In most countries, the name of his game as well. Words such as football, soccer, futbol, futebol, surfers are not only sound alike, they are the same game in the United States, however, they call it football. Major League Soccer (MLS) as the American Professional Football League has been for a while now.
Unlike other U.S. major leagues, MLS has not dominate public attention on the sport in the world, yet their master is crowned ?World Champion?. MLS has gone through constant development. Does it have the attention of the public and the media in the world of football to win? No!
Football as the second most popular sport in the seventh or 10th in the United States does not make much difference will the American public is always the NFL, MLB, NHL or NBA. Audiences around the world the following leagues with the same attention because they are among the world?s leading sports leagues.
In recent years, changing with the globalization of the media, the scene of the world of sports in this process began, presented the English soccer Premier League, who describes himself as ?The Greatest Show on Earth? and is actually the most popular and most widely watched sports league, with a worldwide audience now estimated half a billion people and media income for seasons 2007-2010 to over $ 5 billion. If watching the world football leagues including the English Premier League or Spanish La Liga, which is on the other Major League sports appear as a national audience? Is part of the American public once again to watch soccer leagues overseas, as well? Such questions of football is a problem in sport in the United States to be.
Every now and then wakes MLS officials from drowsiness to the shade of the Top 4 American major leagues at the time the World Cup is taking place, and it becomes clear how huge football game in terms of its World Community Service, the media and sponsors.
When the noise is about the World Cup, the MLS would fall into drowsiness. It should not be so clear after the 2006 World Cup in Germany, where world opinion was understanding of the modern European soccer stadiums, contracts for millions of players ? the sports spotlight got a hold on soccer.
This time it is not the MLS, the MLS is to promote the initiative to take, it?s all the professional sports industry in the American entertainment industry. This is a business opportunity where the money goes to the football world was too big to overlook or discard.
In the summer of 2007, the U.S. tried to take over soccer, the soccer world by storm by David Beckham a $ 250 million contract, the contract is the most expensive footballer in the history of sports, some described it as a deal to bring Beckham to America is considered to be the largest in sports history. MLS has sent a message to the world.
In the middle of summer, when European leagues between the seasons and the water was still, MLS got the desired exposure with reports that are dominated by the family moved to Los Angeles Beckham. The stories of the football media and public attention on the MLS yet? No!
Is $ 250 million of long-term exposure? Time will tell. Autumn came, European and international leagues are thriving, world news sports post article in at least Beckham, LA Galaxy and MLS. To make things worst, LA will barely make the playoffs, allowing the media to write less.
In the league, which total more than $ 350 million the first 8 years after its inception (a report from Business Week 2004), had lost, where currently only two teams, LA Galaxy and FC Dallas are profitable to expect with three other teams that profitable within a year, seems to be a $ 250 million investment as a one-player gaming. If so, what are the chances?
In recent years, some notable players decided to step away from the big leagues in Europe and South America for a financially good contract with teams from the Gulf. The securities reported, rich arrangements, but it was not a bit of monitoring the media coverage of the leagues.
Long before the arrival of David Beckham, MLS tries to reduce exposure with Freddy Adu, a player under 16, who was crowned as the next Pel ? gain. Adu received significant media attention, the world knew that he plays for DC United of MLS.
Many can not or do not know that Adu, last summer at the age of 18, signed a contract in Europe with Benfica FC signed ? Portugal. Prior to joining Benfica, Adu spent some time in the summer training camp at Manchester United, Alex Ferguson has not give him reason to stay.
Benfica paid club in Salt Lake City $ 2 million for release Adu and $ 1.2 million per year player, solid, but not the contract that the message received Tops. Adu was not on the list of the Champions League Benfica against Milan on 18 September compared to a player like Messi, Adu?s current age and under have been at 11 for FC Barcelona giant balloon. The MLS does not seem won considerable attention for the sport with Adu, still have contributed to its expected development in the world as dominant players. Throughout history, played some of the best football player ever in the states, including e-pel, Beckenbauer, Eusebio ?
After decades, many attempts have not the results for the success of the U.S. Soccer hopes that plays for a difference Beckham (currently about six weeks absence due to injury) may makes now revealed? Let?s take a quick look at the MLS, a professional soccer league, which began in 1996 with more than 10 seasons of experience in development.
Logistics and infrastructure:
The date of publication of these texts, 27 September 2007, Beckham?s LA Galaxy play against the Kansas City Wizards. SPORTiana.com, as the author of this text had the insight in MLS through KC Wizards in the summer of 2006, a year before the arrival of Beckham in the MLS. At that time, respondent head coach KC Wizards of with himself and two other assistant coaches to run the team training and forced him to leave some players sit 26 Orientation man on the bench, because not capable of them all on the field in training at the same time.
The training facilities include an outdoor gym and door edge with KC NFL team leader at Arrowhead Stadium Complex used. Open was the assistant to the Air Education site next to the fence aside KC Chiefs training fields.
The meadow grass was almost wizard on the ground separately as hard as a stone, an area where many players spend on training to avoid injuries. A head coach, two trainers present fitness trainer ? NFL stadium and facilities ? small office space in the corner of a stadium ? It would be quite a contrast with the clubs in the league where Beckham previously played.
Players:
Most MLS players come into the league as drafted college players. College football usually means the player playing for a purse full of signed contracts with the first trip, at the age of 22 or more each. In other countries, the first professional contracts usually at the age of 18 will be signed at the age of 22, the player of a 4-year contract and managers have a better understanding of the possibilities of a player in pro football.
This means that college players are 4 years too late. With the signing of a first professional contract at age 22, they would come from the world?s contract for four years at age 26, the time major football clubs prefer to invest their money in sight 22 years old, had AA 4 years experience in the professional football. College players do not play more in the MLS (the first professional contract player) on their way to better paid than most foreign leagues clubs not to sign a college football-league players would no experience of professional football at age 22 years to happen.
Prominent American actors like Demarkus Beasley ($ 2 million in PSV ? Netherlands, currently ? 700,000 with the Rangers ? Scotland) or Tim Howard ($ 4,000,000 to Man Utd ? England now, after being loaned to Everton) came directly from MLS high school college football without playing, like Freddy Adu.
For an average football fan with the ability to pursue a variety of games, such as the giant rendering of the game in the national championships, as last weekend, when he was a man Utd vs Chelsea, England, Barcelona vs. Sevilla in Spain, Roma vs Juventus in Italy, PSV vs Feyenoord in the Netherlands ? Boca Juniors games in Argentina, in Lyon, France ? there is little room for the MLS.
A football fan wants to competitiveness, enthusiastic fans, decades of bitter rivalry between the clubs, the tradition, the world?s best players, established players with a reputation of playing for major clubs, ultramodern look football-specific stadiums, most of the MLS does not offer. The MLS needs to attract the interest of the American public and the media to get the same interest with the international community. Hardworking, attractive all-around players like Eddie Johnson KC Wizards or DC United Jaime Moreno, the quality in the 2007 Copa America this summer for a competitive league player prototypes successfully demonstrated.
The MLS has proposed soccer-specific stadiums for modern clubs are all a step forward. Germany Bundesliga witnessed tremendous boost public interest and media attention in national and international levels before and after the 2006 World Cup, with a legacy of great new and renewed old stadiums. The MLS should be internationalized as far as possible, the English Premier League when foreign billionaires started buying clubs had got world class players to make an even more impressive, the League of the most watched and profitable the world. Many authors have about why football is so popular in the United States speculated, because it is in some other countries, show that most of them on the fact that the game was not scoring enough. Changing the rules of the game may be in favor of more goals per game with an advantage this time.
Football is a powerful force, he has been the North American major league sports philosophy, MLS clubs in the Super League competition and the Copa Sudamericana changed, the New York Red Bulls new stadium includes a complete ?-style European? roof in 2007 MLS started selling ad space on the front of the jersey (a floor of $ 500,000 per shirt sponsorship), according to the practice of international football.
Increases when the Latin American immigration to the United States is whether the interest in football. With football the most popular sport recreation for boys and girls, has the potential MLS. In 2006, said Don Garber, MLS Commissioner, his expectations for league clubs to be profitable by the year 2010. Merchandise sales through Beckham from LA Galaxy next 4 four years with the club can not top $ 600 million, as it was during his time at Real Madrid, MLS is still a player on the cover of Sports Illustrated and collect a lot of 66,000 spectators at Giants Stadium packaging.
