So which cities will land the 4 expansion teams in MLS later this year? I'm

hearing the frontrunners might be Nashville, Cincinnati, Detroit, and Sacramento, but there are lots of other cities in the running, including Phoenix, San Diego, and St. Louis (which at one point was apparently the frontrunner). Does anyone here have any insights into who will win?

Is MLS still pretending that the charade that is Beckham's team in Miami is still alive?

I think they have officially been granted a franchise already, no? They start

No. You're thinking LAFC.

You're right, i guess it's not quite final yet, although it sounds like everyone

Pretending, yes.

I think this is where that list of four came from:

Boise, Helena, Evanston, and glens falls

At first I thought this was serious, until I read Evanston.

St. Louis and Phoenix should get teams. Then stop there.

9/20/17 8:05pm

Cincy will get one. Their USL team outdraws the MLS team in Ohio right now.

No way. Soccer in Phoenix in August is insanity. And StL has lost all steam.

Calgary and/or Edmonton

Too small. I think we've seen our last Canadian team in MLS.

3+ million between the 2 cities

Sac and Fresno should get a team.

San Antonio is working hard for a team

Forgot about that one. SA, Cincy, Sac, and St Louis would be my 4.

Nashville, Cincy, Sacto are 3 of the 4 IMO.

What is your best guess on #4?

chilango

No idea. I think Cincy and Sacto are next, then Nashville and #4 the year after.
