The last two MLS Cup champions meet on FOX at noon pacific on Saturday May 26. It makes sense that this is an over-the-air broadcast with a huge lead-in from the FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Arsenal. American soccer fans who aren’t MLS fans have at least heard of this rivalry. Unfortunately neither team is good, right now. The Portland Timbers are 5th/10th with 18 points in 12 games. Seattle Sounders FC are even worse at 8th/18th with 13 points in their 12 matches played.
A little luster has worn off the stars above the two teams’ logos.
