian. While I have a closer connection to RSL with the ex Crew players there(Andy Williams, Wingert, Grabavoy) I really don't have a horse in this race. I hope for a good match and that ESPN doesn't embarrass us too much.

ESPN will be so busy bumming Beckham that most will forget there's an actual game being played.

Eagles are on at the same time tonight..... that being said they have been pissing me off lately, so I think I may actually be watching more of the Cup tonight then the Eagles/Bears game.... I'll be flipping back and forth either way... can't completely abandon my football team.

and to think I work for the Eagles too..... wow, I'm a terrible employee I guess....

Didn't the Eagles fire someone recently for making negative online comments?
