That's the well-established NFL. Soccer would be hurt big-time. Hockey had a strike and was hurt a lot. Soccer is on much shakier footing than hockey ever was. No way they recover.



I disagree. It certainly wouldnt be helpful but everyone who thinks they would never ever recover are off base imo.

I think the MLS is on much stronger footing than NHL ever was.

The owners just like the low cost of running the teams now and they want to keep it that way. But the league has what, 20 years under its belt now? Safe to say it can loosen up a bit more. It's been 8 or so years since the designated player rule

I don't think a work stoppage will be that big of a deal and I don't think that will happen

Lets not forget, these players can't just strike and then go sign with a third division English team.

In order to play in England they will need work permits, which aren't exactly easy to get your hands on. Hell, who was the player who signed with Stoke but couldn't get a work permit?

I'm not sure how the Eurozone operates, but I doubt its totally open for non EU passport holders.
