By no means am I saying this *will* happen, but Poch's team can reasonable expect to win all three games. They'll be favored in all three.

Our annual surveys are my favorite piece of content we do, and this year was by far the best. We had almost 3,500 responses!
Fans want looser roster rules, are torn on the calendar shift, and are getting tired of Messi mania.

For my money, Nancy is the GOAT MLS coach.
โช๏ธ1st in PPG among MLS managers with 200+ games
โช๏ธLegit success with CF Montreal(!!!)
โช๏ธMontreal had the 12th most lucrative transfer window in MLS history thanks to Nancy
Everything you could want in a coach.
Two decades ago, Wilfried Nancy arrived in Montreal with a backpack โ now he leaves for Celtic as the best MLS coach ever.
With an unparalleled impact on results, tactics, and personnel (including at MLS's worst club), Nancy is the GOAT.

I wrote an in-depth preview of MLS Cup, breaking down the key questions that will define Inter Miami vs. Vancouver Whitecaps ๐
One of those big Qs: can the 'Caps exploit Miamiโs man-oriented defense?

Todd Dunivant helped build and maintain a one of the USL's best teams -- Sac Republic never had a negative xGD during his better part of a decade in the front office.
Obviously, City Football Group only gives NYCFC's CSO so much autonomy. Still, I really like the hire.
Saturday's MLS Cup final could be an all-timer! ๐ฅ

๐บ๐ธ Sources: Michael Bradley is the clear frontrunner for the New York Red Bulls head coaching job.
Nothing agreed/done yet, but expectation is Bradley will be next head coach.

wrote about inter miami suddenly caring about defense for @backheeled.com
www.backheeled.com/inter-miami-...
That Inter Miami have suddenly decided to become a legit impressive defensive team with a genuine shot-stopper should terrify whoever is coming out of the West to meet them in MLS Cup.
Messi far from his best tonight and Miami still win while on cruise control.
Apologies, but which DC United player is better than Christian Benteke?

If Benteke isn't attached to living in DC, why would he re-sign with DC United at a lower, non-DP salary when he could get that same $ from an MLS team that might win something next year?
Sure looks like DC United are about to lose their best player.
Really good episode of Total Soccer Show today reflecting on the MLS quarterfinals w @joeclowery.bsky.social and @taylorrockwell.bsky.social!
The similar lessons from Philadelphia and Minnesotaโs defeats, Vancouverโs elation, and Miami refining itself around Messi.

The road to MLS Cup goes through Inter Miami โ and for once, that road looks to have a few blockades on it.
Messiโs getting the headlines, but itโs Miamiโs massive defensive improvement that has them playing truly elite ball.

Wilfried Nancy is one of a kind, man.
It's been a pleasure to watch his teams up close since he took over for Thierry Henry in Montreal five years ago.
Celtic won't be an easy post, but if anyone can thrive there? It's him.
If Nancy leaves for Celtic, this is really Issa Tallโs team now. He made the splash for Gazdag and Abou Ali and now will have to appoint a new coach. Going to be a real test for him but it also allows him to build the team he wants. Losing Nancy isnโt easy but at some point it was going to happen
