PREVIOUS RESULTS † Overtime ‡ Double overtime ^ sell out crowd MOST VALUABLE PLAYER AWARD RECIPIENTS MLS SCUDETTO For the 2006 season MLS created their version of the ''scudetto'' (which means "small shield" in Italian). In Serie A (the top flight of Italian soccer), teams who win the league championship receive a patch on the front of the jersey signifying that they captured the title in the previous season. It is only during the subsequent season (year two after winning the championship), that the team adds a star above the team's shield -- a common soccer signifier of titles won. The MLS scudetto is a triangular shield featuring a backdrop of the American flag behind a replica of the Alan I. Rothenberg MLS Cup trophy. The 2005 MLS Cup champion, the Los Angeles Galaxy, will be the first team to wear the scudetto and will receive a second star above the team shield on the jersey during the 2007 season. DOMESTIC TREBLE It can be argued that any MLS club that wins the MLS Cup, MLS Supporters' Shield , and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in the same year has won the United States ' version of the "domestic Treble ". While several teams have come close to doing so, no MLS club as of yet has been able to claim the U.S. domestic treble. |
