[...] has a partnership with MLS, which has been less about high-profile friendlies and more about meetings off the field to share best business practices. That’s interesting, because at the heart of it their business structures are quite distinct, [...]

Could any of this be in relation to this year’s MLS All Star game? Maybe we will see a German team play here?

From a fundemental level, the Bundesliga is a well structured league with a consistent standing as one of the top five football leagues in the world. MLS can only benefit by playing friendly matches against German opposition, discussing better buisness practices, and possibly opening up a window for young German based loanees, out of favour players, and aging stars to improve the quality of our own league.It will definateley give us a springboard for stitching some of the Bundesliga’s many positive qualities into MLS. Who knows? Maybe German coaches will start to flood into the American game at all levels to improve it.

spaz is having a spaz attack. the united nations is an international organization of which the united states is a member.

MLS and Bundesliga is a great partnership. It seems that the 2010 MLS All-Star location in Houston suggests a Mexican opponent, but watch for a German side to make a trip across the Atlantic.

A dream match for me personally would involve my two favourites, TORONTO FC Vs. BAYERN MUNCHEN! BMO FEILD! I don’t think it would be as hyped as TFC-Real Madrid, but I would love to see that.

The United States needs to immediately get out of the United Nations, and MLS needs to stop supporting UN projects. People, do some research, pls. The UN is COMMUNIST!

Let’s hope that they can establish a successful and long-term partnership that is beneficial for both leagues.

Fingers crossed a lot of good things come out of it.

So far the MLS/Bundesliga link did not have a big effect (at least publicly).

the Bundesliga is well run, with modern stadiums, cheap prices, very high attendance and a fairly balanced and competitive league.

Not to forget soccer bible “Kicker” and their highlight show every Saturday on FreeTV coupled with all games shown live on PayTv and the Sunday Lunchtime 2 hour “Doppelpass” talk with journalists, players, coaches, experts, staff, club and league officials.
