1. Everything I say is hypebole nearly all the time (see what I did there)
2. A Trophy is a trophy. Supporters Shield matters, and will be celebrated.
3. We have won a playoff series before. We need to do it consistently.
4. Tomorrows match is about winning a trophy.
5. You are missing something. This team is about winning silverware. If we can win it, we want it. Supporters Shield is more important than you are making it.
6. League Scheduling. I don't know. I complained about this when the schedule came out. It's stupid....but has lead to some compelling story lines. The unbalanced schedule has created some seriously messed up crap. I would love it if we would play a balanced schedule. Home and Away of each team. Single Table. Top portion go to playoffs and some sort of wild card. If you are worried about too many fixtures, fine. Increase the salary cap and roster limits. 44 game season. That's a lot...but not ridiculous.
The Majority of fans rate the trophies as follows:
1. MLS Cup
2. CCL
3. Supporters Shield
4. National Trophy (US Open Cup/Canada Cup)
5. Regional Trophy (Cascadia, Rocky Mountain, and whatever NY, NE, and Philly play for)
6. Historical Trophy (Heritage Cup).
So, obviously you would disagree with that (as do I)....but that's generally the order its looked at.
tl;dr: If the club wants to consider itself elite in the MLS it has to win trophies. Period.
LA Galaxy have 4 Shields, 4 MLS Cups, 2 US Open Cups and one CCL Title
DC United have 4 Shields, 4 MLS Cups, 3 US Open Cups and one CCL Title
Gotta get on that level.
