NBA's #2... unless you include college football, then yeah, it's #3. But like Acajack pointed out, MLS's best chance is to knock out the NHL... as America's #1 "non-American" sport. Yeah, that could happen. It is the Stanley Cup finals right now, yet I can't find a game on one of the major networks. Even the Arena Bowl is televised on ABC. Where's the Stanley Cup Finals, hockey's biggest event? On Versus.......
Versus carried the first two games. The rest of the series has been and will be on NBC. Saturday night, 8:00, was game 4. Game 5 is tomorrow at 8.
If you get rid of offsides, it would destroy the sport. It would become a cherry picking contest.
Just imagine if they got rid of the offsides rule in American Football and Defensive Linemen didnt have to wait to go after the QB and then every play would end in a sack. Thats about what it would do to soccer.
Poor analogy. It would be the same as adding a rule in Football saying that a defender has to be between a wide receiver and the goal line on a pass play. In addition, you don't see this kind of thing in Basketball or in Hockey... so, your argument fails.

My point was the fact that eliminating offsides would change the entire game and basically ruin it. In that respect my argument is fair. Eliminating offside or neurtal zone infraction in football would ruin the game as football fans know it today. Which is exactly what it would do to soccer. I dont see how that argument fails at all.

Think about the line of scrimmage. This is essentially the case. The only difference is when you can make a pass.
Except it’s not. I had Revolution season tickets for a bunch of years and lost interest. The best MLS teams wouldn’t be all that competitive in English Championship League. It was great parking up front at Gillette and having excellent seats but it’s just not very good compared to EPL or the strongest European leagues.

Some of the bottom teams in the EPL aren't really all that great either.
Top salaried teams in the MLS spend $20 million.
Bottom salaried team in the EPL spends £12.7 million ($17 million).
The plus side for me is that the MLS has improved each year I've watched it.
mls. do they know they can build up attack with passience and skill. not just attack and go forward through a brick wall basiclly sometimes is just is this european football or soccer. and it is soccer and soccer is boring
