The USL Could TAKE OVER the MLS 🤯🇺🇸 

Sorry to tell you buddy but MLS have more finance so if team can get players like Messi , or a Neymar or big names like this it will always draw bigger crowds so more eyes on the product

7k, wow, a few more and you can have a kids birthday party.

@@ccramityou can make your snarky social media slavery comments all you want but the original commenter is 100% correct. MLS is corporate af and in a horrific identity crisis while USL is for the fans🙌🏻

yeah i aggre i see my club loisville city pull 10,00 people per game

Sam with sac 😭 we draw 10000+ per game and still nothing😭 corrupt greedy mls side wants money 😭

Americans don’t want to be European that’s why we don’t have Pro/Rel in any of our leagues and they do good, if not better than some Euro leagues. USL will not be anything I can promise you that.

@@brazyiee9145 weird take, but ok.

Strongkickman I agree with you. The USL will succeed because the MSL is just a retirement league for sunsetting European footballers. Americans want our men's soccer to be exciting with American stars like the ladies soccer. The females are household names. And what better way to make American male soccer a household item than to create narratives around hometown players on the rise in America. The only American male player that I know of is Christian Pulisic. And where is he? Male athletes who could dominate American soccer are allergic to that loser male sports that won't pay to keep talented players on American soil. Can you imagine the greatest baseball, football or basketball player being poached by Europe, Asia or South America? Poached in their prime? Because the American pro leagues are delusional and believe they can do without them? MLS is a joke to most Americans. I say more power to the USL and it's Pro/Rel aspirations. I hope the have the pocketbooks to cover the popularity and arms race that will follow. It would be a shame if they succeeded only for the MLS to play copycat and outspend them out of spite. No, actually that would be a good thing for America.

@@StrongKickMan pro/rel would not work at all here. this will take a ton of time

Americans love European soccer so they already know pro and rel

Not Baltimore

Or Pittsburgh

Came here to say this exact thing.

@@OmegaBlueMusic MLS is looking to give Baltimore an NP club that would be DC's minor league team.

Usl got oakland, vegas, Pittsburgh, San Diego, tampa, Birmingham, miami, phoenix.

Owners of MLS franchises (especially the expansion ones) would need some way to assure that their investment wouldn’t go down the drain year 1.

@@jmiyagi12345 I agree which is why it’s also a long shot unless there was enough public pressure. Even then those guys can be hardheaded. Hopeful but doubtful tbh

no, teams like Austin Fc, Seattle Sounders, STLFC, Nashville SC, LAFC, Galaxy, etc have incredible crowds

@@elijahnelson2011 how do you fail to mention Portland lol

@@DevidCareor Minnesota

Merica! F yea

No structured league, USL is older and operates differently than MLS

Yes mls is light year ahead

Technically yes but in reality the US federation is corrupt and completely slanted in favor of MLS even tho MLS is garbage

In a farmers league what a joke😂😂 and you think that’s impressive

Farmers league 😂

​@@dangalladon8417Bro do you even know what a farmers league is? It is the meaning that only a specific amount of teams absolutely sweeps the rest of the teams. Which is far from USL or MLS. Stop hating on stuff randomly and get a life.

I never knew that

Yeah, that is the big "problem" with MLS and why I think it'll be hard for them to truly implement pro/rel. I think it will take a lot for USL to overtake MLS. I legit watch zero USL matches. Do they even have any international competitions? There's a lot of other things to fix in US Soccer besides pro/rel (and I'm not against it).

Cope

Holy moly I watch USL more than MLS (because my local team is in USL) and that already makes me excited for the future of the USL.

Not even close. I gave up my Las Vegas Lights season tickets after 3 years because the level of play was so bad. But I will occasionally drive up to Sandy Utah to watch RSL because MLS at least offers a minimal standard of play.

Your statement makes no sense. The current attendance figures have nothing to do with pro/rel.

@@FAITHandLOGIC pro and rel will never work in USA... avg value mls 600 mil. avg value usl 6 million. Never work in a million years in USA

Thank you for some common sense. Idk why the comments here are so deluded.

​@@FAITHandLOGIChis comment makes sense because rhe video and comments here make it seem like pro/rel is what will make USL at all relevant when the truth is that it can't compete with MLS in the slightest.

you realize you're making a weird argument between small market and big Market right? big markets have an enormous population duh....yet MLS franchises who play in NFL stadiums can't even fill up the bottom Bowl.😅

How???

@@eddiep9207 IT'S CALLED MONEY. USL HAS NONE, ALL MONEY IN MLS

@@NiceHandTick mls has none too 😂

@@eddiep9207 mls has way more just in infastructure

USL League 1 is already a 3rd tier, and USL League 2 is already a national amateur 4th tier. The problem is that national 4th tiers l, and most regional "5th" tiers are for college and high school kids and some really good mid to late 20 somethings that want to keep up their skill (potentially national team call ups for small Caribbean nations)

That's why there is a USL League 2 if there ever was pro/rel.

Says the PCL fangirl aka the pendu camel league enjoyers 😂😂😂🫵🤡

Sounds cool but that's basically a simplified U.S. Open Cup.

Lol

No, they would get smashed by a Costa Rican team or a Mexican team

@@Only_Jvix we can’t underestimate them. They actually have good teams

Well not anymore. They all went over to MLS Next Pro.

no, mls created mls next pro for all of those teams to play separately against each other

how do you merge two leagues where the upper league's teams are avg worth of 500 million and the lower leagues teams are worth 4 million?? Why would the upper league want to merge ?

Nope Pro Rel just leads to 4 teams getting all the money and never being relegated while the rest of the soccer pyramid dies on the vine.

go look at the expansion candidates

MLS will be fine like before, there will just be a dip in Inter Miami fans.

Carlos Tevez? He retired and never stepped foot in MLS?

Messi is aging and he has said that he has plans to eventually return to his first club in Argentina to retire, how will MLS retain their new fans then?

Not in the traditional since, it probably won’t ever overtake MLS but if it does it’d become the major league, as a USL fan I don’t want this to happen, watching minor league soccer kinda feels like watching college football

@@viewingstorm8930 I think US Soccer considers USL a tier 2 league. So I don't see how it could happen. I guess if somehow the fans bases grew bigger than MLS it could happen though. But since the markets are smaller I don't see it.

Well good news, USL has a playoff to end the season, and they might implement pro/reg

Where do you think some of the MLS clubs started?

😶😳🙄😅😂

😭😭😭😭

Based

It should cuz the US is a massive country. There could be a football league for every state of the US similar to the 7th division of England.

@NanobanaKinako Not just every state. Many more cities. A rising pro soccer team could put many suburbs and smaller town on the map. And the fan bases and their pocketbooks would be welcome when the teams are promoted and must play in the bigger city soccer stadiums.

@@NanobanaKinako no???

@@RealBlockbityes. People only become fans of major teams because there is no other choice. I’d much rather support the team I can drive 15 minutes to watch every Sunday than 2/3 hours once every couple of months, even if it’s low level, because of the hope of promotion.

they just wouldn't ever generate enough money to compete, you really wouldn't have much of a difference than you do now. I don't think Europeans understand how big the drop off is in population size between cities in the US with major cities, let alone major cities in state when compared to their smaller counterparts and how drastically that affects the economy. No to mention how far apart these populace centers are to one another relative to European ones even in their own states. It isn't like we don't have minor professional leagues for NA sports we do there just is no pro/rel due to the logistics and finances and their relative niche appeal. It just doesn't make sense. The Hershey Bears are a great example of this. Super famous AHL team from PA but their market would NEVER be big enough to be a viable NHL market. This is no different for smaller USL teams. Smaller markets area also historically dominated by college sports in the US, so there isn't really much demand for a professional level replacement. A great example is how Louisville is a MASSIVE basketball market in the US and Kentucky is a basketball POWERHOUSE on the collegiate level, but due to just HOW popular college basketball is in the state the NBA has never placed a team there in fears of not being able to compete in the market. So on the whole there is just MANY factors as to why a european style system just doesn't culturally jive with the US, at least for the time being. I do think that could change, especially if the USL continues to grow financially and if soccer were to become more dominant culturally etc., but really that is more of a time thing and I don't think you are going to see changes any time soon. Part of why MLS is structured the way it is is the stability it provides in a NA economic ecosystem, it is why most major sports leagues in the US are designed that way. @@NanobanaKinako
