	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, sanctioned by the professional division of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF or U.S. Soccer), a member of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).
		MLS was formed on December 17, 1993, in fulfillment of U.S. Soccer's promise to FIFA to establish a "Division One" professional football 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 stadium, a major goal of MLS management is to build its own stadiums, which are often called "soccer-specific stadiums".

		Major League Soccer (MLS) is the highest level soccer league in the United States sanctioned by the professional division of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF or U.S. Soccer), a member of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).
		The quality of play in MLS has improved since the league was founded in 1996 and the success of the United States Men's National Team in the FIFA World Cup 2002 Korea/Japan, reaching the quarter-final round for the first time, has been partly attributed to the experience gained by playing in MLS.
		As a result, most of the players in the league are from the United States but some are renowned international players, with Latin America and the Caribbean being the home region for the largest number of international players.

		The quality of play in MLS has improved since the league was founded in 1996 and the success of the United States Men's National Team in the FIFA World Cup 2002 Korea/Japan, reaching the quarterfinals for the first time since 1930, has been partly attributed to the experience gained by playing in MLS.
		Two teams, the New England Revolution and the Kansas City Wizards, are operated by the owners of their cities' respective NFL teams and use those teams' stadiums: Gillette Stadium and Arrowhead Stadium, respectively.
		Some blame the continual nature of soccer, with relatively few set plays, fixed positions, timeouts and goals, may make the sport seem dull to some Americans; others attribute failures to the low-scoring nature of the game; still others blame the perception of soccer as a "foreign" sport.

		O.K., so all the hype surrounding the 2004 MLS Regular Season openers for all 10 Major League Soccer clubs is in the past, with all of them kicking off their soccer action two weeks ago.
		The Rapids went to Dallas to take on the Burn in their return to the Cotton Bowl, which perhaps is the best soccer surface in the entire MLS!(if you don’t believe me, just ask any of the players!) and got away with one point on the road after a one to one draw.
		At the end of the regular season, one point was all that separated the Columbus Crew from fourth place in the Eastern Conference and a playoff berth.

		DENVER (Monday, November 2, 1998) - The Colorado Rapids have declined to exercise their option to purchase the contract of Peruvian forward Waldir from Alianza Lima, meaning he will not return to the Rapids in 1999.
		Waldir was with the Rapids in 1998 via a loan agreement with the Peruvian team, which gave the Rapids the option to purchase his contract outright after the 1998 season.
		After joining the Rapids prior to the 1998 season following a prolific five years in the Peruvian First Division, the diminutive striker never quite found his scoring touch in Major League Soccer, and struggled for most of the season.

		But this season, a two goal deficit is child’s play; a teaser; an opportunity for growth, as Tony Robbins might say.
		If more managers and GMs thought this way, the regular season would be ten times more exciting than it is. I know it has to do, partially, with the size of the league, but let’s face it, if 2/3 of the league make the playoffs, the regular season loses something.
		I’ve played soccer since I was 17, and I know a little about the game, but on the other hand, I’m not good.
