what would they do with the lower mexican division that already exist?

on another note:

I would be far more interested in watching Chivas or Pumas play our domestic teams than suffer through another ESPN2 broadcast of DC United vs. New England Revolution in a 100,000 seat stadium.

That would lead to a meaningful regular season. This whole thing depends on the top Mexican clubs. They play in a ton of tournaments as it is and if they blow it off so will their fans.

Who in the hell wants to watch MLS teams play Mexican teams...has anyone actually ever watched a Mexican league match?? Holy shit, that's some painful stuff. Granted, they have a good national team but their league is no easier to watch than ours. So, now we're going to watch the best of two shite ass leagues??...fuck that. I'll stick to the EPL...thanks! What a bad fucking idea!

Where the hell’s the Chicago Fire?

Chicago’s got a huge Mexican population.

I can’t wait for the MFL’s excuses when they lose.

Is Lou a) the premier demagogue nonpareill? b)for real? More importantly Lou Dobbs, Mel Gibson, Don Garber and the MLS are simply bastardized entertainment (al biet "pour")...no more, no less. Genuine competition is real....nothing can excited us or disappoint us like competition. Baby Doc Garber, just appoint soccernista as Secretary of Competition and then let Coach Darwin take care of the details. Most likely the outcome would be pleasing...then, Don, on the seventh day, you could rest. The “Lou Demadobbs Cup”…..Brilliant! Is Lou a) the premier demagogue nonpareill? b)for real?
