The MLS Supporters' Shield
美國職業足球大聯盟支持者盾杯基本上等於「常規賽」冠軍，而美國職業足球大聯盟的正式冠軍則是由「季後賽」產生，這點與其他北美職業聯賽十分相似。
The 美國職業足球大聯盟 支持者盾杯 is an annual award given to the 美國職業足球大聯盟 team with the best 常規賽 record, as determined by the MLS points system - much like the Presidents' Trophy in the NHL. While MLS is similar to other North American sport leagues in that the winner of the end-of-赛季 playoff final - the 美國職業足球大聯盟杯 - is crowned league champion, fans wanted a way to recognize the team that would have become champion in a traditional soccer format: the team that scored the most points in league play over the 常規賽. To this end, the 支持者盾杯 was created and first awarded following the 1998 赛季. While the Shield remains an unofficial honor, it has been acknowledged and recognized by the league in multiple ways, and is seen by some fans as equal or near-equal in importance to the 美國職業足球大聯盟杯.
The MLS points system, like others worldwide, awards three points for a win, one for a tie, and none for a loss. In the event of an end-of-赛季 tie in total accumulated points, the win-loss record of head-to-head matchups between the tied teams is used as the first tiebreaker, goal difference as the second, and the total number of goals scored as the third. Should these measures fail to resolve the tie, the fourth breaker takes the previous methods and applies them only to away games, the fifth does the same for games played at home, the sixth awards the title to the team with the fewest disciplinary points, and, failing that, the seventh and final tiebreaker is a coin toss.[1] These are standard MLS regulations for breaking ties in point totals.[2]
In February 2006, MLS decided that the 支持者盾杯 winner and the 美國職業足球大聯盟杯 winner will represent the United States in the CONCACAF Champions' Cup.[3] If the Supporters Shield winner also wins the 美國職業足球大聯盟杯, the team with the second-most points qualifies as well.[4]

[编辑] 支持者盾杯冠军的诅咒
好些情况下, 支持者盾杯冠军实际上在下一个（或更多）赛季表现大失水准, 以下为明显例子:
- In 1996, 坦帕灣反叛足球俱樂部 won the first 支持者盾杯,[32] but could not achieve much successes in the next few 赛季s, either by missing the 季后赛 (1998, 2001) or getting knocked out in the Conference Semifinals (1997, 1999, 2000). They eventually folded after the 2001 赛季.
- In 1999, 華盛頓特區聯足球俱樂部 won the 支持者盾杯, but missed the 季后赛 in the next 赛季, finishing last in the 东部联盟 (11th out of 12 overall). In fact they also failed to make the 季后赛 in 2001 (last in the 东部联盟, 10th out of 12) and 2002 (last in the 东部联盟, 10th out of 10), while barely made the 季后赛 in 2003, finishing 2nd last (just a point ahead of last-placed 哥倫布水手足球俱樂部) in the 东部联盟 (7th out of 10), and they were knocked out by 芝加哥火焰足球俱樂部 in the Conference Semifinals with 2 straight losses.
- In 2000, 堪薩斯城巫師足球俱樂部 won the 支持者盾杯, but barely made the 季后赛 in the next 赛季, finishing 2nd last in the 西部联盟 (7th out of 12), and they were knocked out by 邁阿密聯合足球俱樂部 in the Conference Semifinals. In 2002 they barely made the 季后赛 as well, despite finishing last in the 西部联盟 (8th out of 10), and they were knocked out by 洛杉磯銀河足球俱樂部 in the Conference Semifinals.
- In 2001, 邁阿密聯合足球俱樂部 won the 支持者盾杯, but folded the next 赛季.
- In 2002, 洛杉磯銀河足球俱樂部 won the 支持者盾杯, but barely made the 季后赛 in the next 赛季, finishing 2nd last in the 西部联盟 (9th out of 10), and they were knocked out by 聖何塞地震足球俱樂部 in the Conference Semifinals, having actually taken a 4-goals aggregate lead in the tie.
- In 2003, 芝加哥火焰足球俱樂部 won the 支持者盾杯, but missed the 季后赛 in the next 赛季, finishing last in the 东部联盟 (10th out of 10).
- In 2004, 哥倫布水手足球俱樂部 won the 支持者盾杯, but missed the 季后赛 in the next 赛季, finishing last in the 东部联盟 (10th out of 12). They again failed to make the 季后赛 in 2006, with an even worse record (last in the 东部联盟, 12th out of 12).
- In 2005, 聖何塞地震足球俱樂部 won the 支持者盾杯, but were relocated the following 赛季 to Houston (as a brand new franchise: 休斯頓迪納摩足球俱樂部) without inheriting the franchise's successful history (especially being two-time winners of the 美國職業足球大聯盟杯 in 2001 and 2003).
[编辑] 支持者盾杯亚军的霉运
数队支持者盾杯亚军也在下一個（或更多）賽季表現失常, 例如:
- In 1997, 堪薩斯城巫師足球俱樂部 finished as Shield Runners-up, but missed the 季后赛 in the next 赛季, finishing last in the 西部联盟 (11th out of 12). They again failed to make the 季后赛 in 1999, with an equally dismal record (last in the 西部联盟, 11th out of 12).
- In 2003, 聖何塞地震足球俱樂部 finished as Shield Runners-up, but barely made the 季后赛 in the next 赛季, finishing 2nd last in the 西部联盟 (7th out of 10, only 2 points ahead of last-placed Dallas Burn), and they were knocked out by 堪薩斯城巫師足球俱樂部 in the the Conference Semifinals, having actually taken a 2-goals aggregate lead in the tie.
- In 2004, 堪薩斯城巫師足球俱樂部 finished as Shield Runners-up, but missed the 季后赛 in the next 赛季, finishing 2nd last in the 东部联盟 (7th out of 12). They again failed to make the 季后赛 in 2006, with an even worse record (2nd last in the 东部联盟, 11th out of 12).
[编辑] 常规赛垫底球队反弹
此外, 数支在常规赛垫底的球队却在下一个赛季有脱胎换骨的演出, 显著例子为:
- In 1996, 科羅拉多急流足球俱樂部 finished last overall with 29 points. In the next 赛季, they improved to 4th in the 西部联盟 (7th out of 10) with 38 points, and reached the 美國職業足球大聯盟杯 final.
- In 1999, MetroStars finished last overall with 15 points.[33] In the next 赛季, they finished 1st in the 东部联盟 (3rd out of 12) with 54 points,[34] and reached the 东部联盟 playoff final.
- In 1999, 堪薩斯城巫師足球俱樂部 finished last in the 西部联盟 (11th out of 12) with 20 points. In the next 赛季, they won the 支持者盾杯[35] and the 美國職業足球大聯盟杯!
- In 2000, 聖何塞地震足球俱樂部 finished last overall with 29 points. In the next 赛季, they improved to 2nd in the 西部联盟 (4th out of 12) with 45 points, and won the 美國職業足球大聯盟杯!
- In 2003, 哥倫布水手足球俱樂部 finished last in the 东部联盟 (8th out of 10) with 38 points. In the next 赛季, they improved to 49 points, and won the 支持者盾杯.
- In 2004, 芝加哥火焰足球俱樂部 finished last overall with 33 points.[36] In the next 赛季, they improved to 4th out of 10 (albeit only 3rd in the much more competitive 东部联盟) with 49 points, and reached the 东部联盟 playoff final.
- In 2005, 美國芝華士足球俱樂部 finished last overall with 18 points.[37] In the next 赛季, they more than doubled their points total with 43 points,[38] and reached the playoff for the first time in franchise history, having finished 3rd in the 西部联盟 (6th out of 12).
[编辑] 其他强劲翻身个案
以下數支球隊虽然没在常規賽（总体或联盟）墊底，但它们的下季强劲翻身也值得一提:
- In 2000, 邁阿密聯合足球俱樂部 finished 2nd last in the 东部联盟 (8th out of 12) with 41 points. In the next 赛季, they improved to 53 points, and won the 支持者盾杯.
- In 2002, 芝加哥火焰足球俱樂部 finished 8th out of 10 overall (albeit still finished 3rd in the 东部联盟) with 37 points. In the next 赛季, they improved to 53 points, and won the 支持者盾杯.
- In 2004, 新英格蘭革命足球俱樂部 finished joint-last with 33 points as well (tied with last-placed 芝加哥火焰足球俱樂部).[39] In the next 赛季, they finished 1st in the 东部联盟 (2nd out of 12) with 59 points, and reached the 美國職業足球大聯盟杯 final.
- In 2004, 聖何塞地震足球俱樂部 finished 2nd last in the 西部联盟 (7th out of 10) with 38 points. In the next 赛季, they improved to 64 points,[40] and won the 支持者盾杯.
- In 2005, 皇家鹽湖城足球俱樂部 finished 2nd last overall with 20 points.[41] In the next 赛季, they almost doubled their points total with 39 points, though that was still not enough to make the playoff for the first time in franchise history, having finished last in the 西部联盟 (10th out of 12).
[编辑] 有趣资料
- 仅有两支球队曾多次赢得支持者盾杯:
華盛頓特區聯足球俱樂部 (1997, 1999, 2006),

- In 2003, 芝加哥火焰足球俱樂部 narrowly missed out on the golden chance to clich a unique treble. Having won the Shield and US Open Cup earlier in the 赛季, they lost to 聖何塞地震足球俱樂部 in 美國職業足球大聯盟杯 Playoff final.
- To date, 芝加哥火焰足球俱樂部 remain the only MLS side to have won the Shield and Open Cup in the same 赛季. The other sides that came closest to this achievement were:
華盛頓特區聯足球俱樂部 (1997: Shield Winners, Open Cup Runners-up),
芝加哥火焰足球俱樂部 (2000: Shield Runners-up, Open Cup Winners),

聖何塞地震足球俱樂部 (64) vs 美國芝華士足球俱樂部 (18).
- The smallest gap between the Shield Winners and the Bottom Team was 16 points, which happened in 2004:
哥倫布水手足球俱樂部 (49) vs 芝加哥火焰足球俱樂部 (33).
- The 2002 常規賽 was dominated by teams from the 西部联盟, all of them (except 5th-placed 堪薩斯城巫師足球俱樂部) finished with more points than every other team in the 东部联盟.
- To date, 聖何塞地震足球俱樂部 remain the only Shield Winners (in fact the only team) to have completed a regualar 赛季 campaign unbeaten at home, with 9 wins and 7 ties in 2005.
- No Shield Winners (or any team) has ever managed to complete a 常規賽 campaign unbeaten on the road. The least number of road losses during a 赛季 was 3, a record shared by several teams. However, techinically speaking, 華盛頓特區聯足球俱樂部 only lost twice on the road in regulation time during 1999 (the 3rd defeat came from shootouts after a tie game), hence this made it the toughest road team to beat to date.
- The highest number of points achieved by a team at home during a 常規賽 was 40 (13-2-1), by 芝加哥火焰足球俱樂部 in 2000.
- The highest number of points achieved by a team on the road during a 常規賽 was 37 (13-3), by 洛杉磯銀河足球俱樂部 in 1998.
- To date, the 支持者盾杯 has been won 7 times by teams from 东部联盟/Division, 4 times by 西部联盟/Division, and none by the now defunct Central Division (the highest finish was Runners-up, by 芝加哥火焰足球俱樂部 in 2000 and 2001).
- The longest winning start to a 赛季 was achieved by 洛杉磯銀河足球俱樂部 in 1996, who opened the campaign with 8 straight wins.
- The longest unbeaten start to a 赛季 was achieved by 華盛頓特區聯足球俱樂部 in 1997, who opened the campaign 14 matches unbeaten (with 9 wins and 5 ties).[42]
- The longest winning end to a 赛季 was achieved by 洛杉磯銀河足球俱樂部 in 1997, who closed the campaign with 6 straight wins.
- The longest unbeaten end to a 赛季 was achieved by 哥倫布水手足球俱樂部 in 2004, who closed the campaign 18 matches unbeaten (with 8 wins and 10 ties).
- The longest away games sequence a team had played during 常規賽 was recorded by 芝加哥火焰足球俱樂部 in 2006, they opened the 赛季 with 9 straight games on the road. It is also worth noting that they and 達拉斯足球俱樂部 also played 7 straight away games in 2005.
