Overtime gone - what should be next?

Get rid of the 1.7 million dollar salary cap. Double it bring in some exciting players and reap the rewards.

From your lips to God's ears.

I hope with expansition, the league will realize it has to sweeten the pot in order to lure players to come here and fill out the rosters.

I do agree that eventually the pay scale will have to be increased across the board. However, there is easily enough unused talent sitting on MLS benches to fill out two expansion teams. And as we saw in the US v. Grenada qualifier, there are also a lot of extremely gifted players in the CONCACAF region that would happily play in the MLS at the current salary cap if given the chance.

In an effort to be more in line with the rest of the world, MLS has decided to abandon the overtime period for tied games.

What other changes do you think MLS should make to align itself with the rest of the world?

What do you think?

next one is to play a fall/spring schedule , this will also get the US Nat team open dates for its games

single table will not work for the fact that we do not have promotion/relegation and the bottom teams have nothing to play for in its last few games

:rolleyes: hmm... i think it could make the U.S. more of a "soccer nation" if we did do the promotion and etc. with the other u.s leagues. but then i dont think ther are enough teams, so wat they should do is mix all the "amature" leagues together, mix all the "almost profesional" level leagues, and put some more teams in the "higher" level. so, ther will be sort of like three levels...

Premier level
Division 1
2nd Division

$h!+, i just wish this was something that can actually happen for soccer in the u.s.... but soccer here is sort of like american football somewhere other than u.s.... :(

******** promotion.. w/ mls already losing money a team that goes to the 2nd division will most likely fold.

First of all, there should be a single table and an extra bonus depending on where you finish. It is kinda ridiculous that all but 2 teams go to playoffs. Something needs to be done with that.
