		SOCCER, name commonly given in North America to a form of FOOTBALL in which members of two opposing teams use their feet, heads, and bodies in attempting to advance a spherical ball into the opponent’s goal.
		Organized soccer is played on a grass field, or pitch, of not more than 130 yd (119 m) in length by 100 yd (91 m) in width, and not less than 100 yd (91 m) in length by 50 yd (46 m) in width.
		Soccer was first seen in the Olympics in 1900 and was included as a medal sport in 1908, but professional players could not officially compete until 1984.

	Major League Soccer
		Major League Soccer (MLS) is a professional soccer league with teams in the United States and Canada.
		MLS was formed on December 17, 1993, in fulfillment of Alan Rothenberg and 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.
		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.

		The name was dropped, due to this political pressure and pressure from potential Hispanic media and sponsors, on March 6, 2006, the 170th anniversary of the seizure of the Alamo and execution of the Texan fighters by the Mexican Army.
		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".
		American soccer leagues have not generally been considered to be successes, for a variety of reasons.

	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.

	FIFA 2000: Major League Soccer for PC Review - PC FIFA 2000: Major League Soccer Review
		Soccer has never been very popular in the United States, if only because its 45-minute halves of continuous action are unlike the frequent start-stop dynamic of pro football, baseball, and basketball.
		FIFA 2000 lets you play up to three seasons in a league, but without this active trading there is really no point, since the same teams remain powerful.
		This may be why the customizable league stops after one season - but it would be nice to have active trading and leagues that could continue year after year.

	CBC Sports Online: Major League Soccer coming to Toronto
		Major League Soccer is the top professional soccer league in the United States.
		On Nov. 12, the league's board of governors is scheduled to meet and vote on whether to admit as many as two new teams for the 2007 season.
		Unlike other pro sports leagues, MLS is organized as a "single-entity" organization, meaning the league (and not the individual teams) contracts directly with the players.

	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.

	Soccer Season Never Ends
		Since becoming a soccer fan five years ago, in the wake of the 1994 World Cup, I've preached the virtues of the game to all around me. I've given away tickets, invited people to my house, taken time to explain the game and its meaning.
		But due to the worldwide popularity of soccer and the omnipresence of television, top-level soccer is available to the rabid soccer fan every week of the year.
		In addition, all-star teams from one nation battle other nations on a regular basis in international "friendlies." Top games from these leagues and friendlies are broadcast live, tape-delayed, or highlighted weekly on ESPN or on the major Spanish television stations, Telemundo (channel 52) and Univision (channel 34).

		One of the major reasons baseball continues to factor in the sports pages print and web well after their season is done is simple.
		The off-season for most soccer leagues is so short to begin with, then there's the overlay of National Team games.
		For instance, nobody would argue that National Hockey League salaries were escalating, but the players, their union, and agents would argue that the reported losses by the clubs were exaggerated.

		This look at the 1999 season of Major League Soccer, the North American professional soccer league, will be a treat for those who are fans of the league.
		Some of the characters who have become stars of the league, such as the Tampa Bay Mutiny's Carlos Valderrama (referred to in the documentary by his nickname around the league, "the guy with the hair") and the Kansas City Wizards' Alexi Lalas, are briefly profiled.
		A seemingly inherent flaw in this production, however, is that while the professional soccer league is not enormously popular (a fact underscored by stretches of empty seats glimpsed in some game films), this season recap doesn't provide much introductory material for the benefit of those who might be new to the league.
