You might as well for memes.

Teams in the West are definitely better than Eastern teams, although this year teams like Seattle and Portland are in a slump.

In the East Montreal, Philly, and Orlando are probably the best currently but that really isn't saying much. As a Philly fan I'm just waiting for the eventual collapse.

MLS is at best a high Top 10 league. At worst , a top 15th league.

You still have to give MLS some time, It's still going through expansion. There's too much money and cities and markets in the USA for the MLS to not succeed.

We might see 30 teams if not more.

Being in the top 10 league isn't that much of an accomplishment. considering how most leagues are from the third world and function as a seller/feeder league to bigger ones. When MLS reach the 'top 4' is where it will be taken more seriously.

this, its only a matter of time, once LA2 and Miami are here there should be an influx of big name players, it will probably be like 10 years before we domestically produce a true superstar in MLS though

>>67094363
Yeah its unrealistic to think MLS will be a 'top' league by 2022, just focus on growing it, raising the cap and better youth development and we'll be among the top tier leagues eventually

well yeah, just like pretty much every team is a feeder team for Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern etc. most teams in the world are going to sell, its just good business to get the most value out of a player there's nothing wrong with that, there's a difference between selling a really good player to a team/league he wants to go to and profiting from it and selling all your players because nobody wants to play in your league and they don't make any money
tl;dr MLS is doing better than ever, its definitely far from perfect or top level but its better than most in the world and is continuing to get better, people just need to have patience and stop shitting on everything american domestic soccer because its not at the 'quality' someone who doesn't even watch the league expects it to be to have interest

PROTESTS OVER COSMOS STADIUM PLANS

>(paywall link here)
http://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/elmont-residents-protest-proposed-belmont-stadium-1.11725868

>(TEXT BELOW)
Updated April 24, 2016 7:33 PM By Valerie Bauma

Members of the Elmont community joined Nassau County Legis. Carrié Solages outside Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s regional office in Hicksville on Sunday to protest a proposed 25,000-seat soccer stadium at Belmont Park.

The New York Cosmos soccer team wants to build a stadium in Elmont, one of four bids submitted in February 2013 for developing the state-owned property.

Solages, surrounded by about a dozen supporters, said the project was conceived without the input of the community, and that New York doesn’t have an appetite for soccer that would fill 25,000 seats. Protesters called on the state to issue a new request for proposals that considers the vision of local residents.

“There is no way a mega soccer stadium is even going to be filled with 25,000 people,” Solages (D-Elmont) said Sunday. “We deserve better. This is about raising the standard of a community.”

Solages said a stadium is likely to be an economic failure, which would be bad for the community. He said Elmont needs affordable housing and better-paying jobs — things protesters said were not addressed in the stadium proposal.

The Cosmos website said construction would create more than 500 jobs, and more than 3,000 full-time permanent jobs. The development would include the stadium, a movie theater, supermarket, hotel, nine restaurants and 300,000 square feet of retail space.

“The Elmont area is in desperate need of economic development,” Cosmos chief executive Erik Stover said in a statement. “Crime is rising, stores are closing and foreclosures continue to plague the community. If approved, our privately-funded project will have a massive economic impact in the area.”

The $400 million Elmont Town Crossings project would be on a parcel south of the Hempstead Turnpike and east of the Cross Island Parkway.

Three other bidders proposed privately funded complexes that would include retail, restaurants, a supermarket and community space.

Stover has said the state has taken so long to make a decision that the team is considering other locations.

Jason Conwall, spokesman for Empire State Development, said in a statement the agency is “re-engaging” bidders to get the best deal for the state. Officials did not provide a timeline for when they would reach a decision.

It's my understanding that "meme-team" is a squad that no one gave a fuck about and then all of a sudden attracted followers recently.

The MLS is 20, the other US soccer leagues are younger. By definition, literally EVERY U.S. SOCCER TEAM is a meme-team, and that phrase shouldn't even appear in /mls/ threads.

The dynamics are different. The company that's owns the Galaxy aren't not going tell LAG go by the way side. The only thing lafc has going for them is the location their stadium will be located. Galaxy owns LA.

They drop the price over the course of the season, though, because fewer games.
>>
>>67101511
NBA isn't strictly domestic, and the argument wasn't really about the Galaxy "folding."

The Lakers aren't folding, they're just going to be shit for twenty years, because the new owners (Buss's kids) don't know how to run or market the franchise.

Both LA teams can have success if they both do this, but my point was the Galaxy won't drop off until the current owner dies while fucking a 19-year-old strpper

>>67101790
>Galaxy owns LA
That's just because they were there first, and have an established fanbase. Same could be said for the Lakers over Clippers, but of course that dynamic changed when the Lakers changed owners and turned into the Chicago Cubs.

Two teams competently run and vying for their own fanbase doesn't happen in the US much, as traditionally one half of the White Sox/Cubs, Lakers/Clippers, Islanders/Rangers, Jets/Giants. Yankees/Mets...... one of them is always just playing really, really terribly.

Best example is the Mets/Yankees playing well at the same time, the Yanks are still king, but they still move some Mets merch. So, it's possible.

Also the Galaxy aren't 100 years old.
>>
>>67102329
When I said owns LA. I meant as far as soccer goes. Dodgers pretty much own LA.

AEG isn't going to let Galaxy go by the wey side. But as far as relevance goes in LA,lafc are pretty much the clippers in town. No one in LA gives a shit about clippers.
>>
>>67102595
I think its hard to judge that until LAFC actually starts playing.
>>
>>67102668
They have a long way to go. But I'm sure their arrogance will get them through it all.

That's because the Clippers have been shit since before they came to LA. And LA is a huge bandwagon city, they'll jump off that ship when they realize they're destined to win 20 games a year, every year, for the next 20 years.

>relevance
The Doyers can claim LA all they want, the Angels are smaller because the OC wants all that action. They could be the LA Angels if they spent the money.

Will LAFC spend the money?

That's just a cop out. The buss kids need to sell the franchise or take a backseat.

>>

As far as spending money. I'm sure their going go all out. But they never be able to put spend the AEG. I can't wait to see how desperate their marketing gets. It's going to be fun imo.
>>
>>67103134
>sell or take a backseat
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
>have to be stupid to support that
Well yes, but they're doing it anyway. "Oh, we're not successful in LA because we /CHOOSE/ not to be, we're Anaheim."

It's one of those chickenshit moves that's either so stupid it's brilliant, or possibly the other way around.
>>
>>67103197
On this, we agree.

Hoping for more of a "dividing the territory" situation, a la White Sox/Cubs, over a "have no idea what the fuck we're doing, become WHY for 30 years" a la Rangers/Islanders.

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN
>>
>>67103197
Fortunately for them there's only so much money to be spent in MLS. They'll at least be able to compete with Galaxy on big name DPs. The real challenge will be building a front office that knows the loopholes as well as Bruce and the Galaxy do.

http://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2016/04/18/q-a-with-atlanta-falcons-united-owner-arthur-blank.html

ABC: What do you do at Falcons games and how will that experience differ when you are at United matches? Are you a fan or is it work?

Arthur Blank: It won’t differ a whole lot. At Falcons games, I sit with our general manager Thomas Dimitroff and team president Rich McKay. In the new stadium, my fiancé [Angie Macuga] will sit with us as well. We focus on the field — it’s work. I’m a fan obviously but it’s work at the same time. Soccer will be very much the same way. I’ll be pretty intense and passionate when we’re playing. It’s my personality and nature. I’ll be a fan but I’ll obviously have a deep interest in what’s going on. Technically, rather it be American football or global football (soccer), my job is to hire the best people, get out of their way and let them do their work. They’re the experts, I’m not. I’m there to be a support system for them and to make sure they have the right culture, environment and the resources they need to be successful.

More like someone from Mexico or South American. Most people out of state don't understand LA. I think there will be a lot of liability for visiting fans. Walking to the metro station at night wearing and chanting out of town stuff won't fly. Exposition park area is notorious for strong arm robberies and murders.

Same here. I can imagine some ms-13 guys getting kicked out when the first few games go down.
>>
>>67103587
>>67103820
Gentrification, yes, but it's still a goddamn sporting event. There's 20,000 people leaving at once, the only violence will be amongst that group.

Sounders fans walk/chant through Pioneer Square on game days, and that is NOT a place you want to be after dark. As long as you're not standing in an alley until an hour after the entire crowd has hopped the light rail, you're fine.
