    Default MLS in 25 Years time? What will it look like?

    Eastern Division Central Division Southern Division
    Toronto FC.......Chicago Fire...............Atlanta
    Montreal Impact...Columbus Crew .......Tampa ??
    New England REV_...DCUnited.............. Miami ??
    Detroit ?? .............NY Red Bulls ..........FC Dallas
    Ottawa ?? ............NY Cosmos ?........ Houston Dynamo
    Rochester??........ Philadelphia Union...... St Louis ??
    Western Division
    LA Galaxy
    Chivas USA
    Portland Timbers
    San Jose earthquakes
    Vancouver Whitecaps
    Edmonton ??
    Colorado Rapids

    this would grow the league to 25 teams in 25 years time, not a rush to expand to quickly just the right amount over time..

    never impossible to look ahead...maybe if the NHL had done that they may have avioded a few problem spots!! MLS needs to avoid what the nhl did, if they can do that they will bbe the fourth sports league in the uSA behind the nfl, basball and basketball.

    It'll be 20 teams - 8 North American plus 5 from Japan, 4 from China, 2 from Australia and one from southeast Asia. All the teams will play in SSSs that seat 60,000+. The league will be competitive with the best European and South American leagues.

    Also, we will finally be using jetpacks to get around, like we were supposed to be by now, when I was a kid.

    You're welcome. Anytime.

    what about global warming and demographics? The eastern seaboard is flooded, Atlanta runs out of water. Phoenix will have the population, but it will it have the water?

    You know what I would really like 25 years from now?

    A very strong Canadian league on it's own, with 18 teams, and a second Canadian division with 20 teams.
    And relegation system - every season the bottom 2 drop from first league, and the top 2 come up from second.
    And TFC being the team who won the most titles in division 1.

    Of course this dream has a slimmer chance to become reality than having by then on the Moon a colony of 80,000 people....

    in 25 years the league could fold

    In 25 years maybe North and South America will join a super league like Europe countries might join.

    In 25 years maybe we will go back to the old MLS rules ( penalty shootouts after a tie game, stop the clock on whistles, commercial breaks)

    in 25 years California maybe under water so Galaxy, chivas and San Jose no longer exsist

    in 25 years New England might actually get to play in a soccer stadium

    in 25 years the new war for america wont be over oil but maybe water

    In 25 years the world could be over.

    WHo the fuck knows 25 years from now!

    This is a joke, right?
    Why would any premier Mexican club want to play in MLS, when the Mexican championship is much stronger and of course is attracting huge crowds?

    If Mo's still GM, we'll be coming to the end of our fifth unsuccessful five-year plan.

    Considering I will no doubt be a dirty old man in 25 years,
    I would like MLS to look like this in a quarter century...

    i for one have swallowed the five year plan hook line and sinker (seriously, look at this team in our first year), but hell.. if that didn't make me laugh. also, can we now please, for future reference have teams that have no name reffered to as the "whatevers"?

    MLS will be played by us. We will control the players through FIFA online play

    and the players will have the jetpacks

    Columbus will still be a s**thole, just without a MLS team (or an NHL team).

    The Red Bulls will still be the same as the always have been, only in a SSS.
    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
