THE MLS DILEMMA (one of the reasons the USA Men's Team can't improve their game)

Monday, 17 September 07, 06:38 PM

I'm back my friends. After a loooooong vacation!!! I deserved it after the Copa America coverage!

But well, here I am. And as I promised you I will fearlessly talk about the whole "Beckham coming to America" thing and the MLS league.

We all waited anxiously for Beckham to arrive, then we waited for him to recover from his ankle injury, then we waited for his first goal and now he's injured again and we're waiting, waiting, waiting...

When is the waiting gonna be over for good soccer here in the USA?

I'll tell you when.

The teams are starting to realize that they need to bring renowned players, that's good. They are also understanding that nothing happens without good dedicated sponsors and media coverage. That's been happening too. (FC Dallas has been smartely using YOUTUBE to help promote their stuff, great job y'all) so, what else can they do???

I personally admire the commitment that the MLS management has with the league, the fans but I think the should start following what every other SOCCER league in the world do: BRING THE EXCITEMENT!!!

HOW???

What happens in the end of every MLS season? We have the championship game, right? excellent!!! But and then what? What about the following season?

Well, then we start it all over with the same teams... THAT'S WRONG!

They need to bring the PROMOTION / RELEGATION system!!!

And it's simple:

Starting next season, of course, they could invite at least 8 teams (it could be from the USL and/or from a Canadian league) to form a 2nd Division of the MLS.

These teams would receive the support from the MLS teams kinda like a older brother system to help them deal with all the MLS requirements.

Then in the end of the season the 3 best teams from the newly created 2st. Division get prmoted to the 1st. Division and the 3 worst ones from the 1st. D. are relegated.

What is the outcome of this?

EXCITEMENT!!! SOMETHING TO FIGHT FOR!!!

There should also be created a partnership with the comenbol to allow the MLS Champions to participate in Copa Libertadores... which one day could lead a well structure MLS Team to participate in the FIFA World Clubs Championship.

 But it all needs to start by making the MLS STRONGER!!! MORE COMPETITIVE AND EXCITING!

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT????
