	Major League Soccer 2004 :: Soccerphile
		The most important fact about the start of Major League Soccer's ninth season is that football continues to strengthen its bridgehead in its last unconquered land.
		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.

	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".

	IGN: FIFA Soccer 2002 Review
		This translates into exciting league and qualification matches, but it also means that another, more complete game is just around the corner.
		The title may be FIFA Soccer 2002, but the game should really be called Road to the World Cup as you once again compete for the chance to play in the tournament -- you don't actually play in it.
		FIFA 2002 definitely suffers from "launch game syndrome." As the first soccer game out on GameCube, it lacks many of the options that the developers have been able to add when moving into the third or fourth incarnation of the game on any given platform.
