CONCACAF Champions League: This Could Be Biggest Moment In MLS History - Daily Soccer Fix
MLS is only 16 years old, so it shouldn't come as a huge surprise that the league lacks many legitimately "huge" moments. There was the first-ever game, of course, but after that it's hard to point to anytime when the league honestly drew the attention of the casual sports fan. The Daily Soccer Fix, Steve Davis' soccer blog, points out that by winning Wednesday's CONCACAF Champions League final Real Salt Lake would earn a chance to play in the FIFA World Cup and really create one of those national stages:
It will add to awareness, in the States and abroad. It will make news this winter, at a time when MLS is making news only to the real soccer die-hards. In the preceding months, it will make RSL a bigger brand and a bigger draw around 17 other MLS markets. No, RSL won’t sell out the grounds the way Beckham-over-America did in 2007. But it will make a few more fans come out to get a gander at the regional champs, and that’s a good thing.
