The final four deserve their own thread.

I’m going to look into these four teams and state what I like or barely dislike about each one.

#MLS #VamosSJ #EveryoneN #VamosOrlando #CFMTL

1/
San Jose Earthquakes:

Importance to their community, especially the Latin community. ✅

History ✅

Rivalry w/LAG ✅

Unique name that reflects their city even though it’s a weird choice 😂✅

Supporter’s section ✅

The Mascot Moment 😂✅

2/
San Jose Earthquakes:

Due respect, I’m all for the spirit of punk but that wouldn’t be my choice of anthem (please don’t throw rocks at me) ❌

18,000 and it still rarely looks full or creates an atmosphere outside of the supporter’s section ❌

Deserve better ❌

3/
Nashville SC #EveryoneN

Everyone is “N”. Beautiful how this team has been embraced ✅

In terms of story and how well run the club is, I can’t find better. ✅

Great stadium with wonderful atmosphere ✅

Unique culture with the vinyl and guitar ✅

Soccer Moses ✅

4/
Rivalry isn’t established yet ❌

Main rival is FCC and I wonder if they can overcome “Hell is Real” ❌

Missed out on calling themselves the Nashville Sound or something related to the city. SC is dull. ❌

5/
Orlando City SC #VamosOrlando

The community. From the UK to the US their fans are some of the most passionate I’ve encountered. ✅

The rainbow seats dedicated to the victims of June ‘16. Football is for EVERYONE. ✅ ❤️ 🌈

The potential rivalry with Inter Messi ✅

6/
The existing rivalry with Atlanta U FC ✅

Kaká ✅

Given current events, along with IM might be the most important clubs in MLS to their communities. Siempre con mis hermanos y hermanas españoles ✅

The running of the wall 😂 outstanding! ✅

7/
Nani played for you. (Ha I’m struggling) ❌

I’ve heard it can get insanely hot in the stadium (see struggling) ❌

Yeah I got nothing of substance that is bad to say about this club. Feel free to help me out 😂

8/
CF Montréal #CFMTL

The Bell 🔔 so much cooler to have something like this ahead of a song. ✅

The supporters section ✅

The rivalry ✅

Drogba ✅

Finally working out the logo ✅

Language and culture ✅

History ✅

9/
FC Montréal #CFMTL

The Bell 🔔 tellement plus cool d'avoir quelque chose comme ça devant une chanson. ✅

La section des supporters ✅

La rivalité ✅

Drogba ✅

Enfin l'élaboration du logo ✅

Langue et culture ✅

10/
Owners seem a bit sus & not in tune with the community based on some stories I read ❌

There was nothing wrong with the name Montreal Impact de Montreal, nor the original logo which should never have changed ❌

Attendance ❌

Would I be welcome? I’d like to think so. ❓

11/
Les propriétaires semblent un peu problématique ❌

Il n'y avait rien de mal avec le nom Montreal Impact de Montréal, ni avec le logo original qui n'aurait jamais dû changer ❌

Présence ❌

Serais-je le bienvenu ? J'aimerais y penser comme ça ❓

12/
So there you have it, the pros & cons of my final 4.

It’s at this time I sadly have to remove another team.

San Jose Earthquakes ❌

Toughest yet but with the greatest respect to the community they have, the club should have grown more locally by now. I wish you luck. ❤️

13/
And then there were 3!

Nashville SC ✅
CF Montréal ✅
Orlando City SC ✅

Can I also apologise for putting “history” and not “MLS history”, the whole story matters and MLS is NOT the be all and end all of North American Soccer. 14/
CF Montréal ❌

I love French culture so this one is particularly tough. I will continue to learn the language and may even one day move to 🇫🇷 but given how small the margins are between the Final Four especially, the owners farce with the name and badge was the downfall.

15/
FC Montréal ❌

J'aime la culture 🇫🇷 donc celle-ci est particulièrement difficile. Je continuerai à apprendre la langue mais étant donné à quel point les marges sont petites entre les quatre derniers en particulier la farce des propriétaires avec le nom et le badge a été la chute
The final of the two teams I believe are most deserving of my support.

#EveryoneN #VamosOrlando

If they were in different conferences, I’d support them both. That’s how tough this is. Two of the very best MLS has to offer.

17/
Given that Nashville have been in MLS 5 minutes it’s a real testament to the club and especially the supporters that I have such reverence for them.

As for Orlando, even splitting hairs there was nothing ai could find wrong with the club.

I’ll make my choice but damn …

18/ Image
I try not to use the term “Sophie’s choice” because it belittles the choice that actually had to be made, but in terms of artistic license and out of context, it seems pretty apt here.

19/
I need help @OrlandoCitySC and @NashvilleSC what provisions do you have for European fans? IE is there a separate membership? What are the prices? If I’m in, I’m ALL in. Any other reasons I should pick one over the other?

#VamosOrlando  #EveryoneN 

20/
Orlando City SC ❌

Aside from the anthem (needs updating) & a few cringey chants, I couldn’t love what this club is about more. It wasn’t quite enough but I hope one day you get that cup that in my limited knowledge that you deserve!

All in all I’m not a brick in the wall

21/
It’s fitting that what swayed me to Nashville was music. When I heard that song, that message, coupled with everything else I knew I had found my MLS team. No team more effortlessly encapsulates what you think of when you think of their city. Unique. I am #EveryoneN

What questions I ask as a European when choosing an MLS team:

1. Is the owner someone invested in the community?

2. Does the team have their own stadium?

3. Is the pitch made of grass. Not hybrid grass, GRASS!

Next: teams it can’t be based on this criteria.

1/
Charlotte FC ❌
Vancouver Whitecaps ❌
