Major League Soccer has begun.
matched
MLS launched with no shortage of dramatic proclamations at that first broadcast.
matched
Welcome to soccer, baby.
matched
It's since that MLS has done a lot of obvious things to grow the sport and compete with the other major professional sports leagues here in the United States.
matched
I mean, the league itself has grown a lot.
matched
They've gone from 10 teams back in 96.
matched
They now have 30, which is the same number as baseball and basketball.
matched
And they've also gone from just actually a few dozen games on TV each season to now, of course, every game is televised.
matched
And so everybody's talking about this World Cup here in 2026 as another opportunity for that kind of transformation.
matched
But
matched
It seemed to me that these sort of relatively obvious things that MLS could do to try to bring itself on the same level as the other big sports leagues, those are already done.
matched
It's already on TV.
matched
They already have 30 teams.
matched
And so my question was what do they do now?
matched
This is Brian Bilello.
matched
He is the president of the MLS team in the Boston area.
matched
They're called the New England Revolution.
matched
And the team is owned by the Kraft family, who also own the New England Patriots.
matched
Yeah, so you should know that the New England Stadium has a bunch of photos on the wall in the office area of famous events that have been held at their stadium.
matched
And so Brian remembers on one of his first days on his job, he noticed that one of those photos was from the 1994 World Cup.
