I say this from a position of complete ignorance but as a proud Maryland grad.
What are you supposed to do when every other team in your conference is both richer and better than you?
Like “he isn’t a coaching genius performing way above his means fucking FIRE him?”

So, the Premier League is the biggest league in the U.S. This much we know. But the Bundesliga is also quite cool.
I talked to some people there about where the league is at right now, and how it looks to grow after the World Cup. x

Aaaaaand a week later, they now hold the record for longest unbeaten run in MLS history (21 games)
St. Louis CITY were among the worst teams in MLS. Then, they lost their best player.
Less than three months later, they're on the verge of a record undefeated streak and have a real chance of winning the Western Conference.
How? Well...

New England and its 5 main USL clubs have figured out how to get lower league soccer right. How? Well, it’s a mixture of direct democracy, pretty badges and a replica of a statue of Eusebio, designed by a man from Massachusetts in 1992.
