High Probably LAFC and Vancouver Will Play 3 Games Back to Back to Back with New MLS Postseason Format... with a Possibility of 4! (www.espn.com)

If Vancouver beats LAFC this weekend, RSL beats Colorado (likely), and Houston beats Portland (likely), then the first round of the playoffs will have LAFC playing Vancouver in a best of 3. That would be minimum of 3 games in a row between the two teams and a possibility for a 4th game.

I kind of hate it.

I didn't check Eastern Conference, but there is also a very very low likelihood of Houston and Portland playing 3-4 games in a row. That requires Seattle, Dallas, and San Jose all losing, LAFC losing, and Houston beating Portland by enough goals.

MLS and my owner (Houston) pissed me off so bad that I stopped watching for a few years. What the hell is this playoff format

The round of three is such a cash grab and so dumb.

Hahaha, yeah, I'm hoping for a scenario where Timbers lose by a ton and all the other dominoes fall where both HOU/PDX and LAFC/VAN play 4 games in a row to highlight how damn stupid this new playoff format is. I'm pretty sure that is a possible scenario.
