This is what is all about, we are not the NFL, NBA, NHL,MLB, we are SOCCER A.K.A. FOOTBALL. This is the beauty of the game, soccer is full of surprises and i believe the final will be New Enland vs. Seattle and New England will win. Soccer is growing, even though we wont get the fair exposure at least like the NHL, or MLB, Soccer will keep growing in the States. The other professional sport leagues in the U.S. are scare of us because soccer in the U.S. is growing and will keep growing and we will still there fans, its a fact. I believe too FOX SPORT CHANNEL will become the leader in televising MLS games, like local FOX channels as well. Not only FOX SPORTS, but ABC might split games, in a conference way, like EAST and WEST. Fox sports will take East or west, and ABC takes the other half. I think Univision sucks with their MLS national televised games and ABC is good for the MLS, but not ESPN2. Knowing ABC owns ESPN and ESP2 and you know the rest.
In the next 20 years, MLS will have more soccer stadiums, new teams, new fans. MLS teams will also enter international tournaments, like Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana, and of course Champions of ConcaCaf. Then there is the U.S. Open cup, MLS League, Superliga. What do you think, am i wrong…….. its my point of view but everybody has its own way at looking at things. Another thing, NFL wont be the only professional sport league playing during winter in the U.S. Sooner or later, in the next 20 years, the MLS will play in the winter, and have a very different schedule. The league has to become a man, and leave the boy league status behind.
That is why, commisioner Don Garber must give heads up to those MLS teams in the NORTH of the U.S. who want to building a soccer stadium, build it with a retractable roof or have a NICE covering roof. The Don must also give MLS teams their option of choosing which brand, like NIKE or ADIDAS they want to be supply by, of course once the ADIDAS contract ends. That would give the teams a chance to desing their Jerzey with their taste, and start their tradition. This is soccer, not the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL. lets be patient and support our league, in order to be one of the best leagues in the world and bring soccer stars to MLS, not just one but 2 or 3 every season, in the next coming 20 years.

Why can’t DC United host Seattle? And why can’t the Revs host at all? And why isn’t the DCU-Revs game in Foxboro, so i could go?
