MLS vs. USL: The Showdown
Is MLS facing its biggest challenge yet? The USL's new tier system and promotion/relegation model are putting pressure on MLS to prove its worth in its 30th anniversary season. With Messi in the league and the Club World Cup on the horizon, MLS must showcase its best product to avoid being seen as the "fool of the footballing world."
Hosts Hector Flores and Kelcey Coyne dive into the complexities of American soccer, discussing the pay-to-play system, grassroots development, and the cultural perception of the sport. They explore how the USL's move could reshape the landscape of US soccer and force MLS to adapt or risk losing ground.
