Next year San Jose will be added to MLS to even out the league at 14 teams.
In 2009 it sounds like the Seattle Sounders are going to become the league’s 15th team. That is the rumor going about right now about MLS expansion. It may be that some big money from Microsoft (or just Paul Allen) is involved as a part owner.
supposedly 2010 will bring one more team into the MLS. Got any predictions on who it will be then? St. Louis? Cleveland? Milwaukee? Philladelphia? Minneapolis/St. Paul? I would love to see it come to Minnesota but think St. Louis or Philly is more likely.

im still pissed that san diego didn’t get chivas. i’ve driven up to la to watch a couple of games, but san diego is not only a city of one million plus with a metro topping two million, we’ve also got two mexican markets (tijuana and mexicali) that are also two million plus and neither of which have a top level mexican league team. hello??? they could put the stadium in chula vista…
Being that Chivas have one of the lowest attendances in the league it might have been better for them to play somewhere else. Was anyone in San Diego willing to put up the money to bring a team there? I never heard of anyone wanting to bring a team to San Deigo.
St. Louis is in for 2009 hands down. I think MLS will ad another team in 2009 to even the conferences out at 16 and it would make sense for Seattle to be that team
