MLS Eyes World Cup Excitement Through Cup Competition

MLS aims to capitalize on the World Cup excitement by creating 'games of consequence' during the regular season and playoffs, according to new Commissioner Larry Berg.

New MLS Commissioner Larry Berg wants to bring the excitement of the World Cup to domestic competition, favoring 'jeopardy' over promotion and relegation. Berg believes knockout-style games can create the drama and emotion that captivated millions during the recent World Cup.

While rejecting the concept of promotion and relegation, Berg emphasized the need for 'games of consequence' that generate the same passion as the tournament's knockout stage. The commissioner referenced the World Cup's atmosphere and supporter culture as models for what he wants to create in MLS. saltysenoritaaz.com
