Watching MLS Commissioner Don Garber try to answer questions about the league’s competition format on Monday night’s Fox Football Fone-in felt like watching an art teacher give painting lessons to the color blind.
To his credit, Garber maintained his composure as hosts Nick Webster and Eric Wynalda and a few inarticulate callers threw out terms like “single table” and “European calendar” without ever explaining what it was they were after. Every year at this time, MLS faces cliched criticism from “hard core” fans who insist “our” league should be just like those in Europe, without ever explaining how or why. The truth, however, is this (and Garber knows it): Playoffs are the fairest and most exciting way to determine a champion, and this year’s MLS Cup tournament promises to be one of the most balanced in some time.
