MLS Seeks World Cup Excitement Through Open Cup

New MLS Commissioner Larry Berg wants to bring the 'jeopardy' and drama of the World Cup to American soccer. While opposing promotion and relegation, Berg supports creating meaningful consequences during the regular season and playoffs.

After millions experienced the passion of the co-hosted World Cup, Berg sees knockout games as a model for excitement. 'In the World Cup, we all enjoyed knockout games after the group stage,' he noted. 'I call those games of consequence or games of jeopardy.' The US Open Cup could serve as a platform for this heightened competition as MLS seeks to build on the global tournament's momentum. amunra-opinie.pl
