dpak3000 doesn't mind I can answer this, well MLS is based upon the same system as the NBA, MLB, NFL, and NHL. Basically any American sport that is viewed by any American.
The MLS is split down in the half to the Eastern and Western conference.
The Eastern Conference consists of:
- Chicago Fire
- Columbus Crew
- DC United
- Kansas City Wizards
- New York Red Bulls
- New England Revolution
- Toronto FC.
The Western Conference consists of:
The Eastern Conference consists of:
- Chivas USA
- Colorado Rapids
- FC Dallas
- Houston Dynamo
- Los Angeles Galaxy
- Real Salt Lake
- San Jose Earthquakes
Originally San Jose Earthquakes used to be in the MLS till it was closed or whatever you want call it. They are the new expansion team of the MLS.
The MLS table is split into three different types. One for just the Eastern Conference and then the second one is just for the Western Conference. The last table is with all of the teams together. It does use a point system the same as the Premier League. There is no percentage in the MLS table.
The only bad thing about the MLS is the salary cap and the amount of teams in the MLS. I hate that it's divided into both the Eastern and Western conference. Yeah. That's the most annoying part of it.
I think David will do fine in the MLS. I think if it weren't for Capello, he would still be in Spain. I did see their first game of the season. He did make a lot of crosses and particularly he didn't really attack on the wing. He stayed very deep throughout the game. He played more like a right back.
That's about it.
