The 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs have arrived, and instead of giving you our thoughts on each team, we decided to reach out to our sister sites around the SB Nation soccer network for insight. We asked three simple questions: why their team will win MLS Cup, why it won’t win MLS Cup, and an under-the-radar X-factor for their team.
Why NYCFC will win MLS Cup: From top to bottom, they are the most complete side in MLS when healthy. The combination of Alexandru Mitrita, Heber, and Taty Castellanos in the attacking third has been stellar since Heber’s arrival early in the season.
