Well, the Dynamo didn’t make the playoffs again. Sigh. So now who should I root for?
I want someone new to win MLS Cup, with one caveat. Sorry Toronto, Columbus, Kansas, Seattle, Portland, and Colorado - you’ve already won MLS Cup, time for someone new.
Eastern Conference
Philadelphia – Nope. You finally won something to put in the trophy case, although with an asterisk.
Orlando – Nope. You came so close in MLS Back tournament. Unfortunately your coach has a history of changing up the lineup during playoffs, usually with bad results.
NYFC – Nope. Never root for a NY team.
NY Red Bulls – Nope. See NYFC.
Nashville – YES. You aren’t sexy but I like the way you play.
New England – Nope. The eternal bridesmaid.
Montreal – Nope, but you’re my second choice.
Miami – Nope. If your team colors are pink – embrace it! Your jerseys look like warm up shirts.
Western Conference
Minnesota – Nope, though you are my second choice.
Dallas – Hell no.
LAFC – Never.
San Jose – YES. This is the caveat - I know Quakes 1.0 have won MLS Cup, but Quakes 2.0 haven’t. And if this is Wondo’s last season, I want him to leave on a high.
I want the final to be Nashville vs San Jose with San Jose winning on a Wondo goal.
Who will you be rooting for?
