If they kept it to maybe 10 teams in the best markets, they could have spread the talent around. They just went crazy with expansion, at least the MLS avoided it, although I do wonder if they are starting to overstep things as well.
Yes, that might work. It would also depend on the season. If it were kept to the summer, it would only have to compete against baseball, so that would make it more competitive for fans.
Since I just came from watching an outdoor club tournament in New Hampshire on March 1 with games all weekend played from 8 am til 10 pm, I vote that it’s growing.
Also the New England Revolution certainly did their part to hurt American soccer when they recently let one of our best strikers, Juan Agudello, head to Stoke City.
A goal for the ages: (I was right next to the field for this gem)
