ASN Morning Read: MLSers Dig Promotion/Relegation
Major League Soccer players weighed in on a number of topics, including the idea of a promotion/relegation system in the United States and Jurgen Klinsmann's comments on the league.
- In an anonymous MLS player poll, 64 percent of those surveyed would favor promotion and relegation. In addition, 85% disagree with Jurgen Klinsmann's assertion that MLS players are not fit enough. One said: "I think Jurgen Klinsmann is ridiculous. He (expletive) on the league of the country where he's the coach of the national team, but when the games really count he relies on the team's strength, which is the MLS players."
- Great longform piece on Bill Hamid.
- Ali Krieger: "I think without struggle you can't grow as a person – I think you need that in your life."
- Back in the United States after a grueling Premier League season, Geoff Cameron files another blog entry for ProSoccerTalk, including a stop at Stu Holden’s wedding.
- Regional rivalries add intrigue to the U.S. Open Cup.
- We all love Sydney Leroux and Dom Dwyer, so watch this video that goes behind the scenes with the power couple:
