As a result, they will be at home for the remainder of the playoffs, and would host MLS Cup if they make it there and meet anyone other than the Supporters' Shield-winning Philadelphia Union."
"We believe that our collectivity is our superpower, Varas said. We say a lot to ourselves that we're here to win, but how we win and who we win with matters. And that's how we feel, really, at the deepest part of our DNA. [We're] a team that's relentless, that won't give up and doesn't stop playing the way that they want to play. And then a team that has a fighting team spirit, you know, one that, is always connected."
