It's fair to ignore it though considering it is detached from mls. Maybe mls expansion teams will be drawn from there, who knows, but it is doubtful mls owners would be big on their teams being relegated to the nasl,

Somehow I don't think Premier League owners are super stoked about their clubs being relegated to the Championship either.
They don't have a choice, the premier league was set up with the teams who happened to be in division 1 at the time and kept the old system. Ownership of the premier league changes with new teams.
MLS on the other hand was formed by these owners as a weird centralized unified company without a link to a previous system with promotion and relegation. It's members were specifically set up in the best profit making areas

British sports clubs are about losing money nobly for art and culture. Do you have any idea what a freaking miracle the MLS still exists? This was a pretty long odds project.

Promotion and relegation will never happen in the United States.

We're being defeated by Iceland.  Again.
And we won't be able to qualify directly, what a mess.

No offence but the Dutch team kinda fucked themselves up, not so much the Icelanders.  :lol: :huh:

Italy always does that to you. They beat everybody 1-0.

Or used to. They seem to have lost their swagger of late.

Oh definitely.  The Dutch were their own worst enemy as usual.
But Iceland played well, and they've now won 6 out of 7.

It will be nice to see some new countries in the finals.

Denmark v. Albania tonight. We have to win but Albania has proven to be very good and even beating Portugal.

Btw Tyr, I'm sure there's still tickets to the game so it's a good chance to see Bendtner in action.

I was wrong. It's completely sold out, apparently there's a lot of Albanians in Denmark and neighbouring countries.
