View from the End Line: MLS and the Current Financial Structure
Photo by Richard Heathcote/Getty ImagesAs much of the world’s football season starts to wind down, and MLS is in the midst of the second third of its season, I found myself watching and wondering how this all happens. England crowned its champion on Championship Sunday a week ago, Germany crowned its own yesterday. Italy and Spain are about to conclude their seasons, but the trophies’ destination is well known already for both leagues.
Remembering that these leagues end after the final whistle of the final match, and the trophy is presented to crown the season champ, I cannot help but wonder how moving towards a more international system would help or hinder MLS in the United States.
