Berg: World Cup Excitement to Drive MLS

MLS commissioner Larry Berg aims to build on the momentum of the recent World Cup by incorporating jeopardy elements into the league's structure. While not supporting promotion and relegation, Berg believes other methods can create meaningful consequences during the regular season and playoffs.

Referencing the knockout stage games of the World Cup, which Berg calls 'games of consequence,' he emphasizes the passion and drama that captivated millions across North America. The commissioner hopes to replicate this excitement in domestic soccer to grow the sport's popularity in the United States. esporist.com
