I have many facts that make me think that soccer is taking a considerable leap into popularity...
1. Many US owners from Football to Basketball to Baseball teams are investing serious money on English soccer teams... Manchester Utd, Liverpool, Aston Villa
2. There been a few MLS teams doing partnerships with Europeans teams... such as Colorado Rapids.. which got deal with Arsenal.
3. I think in the next few years... many top players will follow the steps of David Beckham... to come in to the MLS..
4. Almost every MLS franchise has or is constructing their own stadiums.. plus the league is expanding with Salt Lake and Chivas USA last year and Toronto in 2007.
5. TV networks are getting more rights to show soccer... ESPN, ABC and Univision (spanish) had the rights over every world cup game.. plus they will have the deal for the 2007 Gold Cup, i think Copa America, Champions League and EuroCup 2008 too.
There are a few other things, but i would like to know your opinion?
