General

 * Captalize cup in all of its mentions outside of MLS Cup
 * Not done, per MOS:SPORTCAPS; "cup" alone does not warrant capitalization.

Venue

 * "The then-unfinished Home Depot Center was announced" - under construction
 * Done.
 * "including the final match." - just final will suffice
 * Not done; "match" is included for clarity, as "World Cup Final" can be used to described the tournament as a whole (in contrast with the qualification rounds).

Route to the final

 * Delink United States since it is a major geographical location
 * Done.
 * "Each team played a total of 30 match in the regular season" - matches
 * Fixed.
 * "MLS Cup 2002 was contested by the Chicago Fire," - don't you mean MLS Cup 2003?
 * Fixed.

Chicago Fire

 * Wikilink MLS Coach of the Year to MLS Coach of the Year Award
 * Done.

San Jose Earthquakes

 * "San Jose clinched their series victory" - clinched a series victory
 * "Their" sounds better in this context, as it wasn't just a series being described here.

Broadcasting and entertainment

 * "ABC/ESPN provided 20 total cameras" - ABC/ESPN provided a total of 20 cameras
 * Done.
 * "The match was also broadcast live within the U.S." - The match was also broadcast on radio live within the United States
 * Done, with the short form of U.S.

Summary

 * Make it clear to non-soccer readers that Zach Thornton was a goalkeeper
 * Done.
 * "who sized on a mis-cleared ball from Chicago" - from whom in Chicago Fire exactly?
 * The player is not identified in the sources, and I can't seem to find out who from the replay videos.

Post-match

 * Re-instated is a solitary word without the hyphen
 * Fixed.
