What lies ahead?


MLS Cup is here and the game itself should be fantastic. The Borough Boys will be having a viewing at Jack Demseys tonight. Come down and have fun with fellow MLS fans.

There has not been much news from the Cosmos this week but the new owners will be at MLS Cup to meet with Commissioner Garber. We hope to get their identity confirmed as rumors have Seamus O'Brien from World Sport Group as the new chair.

The new owners have made a statement to the fans they have the best of intentions for the future and that includes the highly controversial Gottschee situation. We have stated to the new owners, both through this site and the staff, that we do not doubt their intentions are true, but unfortunately, due to the negative events that have unfolded, we need action before we can be assured.

The fact that Don Garber has spoken positively of the new owners is surely a nice start and we hope for more positive developments from this group. The Cosmos brand has been drug through the mud the past few months, so the new owners do have a tough job ahead of them if they wish to redeem it.

Meanwhile, the MLS announced changes to its schedule for next season  and it discusses how some conference teams will play each other 3 times and then in 2013 the fixtures will reverse (meaning the team that hosts 2 of the 3 in 2012 will go on the road to that rival twice in 2013). I guess that means that they do not expect NYC in the league for 2013. Your thoughts?

Watch the MLS Cup tonight as it should be a great match!
