Supporters Shield Race

[SoccMan2]

This is North America and unfortunately things are done differently here, you play a regular season and you play for making the playoffs and trying to get the best positions that hopefully will give you advantages in the playoffs. Here you win the playoffs and you are considered the best and the champion. Winning the regular season is not going to get the whole city behind you in celebration, win the playoffs and MLS Cup and you get the mainstream media and all sports fans behind you in celebration, that's what it's all about for me winning something that even the non soccer fan will get behind, see tv ratings for last years playoff run. Winning the regular season is nice for us few diehards that come on these boards but it does not engage the whole city does not get the team as much attention not even close as winning the playoffs and MLS Cup.

Winning the double would be very nice.

Winning the Presidents Cup in the NHL nets you the toughest second round match up in all of sports.

That said, I'm all for the Supporters Shield for banter chants.
