Obviously the MLS isn't what the Premier League is to England or what La Liga is to Spain, so I think it's safe to say that the MLS has failed by virtue of the fact that it hasn't brought widespread interest of soccer to the general American populace.

Did you really think that soccer would be a mainstay sport in America in less than 20 years? You do realize all the sports MLS has to compete with for attention, especially the NFL. The fact is that Major League Soccer's growth has been sustainable and under their terms. They know how to grow and cater their sport, unlike other failed soccer leagues, which were grown too quickly and without plausible expansion plans.

The real test of MLS's loyalty will be how the kids of the league's original fanbase carry the sport. When the league began, it was catered as a cool, hip sport to follow and prosper. It was catered to Gen X and their styles in the 1990s. Even some of the adaptations of Americanizing soccer were to lure these fans (backwards clock, NHL-style penalty shootouts), albeit those were phased out overtime to more traditional customs. Now these people have their own kids, Gen Z (roughly those who are high school seniors and younger), and it'll be interesting to see if their parents have nurtured their children enough about MLS to become fans.

This week the NFL owners dressed in cheap jerseys will decide on where the 50th anniversary of the Super Bowl will be celebrated. Which city will be the apple in the eyes of the NFL? let’s wait to see

For the 50th edition of the championship game of the league in 2016, they will have to choose between San Francisco Bay and southern Florida.

The 49ers new stadium is under construction and scheduled to open for the 2014 season. With the slope of the NFL to present its championship game in new facilities - Dallas and Indianapolis recently, New Jersey in February - Santa Clara seems in good position. The Bay area has hosted the Super Bowl on one occasion, in 1985 at Stanford Stadium.

"I think with a new stadium ... we can host a Super Bowl, found the receiver Jerry Rice dressed in All Star jersey. It'll be great. I realize there is a lot of history at Candlestick. To remain competitive in the NFL, this is something we need and I think it will be great. "

It is different for the Miami who cashed a setback to the state legislature earlier this month, which could seriously jeopardize its hopes of hosting the event in 2016. Or to the South Florida have the best match for the 2017 San Francisco if it was preferred for the 50th edition. The league will decide on Tuesday two sites.

The Dolphins could not get public money for upgrades to their stadium. The multimillionaire owner dressed in Miami Dolphins jersey, Stephen Ross, says that renovations of $ 350 million is absolutely necessary to the stadium, but it will not bear the cost himself. Nor does he want a renovation cost for this stage of 26 years.

Miami has experience in his favor, after hosting the Super Bowl 10 times, tied with the team dressed in New Orleans Saints jerseys. All league matches played in South Florida have been successful, even if the only played outdoors in the rain held there in 2007 when Peyton Manning and the Colts have won the title.

A three-fourths majority of the 32 owners is required in the first ballot. If no city succeed, then the simple majority wins the next round.

The loser in the elections of 2016 will face Houston for the 2017 edition of the Super Bowl. Houston hosted the game in 2004.

The MLS is not a failure.  It's made some head-scratching decisions both early on and of late, but it's now a mainstay, stable league and it's gained headway against the entrenched Big 4.

The AFL poster reminded me of the Iowa Barnstormers.  God, I love that name.
