Poll - Where should MLS expand next?
In his 'State of the League' address, MLS Commissioner Don Garber listed the cities the league is currently considering for expansion teams. They are, in alphabetical order, Atlanta, Cleveland, Las Vegas, Miami, Milwaukee, New York (a second team), Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, Seattle, St. Louis and Vancouver.
He reminded everyone that they plan to be at 16 teams by 2010, so two of these cities will get teams. So what two cities should it be?
Should MLS find a home in the south with Atlanta, create an Ohio rivalry in Cleveland, go for sin in Vegas, make a return to Florida in Miami, give Milwaukee something good for all the beer they've given us, start an East coast intra-city rumble with a second New York club, give the city of brotherly love some love of their own, go for the dry heat of Phoenix, enter in the Northwest with Portland or Seattle, give California a fourth team in San Diego, find a way to get into one of the oldest soccer towns in the US with St. Louis or plant another flag north of the border in Vancouver?
Go ahead and vote for up to two teams below and let the world know where you think MLS should stand.

Orlando!
Hi. I'm a portuguese soccer/football fan and an avid Benfica supporter. If you want to learn some more about our great club as well as of portuguese league and european football in general please, feel free to visit us at World Wide Benfica.
I lived in the Greater Philly area from 1977-1989 and even attended Fury games. Unless the then entrenched virulent soccerbashing media (Ch.6/Tolefson leading) has changed, MLS expansion in that rathole IMHO would be a wasted effort. You won't find a less soccerfriendly town outside of the South anywhere in the country.
what about detroit??? HUGE soccer community in one of the larger markets in the country.
