    Those pens were an absolute, worst case scenario nightmare situation for the Union. John McCarthy was the Union's backup "penalty specialist" for 2 years after being brought in as a free agent. He wasn't getting any playing time in Philly because Andre Blake is considered one of the best keepers in the league. Crepeau also has that distinction but since LAFC had the leagues cup tournament this year. They knew they needed to give Crepeau a break here and there McCarthy was guaranteed minutes. Why this was a nightmare scenario for the Union is John McCarthy spent 2 years at the Union, practice after practice taking pens from Union players. No keeper in the league knew how they would take their shots better than John McCarthy. Apparently before they brought John into the game, the Union coach Jim Curtain joked about how bad it would be if John came in and it went to pens. That just had to be in the heads of every Union player on that pitch the moment it was decided the match would be decided via penalty kicks. Absolutely mental bad luck for the Union.

    European fans, especially English and Spanish fans, tend to be harsh in their judgment of MLS. I understand why... You're used to watching the best, most expensive players in the world. Any other league is an abrupt downshift. What's important to keep in mind RE MLS is the progress the league has made in a very short time. As recently as ten or twelve years ago, it was nigh unwatchable. The quality of play was poor. The stadium atmosphere was poor. The broadcasts were amateurish. Today, it is a legitimate Premiership. It lags behind the Big Five, Holland, Portugal.... aaaaaannnd that's about it. I would say it's about on par with the Belgian Premiership. It's ahead of Mexico. Argentina's and Brazil's top flights have been in decline for a long time - even while the countries themselves produce the best players in the world. Events in Ukraine and Russia have decimated those leagues (both of which were, admittedly better than MLS). The new streaming deal is going to increase broadcast revenue several times over, which will in turn lift the salary cap. MLS clubs will be able to buy more players who might otherwise play for elite, pedigreed clubs in traditional high profile leagues. The other plus, to my mind, is the league's unpredictability from year to year. In the last fifteen years, there have been 13 MLS Cup champions. This year's champion didn't exist five years ago. This year was the first time in twenty years in which two top seeds advanced to the finals. It's simply more entertaining to watch a league in which the winner doesn't come from a predetermined small handful of clubs - even if the quality isn't quite as high (for now).

    @@josephperales1848 A lot of people would agree with you - or even hold on to the past and continue to believe LigaMX is the superior league. Most notable of people who share that opinion, is Herc Gomez. But, the evidence of the last few years says otherwise. MLS clubs are, on average, far more valuable than LigaMX clubs. MLS clubs have a winning record against LigaMX in the past 2-3 seasons. MLS alumni are having far more success in elite European leagues than are former LigaMX players. The Mexican national team - top heavy with LigaMX players - have lost the past two international finals to the USMNT - a team with more players from MLS than from any other league. El Tri also managed only 1 point out of six possible against the Americans during WC qualifying. Finally, the LigaMX all stars have lost two years running to the MLS all stars. I admit, that last one is the least compelling data point. All star games aren't great indicators of overall quality. Nevertheless, it is true. To my mind, until I see concrete evidence to the contrary, it appears clear to me that MLS has overtaken LigaMX. There are simply too many check marks in MLS's favor for me to conclude otherwise.

But it won't stay that way for much longer. I'd say MLS's quality varies rather wildly. The top teams could arguably compete with the top 6 in the English Championship (2nd division).

It was the one innovation early MLS introduced that I was on board with but it never caught on and MLS was struggling with fans of the sport who wanted authenticity and fir the league to fall more in line with the mainstream of the sport. That said more recently FIFA itself did consider experimenting with the concept. I think what stands against it is the fact that it's an American concept.

    4:26 To explain the kits a bit, the colors are the original colors of the Philadelphia Eagles NFL franchise. If you look closely at the pattern on the shirts, there are lightning bolts that are a nod to Ben Franklin discovering that lightning was electricity. The main supporters group for the Union are called The Sons of Ben as in Ben Franklin. They were a very influential group in getting Philadelphia a team and also influencing the culture of the team and the academy. The team was founded in 2008 and played their first game in 2010. There was a lot of thought put into the team culture to try to get the city to buy into the team. Plus, LAFC basically ripped off the design for our home kits, so we couldn't wear those.

Been with Philly since 2017. Other guys to follow for the Union are Kai Wagner and Paxton Aaronson. Paxton is Brendan’s kid brother and I think he’s moving to Eintracht Frankfurt pretty soon, and I believe Kai started his career there. German LB, probably the best defender in MLS, arguably the most in-form German LB right now and some on Twitter have even said he should be on the plane to Qatar.

With each player that comes off the game will open up more and so scoring will be easier so the game is bound to end in a reasonable time, and it's more fair than penalties because it's actually a continuation of the game and not a weird specific skill contest

    I cant stand when people say stuff like "in the premier league, the keeper saves that", as if keepers play PERFECT football in the premiership. We can find video of keepers from EVERY LEAGUE in Europe having blunders, let's keep it real.

Our original kit (look it up) looked great (Navy with Gold). I honestly haven't looked into why they changed it. If I knew maybe I'd understand but it doesn't mean I have to like the new look 😂🤪.

    About the second goal Philadelphia scored, you mention that a Premier League goalie would of shaved. I’ve been watching English football since the 80’s before it was called the Premier League. I’ve watched goals that could of been saved, that MLS keeper would saved. Being a keeper is about being in right position and reaction. Even though I disagree with your comment, like you said in beginning of video , that you offer opinions.

    A. "Vela" is just pronounced "veh-lah". You don't have to do that with L in Spanish unless it's a double-L, like in "tortilla (tor-tee-yah)". B. As an LA native and graduate of the University of California (school colors: blue and gold), I thought those Philly strips looked tight and boded well for the LA support.

    7min stoppage time in regulation was two concussion protocol procedures. By American standards, this was a *very* physical game. MLS isn't as rough as EPL. But this game was a 'final'', right? Yeah, the keeper in the PKs was a substitute. Crepeau was given a red because "denial of a goal scoring opportunity", even though he was injured. Kid who replaced him was actually a product of Philadelphia's academy! (Yes, we have them now in the US. The game is maturing over here) Breaks my heart for Creapau, he was on the Canadian National team, and was going to play in the WC. I hate it for him - I'm from Atlanta (not Atalanta) and our best centerback was headed there too, before his achilles sheared. Still mystified at how it happened, he's in his 20s. Thanks for checking in on MLS, though. Football over here stunk for *so* long. Only reason we have a first division now is because all the rich businessmen wanted to host the WC in '94. FIFA: You can't have the World Cup. You don't even have a league!" American Businessment: "OK, we'll just start one." We're getting better at real football. MLS isn't the pile of retirees it was in the 1990s. Christian Pulisic's doing good work at Chelsea, isn't he?

    I agree with so much that you said. The goal from Philly did totally look offside to me and my son. We also agree that the philly kit is awful and we like LAFC's kit. The goalkeeper was sent off with a red card, and if you hadn't heard, he had a broken leg as well. I'm glad LAFC won, but I hate it ending in penalty kicks. I wish we could be set up more like the english system, but for some reason, they think having the "superbowl" is what everyone wants. Oh well, it was definitely an entertaining game to watch.
