The Columbus Crew won the Cup with a 1–0 victory over the defending-champion Los Angeles Galaxy in the final at Columbus Crew Stadium. Just three days before, Los Angeles had won MLS Cup 2002.

Every third-round game featured an MLS team against an A-League squad. Although MLS won seven of the eight games, four went to overtime, including San Jose's memorable 4–3 win over Seattle. The Des Moines Menace turned in the best performance by a PDL team, taking Rochester to overtime in a 3-2 second-round loss.

gollark: Naturally.
gollark: That's why gollariOS™ will be entirely written in Nim, Lua and JS (+ initialisation assembly I guess), have no memory protection, use SQLite as a filesystem, make every kernel data structure a hashmap (or SQLite table), implement many of its features as thousand line regices, and have a network stack supporting only HTTP.
gollark: You should design exciting new mistakes.
gollark: At least make something innovative, like an OS which is entirely JavaScript run in ring 0.
gollark: Yes, why even do it if you're just going to emulate the mistakes of past unices?
