After watching an EPL or La Liga match, watching the MLS is like watching Instruction League baseball.
Anybody that thinks soccer isn’t growing in the USA isn’t paying attention (because they aren’t interested anyway).
Since I moved to this country (from UK) in 1987 I’ve seen things go from no soccer on TV at all, to occasional midnight EPL games, a regular EPL schedule, MLS growing, Fox Soccer Channel...etc. - now I’m seeing Fox Sports Detroit have games, ESPN, ESPN2 - with multiple live games on each of them.
No, I don’t see soccer becoming the top sport as is everywhere else...as mentioned we have 4 other sports.
fyi...the new Seattle team is getting huge crowds...it IS getting momentum. I’d like to see a team here in the Detroit area...we could certainly use any new business we can get.
