Gotta love that attendance for an American soccer game
KDB Football* not soccer
Thistle 1876 can’t we all just have a good time knowing we like the same sport? I was told soccer is the name of the game, That’s what I call it, football to me is the NFL
@@akulakaboom i think soccer is 4th popular sports in US， followed by american football , basketball，baseball and hockey，am i right？
Yeah go to a vancouver whitecaps game in the summer and see how crowded the stands are.
Soccer is 3rd
1st American Football
2nd Basketball
3rd ice hockey
4th REAL FOOTBALL (don’t call it soccer)
The MLS cup final and Super Bowl 53 were 57 days apart from each other held in the same stadium and the attendance....
MLS Cup 2018 - 73,019
Super Bowl 53 - 70,081
and they say nobody likes MLS or "soccer" in USA or should I say real Football!
The mls final was in atlanta thats why.
S.F.C. United uh.. Atlanta was in the mls final the teams in the super bowl were from California and Massachusetts
its soccer not football
@@wade2bosh If you're braindead then yes
Soccer o futbol is sport king in the world . apasionity unica ⚽🏅
50 years after the Atlanta Chiefs won the NASL championship, Atlanta is back on top of US pro soccer.
MLS will become a great League!
Лазар Лазар because of Atlanta
Not really... not YET... only at the finals!
@@RW_CreativeMedia I'll be honest with you, we have some amatuer players here in Brazil that would have much more skills with the ball than some of these players, you guys really need to pick up some skills or develop your own {but it must work on a game} because this final game here made me bored as i never been before while watching a soccer game.
Soccer is boring period. Hardly anything happens, the field is way too big, and the clock moves backwards, but I still find this more exciting than the premier league or whatever league they have in Brazil. I care about our leagues. We have a different way of developing talent here anyway, and I see it paying off. Amateurish? I don't know what game you were watching, but I saw some significant competition here.
Richard WILSON lmao Atlanta gets 70,000 per game not just a finals some other teams do struggle but there a lot
Of teams getting 10,000+ per game
*How countries celebrate a goal*
Spain: Goalllll
South America: GOOLLLL
Mexico: gol gol gol
England: YEAAAA
US: fyozjtsteflufru
Julio Sica wrong North America is also gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllll gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllll and maybe a few more of those. Don’t forget North America also includes Mexico.
@@jonathanbaeza4824 im so stupid how did i forget

Yeaaa is very nice
Nope. There's a GOOOOOAAL sponsored by audi.
The Atlanta win MLS Cup 2018!🇱🇷⚽️🎖🏆🎆
That's a Liberian flag
The atmosphere it's really nice,like it was an american football match. It seems likes americans learned to love football...that's adorable. MLS HAS FUTURE!
Ahh, I remember when the games were so hyped up and the told team was still together. I went to this game and it was PACKED. I miss those days…
Im gonna be honest, as a Timbers fan, I didnt have a lot of hope in winning this game. Props to Atlanta, you were clearly the better team. Our future looks bright under Gio :)
Same
actually your team was good at second half but your forward was weak to score a goal
I watching this match from Hungary in 2 a.m. on Eurosport!🇭🇺 Good job Atlanta!
Who cares you are from Hungary
STEFAN BIAM'Z
Seems so far 30 people
Yeah!
Socer with goal horn, nice!! from a huge hockey fan
I was so glad we won the cup it felt good for my city to share this moment it's been a long time coming
From Brazil, you are going to be great at soccer sumday ! Fantastic audience !
*Excelente Felicidades !!!*
Saludos desde Colombia ... Bien por la MLS
Saludos desde ARGENTINA!!!
Great game. Impressive crowd and atmosphere!!!
Atlanta curse ends?!
BuffaloMafia716 The Falcons are still cursed. Atlanta is okay
@@llkensowavyll
Atlanta U were superb these last two seasons ... there was no doubting who should win the trophy.
That stadium is surely the best sports stadium in the country ... well, 70000+ soccer fans says everything ... in the USA! 8)
@@llkensowavyll hey honest question: Y'think it's about time to get rid of Matty Ice and Julio and see what we can get for them in regards of rebuilding/upgrading the team?
Considering their aaf team got smacked last night, no
Hawks are still bad
One of the happiest days of my like ⚫️🏆🔴
Gotta' watch this every 8th of december; I will pass this tradition to my generations to come.
I know its not the greatest level of football and i still think professional football HAS to be played on real grass but im impressed with the atmosphere especially compared to the atmosphere during american football in the same stadium
Russian teams don't always play on grass. Too cold. You cannot grow grass in that stadium. No sunlight.
@@goonergraves9931 you can still install a retractable pitch so it can grow outside of the stadium many European clubs do it that way
John Graves lmao 95% of clubs have real grass in their stadium, wtf u even saying.
@@Die4dutch2 I'm saying that not everyone in the world plays on grass...particularly teams located in very cold climates. In the case of Atlanta United, indoor stadiums.
John Graves yh i get that but Atlanta Should be very easy. They have the resources and money to easily have real grass. Its a shame really that a club of that size plays on artificial grass. Look at Johan Cruijff Arena (AJAX Stadium) iT has a roof which is mostly closed in winter and iT aint very warm either there. Yet they have superb grass cuz its easy.
If Atlanta can win the concacaf this will put MLS on another level. Which means other MLS teams will have to level up their gaming or investment In their leuge like Atlanta owner did
Brian Padilla Atlanta may not win since they will a different team with some key players possibly not returning and a new coach.
Jonathan Baeza sadly I agree, especially the coaching part. They have some great players coming in. But we still don’t know who’s gonna be Tatas replacement.
@@mariopalomino8554 Pity Martínez just won the Libertadores (a much tougher and with better football competition) he is coming to Atlanta, Barros Scellotto is a great coach also, maybe they will bring Benedetto or someone else, Josef deserves to go to Europe with almiron, they are world class
They would walk CCL ... if these players and coach weren't leaving.
They are the most exciting team in the whole of the Americas - and they're being disbanded. It's criminal, it really is.
@@jazzx251 Atlanta United is not the best team of the American continent, MLS league is still very trash, it has a lot of money but it is trash
How can't you like American football when you have the real football ..
Not gonna lie, American football is not that bad. I still think real football is much better
I like both
Well, you can like both
American football nowhere competes near real football😉⚽️
@Ploke Newo78 America football is not as popular as soccer lol
Who would win a penalty shootout?
Like: Atlanta
Comment: Portland
Zook 3961 Portland is the last team you want to play against in the shootout
Portland are penalty warriors bro
Che rembo
hi
Portland, no doubt.
3:48 dude saves Alexi Lalas's life
How tf did you see that!?
Chandler Apple I have really good eyes
I'm kidding, he mentioned it on his podcast, and where he was sitting so I knew to look for it
@@dirtybirdperson4020 Heard it too.
How fitting Darlington Nagbe wins the 2018 MLS Cup against his former team. You can't script that folks!
As Seattle Sounders fan, Thanks Atlanta 😏👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🖤🖤🖤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love the coaches’ group hug at the final whistle. You can tell it was long-suffering validation for Martino’s staff.
7:49 looks like fifa bug lol

Mereceram desde o primeiro minuto. Parabéns.
i think the mls is officially on the map
the curse is over
Not over. MLS is not a big 4 sport
PENSDYNASTY 2020 make it big 5. MLS is growing
@@GLee-oe3op not big 5. MLS cant even reach a billion dollars in revenue yet. The quality is trash, and only cities that care are seatle and atlanta.. and that's only cause seatle doesnt have a nbA and nhl team. MLS players still get paid only like 150k..
PENSDYNASTY 2020 the quality is awesome at all games for all teams and plus MLS is the youngest sport so it is currently growing
@@brennanlfc3689 growing and yet it's still billions of dollars behind the big 4. The average salary is barely above 300k. The minimum salary for an NBA, NHL, and MLB player is 2-3x higher...
It’s crazy how Atlanta United actually won without blowing the lead, hopefully the falcons will learn from them
Good see popularity of soccer in US❤️
Back to back? 2019 LETS GO
Awesome season
Atlanta first mls Cup and there first time to the concacaf champions league
Remember this is beautiful, cmon Atl, the concacaf is the next dream and we will win.
MLS teams maybe play the Copa Libertadores !!!
That would be nice
Esses times da MLS na libertadores iriam apanhar muito.
Esse estadio é espetacular !!!!!
Vai ser estadio da copa
Coming back to this as a Brit who follows Atlanta, MLS has definitely ramped up the atmosphere, especially for occasions like this. Hopefully the glory days like this can carry on again 🤟
I miss the Atlanta team.
Almiron and Martinez. Legendary duo
ATL ATL ATL
Um sonho❤️
Qué equipo es el mas grande de la MLS?
Hay algún "Clásico"?
El mas grande es el LA Galaxy, la MLS varios derbis locales aunque no ha desarrollado un Clásico nacional
Nice and interesting to see Americans loving football so much
I always thought they didn't care about it
It's a big country alot of the fans are people that grew up on soccer or had their kids on soccer teams growing up or new fans of the game.
It was great :)
An 18-minute highlight, and they cut every celebration short. Someone fire that editor.
It's so dumb
GOOOOOAL
My advice to Paul Pogba ...
Go to Atlanta and shine like the star you deserve to be.
Mourinho's sacked...
You meant Florentin Pogba?? lol
I kinda like how they got the goal horn
XD
Something you don’t see in soccer
the rise of expansion teams!! austin fc’s year has come!
I have become a fan of Atlanta United
Like si crees que almiron es el mejor del atlanta,saludos desde paraguay
Josef es
Go Atlanta!!! for more one trophy!!!
The one from season 22 in the case😅
The flavor of the American soccer games is a mixture of NFL fan energy with Mexican Liga MX vibe, with a little Brit topping
Its somewhat unique
Thought I come back and relive Portland coming up short... oh wait.. just saw that again today!!!
Lol, I'm here for the same reason.
I WAS AT THAT GAME
ATL 🔥 🏆 4-life
16:44 I'm an Atlanta fan but this is a little bit rude how they already have the streamers on the field when the game wasn't even done
Back when ATL was the hottest team in the continent...how quickly things have changed over the pandemic
7:36 still can’t forget that moment I thought was a goal for sure was there live
*Darn Portland, I was going with you, **_what happened?_*
chainsaws are banned from Atlanta's stadium, so Timber Joey wasn't allowed in.
MLS 3.0 And the steps keep going up.
Before, the insults to the MLS came only from Mexico media. Now and on the occasion of the final, I have been able to read disparages from the European media ... they are starting to get nervous.
I'm from Brazil and I can tell you that over here most people, being fans or media, usually look upon MLS with sympathy and wish for football to grow in the US. I was very disappointed the USMT didn't make it to the World Cup.
MLS is getting better, no doubt. What is keeping MLS be really competitive or the best league in the Americas is the salary cap. We are the only league in the Americas that has salary cap in place which limit how much a team can spend. It's good for parity in the MLS but not good when you compete against other leagues that have no such thing in place.
@@oyaml1211 I think salary caps are good to help keep competition fair throughout all teams. There are small citiies that would not stand a chance if they had to compete against one or two teams with cash to spare. The league needs to grow first before it can relax some of the rules later. I for one wish salaries donxt get on the way of allowing fans yo buy tickets at reasonable prices.
Maybe having the salary cap in place is a good thing at this point. If you look at how the things are in Spain, France, Portugal, Germany... It's basically 2 or 3 teams battling for the title, year after year. Everybody else is merely an extra for they don't have the big money to invest. After a while, it gets boring. That's one of the reasons I watch the MLS instead: it's much more levelled, and anyone can win.
@@marciocoelho2481
Me too ... I'm UK ... I can take or leave the EPL, it's nice when it's on.
But I never miss MLS - I watch as many games as I can.
Anything can happen.
What would I rather watch ...
Man City v Chelsea
or
Atlanta v Portland
... Atlanta v Portland, easily
Go ATL hometown born and raised
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅👍👍👍👍👍 go Atlanta united FC.
WIIIIIN!
Nice
WHy does one team get the home advantage? Why not play the final on a neutral ground?
Because they earned it.
Rules
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuu
First goal is fault of Timbers deffenders, most of all Larys Mbialla which didn't leaved Jozeff Martinez in the offside and create good moment for Atlanta. Good deffenders should always control offside line.
@K Noche The free kick that resulted in the 2nd goal was due to a high kick... not a tackle. Not sure what you are talking about but you clearly don't understand how the game works.
Josef**
It looks like a football Match in southamerica or europe😉⚽⚽
We conquered Portland too easy
@K Noche that cause the east is better dude.
K Noche we just have the best side
@K Noche
I think you're right.
I would get rid of the playoffs, and merge the teams into one division.
Most points wins, simple as... like in every other country.
Atlanta would still have won - I don't think there's many that would question that they were the best team in the whole league.
@K Noche But wait a minute...didn't the East host an MLS Cup final before this POR/ATL tilt...and the West (Seattle) won the Cup on the road?! And wasn't Toronto's title also claimed ON THE ROAD?! 😝😝
@K Noche They hosted because their teams finished with the best record. It makes sense and is fair. We are already stuck with playoffs, so stop trying to make them worse by rendering the entire season pointless... I'm tired of people who watch one game and wondering about this...
One day there will be a game where the mls winner plays against the champions league winner
It's called the club world cup
And the MLS teams have to win the concacaf champions league first in order to qualify for the club world cup
Damn, the MLS is better than i thought...
Thanks! I assume you’re British? If so, thanks for not being a Eurosnob LOL
KawaiiToast bruh im turkish...
@@elturco7301 He wasn't insulting you, brother- just guessed wrong.
How do you think this league compares to the one in Turkey?
Abdu oof 😂 either way thanks tho
Ian Wright The Turkish fans are much more emotional and louder, but the MLS is much more exciting
One man left a comment on a video about the State of Georgia being a choking state (for sports). That man was wrong.
That was only in one game and not even in this sport
But they are a choking state. Nobody watches MLS outside Atlanta. The curse still lives. Win q championship in the big 4 sports and then talk.
@@wowbruh2511 '95... Guess we'll talk now
Rex, Georgia Samuel 21:2 🏆 ⚽
That field looks absolutely abysmal. Abysmal. It looks moth-eaten and threadbare. Considering the stadium cost 1.6 billion dollars to build, the *least* they could do is keep the field pristine.
Ruben T its turf
@@raulmenjivar9 That turf looks absolutely abysmal. Abysmal. It looks moth-eaten and threadbare. Considering the stadium cost 1.6 billion dollars to build, the least they could do is keep the field pristine.
@@Emper0rH0rde The owner of Atlanta United also owns the city's American football team, so they share stadiums. What do you expect
So is Atlanta like the Liverpool of MLS? (meaning they're the best)
No, not. They have not a very good roster and now they have a bad head coach.
@@UnknownPerson-uw4rh How are not they going to have a good list? if with only Josef and Almiron they take the stolen game to all
No as Liverpool are not the best
@@UnknownPerson-uw4rh These wrong, Josef Martinez continues to break, yesterday made a poker against the Tijuana of Mexico in a friendly, with that add the signing of the Pity Martinez more Ezequiel Barco and say that also arrived the brother of Pogba, the Atlanta goes by the concachampions and are Reforzand or down Almiron
Can anyone explain to me why does atlanta united have a lot of fans?
I don't know if there really is a definitive answer to why. One reason is because they were winning. It's easy to draw fans when you win. A bit deeper is that Atlanta is something of a sleeper town when it comes to soccer. One thing some people didn't really consider when they were saying MLS wouldn't work in Atlanta was that Atlanta has a fairly significant immigrant population. Having been at many games, it is always awesome to see the diversity at their games. So Atlanta had a good potential basis of support from the start. They hired a coach that brought an attacking style that was fun to watch, even when they lost. For those first 2 years, it was something of a running gag to say "when Atlanta plays, someone is getting blown out. It might be Atlanta, it might be their opponent" because Atlanta tended to keep attacking, even to the point of leaving themselves open at the back.
After Tata Martinez left (he was never going to stay more than a couple years, to be honest), we ended up hiring a coach who preferred a more deliberate style, and it hampered the team built for a different style. So things have been a bit more tempered the last couple of seasons.
It doesn't hurt that Atlanta's stadium (built for both football and soccer) has a greater potential capacity than most (probably all) soccer-specific stadiums in the country. Even the "normal" capacity for soccer games of roughly 42K is greater than most of them, while for bigger games it can fit roughly 72K.
I'm sure this isn't really a complete answer, but I hope it helps.
@@aethyr6776 omg, thank you for your explanation. Apreciate that 👍🏼
Great win by ATL United but still not a "MLS Super Team" like Alexi Lalas proclaimed, but maybe after a couple Supporter Shield titles and winning 3 MLS Cups in the next 5 years.
Anyone here in 2020 cuz now we suck?
6:10
Guzan made a save? Disgusting witchcraft.
Wtf are you talking about, he's amazing
Why play only in the Atlanta stadium?
It's not fair they not compete again in timbers stadium
Because they earned the right.
@@fighterck6241 probably like a match fixing
@@jerjastrs95 No they had a better record during the season...
@@fighterck6241 ouw that's the rule? I didn't thought that for once
@@jerjastrs95 Even if it wasnt a rule, ther would be a 50-50 percent chance of either stadium getting picked for the final. Ridiulous to think that it's match fixing for a split second. ATL was also the better team throughout the season, so they deserved the title
What is this highlight 😅😅 just show important one not every tackle or ball touch
Aos que falam português e vem aqui crítica, pesquisa antes ok.
Muito mimimi
who thinks the mls champs should play the premier league champs
no
no
Why does everyone want to drive through the middle when there are 3-4 players waiting for you.
Quality of football is comical defenders are all over the place.
18:10
hahaha these highlights are wild. half of them have nothing going on in them, like successions of missed passes.
get someone who knows whats worth showing MLS?
They're extended highlights mate. Yous houldve looked at how long the video was before watching it
bush car
I love football ⚽ all my life, but when watching the American soccer, the commentators are old dated, it seems like listening to a radio 📻 with no TV. They don't need to tell us about their movement ( we saw it), they must comment about mood of the game ( the crowd, coaches, the individual players history, etc etc) like the English man does.
10:19 10:17
What?????if you played against a Brazilian team. Football needs honey
