MLS Cup Final has thankfully been much more entertaining than the deflated trophy portended
The giant inflatable MLS Cup had some issues ahead of the match in Portland, which was a sight gag Ted Lasso might steal.

This is a great one from the watch party.
Baby face Chanot!
How lucky are we to have had the same keeper and CB pairing SIX years in a row?! I feel spoiled, and will be a bit crushed whenever it ends.
Speaking of Johnson, I was hard on him early in the year, and I stand by it. He was at the low end of average. He worked through the slump and was much, much better at year end and in the playoffs. Good on him. I also never thought much of his penalty stopping abilities during his time here. I don't have numbers, but even in regular season, it seemed that opponents only failed if they missed the net or hit the ball very poorly. In the playoff shootouts this year, he made 3 solid stops out of 8, which is damn near Nick Raimondo or Tim Melia BOSS level. That's especially so when MLS GKOTY Matt Turner blocks none and Steve "I flub things in MLS Cup Finals" Clark makes just one. Three was massive, especially because he made them early: Second kick against New England and First Two against Portland.
On the flip side Our boys made 9 of 10 PKs!!! Wow. And Morales, the only guy who missed in 10 attempts, made the first one against New England which was amazing. With this team's PK shootout record we needed an instant script-flipper and he delivered. Maybe it took someone who wasn't here for any of the previous PK failures to have the brass ones to do that. And how did our guys decide to put him first in New England, which came out of nowhere, but then not put him first again in Portland, when it would have been the most normal thing ever? And credit to the takers on all three teams: how often do you see 2 shootouts with 18 shots taken and zero off net? Maxi made 2 freaking PKs in the biggest spots ever!! Next year, if we get in another shootout, I'll be shocked if the opposing GK does anything but stand straight when Callens shoots. But he'll put it in somehow.

With the power he shoots with, I’m sure it’ll go in because it’s going through the goalkeeper’s face
There's something about the expansiveness with the bleachers at YS that makes coordinating a little tougher (particularly with no distinct leader at the front helping keep everybody on the same page. At away games we're all compact and can hear each other / the drums with a lot more ease.
Which brings me to the second point -- having no drums in Philly was REALLY tough. It's already hard to keep a large group of people in time (particularly if they aren't rhythmically inclined), but it's even harder when you don't have a distinct beat to give them.
That's what I figured was happening, and I was thinking about how interesting it was that they let us bring drums in for an away game!
Haha, absolutely not I'd be furious and outraged. I was thinking about that, I'm sure I'd have felt differently had we lost.

So, so close. A gif is worth a thousand words:

I can't remember, does Doyle usually do a "what did this year mean to ..." for the Cup winner?
Wow, that would have been so cool to watch with the extra wings!
shame they weren't able to put up the full tifo. i noticed it was a bit small compared to other tifos they have had before so i thought that was strange.
would have been great to see the whole thing. stupid weather!
Are we all going to keep pretending that the game-winning kick was not followed by one of the dorkiest goal celebrations in football history? Sweet, but dorky.
Callens had a similarly dorky celebration after his Atlanta goal as well.
