Which is why the CPL has potential locally. If it can even come close to the local loyalty that is found in Scandanavian countries, the CPL will be fine.


As for MLS in Canada:

The 3 MLS...

Until Rogers and Bell sell off MLSE, the CSA is doing nothing.

Current USSF believes that the growth of MLS and the growth of USSF are in tandem. As such, the current preference is for MLS to grow revenues - Canadian teams help that.

A couple of the current...

They talk more about being Canadian then about the quality of the play. I would be very suprised if the CPL does not go for a quote of at least 10 Canadians in the 18.

Well there is the OSC... ;)

One difference between NASL and CPL would be:

MLS needs the current CONCACAF head honcho in order to get that World Cup here in 2026. And a viable CPL is necessary for that bid (given FIFA wants...

Actually, Gretzky, Bobby Hull, Gordie Howe and his sons - Messier was cut by Indy before the merger.

Yeah....I grew up watching the OHL with all that and....still not going to happen.

CPL is going to come to Toronto. TFC would like it to be their team. CPL types don't want that. So said CPL Toronto team won't be at any venue MLSE controls (Downsview, the OSC, BMO or Lamport).
...

Yeah.....uh....no.

People in this country already won't watch MLS because they don't think it is good enough soccer for them. You seriously think teams running on maybe 1/3 of the salary cap of...

MLSE is going to MLSE

And CPL "we are big news" types will CPL

The CPL will have a place in Toronto somewhere outside of the downtown (unless they play at Varsity somehow). MLSE won't like it....

Two NASL teams going into USL - one confirmed as the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Sorry but I don't think the pics are necessary, especially when combined with pejorative descriptors.

I happened to have watched one of Justin Fashanu's first games for Norwich and one of his...

Yes because the money the Hunts are flowing through the Fury are just there to prop up the CFL team. :p

I'm not going to respond to the rest of your stuff only to say disdain via huge pics is...

I'm pretty darn sure both Edmonton and Ottawa want out of NASL.

The CSA at the national level of getting a CPL going prior to Victor M is not the same as the CSA now.

Wait a second...where did the current MLSE head honcho work again? Wasn't it for that airline with the name on a certain arena in town?

Yeah, if I was Victor M I'd be maximising all the synergies...

Yeah I don't think people realise what it means to have a Canadian on the FIFA exec, with a mandate to start a national league in order to go after a World Cup.

If I'm running TSN or Sportsnet...

They couldn't do it without losing significant investment in the Canadian game and a lot of pull within CONCACAF. That and the investments by the 3 Canadian ownership groups and the owners of the...
