in Why MLS is Deserving of Ridicule on Major League Soccer Talk
It is insanse for MLS to not only schedule games the same day as the MNT, but at the same damn time!

Club and country? MLS dare not bring those ads out again.

in Does Superliga Have a Future? on Major League Soccer Talk
Personally, I've really enjoyed the SL. You can have both the CCL and SL. Has there ever been this much interest in July MLS matches before?

in MLS Operating in a Vacuum on Major League Soccer Talk
Your column struck a cord with me. Now, I understand the MLS feels it needs to schedule matches the same weekend as when the MNT plays - you hit on those reasons above. I really wish MLS would not play on the same weekend as the MNT - and certainly not the same day. But I think I understand some of the economics why MLS does play the same weekend and even the same day.

However, MLS would be really wise to at least not play games within a four hour window of the MNT game. So if the MNT plays between, say, 4:30 and 6:30, MLS would not schedule any games that start or end between 3;30 and 7:30.

Not ideal, but better than overlapping games.

I don't understand why MLS won't do this. After all, what better what to market key MLS stars like Donovan?
