    Here you go. http://live.mlssoccer.com/mlsmdl/. You can watch every game from anywhere in the world. Except when they are on NBC or ESPN.

    It's not free, but it is much better quality feed than the NASL and USL can provide.

    I do believe SUM sold the International MLS rights a few years ago to some company named Silva or Silvia or something, maybe that is why they have to block it outside North America.

    Do you think those two things might be slightly related?

    Gee, I never thought about it. Something that you pay for being of better quality than a free service? Interesting concept.

    If I could just bottle air and sell it as better quality I would be rich!



    Yes I know that there are oxygen bars out there. :p

    Which doesn't answer the (unasked, but obvious) question of why you'd make a point that was so obvious.

    Sometimes I think you confuse the NASL for MLS. I also wonder if you even read the links you post?

    The opinion piece you posted talks about raising the A-League's $2.5 mil salary cap to bring in better players. The writer's opinion is that bringing in washed up star players like Del Piero and Heskey has been a huge hit and more quality players need to be brought in to push the A-League. It also talks about the $40 mil for 4 years TV deal the A-League signed and the upcoming Man U exhibition against the A-League allstars as signs of growth. The article fails to mention many of the problems still facing the A-League. Frankly, it comes off as your typical bigsoccer post prodding MLS to raise the salary cap because soccer is all set to explode!!!!

    None of what was said in the article even remotely applies to the NASL. There are no ideas for them to learn from since they do not spend that type of money on players, do not bring in older DP level stars, do not have a TV deal, are not looking to attract an international audience, do not have any sort of domestic audience, and are not the top league in their county.

    You know what ideas the NASL should follow? Ideas from other successful minor leagues.

    Folks that refuse to accept the NASL's role as a minor league have problems understanding how logic and real world rules apply to it.

    Reading comprehension has been established to be one of the areas that he is challenged.

    Hey does anyone here contribute to Wikipedia?

    I was looking at some of the NASL season pages and I am wondering if the teams should have similar formats.

    Is there a wiki standard format for regular season pages?

    This is what the Stars 2012 page looks like

    Because they're part of the vast conspiracy.

    Because they know you listen and will get honked off enough to rush over here and bitch about it.

    Because they got some bad mushrooms.

    Any one of a number of reasons, pick one.

    Because the Rhinos owner has shown time again that he has bipolar syndrome and he will probably tell us next week he is joining NASL.

    Those rat bastards, how dare they!!! Must have been that black tar heroin they did before they went on the air :D

    I hate to cloud the issue with actual facts and stuff, but apparently your listening comprehension skills aren't too sharp either. The NASL 'fold' line was spoken by one of the show hosts, who doesn't own either team. The Rhinos owner wasn't even on the show. Team president Pat Ercoli was, and he didn't acknowledge the remark.

    As for the rest of y'all, it's now been officially established that opinions can be "irresponsible", so watch yourselves. Speaking of which, the NASL is not minor league anymore. It's LOWER LEVEL, get it straight! :giggle:

    The comment was made by soccer sam and according to their website:

    MISL Rochester Lancers owner "Soccer Sam" Fantauzzo.

    Okay, but you have to admit, pro/rel is better for player development!

    The NASL was not mentioned at all in the segment with Fantauzzo, which ran from 42:43 to 47:37.

    Wrong. The comment was made by the host, who then followed it up with "Sam, do you agree?". He may have (I didn't hear a response from him), but he didn't state the original comment.

    Thanks for playing though, we have some lovely parting gifts.

    Why you consistently get your undies in a bundle over such things and rush here to post them is something I'll never figure out.
