Steve Davis: Concerns linger after MLS tinkers with postseason format


If only the rest of us could gain an inner peace regarding the MLS playoffs as New York Red Bulls coach Hans Backe has.

The latest round of fussing and debating over the postseason structure commenced last week when the league announced a belated, revised format for 2011. This one was a double whammy. Not only were some of the unpopular elements retained, but the postseason for the 18-team league also was expanded to 10 clubs.

Last season I watched the Fire tank a Thursday night game in May to save their legs for a friendly against Milan on a Sunday. Total crap against Dallas, played Milan toe to toe. When you tell teams that the regular season doesn't matter, guess what? They treat it that way!
