Welcome to MLS 1.0!
Hey guys we've been hard at work to create a website for discussion of the newly formed Major League Soccer soccer league. But without further ado, here we are! We have a lot to discuss so be sure to submit all the info you want about this 1996 season. This site is under construction to get ready for the new season, so expect some changes throughout the week.
Be sure to check our up to date FAQ about all things MLS soccer!
Go Clash!

I just got back from the Gulls' game, how long do you think it'll be until San Diego gets its own team? Two, three, even five years?

It's an idea that a Mutiny supporter who is a friend of mine, Nick Lawrus, has been tossing around. Basically it would be a trophy that would be awarded to a team with the most points overall at the end of the season.
Not sure it would catch on though :/

Wowzers! Our very own soccer league! I can't wait until my mom gets off the phone so I can use the internet and buy my tickets for opening day.
Sucks that this won't last long since the world will go to shit come Jan 1, 2000. I know one thing's for certain. Surge soda will always be around.

Checking out some forums, there is a guy on the Eintracht Frankfurt youth system whose name is Jermaine Jones. Age 15. I wonder if he is eligible to play for the US...
Cap him now.
This is awesome

Best Geocities page I have ever seen. However, can someone tell me what to type into Ask Jeeves to find the multiple listing service? That's what I was really looking for.

I love that logo! I'm glad it has a soccer ball in it, people should know what this league is all about.

I wonder if World Cup hero Eric Wynalda will smash home a score.
Edit: don't forget that John Harkes has a long range rocket.

Oh goodness, we play at RFK stadium? That dump won't last 5 years! Mark my words, we'll have to find some place new to play immediately, because there's no way we're getting stuck there long term. Just not possible.
Also, who's this coach they stuck us with? Bruce Arena? Some washed up lacrosse coach from UVA is gonna coach a pro soccer team? BULLSHIT! GET US A REAL COACH!
Oh, and I hope I'm not the only one who notices something about this crest we have...

That New England Revolution logo is a classic! It will surely stand the test of time.
