Welcome to my MLS thread. Thought I'd give the US/Canada's top tier of the sport it's own thread as the alll encompassing football thread seems quite large and MLS news gets buried a bit in the news with European leagues domianting over there.
The point of this thread is to inform and discuss matters related to MLS. I am happy to answer questions for those unfamiliar and valid criticism is welcome.
NOTE: If all you want to say is "MLS sucks" of something equally pointless, please do not post, I will report this nonsense.
---------------------
All right! Moving on, what is MLS?
MLS is the top tier of association football, or soccer, in the United States and Canada. It was established in 1996 as part of the agreement for the US to get the 1994 World Cup.
When does the season start? End?
This Friday! The 6th of March sees Chicago travel to Los Angeles, with other clubs playing Saturday and Sunday. The season runs until the end of October, playoffs come after for those that qualify.
My goal is to regularly post results and fixtures along with standings.
Below is an amazing guide to 2015 season by the league, every club is outlined as well as main story lines.
