We have now reached the point where we can firmly say that Major League Soccer has reached the point where it can consider itself an established sports league in North America. With 22 teams already in the league, and more bound to be included in upcoming expansion drafts, we can expect some sort of division arrangement within the next few years. Just to get a head start, I've thrown together some potential division or league ideas just to see how the MLS can potentially format the teams in the near future
Proposal #1: 4 divisions of 3(2 teams in one division) teams within their conference, which can be replicated like the MLB and NFL format their leagues, with a “National vs American” type format to be introduced, sequenced with geographical areas Central, South, East and West divisions to go along with it
Format:
National Soccer League
NSL East: New England Revolution
Montreal Impact
Toronto F.
