Here's a way to add prestige to the U.S. Open Cup and MLS Cup, and meaning to the MLS regular season. First, MLS switches to a single table. Top...
Years ago the indoor team the Detroit Rockers used to run radio ads implying the games were a good place to meet dates. Kind of a desperation...
Before they make games against foreign teams mean anything, they should first make sure games against other MLS teams mean anything.
The U.S. Open Cup should be renamed the Why Bother Cup. What an annoying anticlimax.
...getting sleepy...offseason is here...it's been seven years with no home team in Detroit....not much to discuss....time to hibernate... See...
We're still stuck with an awful lot of bad team names. They sound like hip hop groups, not soccer teams. I still maintain that you can put any...
Metros new logo is better than all of them, including DCs, which is good but far too Euro. Metros logo blends American sports tradition with...
Maybe some of the skills competitions that are done at the All-Star game would work as halftime entertainment.
The Metrostars new logo is a great example of how MLS needs to market itself. A blend of soccer tradition and American sports tradition. It just...
The Metrostars logo was by far the worst MLS - the 9-11 connection really put it over the top in terms of horrendousness. There was no way the...
I've never seen liking other sports as somehow being anti-soccer. That's like saying that liking pizza makes you anti-hamburger. I think a...
The main question is whether the announcer will say "as if anyone cares" afterward.
Do it.
Come with me on a journey of pure fantasy, and imagine an MLS that looked like this: Revs: Blue shirt, white shorts, bright red socks...
If the Revs are a great team then the regular season meant nothing, because they lost more than they won. I think that must be the case....
Is MLS still losing money?
Since MLS has lost so much money since its inception, I wonder how long the ownership is willing to take losses before they would close up shop....
Your thoughts?
I like the Shield concept, but I don't think any player in MLS would trade a Shield for an MLS Cup. The Shield remains a "phantom trophy" that...
I'm kinda pulling for the Revs, because a sub-.500 team winning the MLS Cup will finally start ringing the MLS brass' bell to the fact that the...
I say go for it. You can always go back to the old way if it doesn't work out. I for one would be very interested in the new format. I really...
I'm in favor of any system that puts meaningful MLS games on the tube.
All season long we've seen the games with little on the line all to find out if DC is bad or not-so-fine. Now MLS will tell you It's...
The MLS format that I personally would like best (and yes, this is subjective) would be to eliminate the playoffs entirely, except for having the...
A very creative idea. I like it - not sure if it could be arranged, but I like it anyway. You're really thinking out of the box.
