Captalize cup in all of its mentions outside of MLS Cup
Not done, per
MOS:SPORTCAPS; "cup" alone does not warrant capitalization.
Venue
"The then-unfinished Home Depot Center was announced" - under construction
Done.
"including the final match." - just
final will suffice
Not done; "match" is included for clarity, as "World Cup Final" can be used to described the tournament as a whole (in contrast with the qualification rounds).
Route to the final
Delink United States since it is a major geographical location
Done.
"Each team played a total of 30 match in the regular season" - matches
Fixed.
"MLS Cup 2002 was contested by the Chicago Fire," - don't you mean MLS Cup 2003?
"San Jose clinched their series victory" - clinched a series victory
"Their" sounds better in this context, as it wasn't just a series being described here.
Broadcasting and entertainment
"ABC/ESPN provided 20 total cameras" - ABC/ESPN provided a total of 20 cameras
Done.
"The match was also broadcast live within the U.S." - The match was also broadcast on radio live within the United States
Done, with the short form of U.S.
Summary
Make it clear to non-soccer readers that Zach Thornton was a goalkeeper
Done.
"who sized on a mis-cleared ball from Chicago" - from whom in Chicago Fire exactly?
The player is not identified in the sources, and I can't seem to find out who from the replay videos.
Post-match
Re-instated is a solitary word without the hyphen
Fixed.
References
Reference 49 is lacking the source's page number
The database did not list a page number.
Overall a good effort. Not too much is lacking that is stopping this article from becoming GA class.
