No, it is on the FIFA calendar, which means mandatory releases
The gap is not all that large to ligue 1, especially if you exclude psg. There are a lot of mls payrolls at or above the median in ligue 1.
I mean, sort of that works on a surface level. The very easy second order analysis is "we will make more money and help grow our league's profile...
I definitely did, but I have been following soccer since before MLS and I am kind of a history buff, so I always like learning about the history...
Yeah, looking around it is even worse than I remember. Generally England salaries are reported pre-tax. Some other leagues report post-tax....
it's been a while since I read that but I'll see if I can find a link once I get home
Eh, we've discussed the problems with good reporting on salaries, but something I learned looking at into that us that typically euro player...
Where do they play?
There is no evidence that the Fed has any interest at all in pushing or forcing MLS into a pyramid. It has been litigated to the highest levels...
Can't say I've seen a lot of Eupen beyond highlight reels, but I'm pleased by the improvements I've seen from Slonina. Particularly on coming out...
I'd actually argue that this IS the way cups are treated in more football-centric countries. See the previous link I posted. I'm not saying it...
This in so many ways is actually reminiscent of European soccer culture. So many of the big clubs there send a reserve/rotation squad to the...
SUM has no relationship with USSF any longer.
I love the IDEA of the Open Cup. It really appeals to me. But is there any evidence that soccer fans like it and it will help grow the sport...
I'm old enough to remember both Giuseppe Rossi and Nevan Subotic. People will stop pining for Araujo when he is getting close to retirement.
Wow, the incompetence or malevolence of that...
I don't think Everton is a good team and that was a substantial penalty, but I think they will get enough results to be out of danger before the...
The person with the strong obligations to reach out to Heath is the person in charge of hiring. If Jimmy knew, it would be awfully nice to give...
The Von Trapps currently live in Vermont and run a bed and breakfast plus a brewpub. No word if there are progeny who are prospects for the USMNT
Although expansion has been a source of revenue growth, the obvious potential source going forward is tv revenue. MLS, I believe draws about 1/2...
Bringing in additional markets represents continued investment but also dilution of current ownership stakes. At some point, and for North...
MLS ranks 8th globally in attendance but is within a couple thousand of 5th. Salary info is hard to get definitive numbers on but MLS ranks...
There is a reason no other North American sport has pro/rel. I'm pretty sure if Euro sports were being organized today they ALSO would not adopt...
Slonina has been trending slightly up lately. Had a good game this weekend.
I don't think it is pedantic to point out the difference between "FIFA statutes require pro/rel" and "FIFA statutes do not require pro/rel, as...
