junc found one minuscule factoid about a game that was up against a hugely important SEC championship game, which would determine who played for the BCS National Championship.
MLS moved the game to that slot b/c it didn't want to go up against the NFL. if soccer was gaining as quickly as you think they wouldn't have seen ratings decrease for their title game from ratinngs that sucked the previous year when they weren't against the SEC title game.
Upper West is money, right? That ain't Liverpool, Liverpool is a shitty dock town. Also Chelsea and the Financial District makes little sense, Arsenal or Spurs would be a better connection. Chelsea is West End, which is old school money. Hull isn't Harlem. Hull is more Jersey City or Newark. Think rundown fishing city with absolutely nothing to recommend it. The kind of place you live because you have no alternative. Hull is a horrible town. Harlem is perhaps better suited to Aston Villa.
Aren't the Yankees the single most valuable sports franchise in the world? (That may be wrong, but I seem to remember reading it somewhere.)
It was probably in the world according to the Yankees... where they also list themselves as having the worlds most championships. Both points are false and not going to change anytime soon. http://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbad...d-tops-the-worlds-most-valuable-sports-teams/
those soccer championships are like winning a division in MLB or winning the WC. They have a chance for multiple championships a year. I love how it bugs bitter Met fans.
No they don't. There is one championship for each league. They can win multiple tournaments. No different then the UNC basketball team winning the ACC tourney and National Championship.
If the Heels win the ACC Tourney it is not considered a Nat'l Championship. In what sport can you win multiple championships a year? an AL pennant is technically a championship but those don't count toward overall championships but in soccer they can win multiple a year but this is the same sport that decides the WC on a shootout which would be like Game 7 of the WS ending after 12 innings and the teams starting a HR hitting contest to see who wins:rofl2:
They're different competitions with different formats - each national federation has a league, and at least one knockout competition. Then there are international competitions for the best teams from each country which increasingly are a mix of league and knockout formats. They aren't multiple championships.
