pointless for us fans but important to the league from a business aspect. Sports Business Journal had a nice piece on this a few years back....
What you say, along with green cards, certainly does cut down on spots for Americans, but if the league is to get to the full 28 teams they hope...
at least he killed in The Superstars :) Always nice to see some fans that go back a ways! I saw Kyle Rote Jr play live against the old Boston...
What does the bold mean?
This is a very good point. But it is a trade off I am willing to make. If we want the owners to keep building training facilities, upgrading...
imo, that time frame might be too aggressive. MLS has clearly closed the gap from where they were years ago, but the remaining part might be...
I think even the Mexican teams are giving the MLS teams more credit these days. It was not that long ago that Mexican teams sent almost entire B...
I agree that should be the goal in the next 20 years. It is achievable imo, but will still take a lot of work and investment.
Players on both sides had some unusual touches, balls getting stuck, scuffing etc. Some of it was probably due to the hand new turf.
I was pretty clear when I said the last 4 years. But hey, if you want to believe MLS is exactly the same from 2008-2012 as it is in the next 4...
it probably won't happen in your lifetime so best not to worry about it. MLS can still slowly improve though, it just can never really be a top...
Yeah this is pretty clear to anyone who is watching and is not a complete MLS basher that the competitiveness of the games would be closer. The...
I don't understand your question. The $90m is a national tv deal that is split between US Soccer and MLS. The MLS portion is roughly $70m per...
Sports TV Ratings @SportsTVRatings UCL Arsenal-Barcelona at 2:30p averaged 523K. Seattle Sounders-Club America: FS1: 173K UDN: 516K
MLS can still grow to be the biggest and best league in our hemisphere in ~25 years if everything goes VERY well, but that does not mean it will...
The gap is enormous and it is growing from a revenue prospect when comparing MLS to the big 4 in the US and the biggest Soccer leagues in Europe....
@DHC1 Hopefully you say my earlier post about this. One thing to note, the $90 million /year is not all MLS. It is split between MLS and US...
MLS already has preseason tournaments like this in various places. This year there was one in Carolina, one in Tampa, and one in Tuscon
I don't think anyone is saying that MLS teams are better, I think what people are saying is that you likely might see more competitive matches if...
The problem is not soccer in the US, it is MLS in the US. People watch soccer in relatively large numbers in the US but the audience is greatly...
In no way would this be bad. The US is going to need players from every source they have. Some cycles will see more domestic based talent,...
The weather issue is really tough to get around if you start scheduling outdoor league games in Canada or many US cities in February.
Yeah they are confusing mean and median. In general, foreign reporting of MLS salaries are usually very poor even though the data is completely...
last year it was announced at the end of January. I have not seen anything either way yet but with it being so late it would not shock me if they...
Gonzo's good play in Liga MX has not gone unnoticed by JK (story below the video in the link) Jurgen Klinsmann: Omar Gonzalez making case for...
