How'd that work out? Seriously I am laughing. Been an Earthquakes fan since 1974 back in NASL days. MLS becoming MLB. All the big designated players go to Miami or LA. Look at the Miami roster and LA teams with Giroux, Zlatan, Bale, etc. How come no one will go to San Jose, or Charlotte, or Salt Lake City, or Austin, etc etc etc. Built this fake team in Miami and it failed. MLS just took a huge beat down on marketing. How about Apple TV today? LMAO!! At least Miami made the club World Cup next summer and the potentially final (never ever will it happen) with Miami vs Real Madrid in South Beach. Next season is Messi's last. A lot of tired old legs there too. Alba whining the playoff format. Aint a one and done or aggregate in 2 games like UCL. You know that going in when you took the money. You had 3 chances, not two 2 like Europe. More opportunities against Atlanta. IMO I think it over for Miami. Suarez, Alba, Busquets, Messi, hell maybe Neymar next year...older than the 1973 Redskins. Big stars but they signed, but guess what. Soccer teams build from the back. You start with defense and goaltending. If you don't have that, you are doomed. 49 goals allowed. Those stars were probably not tracking back a lot. Same next year too. No money for that. It was a risk, but the promiseland won't be reached. You are the Brooklyn Nets, LA Clippers, Phoenix Suns. Super teams that failed.
