Nah.

African players in general are surprisingly shit. There are of course exceptions but by and large, they're not very good. They're pacey though and will play a proper 90 minutes. You wouldn't want a team with more than 3 or 4 of them.

>>64048244
The american equivalent of the FA Cup is the US Open Cup. Kansas City won this year.
The trophy for winning the league (i.e. the regular season champions) is the Supporters Shield, which was won by Red Bull New York.
The MLS cup doesn't have a yuro equivalent because playoffs aren't a thing (except for determining pro/rel).

MLS not popular enough for neutral site sellouts
>>
>>64048961

Regular season m8. There's already little enough home field advantage for teams that do well throughout the season anyway because MLS still insists on two-legged aggregates for most of the playoffs (bring back Bo3 IMHO)

We used to neutral site but it didn't sell well and it was inferior from a competitive perspective.

>>
>>64049777
In american football and other american sports, there's ads every 20 seconds because the play stops constantly.

In soccer there are no commercial breaks until halftime, which means there isn't the same amount of ad-revenue.

Jersey sponsorships are a good way to make the money back

it generates a lot of money and once you're used to it is WAY less obtrusive than commercials.

Aren't they trying to put jerseys ads in the NBA?

Wow, what an archeological treasure

I was hoping someone would try to correct me with the exact age of major league soccer. Or even beter, pull some other even sader and now defunct league out of their ass and call it history. Portland and seattle fans are particularly bad about this

The point that went over your head is that there's actually nothing wrong with being new and not having a storied history. Just be honest about it for fucks sake

How's this?
>MLS has 4 divisions, upper and lower East and West, each with 7 teams
>Best team from each lower division replaces worst team from the respective upper division for the next season
>Mostly just determines schedules, lower division may or may not count as Division II, and teams can participate in playoffs and face upper division teams in regular season

You seem unaware that you're actually the pretentious hipster in this equation. If the teams had been names the Rams and The Bears or whatever you'd criticize for different reasons.
And scarves? You're whining about scarves? wtf? really?
Why are you in this thread at all, is /b/ down?
>>
>>64050888

These are the formative years of American soccer. Now is the time to innovate. We should have been first w/ goal line tech. We should be first to crack down on diving. We should be first to use instant replay. It's frustrating how American soccer fans are blindly taking in the worst parts of the sport bc that's how everyone else does it and everyone is is so much smarter than us stupid Americans

I meant financially
For a league that is underpaying shit players that shit is going to be a reality
MLS originally did a bunch of new shit and no one cared
At least with this "meme" stuff they've been able to carve out an existence
They've been stricter on diving
I personally think replay sucks and should be taken out of all sports

Instant replay is how you get rid of refball!!!! Sports should be open to tech improvements. Goal line tech was obviously needed for a long time
