Answer 1

The format for the 2007 season is as follows:

* Season runs from April 2007 to a championship match played November 18, 2007.
* 13 teams split into two conferences: the Western Conference will have six teams, while the Eastern Conference will have seven, with Toronto FC as the newest addition. Each team plays 30 games, evenly divided among home and away matches. Each team will play every other team twice, home and away, for a total of 24 games. The remaining 6 games will all be intra-conference, with each team playing its fellow conference members an additional game. In the Western Conference, an additional game will be added to the above, highlighting a local rivalry (Los Angeles vs. Chivas USA, Houston vs. FC Dallas, Salt Lake vs. Colorado).
* At season's end, the top two teams of each conference will make the playoffs; in addition, the next four highest point totals, regardless of conference, will also be in the playoffs. In the first round of this knockout tournament, aggregate goals over two matches determine the winners; the Conference Championships are one match each, with the winner of each conference advancing to MLS Cup. In all rounds, draws will be broken with 2 15-minute periods of extra time, followed by penalty kicks if necessary. The away goals rule is not used.
* The team with the best record in the 30 game regular season wins the MLS Supporters' Shield and qualifies for the next CONCACAF Champions' Cup. The MLS Champion also qualifies for the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. If the Supporters' Shield winner wins the MLS Cup, the runner-up to the Supporters Shield is the second qualifier.
* During the season, all MLS teams may also compete in the U.S. Open Cup (except Toronto), the current CONCACAF Champions' Cup, select international tournaments, and various exhibitions.
* A new United States-Mexico club competition will also make up the 2007 season schedule, with matches occurring midweek. MLS teams will qualify for the tournament based on regular season performance.

2 diverse branches, there's a club team, (think of a team like the Minnesota Twins, case in point.) then there are worldwide, FIFA regulated communities. (think of like American League , national League, different than in an more advantageous assessment) The UEFA is for ecu international locations purely, there's a Gold Cup for international locations like usa Canada Mexico Antiga and Barbuda, etc. worldwide levels, there are tournaments including Gold Cup, UEFA, international Cup, Olympics, etc, which you relatively prefer to be in.

Answer 4

I guess it's similar to how all the other Ameircan teams are. I saw in the movie, Miracle, which was for hockey, that for a few days, men from all over the country would try out for the American team. Most of them play for their college team. So maybe that's how it works for soccer as well. I'm not sure, though. But I know about how it works in England. And how in Russia, the players for the Russian team play for Canadian and American National teams when they don't have to be playing in Russia.

I hope this helps!

Answer 5

Nice answer above (the long one).

Why dont they just bang em all into the same league though? Then, start a lower division with promotion to the top league, this will help the bottom teams in higher league stay competetive (to avoid relegation)

Answer 6

well you get this big tent, put a ring in it, have a high wire, a few animals and a few clowns being controlled by the ringmaster. we know it better as a circus.

Answer 7

Simple... teams play games and no one watches.

Sorry, no clue. I can't stand soccer.
