another thing going slightly of the topic but, i havent realy studied the MLS a great deal so im not to sure weather there are teams that come from the same city/sate who play in the MLS, if there is then great, but if there isnt it takes away a little excitement and drama, theres nothing better than a side beating the derby rivals.
in the premier league theres Arsenal vs spurs, man utd vs mancher city or and team from the same city facing up agaisnt each over. derby matches tend to be more tense and exciting, bringing out the best performances. Imagine being english and being a Manchester City fan and getting promoted to the top league and being able to face your rivals, derby rivals. same goes for any club.
It might come down to the fact that at this present time u.s soccer doesnt have a big enough fan-base for there to be lower leagues or the standard from a lower league to the MLS would be to great, either way it needs to be sorted.
the teams who come last in the mls should be punished for coming last by relegation and the league below, the team winning it should be rewarded, clearly the team who comes last isnt fit to play in the mls right? therefore should be sent backwards while the team promoted should be giving a chance in the top division.
this would make room for many transfers from players leaving the relegated teams etc.
anyway us soccer is still young and it will happen maybe in the next 5 to 10 years.
someone tell me this please... does like basketball, or american football or baseball have relegation? if not it boils down to America wanting to make the own cultural and traditional rules and wanting to be different from the rest of the world. FIFA need to sort the MLS relegation/promotion thing out, it is simply not fair on the MLS champions and the teams who come one or two places above the bottem teams.
the only other way its going to be sorted out would be if you americans want it done, so get e-mailing or whatever to the board at mls.
DO YOU LOT WANT PROMOTION/RELEGATION?
