Comments on: MLS CONSIDERS CUP CHANGES http://astroheader.com/2008/12/05/mls-considers-cup-changes/ unrefined soccer commentary from two americans who know everything Thu, 25 Aug 2011 22:15:20 +0000 hourly 1 By: Justin http://astroheader.com/2008/12/05/mls-considers-cup-changes/comment-page-1/#comment-180 Justin Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:50:40 +0000 http://astroheader.com/?p=657#comment-180 I'm more or less ok with leaving the final in Carson - its similar to how College Baseball is done, and it guarantees a reasonable (if not a little warm) environment for the game. The option might be snow and freezing temps in a place like Columbus. I do disagree with an additional weeks rest. I think you can really lose your momentum adding in the extra time. With MLS more than any other "major" sport, you have to be as timely as possible with events. An evening final where they compete against only 1 NFL game might even be more advisable.
