Hey @Simster you seem to know about these things: I see the 'other' big name of the old 1970s NASL, the Tampa Bay Rowdies, have reformed and they too are in the new NASL. Is there a chance they could get into the MLS? Or will the potential Beckham franchise stymie that?
Seattle Sounders, the 'Emerald City'. Supported them (in a previous incarnation) in the old NASL as Peter Ward played for them, then when Seattle got an MLS franchise I was delighted that they kept the traditional name for the Seattle team.
I've been to Seattle, but not in the football (soccer)...
