This Is American Soccer, US Soccer, MNT, WNT, and MLS - Tackling the subject of Soccer in the US, and worldwide.

I got nothing. But a whole lot is in the oven I promise. As a small taste, I was recently turned on to Twitter, a great place to share/dump/file all those thoughts running through your head. Maybe its a waste of time, or maybe somebody is giving me free space to keep notes for further gestation. Like most things, it is what you make of it. Me, I’ve got a lot of questions…

Do we need a week between MLS playoffs games? Can MLS only find an audience on Saturdays? Does defensive soccer have to be ugly soccer? Do we need to change the MLS playoff structure? Garber just alluded to “no” on 2nd DP slot for 2008, but everybody seems to thinks it’s happening. Will Galaxy’s offseason look like the Yankees? More than 30K tickets have been sold for MLS Cup final. Clearly there is an audience for a soccer game that matters, right? Does it matter to American soccer if U.S. hosts World Cup? Would you rather go to Australia in 2018 or Orlando for a game? Would you rather have Blanco or Beckham? What do I have to do to get GolTV in New York? It’s like getting books at Shawshank.
