So, now that the participants of the MLS Cup Final are set, here is my take on how the game will play out.

Dallas (12-4-14) and Colorado (12-8-10) only finished four points apart in the ultra competitive Western Conference. Both teams are very physical and have a couple of difference makers in David Ferreira and Omar Cummings, respectively. Each team has a strong back line - Dallas only allowed 9.7 shots per game while Colorado allowed 10.2. To put this into perspective, Supporter's Shield winner Los Angeles allowed 9.63 while eighth playoff seed San Jose allowed a whopping 13.6.
