SCH's Head May Explode

David Villa likes the MLS Playoff format.

"Sometimes in Europe, in some leagues like the Spanish league or the Italian league, the last 10 games are very boring for winning the trophy because there's only two teams. Sometimes one team has the best chance of winning."

Villa said adding a playing format would help to reduce meaningless games in European season's final weeks when the champion has already been decided.

"I like this format. Europe can copy this format," said Villa, who is in his second season with NYCFC and will play in his first MLS playoff game on Sunday against Toronto FC.

Someone paid by the MLS likes the format of the MLS? I'm shocked.

Doesn't the Belgian league do something similar?

The MLS pays David Villa? Not his team? I'm not being an arse. Serious question.

You nailed it. You have this amazing way of just cutting through the BS and seeing things for what they really are. Every one of your posts is like a beacon of light in a dark storm. Thanks so much for everything you do.

Villa´s English is very bad, at best.

Yep. MLS is single entity. Communist pay structure, Democratic system of determining a champion.

One of the things I love about soccer is that what happens on gameday 4 matters just as much as what happens on gameday 36.
The best team wins the title every single time. You get a home and home with everyone else in the league. GD breaks ties to encourage agressive play. It's purity is what makes it great.

Agree 100%. We have March Madness for pure excitement but borderline irrelevant champions

I honestly enjoy both formats. I love the purity, as you say, of the round robin format. I also really like the do or die heightened setting of the knockout rounds and playoffs. I think both formats have their pros and cons.

Good for him I guess
SCH obsessed huh
The playoff format is what it is, most people would rather see a table playing each team home and away. But the playoffs could be done on top of that. I've never said the playoffs suck, it's just dumb that so many teams make it now.

Capital One Cup anyone? Of just the "play-off" qualifying teams?
That way the Supporters Shield can be held to a higher standard. And yet the play-offs (and finishing higher in the league to make the cup competition) matter too.

I guess a league cup would be cool, but then we would need multiple divisions if you know what im getting at

Nah bruh just having a little fun.
You are Eurocentric and a purist so I picked you when I read Villa saying that Europe leagues could copy mls.
You know soccer, recognize Augustiner, and help kill terrorists. You're good people.
