Where were you on December 6th? I was watching the MLS Cup Final: Inter Miami vs. the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Only one could leave with the Cup and add the most prestigious trophy in the MLS to their already historic career.

If you haven’t heard, the Tampa Bay Sun FC were crowned champions of the inaugural USL Super League championship.
