Both points are quite correct. The problem is that it is hard to convince most American sports fans that there can be multiple tourneys going on at the same time and they need to divide their attention.

It will be interesting to see how the new franchises approach these games. That might be the cause of a change over time.

well said. i think the owners need to realize it’s not the 90s anymore and soccer isn’t some new, kitchy sport. it’s a league that matters and will only grow. i mean, it’s year 16 now. still very young.

now, about the u.s. open cup…can we get that tournament some love? what about an open cup game of the week on fsc? winner gets a ccl spot. and it’s the longest running tournament in any sport in the u.s. it’s got selling points. and it’s great like the fa cup.
