• ... that MLS Cup 2021 will mark the seventh consecutive final to feature either the Portland Timbers or Seattle Sounders FC? Source: MLSsoccer.com
  • ALT1: ... that MLS Cup 2021 finalists Portland Timbers and New York City FC both finished fourth in their respective conference? Source: Sports Illustrated
  • Reviewed: Did you know nominations/KOBF
  • Comment: Would like this hook to run on the day of the final (December 11 at 12 Pacific / the late UTC slot) if possible. I may have to change the hooks if it has to run after that date.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria (newness / expansion and length). Article is well sourced and I do not see any issues with language. Earwig's copvio test shows no issues with copyvio. ALT0 and ALT1 are both sourced and are interesting. The verbiage / usage is marginally different in the article, but, meets the essence of the message. e.g. seventh consecutive time that either SEA or POR are western conference champions vs the hook stating final to feature. But, to be clear, I do not see an issue. QPQ done. Approving both hooks. Request to promoter to pick this up for a special occasion run as requested by the nominator. PS: I will be cheering for POR (WP:CASCADIA). Ktin (talk) 20:02, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
