Way, way back in the primordial ooze out from which MLS crawled, the league?s powers that be conceived of a format where the yearly campaign was merely a prelude to the playoffs. Eight of 10 teams qualified for the postseason, the regular-season champion wasn?t recognized outside of a No. 1 seed, and some fans threw a snit.
Traditionalists cried foul, making one of two arguments: that MLS should do things more like they?re done in Europe, the birthplace of the game (bad argument); or that the playoffs devalue regular-season accomplishments (good argument).
