I'm a bit disappointed that the USL playoffs are starting tonight yet silence. Some of us actually read this site because they have more than the cookie cutter "mls is great, blah, blah, blah," stuff. I wonder if Kartik stopped covering USL to appease all you people. If so, shame on him. As for the USMNT, that is the centerpiece of soccer in this country, like it or not. This week, this site has had 3 or 4 articles on MLS. Innovative things like scheduling, stadium designs, revamping the open cup, not the cookie cutter, "columbus looks good, could be dangerous in the playoffs." As for CONCACAF, MLS sides still cannot so much as draw with Mexican ones even at home, so why bother? When was the last

I think that Seattle refreshed the Open Cup and made some MLSer a bit jealous of their success. These people might be paying a bit more attention next year. One issue that's the most critical for the Open Cup is timing. It's the biggest problem with the cup and the 2010 world cup will only complicate things. I would call for the Open Cup to be contested earlier in the year. MLS teams will have a more of a reason to compete if they can use it as a warm-up to the season. Two games a week can be grueling during the 'dog days' of summer, but in the spring this could be very valuable for teams looking for chemistry.

My opinion: I don't think that attendance is really the goal of the US Cup. Make sure everyone is included and hopefully we will have some fun upsets, Cinderellas and a good tourney ( with the Sounders winning it all again ) >>>This is so poorly written I can’t even read it!

Did you forget something? One of the 16 MLS teams is in Canada, therefore can't be in the Open Cup. Otherwise, I agree with your post. Uh, Michael? Did you forget something?

When was the last article on this site about MLS? We're going into the MLS playoffs, 3 MLS teams are playing in CONCACAF Champions League, and this site is dedicated to USL coaches and the USMNT.
