Nice step in their Developmental Academy, shows stability of the organization. Most (might be close to all now) of the MLS clubs have either a USL team, NASL team or a PDL team for their older DA players.
MLS will requite all clubs to operate a USL team or be officially affiliated with one starting with the 2015 season.

I have no reason to be optimistic right now. And tell me if it's outside the realm of possibility that MLS wants Landon Donovan to go out with the Supporter's Shield in his final season.CurryStopstheRuns":tg806y2h said:SeatownJay":tg806y2h said:Huskies lose, Seahawks lose, will the Sounders make it a trifecta of failure tonight?
Hopefully not, but your negativity is blitzeresque.
Agreed, the entire pregame was about Donovan. Never liked him personally.knownone":twqtv933 said:It's kind of disappointing that one of the most overrated selfish players in American sports is being celebrated like this.
