Some Soccer News for Mon Jun 25, 2012
du Nord, June 25, 2012
STARTERS Watching those two MLS derby games on Sunday showed exactly how far the league has come, with two packed stadiums and 4 teams going all out. What a great end to a huge Round 16 for MLS. That may have been the single best week of play in league history. But unfortunately most of the media is so enamored with Europe that they have all but missed this amazing round of soccer. The 2 biggest American sports media moguls, ESPN and Sports Illustrated, have NOTHING on the league except their regular Monday power rankings. NOTHING else! STORY OF THE DAY Alex Labidou of Goal.com looks at one of the big things holding MLS back in the American sports landscape - low salaries. Thierry Henry is one of a couple of insiders who chime in on the subject. But this is putting the cart before the horse. Salaries are not going up before revenue does.
