    "So if FIFA doesn’t want to limit the financial damage, and considering the problems Sepp Blatter insists they didn’t have last couple of years, it likely will pick the United States.

    That could be a boost – at least financially -- to Major League Soccer, whose marketing arm Soccer United Marketing owns the television rights. As MLS Executive Vice President of Marketing Mark Noonan said, it would be easier to sell commercial time to live games in the afternoon or prime time rather than to sell them for matches in the middle of the night or on tape-delay."


    Would this mean that those people who do the accounting for the league, would post any profits as part of how MLS fared this year? If this was the case, the MLS would be able to claim profitability for this year (in the best possible scenario)...
    Is this how it would work?
