As if you hadn't had enough. Claims they will be announced as the 20th team before the end of the year.

Byrne is making that claim on an announcement by the end of the year...

not the MLS. However, I would be surprised if there was an expansion anywhere else.

Me too.

It doesn’t really seem like there’s much movement from anywhere else in the country.

You really don't want

to be at 19 long term though. That’s a pain for scheduling. They want #20 somewhere.

Not so bad

Wouldn’t be so bad if MLS would balance the schedule at 19 teams. 36 games would be a longer season but not out of the realm of possibility. A heavier load for sure but as always, we’ll have to see.

As in move it more towards the start of March or end of February
