It is really amazing. Like REALLY amazing - that the NASL was able to bring stars like Pele, Giorgio Chinaglia, Johan Cruyff, and Franz Beckenbauer. How? Owners who had lots of money.

Just like the Singapore league, if MLS can find some deep pockets, they could become a force pretty quick. By a force, I don't mean Germany, England, Spain, France, but they could rival all the leagues just below them.

This, of course, would require a systemic rebuild of the structure of MLS and with the rapid expansion, the likelihood of so many high powered folks buying a franchise is low, but if there is a path to MLS greatness, it lies in big time owners who love the sport spending money to fuel their egos. Andy Hauptman need not apply.
