 About the USA > Sports > Soccer
Originally called association football (the name soccer is a corruption of “assoc” which is derived in turn from association), soccer is distinguished from American or Canadian football and from rugby in that it is primarily played with the feet.
Soccer was slow to attract fans in the United States, where such sports as baseball, basketball, and American football were more popular.
The first attempt to establish a professional soccer league dates back to 1884 when the "American League of Professional Football" was founded but it closed during the same year.

 Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL)
From the beginning, the MISL encouraged its teams to feature American lineups by mandating that a certain number of players had to be from North America, though it was a rule often skirted with Canadians, green cards and naturalization.
The league also drew attention for its innovative promotional efforts, which were soon copied by their basketball and hockey competition.
Among the leagues that came and went: the Continental Indoor Soccer League (CISL), the Eastern Indoor Soccer League (EISL), the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL), and the World Indoor Soccer League (WISL).

 Major League Soccer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However this is a considerable expense to the league, and to provide better facilities as well as to control revenue for the stadium, a major goal of MLS management is to build its own stadiums, which are often called "soccer-specific stadiums".
The only difficulty for the league is getting the stadiums constructed, as many international clubs like Chelsea and others have expressed interest in or already have formed partnerships with MLS clubs and owners in the league, meaning ownership issues are no longer as acute as they once were.
The league, while not abandoning the single-entity nature that has preserved it (and Garber has said that he does not believe MLS will do so in the foreseeable future, in order to avoid repeating mistakes of the NASL), is increasingly dismantling central controls in favor of owner diversification and a more open competition.

 MISL - Major Indoor Soccer League
Ironically, the league began to draw more attention for its theatrics--introductions of players through clouds of dry ice, eight-foot tall mascots, and music accompanying the action on the field, to name a few--than for the quality of the play on the field, which was vastly improved.
While the MISL took much heat over the off-field theatrics, these tactics would later be adopted by teams in "major" sports like hockey and basketball, and with great success.
Having regretted its decision to sit back and watch the MISL during its first season, the North American Soccer League announced that a full indoor league would be played by its clubs in the winter of 1979-80.

The 29-year-old goalkeeper, who was still under contract with Montreal until 2008, was transferred to Major League Soccer (MLS), Tuesday.
With MLS looking more and more Euro with each passing day, perhaps the league can take a lesson from English club Torquay United, who have announced they'll start taking disciplinary action against any of their players who dive or feign injury.
Those who were worried about MLS going with garish or inappropriate sponsor logos have at least one club they won't have to worry about, as XanGo with the badge actually looks a little better than the "ReAl Salt Lake" that the team had been carrying on its jerseys in its first two seasons.
