The most important sport of the world in the most important city of the world !!!

I hope and think that the Cosmos ( or another NYC soccer team ) will play in MLS at Citi Field by 2013 and in a new soccer stadium in Queens by 2015.

Borough Boys NYC

The headline reads:

MLS Commissioner Don Garber: If we can build the stadium, we will have the 20th team in New York City

Good luck with that Napoli.

Boriska · October 18th, 2011, 06:49 PM

Maybe the MLS teams will play Champions League in the future.

Darloeye · October 18th, 2011, 08:31 PM

Can't see New York getting a team anytime soon. Its not the most important sports city in the world, Think thats London well next year anyway ! Think they are wanting to built a new stadium next door to Citi Field. Can't see them letting Major League Soccer teams play in the Champions League.

No, it's not. But the headline doesn't state that either, it's the most important city "of" the world. lol, "of" the world? It's the most important city "IN" the world...or "ON" the world if you want to be technical.

Because you spew the same nonsense on the BigSoccer forum. Did you seriously people wouldn't know who you are if you used a different screen name? Every post you make is the same, it includes something about a stadium in NYC with some unrealistic date. If I had a nickel for every one of your posts like this I'd probably be able to build my own stadium in NYC with that money.

I like your last idea. Perhaps it can be the ideal solution...........

I would like to see a MLS stadium built near Shea and the USTA near Flushing Meadows Park. It is the only logical place in the whole city, IMO. But just calling the team the Cosmos is not the final solution. The ownership must understand MLS inside and out. The ownership must understand that civic pride in portland and Seattle is unfortunately not enough in NYC. I wish it were.

Hudson11 · October 20th, 2011, 02:49 AM

with two baseball teams and two American Football teams (ok, the football stadium is in New Jersey) i don't see a new stadium for a less popular sport any time soon.

I'd gladly trade some of Portland's enthusiasm soccer for some enthusiasm for baseball and/or hockey--two sports that I love a lot more than soccer, but that Portlanders don't give two rips about.

There was that bizarre rumour in the Guardian a week ago that suggested UEFA are considering it. I personally don't believe it.

I'll take "Things That Will Never Happen" for $400, Alex.

In all seriousness, there is a realistic possibility of CONCACAF and CONMEBOL having a formally merged Champions League once MLS becomes more established. Might be harsh for clubs from the smaller nations, but as a tourney that would produce more big name clashes to draw international viewership. More games like Club America vs Santos, Boca vs. Chivas, etc. Especially as casual American footie fans become familiar with Latin American soccer brands.

MLS clubs have already tried their luck in CONMEBOL competition, I believe DC participated in Copa Sudamericana. The problem is travel, it's just way too far.

Or the fact that CONCACAF banned its teams from participating in Copa Sudamericana when they created the CONCACAF Champions League. Although that may change now that Chuck Blazer is gone. The CONMEBOL president said last year "the door is open" to MLS participation in Libertadores but there's a lot of politics and a ton of bad blood between CONCACAF and CONMEBOL.

Place is waaaaaay too big for that football team.

They can fill it up:

Like anything, it depends on the matchup and the kind of season they're having. Strong college football teams are fairly new to people in Buffalo.
