Hi Guys,
I think this might be viewed as controversial but it isn't meant to be any more than debate stimulus. So please answer constructively, there is no attack.
The MLS is a closed shop, no relegation, so in effect it is an elite super league (IMO with what is going on in Europe, FFP, etc I don't like the elitist concept but if it works for you hey ..). This must have some sort of affect on other football in the states, as the best clubs that are not in this elite have nowhere to go.
How does the football structure work in the US. (Forget school college, I mean adults)
Are the best NASL teams on par with the MLS.
Do you ever envisage promotion / relegation
Are there cups, similar to the FA cup which are open to MLS & non MLS teams
There is a lot involved in some of this question
for instance your states are as big as European countries so logistics, I imagine come into it
Maybe Town leagues, county leagues, state leagues, Regional (state) leagues, National league ?
Are there teams that should be in the MLS (in your opions that are not.
Thanks in advance.
