How MLS NEXT Pro is changing soccer in North America

[@dominicclarke7875]

I'm an Arsenal fan living in England but I'm so glad the MLS is spreading its wings and growing.good job USA.

[@andrewrichardson3330]

Branding and marketing has been great. It will take a few years to see the impact though.

[@faillingUppwards]

One more sleep till we have an actual kickoff! The hype is real!

[@joaocarlos8858]

MLS tem que ganhar um torneio de visibilidade pra ter destaque internacional.👍⚽️🇺🇸

[@lucasphillyfan6172]

A MLS já tem uma vaga garantida na final da concachampions, assim como o México. Tem que jogar o jogo da vida, senão vai dar México de novo. Eu acho que o Sounders é melhor que o New York City FC.

[@joaocarlos8858]

Bom se os 1os colocados disputassem a libertadores algum ano . Os Mas fortes da MLS 👍🇺🇸⚽️

[@benrobbins8435]

So this league is the equivalent of the Premier League 2? The U23 league?

[@hobbitandfriends]

It's going to be 3rd division, with USL Championship being 2nd division. But likely similiar to U23, as well, since they are feeder teams for their MLS parents

[@benrobbins8435]

@@hobbitandfriends Then what about USL League One and League Two? I thought those were D3 and D4

[@shawnwesterfield6165]

@@benrobbins8435 MLS Next Pro is on the same Professional tier as USL League One

[@hobbitandfriends]

@@benrobbins8435 yes, correct USL1 is D3 and USL2 is D4. MLS Next will share its D3 ranking along with NISL and USL1

[@nakhwan]

@@hobbitandfriends NISA not NISL

[@noelrodriguez681]

Every team no matter league or level needs to think and develop like Dallas or at least Philly.

Why is a reserve team league going to change soccer in America?

[@Shatterliner]

As a chelsea supporters cmon mls!

[@cindymachado7532]

Can you stream MLS Next Pro matches on demand

[@yeetonthesheeshroad874]

Yay

[@Steph-p8c]

I want to get recruited here

[@maztlan09]

Why doesn't MLS compete in Copa Liberatores? To get experience.

[@mattklimczak4609]

Didn’t actually say anything. Marketing mumbo-jumbo.

[@mikeditocco9075]

Yeah, the only thing I got out of it was that all the matches will be on the league website.

[@dgh6g33gf]

Maybe they should wait until they have one season under their belt before making propaganda, maybe waiting before their first season kickoff even, guess not HEY GUYS! This thing that barely exists yet and has done nothing literally nothing yet is REVOLUTIONIZING North American soccer!!!!

[@mattklimczak4609]

@@dgh6g33gf propaganda it is.

[@jthomashair]

@@dgh6g33gf They have to have a vision for what they want it to be and accomplish. Nothing wrong with being vocal about that, it makes it easier to be held accountable

[@69gvfb]

hopefully Ali Curtis does a better job at MLS Pro than he did at TFC. Great guy, not a great team builder.

[@Katkayz]

Make sure you go to in the inner cities.make soccer affordable end pay to play

[@MrJosedaluz]

What if Next Pro brings south american team and euro teams.

[@FAITHandLOGIC]

There won't be any fans at these matches.

[@bigjoeofthe707]

No it’s not. Flash forward and the first independent club in the league folded after a single season. The recent finals for this league could only get 2,500 in attendance whereas the MLS finals had a sellout crowd. Even the finals of both USL pro leagues had better crowds than the MLSNP finals

[@bigjoeofthe707]

Sorry MLS but I can’t pretend. Y’all wanna pretend fine but I saw with my own eyes in the highlights of games in this league. Not the type you think it’s getting. Don’t even compare it to the early days of MLS cause it’s different. MLS is an actual pro league whereas MLSNP is just a reserve league with a few indie clubs who think this league will help em grow. Chattanooga FC are really the only ones I see with any type of success on the field

[@MasonMsotsos]

Zzzz

[@sunrae3971]

A new closed shop mostly for "independent" 😂 MLS second teams. MLS NEXT Pro more likley MLS Kindergarten.

[@Add10101]

Ew that flag in the back lol

I am an Indian and football is my love..🤍so I am so happy to see what MLS doing in USA
