I'm from Brazil and I can tell you that over here most people, being fans or media, usually look upon MLS with sympathy and wish for football to grow in the US. I was very disappointed the USMT didn't make it to the World Cup.

[@oyaml1211]

MLS is getting better, no doubt. What is keeping MLS be really competitive or the best league in the Americas is the salary cap. We are the only league in the Americas that has salary cap in place which limit how much a team can spend. It's good for parity in the MLS but not good when you compete against other leagues that have no such thing in place.

[@henrygraterol]

@@oyaml1211 I think salary caps are good to help keep competition fair throughout all teams. There are small citiies that would not stand a chance if they had to compete against one or two teams with cash to spare. The league needs to grow first before it can relax some of the rules later. I for one wish salaries donxt get on the way of allowing fans yo buy tickets at reasonable prices.

[@marciocoelho2481]

Maybe having the salary cap in place is a good thing at this point. If you look at how the things are in Spain, France, Portugal, Germany... It's basically 2 or 3 teams battling for the title, year after year. Everybody else is merely an extra for they don't have the big money to invest. After a while, it gets boring. That's one of the reasons I watch the MLS instead: it's much more levelled, and anyone can win.

Can anyone explain to me why does atlanta united have a lot of fans?

[@aethyr6776]

I don't know if there really is a definitive answer to why. One reason is because they were winning. It's easy to draw fans when you win. A bit deeper is that Atlanta is something of a sleeper town when it comes to soccer. One thing some people didn't really consider when they were saying MLS wouldn't work in Atlanta was that Atlanta has a fairly significant immigrant population. Having been at many games, it is always awesome to see the diversity at their games. So Atlanta had a good potential basis of support from the start. They hired a coach that brought an attacking style that was fun to watch, even when they lost. For those first 2 years, it was something of a running gag to say "when Atlanta plays, someone is getting blown out. It might be Atlanta, it might be their opponent" because Atlanta tended to keep attacking, even to the point of leaving themselves open at the back. After Tata Martinez left (he was never going to stay more than a couple years, to be honest), we ended up hiring a coach who preferred a more deliberate style, and it hampered the team built for a different style. So things have been a bit more tempered the last couple of seasons. It doesn't hurt that Atlanta's stadium (built for both football and soccer) has a greater potential capacity than most (probably all) soccer-specific stadiums in the country. Even the "normal" capacity for soccer games of roughly 42K is greater than most of them, while for bigger games it can fit roughly 72K. I'm sure this isn't really a complete answer, but I hope it helps.

@@mariopalomino8554 Pity Martínez just won the Libertadores (a much tougher and with better football competition) he is coming to Atlanta, Barros Scellotto is a great coach also, maybe they will bring Benedetto or someone else, Josef deserves to go to Europe with almiron, they are world class

[@jazzx251]

They would walk CCL ... if these players and coach weren't leaving. They are the most exciting team in the whole of the Americas - and they're being disbanded. It's criminal, it really is.

How fitting Darlington Nagbe wins the 2018 MLS Cup against his former team. You can't script that folks!

Mereceram desde o primeiro minuto. Parabéns.

[@rainbowtrouter4201]

I miss the Atlanta team.

[@joshm3779]

I love the coaches’ group hug at the final whistle. You can tell it was long-suffering validation for Martino’s staff.
