Hey Watchmen pumo!

"Major League Soccer has the highest share of Hispanics by far (34 percent; second is the NBA at 12 percent) and the lowest income of any major sports audience. Nearly 40 percent of its fans make less than $40k."

liga mx does better in tv viewing than mls though some mexicans also watch mls. in general they're kind of snobby about liga mx being better than mls which is why it will be funny when mls teams start consistently beating mexican teams in concacaf champions league.

MLS fans: aren't you worried that having so many teams dilutes the talent pool too much?

Yeah, MLB/NBA/NFL all have 30+ teams but America has a lot of good players in those sports. We suck at soccer so why not keep the league smaller until we actually start producing good players in large numbers? Anything more than like 16 teams just seems crazy.

What US talent has been developed by the smaller MLS? The talent is probably getting better with expansion because we have more foreigners in MLS now. US talent development has been a huge failure.

"Ljl the league is worse than ever before,"

No way. Did you watch it in its first 10 years? It's the best it's ever been, though it's improvement has stagnated in the past few years as it has developed into a niche league. Obviously the quality of play isn't near the top leagues in Europe.

League peaked in 02-05ish

Back then MLS teams could compete internationally. Now they get gaped by liga mx trash

the mexican teams didn't take those matches seriously and they were one-offs. the new format is much better and the liga mx teams will for the most part be playing their a teams. the late 90s mls CCL wins don't really count

Yea, what is this guy talking about. I'm not even sure MLS was playing soccer for the first 10 years, they had bizarre rules. The teams were terrible, it was like watching a high school team play. They had the athletic kid, the kid with the weird haircut, the foreigner and they couldn't string 5 passes together or stay in position.

MLS is miles better now, its actually watchable. Actually think a few MLS teams could do decent in the English Championship

MLS doing well against Mexican teams should win the hispanic eyeballs they need to start snowballing growth in the league.

Well I think if the MLS lifted the caps they would easy be able to push past all but a couple of Mexican teams. But the way the league is structured, they really won't move until ALL the teams are in a financial position to do so. Even now though MLS is a pretty good destination for most central american and caribbean players.

Do Americans really want to watch a league of all foreigners? They can just watch EPL games in that case. I thought a big part of the appeal of MLS was to watch home-grown players that also play on the national team.

Talent dilution isn't as much of an issue for soccer which is truly an international sport. MLS can import plenty of talent. My issue with MLS is the league's strong push for parity through draconian salary caps.

there's a total team budget and a max and min on individual salaries. then there are designated player slots where teams can spend whatever they want on three players. then there is money they can use to buy down expensive players to below the max salary so they don't count as designated players. then there are homegrown contracts that don't count against the cap...

They need more teams. The only reason to watch MLS over other international leagues is because you can actually go to games. Until a few years ago they didn't have a single team in the southeast. Why would anyone there care?

They should expand to 40-48 teams and then split into 1 and 2 tier based on relegation. Owners can only relocate teams who finish in relegation in the 2nd tier.

lol @ our billionaires ever agreeing to relegation in any sport. unlike Europe or South America sports teams are nothing but investments and these guys dont give a shit about winning or improving the quality as long as they can sell tickets and make money

I think they would agree to it if you let them own a team in each division, and then only relegated the bottom team each year. Each division has its own salary caps but once a team is promoted they (permanently) have the higher divisions salary cap. Would ensure that even if a big market gets relegated they will have an advantage to get back up.

If they swallowed the USL thats about 60 team. Split into 3 divisions based on market size and every year the worst team gets relegated and the top team gets promoted. every team plays twice and then you have MLS cup where all 3 divisions compete knockout. Owners can own 1 team in each division, and can continue to own if they get promoted (but can't own a 4th team).

MLS is a monopoly and I don't think the owners would care about relegation as long as they still have that monopoly. A 60 team 3 division MLS would ensure it's the only soccer league in US/Canada going forward and would have a team in every relevant market. The division 2/3 clubs are not that valuable, giving current owners a chance to buy and lock in now would be a no brainer for many I think.

It's not THAT improbable in the future. We're a big, rich and diverse market. Without the enforced parity, we would, at this point, probably have a super-club or two that would be a mid-table or better epl team.

Galaxy would be top 6 EPL quality already if not for the caps. But with the caps in place they will never be able to match Barcelona or Bayern. But while I think MLS is dead wrong on a lot of things, like having playoffs, I don't think Americans would tolerate a league where 2-3 teams win ever single year for 10+ years.

Really all we need to do is be better than mexican, brazilian and argentine leagues. We are by far the wealthiest market in the Americas. Even with mediocre interest in the sport MLS could and should be the top league in N/S America. MLS will be a serious league when midlevel brazilian guys come here instead of playing for Real Sociedad.

so where is Columbus moving again?

the idea that both Columbus and Cincinnati need soccer teams is ludicrous. especially when, after the Bengals debacle, Cincinnati is never going to build a stadium.
