Excerpt, MLS Gaining Mass Popularity in America:
Quote:
Soccer America is also widely known. They may not be as popular as Mexico and Europe but they are on their way to the top. They organized a league, the Major League Soccer (MLS) in 1993 and have fourteen teams in the U.S and Canada.
They are slowly making a name most especially that David Beckham is already a part in one of the teams, the LA Galaxy. This has been a big issue since Beckham is from Europe and accepted the deal from his current team. In the World Cup 2006 fans are somewhat disappointed thinking that the team lacks determination but MLS worked hard on it and is stating to be competitive and heard in the soccer nation.
It has improved since 2003 and players have been aggressive on the game. Fans are getting more passionate as well and supportive. All clubs under MLS are really talented and perform well. There might not be enough teams and clubs in soccer America but they are planning to expand in 2010, fans surely would be glad.
MLS have a big plan and surely they would compete with other popular leagues. They been focusing of trainings and searching for potential players so that they can be comparable to other European and other soccer nation even though they have been through ups and downs yet they have survived.
In 2010 they are planning big and will be finishing a stadium in Philadelphia. Fans can't wait to cheer and sing their heart out for the upcoming events.

I think it definitely beats Lacrosse by several miles though.
MLS is doing far better than MLL. The future is bright.
Oh and tmac, my post was referring to Dallas' 3 near championships in the past 5 years, two of which happened this year. It was a year for mixed emotions.
