Now, MLS, as many of you know, is the top men's professional soccer league in the United States and Canada.
but also maybe many of you don't know that, which I suppose is why a team like the Seattle Sounders have decided to convert a commercial shipping container barge into a welcoming space where people can watch World Cup matches.
So you're on a boat, a really big boat.
Now, you want to set the scene, just describe it a little bit for me?
And on that gigantic screen and through those speakers is Uruguay versus Cape Verde.
It's, in fact, Cape Verde's first ever World Cup.
Now, even if you've never watched a soccer match in your life, this whole scene, it is part of one of the most fascinating real-time business case studies you are going to find.
Because Major League Soccer, MLS, is facing what we here at Planet Money have come to call a real big problem-tunity situation.
The problem part of this is that in most countries, soccer is the number one sport.
It's not really even a competition.
But in the U.S., it is so far from being most people's favorite sport to watch.
And even if it is your favorite sport, like, is MLS your favorite version of soccer that you love to watch?
But...
The opportunity right now is that Major League Soccer has the World Cup in town.
It's happening.
And the U.S.
is one of the hosts.
And that seems like a once-in-a-generation chance if all these MLS teams can somehow find a way to capture all of this World Cup attention for their local MLS clubs.
We got a Cape Verde goal.
They are up 1-0 on Uruguay.
