well the MLS system makes much right, but on the other hand it has some big problems. in germany(europes most interresting big league, because tickets are cheap and you cant own more than 49% of a club) most of the clubs are real clubs, im own my club as much as every other club member, and i have as much voting rights as every other member. and if we play ba, we could get demoted. so games not just count if you are on top, they count a lot more if you are realy deep down. and we still have smart player management. number 3 in the bundesliga is a realy small club with realy good management. and number 6 is even smaller... on the other hand, we can be pretty sure that one big name will be demoted. and than there is the DFB cup, where my lovely arminia is beating the shit out of much bigger clubs that are 2 divisions above... |
I will say if there is any model in Europe I would follow, it would be Bundesliga. It at least keeps supporters in mind, even though seeing Bayern dominate it over time. I like each year someone surprising or challenging, but I wish the Meister at the end had more variety.
The focus in many leagues in Europe is top and bottom, as I said this pushes for excellence in club. Meanwhile we push for middle and top which encoruages competition.
We do have the US Open Cup (our DFB Cup) and while lower division side hasn't won it since 1999, my DC United finishing dead last in the league actually did win it in 2013 so we do have dimension of three pieces of dometic silver war to battle for.
