+1 what Charlesj27 said.


also, good that they are at least talking together (and not in public too)

Hopefully we'll see:

1) a rise in the minimum salaries
2) salarycap increase
3) expanded rosters
4) giving some concessions to long time (5yrs+) MLS players

I really hope that both sides can work things out. I am eager to see more Soccer / Futbol this year. I really enjoying watching The Worlds most popular spectator sport. Especially this year with The World Cup comming up & millions of people around the world looking forward to it. I think that both sides would really want to make an agreement to keep the MLS gaining momentum! & gear us All up for The World Cup & keep the sport of Soccer gaining popularity in America.
