According to @espnsutcliffe, Liga MX/MLS are considering merging to create a super league of 50 teams. bit.ly/2wWEc2k
Mexico is a gigantic soccer obsessed country yet they haven’t been able to tap into their full potential. They just don’t have the required organization or infrastructure.
MLS is beginning to realize that their primary route to the $$$ is Mexicans/Latinos in the USA.
Liga MX would get the infrastructure/appeal/organization/marketing they’ve needed for years.
MLS would get Mexican eyeballs, which dominate in American soccer ratings.
I don’t like the idea but it’s easy to see why we always hear about it.
Promotion and relegation would never happen. They’d probably break into 4 large divisions and go from there.
Would be like the Power 5 conferences in college football in a way 🤷♂️ https://t.co/yREF8i6RHa
A lot of mixed reaction so far.
