You literally have no idea what you are talking about.

Then please show me some numbers on tickets sales that prove me wrong. I'm willing to admit I'm wrong, but following a team on twitter is free. Buying season tickets is not. There have been quite a few Mexican nation team members in MLS. Surely there are some numbers that show they bring bigger crowds.

How would you even obtain such information??
Fact is Mexicans and Central Americans are more fanatical about their players than Americans and on a larger scale. I can tell you that from personnel experiences.
But actually look at the LA Galaxy high lights vs Houston in Houston and look at the randoms cheering for LA bc a certain Mexican national team member is on the galaxy and he scored.

Attendance figures prior, during, and after a Mexican's tenure in MLS. Surely someone has done a study on it.

How many Mexican superstars have played in the MLS while in their prime???

Have only been watching for the last 4 years or so.

The information you are looking for is not always disclosed. However, there is almost no doubt that signing Chicarito would be almost the best thing possible for an MLS team.
Think about the following the Mexican national team has in the US. Their fans are more than willing to spend to watch them play.

I might start watching the MLS games more often.
Id watch Toronto more because of giovinco. Dude is entertaining for a little guy.

Here is a perfect example going back to early MLS years.
The DC area has a huge El Salvadorian population. So what does the league and DC United do to tap into that market. They sign Raul Diaz Arce and the fan base gets a huge bump. Years later those same fans still support the club and some were part of the people who established La Barra Brava supporters club. This was all before social media and the type of marketing that we have today.

Legend?
He's great but not a legend except to himself.

Whoever you're reading has definitely never been to a soccer match in Atlanta when anyone remotely connected to the Mexican national team has played.

ye just so you guys know, Alciato is far and away Sky Italia's least reliable reporter. I'll wait for Di Marzio to report it before I begin to believe that he's going to LA.

Look, I love Columbus. But Zlatan ain't going to fricking Columbus Ohio. Or Kansas City. Or any other number of places.
If he comes to mls, he is going to LA or New York because it is largely about where he wants to live. Zlatan is a cosmopolitan guy that loves the spotlight.
A lot of guys, European and South Ametican, are going to flock to Beckham's club in Miami in a couple years.

ESPNFC is reporting they're in talks, so it's legit

I was there and can assure you 80% of the randoms there for LA were there because of Gerrard

Absolutely. These guys are one step from retiring. They're going to want to live in one of the glamor markets.

If we're gunning for journalistic integrity, let me break my red pen out.
