Yesterday the MLS Commissioner came to town to announce that our city has been selected for an expansion team, which will start playing in 2022. The ownership group is female-led (the first in the league), and contains several women from the Taylor family that controls the Enterprise car rental company.
Much more needs to be revealed, but I'm excited by the announcement. My boys all played soccer in elementary school (and some of them continued on into high school). When they started I didn't know the first thing about the game, but over the years I grew to understand and love it. I've been to MLS games in Kansas City and Chicago and they've been a lot of fun. Now I won't have to go on a road trip to see a game.

No doubt their players will be in the World Cup Games soon.

I would hope so :-)
DeleteGreat news, and my language is changing.
ReplyDeleteThat should read 'and my, how language is changing'
DeleteThings keep getting more informal, don't they?
DeleteThis is awesome for you guys! Congrats. Charlotte felt it was in the running, but honestly we're just not ready yet.
ReplyDeleteWe've been trying for a long time.
DeleteSoccer is hugely popular in Portland with the Timbers and the Thorns. Thorns are so named because Portland is known as the Rose City. Get it? Roses have Thorns. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI like it!
DeleteLiving in KC now and looking forward to going to a game here at some point. Glad my home town is getting back into futbol!
ReplyDeleteWow! It's good to hear from you. Living in KC would make it easier to get back to St. Louis.
DeleteWomens soccer is one of the few sports I can really enjoy. Glad to see the sport is growing.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
