So basically we're looking at NYC2, Orlando, and a mystery team.

 

[giaco]

yup.

Garber wants NY2 so much it hurts him, but Orlando has a solid case.

As much as I'd like to see a Fire-Cosmos game, I don't see why we need a 2nd NY team (or LA team for that matter) yet when we have other unexplored markets to try out and a southeast team.

What are the chances the mystery team is st Louis or Indianapolis?

^Not very high.

I think they need to get a team in NY to begin with (ZING).

Chivas could move at any time and no one would bat an eye (San Diego or San Antonio would be a great destination for them)

I don't like the notion of the SouthEast--The league is still too young and fragile to 'test' markets, I think they can bulk up in areas that actually support the game and will strengthen the league, not just plant a flag to say 'look at us, we're here, soccer is here".
