Woot! Big win for the Revs tonight, 3-0 over Dallas..

Interesting week.. next year, the league's going to look so different Chivas USA and Salt Lake City with new teams, San Jose possibly moving to Houston (and being owned by Club America), and the Dallas Burn becoming FC Dallas.

Can't wait to fly out to DC

If they would just let the Silverbacks move up...

[SirFozzie]

there will be two more expansion teams after next year... :D

Quakes game is about to start and a win would put them in 3rd in the West.

One is strongly suggested to be Dallas. Here's hoping for Atlanta to come in soon!

Edit: I meant Seattle, not Dallas!

Yea', Dallas desperately needs an MLS franchise.

;)

(I'm assuming you meant Houston... )

[SirFozzie]

well if Club America buys San Jose and puts em in Houston.. Rochester and ??

[Wolfpack]

I remember that the MLS spokesman at the announcement of the addition of Chivas USA mentioning that MLS now had its first true "derby". That got me to thinking...would MLS consider going with a more "European" feel? Should they drop the divisions and just do double round-robin for a table race and then set up the MLS Cup as a knockout tournament for all 12 teams (perhaps home-and-home to account for fewer teams)? Soccer isn't ever really going to appeal to a broad cross-section of Americans, and those that do follow it tend to be more into the European game anyway, so I don't see what could be lost by doing these changes.

Ooops... I actually meant Seattle. I have NO idea how Dallas got there!

Chivas USA is going to take most of the Galaxy's fans.

As for Club America, rumor is they'd rather start their own then buy an existing franchise.
