does the USMNT have to dominate to world. is it the shite TV ratings that prevents them.
I want something more 30 mins of ESPN FC and more than a game a week.

A dedicated timeslot isn't love?

Not really. I'm just wondering how long until MLS is a pretty decent part of ESPN. Like how football is talked about during the offseason and when trades happen.

Is there an MLS network? I feel they would have enough pull for it. Dish and Direct would make it part of their packages.

They will when they start spending a billion dollars a year to show the MLS product like it does with the NFL.
This is exactly why the MLS need major TV contracts from abroad if it wants to become a top tier league.

They've been working on it. It's very widely televised abroad now.

Give it time.
The league has only been playing games since 1996. If it was a person it wouldn't be old enough to legally buy beer.

Please tell us how MLS can pull big money deals from abroad out of their arse. And don't say "raise/get rid of the salary cap" because that's what destroyed soccer in this country with the first version of the cosmos.

It's going to take a while for it to compete getting big money deals home and abroad.

Yep. All about the money.

Better ratings would help. I thought I read the dedicated time slot was helping to improve the ratings.
