Oh dear. Disaster in South American football. A plane carrying a Brazilian football (soccer) team, which was enroute to play the South American equivalent of the UEFA Cup Final (continental championship), crashed. 75 of the 81 people on board died. The 6 survivors include 3 players on the team, 2 crew members, and a journalist. Three other players were not on the plane. The final has been suspended, and the opposing team wants to give them the championship. RIP www.theguardian.com/world/live/2016/nov/29/brazilian-team-chapecoense-onboard-plane-that-crashed-over-colombia-latestEDIT: Death toll has been reduced to 71, as 4 people (none players) didn't board the flight, but were still on the passenger list.EDIT 2: CONMEBOL has given Chapecoense the Copa Sudamericana title, and Atlético Nacional, the team that gave them the championship, has been given the Fair Play award.

I think they are taking the same approach as they are doing recently in the English league.

I think they are taking the same approach as they are doing recently in the English league. Well England doesn't have a cup final at the end of the year, so they can only really base it off league standings, and MLS should be able to see that. If you make it to the final, you deserve to be in the Champions League.

If you make it to the final, you deserve to be in the Champions League. I meant that in England, they have the FA Cup and the League Cup, and the winners of those Cups gets a spot in the Europa League. If the winner of one of those Cups already has a spot in the Europa League or Champions League (most likely through the league table), they just give the next best team in the regular league table that doesn't have a spot in Europe that spot (different from what they used to do, and let the runners-up have the spot)

Thing is, these cups are pretty much reserves games until the semi-finals, and the MLS Cup is so much more than that. MLS needs to recognize getting to this point is a massive accomplishment, and should be justly rewarded. Hopefully we won't have to worry about any of that though...
