MLS CUP final in Toronto - Lets give a great closure to this exciting season.

With a forecast of 4° C and a little rain on Sunday afternoon the BMO field has the greatest challenge in its short history, to gather a decent crowd for such an event.

I don't agree in planning the MLS CUP final in a different host venue like the NFL does with Super Bowl or the UEFA with the Champions League final.

The league is not ready yet to such situation, you need to gain more popularity, fans, expectations, etc. Even if the match would've it been LA Galaxy against NY Red Bulls it might have been a little different but I still think the competition needs more maturity in order to make the fans travel several thousands of kilometers to watch their team play the final with pre-winter weather. Not even in "Copa Libertadores" we have a single host venue, over there they play two-legged series to win the most prestigious club competition in Latin America.

I really like the fact the best soccer in the league is conquering a media quota, players like the MLS 2010 MVP Colombian David Ferreira or like Omar Cummings need to gain more recognizing and be more tied to the MLS image, since they are the players that are actually making this league a better one. On the other hand, designated players like Beckham, Henry and Ljungberg creates expectations, sell shirts, bring experience but not necessarily raise the level of the game.

I really invite all soccer fans, eurosnobs or not to enjoy the MLS CUP 2010 between Colorado Rapids and FC Dallas. These are the teams that generated the best soccer (and the Real Salt Lake of course) and the most exciting games throughout the season.

On the FC Dallas side, a player like Ferreira is all craft and guile, the authentic 10 of the MLS is always a pleasure to watch. Only Argentinian Javier Morales could show such control of the attacking design in the league. The Colombian, leader in game-winning assists, has very good company with Marvin Chavez and Brek Shea on the flanks looking very much like Seattle Sounders scheme. Also, the best goalie in 2010, Kevin Hartman has just demonstrated he can win games by himself like in the West finals game against LA Galaxy with an outstanding performance, so he is inspired a so the entire team.

The Rapids with the best attacking duo in MLS (Connor, Cummings) are a team you can really fear when close to the penalty area. Also, the captain and spiritual leader Pablo Mastroeni, who 12 years a go made his debut to play the midfield next to Carlos "El pibe" Valderrama in Miami Fusion, knows this is his great chance to win the MLS CUP specially when turning 35 years old.

Lets close this chapter in an appropriate fashion and prepare yourselves for the best soccer in North America.
