Charlie Stillitano, executive chairman of Relevent Sports, joins ESPN FC to discuss the move, then Dan Thomas, Shaka Hislop, Herculez Gomez, Craig Burley and Stewart Robson debate the pros and cons.

Not about the money just died obviously it is
We've done a podcast from a fans point of view on this topic check us out if you're interested
If not enjoy the rest of your day ✌️
this is just bullshit!
Wise to follow the money
They need to nip this in the bud. Craig Burley is talking absolute bollocks
What a joke. Why not go to a country that has an interest in football. Since when did the americans give a shit about football. Its doomed to fail.
This guy just dead wants money
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
It would be great if they take away from Barcelona and Real Madrid home games.
This will hurt MLS.
nah im sorry but no, football is changing and the way i see it its honestly not for the good.its all about MONEY!
i honestly feel sorry for the future generation…greed and "expanding" our league will slowly kill this game
fucking greedy BASTARD!
These people are out here to make the money grab. I speak as an American who would love to see Liverpool play in America. But this effects of this could effect critical results for teams large and small. Just keep pre season in America
Take away the home game from the bigger team and give them the revenue from the match! That way the bigger team still makes their home game revenue, the big team's fans don't get disappointed because there's another 18 home games for them, and the smaller team's fans don't miss out on their only chance to finally watch players like messi!
Wtf ESPN FC, the only one open minded about this idea that can see the bigger picture here is craig. Get a grip lads
Singapore doesnt give a fck about la liga LOL. EPL is KING.
Stilliano looks like he's never seen an entire game of football in his life
Globalization – just change the "real" fans to the "real" populists and this type of debate is the same as immigration for the identity of a country.
"real" fans could exist anywhere is what the guy was saying kind of like how "anyone" could be an American. I do agree globalization takes away a lot of appeal of sports/identity though.
This is making a good brand for soccer people who have even heard of the top leaves around the world liar Real Madrid and never heard of them Barcelona Juventus FC Bayern Munich no one has ever heard of that in the United States that will be good Building Bridges for soccer you will see you were American soccer is really at not Des americains soccer you will see what it top leaves around the world or at
European Lee's coming to the United States is going to be wonderful for the MLS for the USL for the npsl all day is going to be wonderful coming here not everybody knows who Messi Ronaldo Luis Suarez his
