I would love it for a bunch of reasons. For one, we'd get more MLS matches that look like this:

But people say that MLS doesn't have a hard time competing with MLB for viewership over the summer. A winter schedule would pit them against the NBA, NFL and NHL.

Personally, I kind of think that's bullshit. I have a hard time believing that the intersection of fans of basketball, football and hockey intersect so significantly with soccer fans that MLS would see any significant decline in viewership. Plus, soccer games are most often played on the weekends, in the early afternoon. Those other leagues mostly play during prime time. If anything, they'd have to compete with the EPL which heavily saturates the airwaves here anyway.

Playing soccer in the cold is a miserable experience. A frozen ball to the inner thigh is just. Ugh. And playing in snow basically makes it a completely different game. Playing in the winter would be a terrible idea.

If it's good enough for Europe it should be good enough for us.

Playing football in the cold is god awful and the game changes when it's snowing but no complaints there.

playing soccer in the summer is miserable too. i never really played in any weather colder than about 40F but that was bad enough at the time.

Beautiful equalizer by Lampard against his former club. Badass City-Chelsea game with only 10 on field for MC

TuralyonW3 · 10-05-2014, 11:22 AM

Bread Regal · 10-05-2014, 11:56 AM

I haven't watched a single match this season and cable is a ripoff.
