I hope it works. It'd be nice to see the MLS get a foot hold in some larger markets.

Maple Leafs Sports (owners of the NHL Leafs and NBA Raptors) commit millions to build Toronto Soccer stadium with hopes of securing an MLS franchise.

I'm telling you, when I was in Canada in July...they were talking like it was a forgone conclusion that MLS is coming to Canada.

We need a team in Canada so we can sing (to the tune of "Camptown Races"), "Your dollar's worth 50 cents, doo dah, doo dah; your dollar's worth 50 cents".

I think in the current economy, it would be the Canucks singing that to us.

based on today's Garber conference, Toronto is pretty much a done deal for 2007

St. Louis? Interesting. Great soccer town, with arguably more history in the game than any other except maybe Boston.

Maybe we could move cheetos there and call them Chivas Guadalajara USA of St. Louis. Might help with attendance.
