List of MLS Cup finals

 * Nominator(s):  Sounder Bruce  08:12, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

The greatest soccer championship in the non-soccer half of North America, featuring a mix of international and American sports heritage. As such, this list is based on other soccer cup lists, with a few elements taken from the NFL's Super Bowl list.  Sounder Bruce  08:12, 12 December 2018 (UTC)


 * I think for accessibility there should be a symbol for the related wins rather than bold or italics.
 * I read "major U.S. expansion team" and was wondering what a minor expansion team was. After looking at the source this should specify this is for across all the major sports, not just MLS.
 * I don't see any other issues, looks great! Reywas92Talk 19:56, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Added symbols and colors for the remaining key elements. I'm having trouble deciding what to label a dual Supporters Shield-USOC winner as (in terms of color), but feel that the Supporters Shield should take precedent. The expansion team bit has also been fixed.  Sounder Bruce  02:58, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I think indicating them with font, symbol, and color is overkill and a little cluttered, but you can do as you like here and I support Reywas92Talk 21:39, 23 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * "The league also awards the Supporters' Shield to regular season winners." - needs rewording, as it could be interpreted that a Shield is given to all teams that win matches during the regular seasons
 * "Eight teams have also won "the double", claiming the MLS Cup and either the Supporters' Shield or U.S. Open Cup" - need to mention the Canadian Championship as well as the US Cup?
 * "Sixteen of the league's 23 teams" - aren't there 24 teams in MLS?
 * "The New England Revolution have appeared......but has" - bit of a grammar disconnect here
 * Think that's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:41, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the comments. I have fixed the inconsistencies and omissions that you mentioned. As MLS had 23 teams during the 2018 season (increasing to 24 in 2019 and 26 in 2020), I've added an "as of" to the statement.  Sounder Bruce  01:12, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * - nice one. I didn't bother re-stating them, but I also endorse Reywas92's two points, so as and when those are addressed I will be happy to support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:56, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:32, 20 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Support – The symbol is back to normal size, and all of my concerns have now been resolved. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 22:15, 17 January 2019 (UTC)


 *  Comments Support - queries below....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:15, 19 January 2019 (UTC)


 * The playoffs tournament is organized by the league at the conclusion of the regular season in a format similar to other professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada... - why not just say "end of the regular season" (alot of "conclusion"s in this bit...)


 * Second para: The MLS Cup was established in 1996 and originally hosted by a predetermined neutral site selected ... - be better to diversify the starts of the paras - this one can be: "Established in 1996, the MLS cup was originally hosted by a predetermined neutral site selected... "

Otherwise looks ok Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:23, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the notes. I've implemented both changes, with my own modifications.  Sounder Bruce  01:40, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
