	Major League Soccer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Major League Soccer (MLS) is the top soccer league in the United States in the American Soccer Pyramid.
		MLS was formed on December 17, 1993, in fulfillment of U.S. Soccer's promise to FIFA to establish a "Division One" professional football (soccer) league in exchange for the staging of the FIFA World Cup USA 1994 in the United States.
		However this is a considerable expense to the league, and to provide better facilities as well as to control revenue for the stadia, a major goal of MLS management is to build its own stadia, which are often called "soccer-specific stadiums".

	Major League Soccer - Wikipedia
		Major League Soccer (MLS) is a first division professional soccer league in the United States.
		MLS is the highest level league sanctioned by the professional division of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF or U.S. Soccer), which is a member of FIFA.
		Unlike many other professional sports leagues in the United States, MLS is organized as a "single-entity" organization, in which the league contracts directly with the players, in an effort to control spending and maximize exposure.

	Major League Soccer 2004 :: Soccerphile
		US soccer might still not be getting the international attention a quarter-final finish at the last World Cup merits, but in America it seems increasingly here to stay.
		That the majority of good Americans are playing outside America won't be all bad news in the long run as a good national team is vital for the sport as a whole.
		Last season's runners-up Chicago Fire have a strong attack headed by US internationals Ante Razov and DaMarcus Beasley and are always strong contenders, as are the LA Galaxy ensconced in their intimate and sold-out stadium.

		In 1996, the persistently-asked question was finally answered with an exuberant “Yes!” Americans showed that they were ready for a big-time professional soccer league.

	Major League Soccer Preview 2005 :: Soccerphile
		However, US soccer fans have adamantly demanded the game that the rest of the world plays and at least MLS have responded by ditching 'Americanisms' such as a down-counting clock, pervasive announcers and the dreadful 35-yard line shootout to decide tied matches, which it inflicted on the public at the league's inception back in 1996.
		There are still the play-offs however to decide the league champions although the addition of two more sides this year gives them more credibility, with now four instead of only two teams facing elimination after the 32-game regular season finishes.
		By then the majority of teams will be playing in purpose-built 20,000-30,000 seat homes from which they will be earning income, instead of paying often exorbitant rents as tenants to NFL landlords.

	Sanneh leaves D.C. United for Germany; Mutiny gets Sequeira.
		Sanneh, 27, joined United in the middle of the Major League Soccer 1996 inaugural season as an unknown and quickly established himself as one of the league’s best players.
		At 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds, Sanneh made about $50,000 in 1998 and could have possibly doubled his salary for the upcoming season, but there was no way MLS, which holds all player contracts, could bid against a Hertha with the league salary cap set at $1.7 million per team.
		A star on the Costa Rican national youth and under-23 teams as well as Saprissa, Sequeira was recently called in for his first Costa Rican national team training camp and is expected to be a fixture with his country's national side.

	IGN: FIFA Soccer 2002 Review
		Someone at the company must have been paying attention, because FIFA Soccer 2002 is the biggest evolution that we've yet seen in the series and most of the changes seemed geared towards pleasing those begging for a more realistic soccer simulation.
		The one foreseeable problem with both the passing and shooting that the soccer simulation fans will not like is that the ball physics still seem a little too scripted and the ball still has the tendency to magnetize itself to the player's feet.
		The things they say are pretty in tune with what's going on in the current match and they'll actually comment about specific stuff in the game, such as whether or not the shot was the player's first or if he had missed a few earlier.
