NEW YORK - Major League Soccer (MLS) today announced that Los Angeles Football Club was their 2020 Champion*
*(of teams that should be champion).
“When you look at the season as a whole,” stated Commissioner Don Garber, “we feel that LAFC were the best team that weren’t the best team but were also the best team overall, on paper.”
Sources indicate that writers and editors with Major League Soccer would present a 2 months series to illustrate exactly why this lineup and roster were the best* in Major League Soccer despite their recent playoff exit.
“I don’t think you can mark down the performance in a one off playoff game as an indication of their greatness,” stated one anonymous source. “But I also don’t think you can look at their performance over the season an indication of their greatness either. Their greatness really comes from perceived greatness, which is the greatness of a champion.”
With LAFC finishing the season seventh in the west, and knocked out of the quarter finals of the MLS IS BACK THE TOURNAMENT tournament, the team collected their 2020 Championship* from the league with ready arms.
“While the season may not have ended the way we wanted,” stated LAFC coach Bob Bradley. “It’s comforting to know that we are the selection of the league to be the 2020 Chamipons*.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the league writes a new article about the upcoming 2021 championship team for LAFC.
