If the MLS moves San Jose to Texas and changes them to Club America....I would consider MLS one of the most disrepectful and weakest leagues in the world. How could you let our biggest national rival into our domestic league?
I don't think we have the technology or power as a species at this point to move San Jose to Texas. We could politically decide it is part of Texas, but that wouldn't actually move it down there.
Wow. A gadzillion posts on BS over six months about this and this guy suddenly wakes up and realizes that the league is thinking about relocating the Quakes? Truely amazing.
On the other hand, the Mexican fan is probably asking Chivas and CA, "How can you invest in the professional league of our biggest national rival? Not only are you pumping capital into a potential rival league to MFL, but you're providing additional roster spots for more US players to develop their skills at a professional level. Don't you remember 0-2???"
Disreespectful to who? How does a team moving dilute the talent level of the league? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
As difficult as it would be to move San Jose to Texas, it's even more unlikely that the Earthquakes will be moved there (or even taken over by Club America, for that matter). -G
Uh huh!!! Yeah maybe Sillicon Valley Sports will conjure up another supposed strong interested buyer to come out of the woodwork!!!
Isn't SSV a bunch of guys that went bust with the dot.coms? didn't they form SSV to make a quick buck? didn't they move and/or buy new cars? has SJ been had?
Will they have a chance to do that once Club America whisks the Earthquakes away come mid-August... or will it be on Sept. 17th? -G
You do understand the distinction between "Wealthy Mexican investors" and "Mexico," right? Because it isn't really clear that you do.
Don't feed the trolls - you're too good a poster for that. Only one on my ignore list and I've been much happier ever since.
We will see it in our lifetime, within 15-20 years a super league, of the best MLS and MFL and Canada, playing each other in a North American Premier League. You can see where AEG is going with this a mile away. AEG has taken over the management of Mexcio's national team rights outside of Mexcio. They are inviting teams into MLS and vice versa. I am going to bet anyone on here 100 bucks that AEG will buy a Mexican league team in the next 5 years. Baby steps!! This super league will consist of promotion and relegation. The relegation would be into MLS MFL and CSL respectively. It makes perfect sense and it is the absolute best thing that could happen to the world of soccer in our hemisphere. Its a natural evolution once MLS expansion is done. Once we get to 18 teams. We could have the top say 4 US and top 4 MFL teams compete for the North American Champions league. It would open the floodgates and arms to every single Hispanic fan of soccer on US soil as a fan of MLS soccer here and non Hispanic US fans. The rivalries and synergy potential is almost orgasmic Ahhhhhh I cant wait. The possibilties and competition would be beautiful. This is why I welcome with open arms any Mexcion billionare into our league. I would be willing to bet Vegara and Anschutz have talked about this already. Ciao
WOW. I thought I was the only one who had these thoughts. They were so wild and dreamy, and CRAZY, that ive always kept them to myself. Its a nice idea, one I largely agree with your points on, but I dont see it happening for quite sometime. Maybe in 20 or so years sure, but MLS has to become an incredible success, and pack its member club's stadia before we see anything like a superleague. I do kind of like the sound of APL (American Permier League) tho. The ONLY way I see this happening though, is if MLS is THE KEY PLAYER in any said superleague. I HIGHTY doubt MLS would set itself up in such a way, to only become the second rate league that teams are relegated TO, unless of course MLS itself, has the lions share of the responsibility/ profits from any said superleague.
Re: Mexico In MLS....Trolls??? Who is a troll here?.... whoever disagree with your narrow vision of soccer in USA or for intance whoever is not on the elite list....Or perhaps somebody out of the click brough a subject that you do not like to talk about ?? Patetic....just patetic....
Everybody that care about USA soccer dream of have MLS face any team on the planet and win.....Don't you? For now the mexican league could be a cash cow for MLS teams few games off season could bring all the Mexican fan$ to see few MFL teams to face MLS and harvest few dollars that are really needed to have MLS book on black ink, Hey we do not need to be scare about the open few can of whoop bass
Re: Mexico In MLS....Trolls??? I agree with you 100%. I feel like FCC is watching me. A few A**holes here on this site are out of control and they think they own the site. I just renewed my sub with them and paid my $$. If you say something bad about MLS they all on you like white on rice, I have season ticket for a major city with a very bad team and bad coach. I have supported MLS from day one and went to NASL games as kid. a few around here don't see that the league has major problems and somehow they have a blind eye to that and if a Mexican team buys into the league We should welcome them with open arms, anything that help US soccer and MLS I am all for it. And here's my # 10 Shirt that I was looking for.
Re: Mexico In MLS....Trolls??? I agree, I got booted out of the SanJose the poltical board and DC Uniteds board only for saying stuff that the majority didnt agree with. I pay money to this sight too and its crazy how this sight has been hijacked by a bunch of out of control moderators, aka 34 year old virgins living in their moms basements trying to dictate what MLS needs to do. The pathetic thing is they morons actually think MLS is listening to them. Its a joke. I think we need to begin a protest. Its such a double standard on some issues its a joke. I hope some of these A-holes realize that they are losing subscription members because of crap like this.
Actually, Stevedm, you were kicked out of the San Jose forum for repeatedly trolling about our team's potential move, and you were kicked out of the Politics forum for calling other people "************s" and "********************s". These things are against the BigSoccer Terms of Service which you signed on to when you paid for your membership. BigSoccer also loses subscription members because of posters like you.
