I hope Miami gets one too Neil.
It is a mixed bag here about MLS. The Hispanic majority in M-D county are delighted because they think they'll get an MLS super team that will rival Man U, Barca, etc because of Beckham. I doubt this. I see more a team like TFC or Portland that will struggle for several years until it finds it's footing. Since the people in Miami only want the best this could cause big problems with attendance.
Plus, there is an established team in Ft Lauderdale that has a fanbase that, basically, does not want Mr Beckham's team here at all. They have their team and really don't need another one. Add to that the fact that ClaurBecks has done zero to appeal to these people. All they ever talk about are the residents in M-D county, even though those good people have never, ever supported local, domestic, USA soccer. They'll turn out by the tens of thousands for an event at Sunlife Stadium, but have ignored anything that looks "American" to them in any form.
I consider MLS in M-D to be a gamble. It they push the right buttons they'll do well. If not, they'll die. Which is fine with me. Every team from M-D that has wanted to survive has moved north. Hopefully, the Ft Lauderdale Strikers will have survived long enough to take over another failure from the south if that should happen.
We'll see how this plays out. IMvhO the best way would be for both teams to survive and prosper. That actually doubles our fun. Sadly, most of us think the the tri-county will only support one team. That is not good.
