Some people just don't want to accept some things. In the last 30 years, we've gone from nothing to the current MLS which is now considered a major American sport.Quote:

I have more fun at a MLS game than any college football game that I've attended in the last 10 years. It's constant action and you can't take your eyes off of it. American football with its incessant breaks and timeouts is a buzz kill
I do know the MLS cup ratings were down almost 50% in 2024 from 2023. Not a good sign.Quote:

In Europe, there are many special tournaments that are conducted throughout their regular seasons. Each country will pause their regular season play to have tournament play between leagues across Europe. Yes, these tournaments are based on the previous year's final regular season standings in each country.
We have tournaments between clubs and countries here from North and South America. It's a little different than what they do in Europe.
Yes i realized it was different, thats why i asked.Quote:

If the growth were to continue wouldnt it need to adopt the same playoff/cup structure as europe?
