MLS will steadily grow over the next decade, of that I have no doubt. I think soccer in America has a ceiling, though. NFL and NBA will be #1 and #2 for a long, long time, but MLS could surpass NHL, and maybe MLB by the end of the decade if its momentum continues.

In any case, I'm so geeked over this deal. MLS is the only league I enjoy anymore. I dig parity and salary-capped leagues, and soccer has this suspense about it where every minute matters unlike most other sports. Great pickup for Apple.

MLS doesn't yet have a good farm system like in Europe or other leagues here in the U.S. like MLB. Seems to be why you get a lot of older talent coming from elsewhere.
