Knockout stage

[edit]

The knockout stage of the Women's World Cup, played entirely in early October, consisted of three single-elimination rounds leading to a final and a third-place playoff. Following a tie in regulation time, two 15-minute periods of extra time would be used to determine a winner. For the second and final time in Women's World Cup history,[citation needed] the golden goal would be used during extra time to instantly decide the winner in sudden death. If the score remained tied at the end of extra time, a penalty shootout would ensue.

  • Political banners (2019)

Major League Soccer revised its fan code of conduct in 2019 to disallow political signage and banners, and began enforcing bans and removals against fans displaying the Iron Front symbol, which is associated with anti-fascism.[1] In response to several high-profile ejections at matches, the supporters groups of Atlanta United FC, Portland Timbers, and Seattle Sounders FC staged various protests in late August. During a Portland–Seattle rivalry match in August, the two supporters groups remained silent for the first 33 minutes of the match; Sounders supporters later walked out of the stadium after a banner was removed by staff.[2]

The ban was lifted on September 24, 2019, following a meeting between MLS officials and representatives from the Emerald City Supporters, Timbers Army/107 IST, and the Independent Supporters Council.[3]

The 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup Final was a football match which determined the winners of the 2007 edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, a biennial regional tournament for national teams in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The final was played Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois, United States, on June 24, 2007.

The United States and Mexico contested the match, a rematch of two previous finals. The U.S. fell behind 1–0 at halftime but scored twice to win 2–1 for their fourth Gold Cup title.[1]

Route to the final

[edit]

The United States and Mexico are major rivals and had won all but one edition of the Gold Cup since its conception in 1991. The two teams met in the 1993 final and the 2003 final, which were both won by Mexico.[2] Both teams were automatically entered into the tournament as members of the North American Football Union, alongside Canada.

The United States and Mexico had already been invited to participate in the 2007 Copa América, held in Venezuela. The U.S. finished last, while Mexico were eliminated in the semi-finals and earned third place. Both teams reached the 2009 Gold Cup Final, which Mexico won 5–0; the United States had sent a reserve team to the tournament, which was played immediately after they had finished as runners-up in the FIFA Confederations Cup.

The 2019 Gold Cup Final was played at Soldier Field between the U.S. and Mexico, with the latter winning 1–0.

During the 1994 season, the Seattle Sounders competed in the American Professional Soccer League (APSL), the official second tier of professional soccer in the United States; at the time, the league was the de facto highest tier of soccer in the country. It was the first season for the revived Sounders in the APSL, having replaced the original Sounders who folded in 1983 after a decade in the North American Soccer League (NASL).

The Sounders were granted an expansion slot by the APSL and announced as one of the league's new teams on January 30, 1994. Club president and head coach Alan Hinton assembled a roster of local talent, including several from the former NASL Sounders and indoor clubs. Seattle finished first in the regular season with a 14–6 record, going 9–6 at home, but lost in the playoffs semifinals to the Colorado Foxes. The team split their home matches between the indoor Tacoma Dome in Tacoma and Memorial Stadium at the Seattle Center. A planned fixture at the Kingdome was moved due to repairs to the stadium's roof tiles.

Background

[edit]

The original Seattle Sounders played in the North American Soccer League from 1974 until 1983, shortly before the league folded. An amateur team for local players, FC Seattle Storm, formed the following year to compete in exhibition matches and the Western Soccer Alliance, which later became a full league. The league was merged with the American Soccer League to form the professional APSL in 1990.[1][2] The Storm played one season in the APSL and had an average attendance of more than 3,000, but went on hiatus the following year and later folded.[3]

A bid for an APSL expansion team named the Sounders was announced in September 1993 by former Microsoft executives Scott Oki and Neil Farnsworth.[4]

  • New bid, MLS competition
  • Plans for a permanent home with 15K to 20K seats and grass pitch
