I think that a MLS team in Detroit could happen and Ford Field would be the perfect venue but I do not see MLS lasting too long in Detroit.

The announced this week that they are looking to put a team in Cleveland or St. Louis.  If a team goes into Cleveland, I'd think that it would not be likely that Detroit would get one.

I think it would be the best thing that could happen for the club. It seems to be business gone wrong. They were brought there not to help West Ham but to help out in a business deal I think.

I think Mexico City is the next logical market, as the league is obviously interested in international expansion with NFL Europe and taking preseason games out of the country almost every year now. And since they have sold out a large stadium everytime the game has gone to Mexico City, they appear to have the support and the population base to support a team.\n \nAnd the least likely is Las Vegas. While perhaps one of the strongest candidates on paper, the perception of the influence of gambling will be too great for the near future for any professional sports league to place a team there (above the minor league or developmental league level).

Yeah, that would be cool.  You'd get some good teams that don't always team together.  The Crockett Cup was good....Sting & Luger, The Koloffs, Midnight Express, Rock n' Roll Express, the Varsity Club.  Yeah, bring it back!

Frankly, I doubt it...nothing against Detroit, but it's a city built around an industry. It lacks a great deal of culture or sophistication that would draw people to it for the "Olympic" experience. Might as well have them in Flint....

Chelsea worked out a deal with the Company AEG who owns 4 MLS teams. The worked out a deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy to send their players over to the states to develop and they have the option to transfer players from the MLS if they want. So that could be part of it, to test the waters and see how good some of the players they want to develop are.

That would be awesome!!\nLet's go for 2014 and 2018 first - South America has hosted it before and Europe has hosted it many times so it would be s smart move for FIFA to give Australia a shot at being host. It would be great for the game of soccer both in Australia and Asia (as Aus is now part of the Asian league for WC qualification).

If things go as I see it. Someone will start a European League, and within a couple of years it will fold/merge with the NHL.

well there not going to expend for a very long time, but the 4 top places that would get an NHL team which might happen sooner then later if the Pens can't get their arena built, its a Canadian business man that bought the Pens. if he could he would bring them to Hamilton, Ontario, but it will be hard cause of the Leafs are so close and his second city he has mentioned was Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario. Kansas City was another spot for a team but that was if this other buyer would of bought the team, so you can say it might not go there. but another great spot would be to bring back the Jets in Winnipeg they have a new arena which is bigger then most NHL arena's and the Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario has a Capacity of 19,000 also bigger then most arena's in the NHL, so if it doesn't work out in Pittsburgh you will see a new team in Canada which they should have a team cause hockey is Canada.\n\nGO HABS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Of course the other first division leagues are better.  Those teams have been around for a hundred years.  The MLS is only 10 years old.  Give it time before you start trying to compare it to the EPL.  It may not be as pretty as the games from other countries, but it is still soccer and still great to watch.  It is also helping move the game along and make the US a more competitive national team. No complaints about it here.

At they very least I would like to see them join for an Amer Cup for all South, Central and NA teams that would rival the Euro Cup.  If could like the Euro Cup be played on even years between World Cups.\n\nAs far as World Cup Qualifying it would be interesting and would definately put some more presure on Mexico and the US in terms of qualifying but there are so many teams in Concacaf I'm not sure how the Qualifying rounds would be setup to make it work out.

In today's sports environment, it's not so much how the sport is received but a matter of simple business demographics. There are a handful of locations that are supportive of hockey and without a team to support but they won't get a team in the near future due to the population size, financial backing, and stadium situations. But there are other, more "attractive" cities that represent an opportunity for return of investment that would not have a hockey team even if summer turned to winter.\n\nIt seems to me that the likeliest destination for a franchise move are Kansas City, Hartford, and Salt Lake City. The teams most likely to move are the Coyotes, Panthers, Islanders, and Penguins. \n\nThe disparity Between the Canadian and American dollars is the biggest influence in deciding where to put a team. If something isn't resolved, the unthinkable could occur. The Canadiens, Maple Leafs, and Canucks can stick around, even operate at a loss, but smaller cities could lose their squads as Quebec and Winnipeg did. The odd situation in my mind is the Ottawa team. How can the capital city not have a team for decades, get a new one, and still struggle? Simple, it's all about profit and it is hard to do that and remain competitive in Canada vs. the United States.\n\nPersonally, I'd like to see less southern U.S. teams and more northern cities in the league. And, I am a proponent of contraction.

Frankly I agree that the 32 team number is great.  At fifty years old I remember when there were half that number.  I would, however, move teams.  The southeast has far too many teams in the conferences.  With the large NCAA and NASCAR schedules move one of the Florida teams to Nebraska or Oklahoma.  I would then move the NO Saints to Arizona, and Arizona to NO.  Neither owner deserves a team.  Bidwell can't do anything right and Benton is a disgrace.  Notice Benton's been so quiet since his problem plagued city sold-out his stadium?  If they want to own them, fine, make them move them!!

Only if MLS can attract top international talent. And if we ever becomes competitive in the WC, which is doubtful.

I think second place wouldn't be too shabby! The Tigers are alot like my REDS,every time I expect to see a loss,I am surprised with yet another win! WHoahhhhhhhh,wouldn't a Detroit-Cincinnati World Series be sweet!

If they do, I would consider it a miracle.  The United States does not put as much emphasis in the sport as most of the country.  The resources available to the US National Team are not sufficient, in my opinion, to build a team capable of winning the World Cup.  They can do well, but it would be a surprise to me to see them past the quarter finals.
