At what point do MLS teams need to see better (and positive) cash flow? Maybe I am not up to date on the latest financial numbers, but I thought that the owners have been treating teams almost like an investment in a startup, where the underlying premise of the investment is the potential of large future cash flows, and that potential is what gives those teams such large valuations relative to their net income. But can MLS teams spend like Brazilian teams without having revenues like Brazilian teams? At what point do the decisions makers start saying “MLS is the league of the future, and always will be”?
Having just left the PSG - Sounders match, definitely thought CR7 was the one Sounders player who could play with PSG.

I snoozed this all afternoon because I knew it would be worth reading when I finally go to it. I was right! Thanks for the content.
