Rapids Win the Cup, Wells get Ripped by Twellman, and much more...

Winning the cup... with Wells Tohmpson oh wait we mean Thompson.  So ya.... about that the Rapids beat Dallas 2-1 on an own goal... seriously... an own goal and the game went into overtime.  I will say this about the game though, the last 3 mins were very exciting with Dallas pushing hard trying to get that late equalizer to push it to penalties.

Also it seems like now that Taylor Twellman has retired he's opening his mouth a little more on his twitter page, "

the sub of Thompson may bite @Rapidssoccer in the rear end because he has no self control whatsoever." and

So in other MLS cup weekend news Don Garber has stated that we will continue with the balanced schedule next year, and in addition to two new teams being added to the league they will be adding 2 more playoff spots.  Seriously? 2 more? the playoffs for MLS have always been a joke because pretty much any team could get into them and you just needed to be on a hot streak to win the league.  This season it started to balance out a little bit with only half of the teams being eligible for the playoffs, but seriously what is the point of the regular season if it's easy to get into the playoffs?  In addition to the playoff changes Garber says that the will find a way to make sure that a Western Conference team cannot become the Eastern Champion or vice versa.  We should know more about how this plan will be put into action in the next month. You can see the Don's interview on ESPN last night below.

Ok so more Don talk from the Supporters Summit, basically sounds like the state of the league is very good, there are more people wanting to buy in than they are currently willing to allow in, they fell that now they need to work on strengthening the league and the leagues support.  Don stated that he recognizes the need for supporters groups and to spread their passion on down to the casual fans. Travellign support was also touched upon and it seems like they may finally be getting the point that this is a major issue for supporters and that they will be workign hard on this issue and making some changes to the plicies or enacting new policies related to traveling support.  We've been working an in depth piece about travelling support which hopefully we will have up in the next few days.  If you have an hour or so and would like to watch the supporters summit... we got you covered...

That's the MLS weekend in an abbreviated nutshell(I'm feeling lazy today... I could write more but I don't feel like it and well I can't very easily not write anything at all about its so there ya go (hey at least I'm honest!))
