And no, he didnt like the MLS much. It is run stupidly and with goofy and unnecessary American twists. But his criticisms were valid and now will unlikely be getting any airing. Thus even less pressure will be on the MLS to reform.

I don't see how he's capable of bringing in new fans. It's not exactly on ESPN or a major sports radio network where general sports fans would just accidentally tune in.
