About this print

The first MLS Cup was played in the rain at Foxboro Stadium, and D.C. United came back from 2-0 down against the LA Galaxy. Tony Sanneh and Shawn Medved scored late to level it, and Eddie Pope headed in a golden goal in overtime for a 3-2 win. Marco Etcheverry was MVP with three assists.

About Champs Ring prints

Champs Ring is the original radial sports bracket. Hyperakt's Deroy Peraza created it for the 2010 World Cup, and it went on to appear in more than a hundred publications and in design exhibitions in France and Spain. Every print shows one season's playoffs as rings of elimination rounds, with the champion at the center.
