The Supports Shield gives the winner a spot in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. So maybe no one pays attention to it much, but it's still very important to win it. :)
great video! hopefully the future of US Soccer is bright!
Thank you! It can only move forward
I would’ve liked to see more time spent on explaining the different USL leagues and how they operate, you definitely glanced over the USL championship pretty quickly and didn’t quite get the format correct, but so far this is the best video that I’ve seen breaking this down for people.
It's interesting as in England, the top leagues are nationwide (including some Welsh teams) and the further you go down the league system to non-league, it becomes more localised with teams playing within a region against each other. This makes sense to me due to expenses and the fact that you are lower down the level. However, it seems inverted in the US system which sounds mad because 12 teams playing nationwide in a country that's comparable in size to Europe.
Existing alongside the US Soccer Pyramid is the NCAA and the Collegiate Sports system, which produces high quality "amateur" players, with some of the over 200 Men's and over 300 Women's NCAA Division 1 teams probably capable of beating teams in League 2 of the English Football League, if not League 1.
American Football developed around local high schools and colleges, and the rest of American sports adopted the Football model (except Baseball). What the US Soccer Pyramid is attempting to do is build a system from the top down that the rest of world built from the bottom up, while also making it live in harmony with American collegiate sports and it's myth of amateurism, similar to how Baseball was able to make its existing Minor League development system live in harmony with collegiate sports.
7:38 yooo Inter Miami here as well (pre Messi fan)
You find me someone who was looking forward to specifically San Diego FC joining MLS and I’ll sell you my oceanfront property in Arizona.
Wow, I didn't know that the conference champion is decided in the semi-final, I assumed the conference champion is decided when the regular season is over and all teams for the MLS Cup decided. I also though that in the MLS Cup in the round of three, they mix up the conferences.
Yeah the teams face eachother in their respective conference to decide the champion of said conference.
After the conference winners are determined, then they face off against each other for the MLS Championship. It’s just how every American sport is run
no one is "looking forward" to San Diego joining MLS.
I agree with you
The people of San Diego will be happy to have soccer in their home town!😁⚽️
@@soflosoccer they already did, San Diego Loyal SC.
They're looking forward to San Diego FC playing but they are not looking forward to that horrible logo the ownership chose.
@@agoddamndelight3278 yea that’s true. But that club is shutting down due to the new expansion team
4:30 They want D1 status. compete with the nwsl for the first division
But good info !!
The thing about how MLS and all American leagues are structured is they all stem back to past traditions in how we structured early baseball.
Pretty much every American Sports League is, in reality, 2 different leagues (ablbiet with interleague play) so if you imagine the Western and Eastern conferences as separate leagues that each send their champion to fight in the MLS Cup. You might see it as a two League Champions League
Interesting perspective and take! I understand your point on the fact that every American sports league has “two different leagues”. Never thought of it that way. Thank you!
@soflosoccer All conferences were initially a League of their own. The AFL, WHL, and ABA all being absorbed by their rival creating conferences. MLS simply followed suit on the format Americans and Canadians are used to
Ahhh the music. Distracting when u talk
Yeah... to be fair it was one of my first videos. Not the best 😭
But I am improving on my video skills and editing techniques slowly but surely. You should check out my most recent videos, they are a definitely a little better lol
You forgot the USL Championship 😭
4:10
USL > MLS ❤
It will grow to surpass MLS.
Turn off the music. Annoying.
