BrySmalls Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 MLS Season way too long.It lasts basically the same amount of time as European leagues.EPLMid-August through Mid-MayMLSEarly March through early DecemberMLS needs to develop a better schedule of incorporating 34 matches per club into a seven month season. Take D.C. United's 2012 monthly schedule for example:March - 4 matchesApril - 5 matchesMay - 6 matchesJune - 3 matchesJuly - 2 matchesAugust - 6 matchesSeptember - 5 matchesOctober - 3 matchesThere's no reason, other than money, to start a regular season on March 10 and have it stretched until October 27. I would like to see the following changes for 2013**:March - 3 matches (beginning March 16)April - 5 matchesMay - 6 matchesJune - 6 matchesJuly - 5 matchesAugust - 5 matchesSeptember - 4 matches (ending by September 22).I could provide actual dates and whatnot; however, I envision that the regular season would end in mid to late September with the playoffs beginning the following weekend and concluding a month later.*Note: This schedule is in the event that a club doesn't qualify for either the CCL or USOC.Problem is you fail to take in international dates which MLS is endeavoring to take off.I didn't fail at neglecting the international dates. MLS said they weren't playing on international dates this year, however, that didn't stop the League from scheduling matches two or three days ahead of these specific match dates.

raysox Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Nah, like the 80s movie. But it would actually be 11. The 8 teams now, plus the Cosmos and Ottawa. I'm not sure if I like a team in the DC Metro area. If it was Norfolk it would make sense(since Richmod is in the USL Pro). But I'm sure they aren't done expanding in the near future. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I certainly don't hate MLS. In fact, I'm looking forward to them having a New York team so I can follow the league more closely.

I'll be happy when we get a concrete announcement, though.Ah yes, I've heard that too. I think with 12 teams they should cap it and let the league grow internally as opposed to spreading out. Even though a team somewhere relatively western would help Edmonton out. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I don't get. I know you're being somewhat facetious, yet many have that attitude and are dead serious about it. Yet the same people will get defensive when you tell them the only football team that actually represents New York plays in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Im not actually being facetious. I'm actually serious, even with the emoticon.It has nothing to do with the Corporate Naming Rights FC (no matter what they called themselves) playing in New Jersey and not in a New York ZIP code - I don't know any New Yorker who actually feels that way about any sports teams. New Jersey is suburban New York, part of our market, and so long as they want to represent us they're all ours. Buffalo? Might as well be Pittsburgh or Cleveland for all the relationship it has with the city.My refusal to follow the Red Bulls/MetroStars was entirely due to their contempt for the city, which came through loud and clear from Day One. They didn't advertise in the city, they didn't market in the city, they didn't do outreach to fan groups in the city, amateur adult soccer leagues in the city or kids' leagues in the city. Strange as it may seem, but in a few short months the Cosmos had already done more to foster and encourage soccer culture in New York City than Franchise FC ever did. Boggles the mind. And New Yorkers took notice.There has always been an MLS club within a few miles of NYC. But for all that club cared, they might as well have been in Buffalo. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!
