On the heels of the MLS Cup, both Off Wing Opinon and The Sports Economist have pieces on changes in the works for Major League Soccer discovered in this AP article: MLS Should look to Rest of World. The article is pretty short and lacking in actual details about what changes might be in store for the league so I wouldn’t jump to any conclusions. I think it’s mostly an afirmation that in the first years of the league, those in charge changed too much about the setup in an attempt to Americanize a global sport. Changes over the last few years such as counting the clock up, eliminating the shootout, and allowing regular season games to end in a tie have brought play in line with how its played in the rest of the world.
