Well, it's certainly a start, but that just reinforces the idea that pro soccer in Milwaukee is a long way away.Tangent, promotion/relegation is as far away from North America as an MLS franchise is from Milwaukee, but that sure would be a lot of fun. Related to that... several of the NASL/USLPro teams get amazing fan support. Of course, many more NASL/USLPro teams have crazy ownership and are unstable.
Well, this would sure be interesting...http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/soccer-insider/wp/2014/07/27/is-mens-college-soccer-about-to-undergo-big-changes-many-hope-so/
I was listening to a podcast last night that had one of the soccer coaches on as a guest. He raised a good point that the college season is basically the same it's been for 55 years. Plus, there's not enough rest allowed for the players, where they will typically play 2-3 games a weekend.Some concerns exist about costs. There are some questions about the broader implications of making this change on other sports. There are also some questions about the implications on the MLS draft.Generally, the college coaches are in favor of making this move.

What makes you say this is a waste?I'm on the fence, personally. I mean... the current Fire roster isn't cutting it. Granted, I'm onboard with the youth movement and all, but the Fire are not good.As for being surprised with MLS, who knows how their weird rules work?
Just seems that if I was Jones, I'd want to play for a team that is even semi-competitive.Yea, MLS pretty much does what they want with stars coming into the league. which, again, is why I am surprised they are going to let someone like Jones go to a place like Chicago.
Happy first day of the premier League everyone. Let's go Blues!
Ditto...except let's go Gunners!
I don't know if any of you cats caught the Everton - Chelsea game, but it was one for the ages. 3-6 final to Chelsea at Goodison Park; Costa looking like he'll fit in real well with the Blues even if he is a bit of a jackass.
Yeah I watched a good portion of it. Chelsea is a serious contender for the Champions League.
