SSB's Take: The New Expantion Towns in MLS, and more




Well here is SSB's take on this whole expantion thing, WE LOVE IT!!!! Not only will it be great for these two towns to come in to MLS but it will be a instant 4 way rivalry just like in the east coast in 2010. Look at this in the North East, RedbullNY, DC United, AC Philadelphia and NE Revolution are al hated rivals, they all hate each other and cant stand each others guts. Now, lets put that in the North West, Vancouver BC Whitecaps, Portland Timbers, Seattle Sounders , and SJ EarthQuakes. It looks like a instant HIT, no? But look at this the MLS likes the north, no? It defintly looks top heave on the northsides on both coasts, but in all good for the MLS, beacuse it makes instant rivals. There is no better rivals then the one in the North east, combine that with the North west, now we have some great atmospheres in MLS, wow 2011 will be a great hit with out a doubt!

Now lets look at the Vancouver BC Whitecaps, they have strong ownership, and great new stadium plan that will make BC look state of the art. and they even get a decent amount for games. But i know that they will have to work on thier supporters club, because they are not so great. Whitecaps are now the defending USL Champions, its a great gift to get a MLS team after winning the USL Championship, now lets see if they transform that in the MLS.

Now we are off to the Portland Timbers, there is nothing bad about the ownership supporters and SOCCER CITY USA, but then again thier team finished last in the USL. But lets look at this They have a owner with deap pockets. a beautiful stadium in place and they will be making it to lool more soccer savy, and it will possibly be the most urban looking soccer stadium in the world, which everyone loves. Now lets get to the timbers army, well lets just say the best supporters group in the united states of america. They support thier team well, very well. they are loud,and proud and no one can beat that. In MLS the Portland Timbers Stadium, PGE PARK will be the hardest stadium to play in MLS. This Epantion Bid was a no brainer, now it will get a MLS team which by far everyone in MLS loves!!!!

For the next round of expantion, I think everyone would love to see Montreal and ST. Louis, with them comming in it would be a great. St. Louis would make an Instant rivals with Kansas City and Chicago. Montreal would make a rilval with Toronto and New England. How great would that be. More rivals in MLS. It would only make the league so much better! When would you like to see the net epantion round? 2013? Let us know what you guys think about all this expantion stuff? like the 2 new expantion team?
