I love Mexico except for when we're playing them. But it's because I did church service in Mexican communities and love the people and the culture. Just not the fans at Estadio Azteca, that's for sure.
Also happy to see OCSC get an mls side. They've been turning out by the thousands for USL pro for years.
The talent in mls is still going to be diluted between this, NYCFC and the two more expected to follow them in these next few years. The league is going to have to figure out how to attract more top talent, and quickly. At some point that's going to have to include getting New England, Seattle and Vancouver on to better pitches and moving the league schedule to the FIFA calendar. Going to suck how to figure out for New England and Toronto in particular.
The USL is a great 2nd tier league, I loved watching the Charleston Battery. Orlando deserves a team way more than Miami. I wouldn't mind starting the schedual to match with Lige MX. Don't need it to be with UEFA
One story that's sort of getting lost among the mainstream is SKC's rise to the status of a premier pro sports attraction in a city with other multiple major pro teams. Not saying they're on the level with the chiefs, but to this point I think Seattle is the only other city that has been able to make that kind of claim. That bodes well for the rest of the league, especially in a relatively meat and potatoes type of town like KC.
That would work too. I think the biggest key is to try and make the CONCACAF CL a premier competition. MLS has alreay gone a bit of the way in awarding extra allocation funding to clubs who get into and progress in that tournament.
I think the next two cities to be awarded MLS sides will be Miami and a second southern city. Raleigh, Charleston and Atlanta are all in that mix. I think any of those three could cut it, not so sure about Miami though, even with the backing of Becks and Lebron.
Tough result. 2 off the post in regulation and Collin (who scored the equalizer) got away with murder on Findley early and should have had 2 yellows.
It was poorly officiated both ways. Ref couldn't decide if he wanted a physical match or not. SKC is probably the better team, but I thought we played the better match in regulation (at the very least we made better use of our chances), particularly the second half. Congrats.
