Scottish, Irish, and Welsh club sides in MLS


Recommended Posts

Scottish, Welsh, and Irish Sides Join Major League Soccer.

How about Glasgow Celtic, Glasgow Rangers, Motherwell, Aberdeen, Heart of Midlothian, St Mirren, Hibernian, Dundee, Dundee United join the North American Major League Soccer?

Football is growing in the USA and Canada, so Glasgow Celtic, Glasgow Rangers, Aberdeen, Motherwell, Hearts, Hibs, Dundee United, and Dundee could bring history and support to the MLS. The MLS could be the biggest league in the World, so the 8 biggest Scottish sides could benefit from playing in the North American soccer leagues.  While also adding lore, history, and passion to the Major League Soccer brand.

Also perhaps clubs from Wales, like Wrexham, Newport County, Cardiff City, and Swansea City could join the Major League Soccer.

Perhaps Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland could enter clubs from Dublin and Belfast in Major League Soccer?

Maybe even Cornwall, Brittany and the Isle of Man could enter sides in a Celtic conference?

Perhaps the Celtic nations could form a Celtic Nations League conference of the MLS? With extra games played against MLS sides from largely Eastern North America. The leading teams would then qualify for the MLS playoffs.

Even Glasgow Celtic and  Glasgiw Rangers on their own could bring benefits to the MLS system. In terms of commercial support, fans and lore.

 

It might be that one day all the major European leagues enter sides in the MLS system. Perhaps clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, Inter Milan, PSG, Sporting Lisbon, B Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Anderlecht. Copenhagen, IFK, Porto, and Ajax could end up joining MLS?

Another view I have.

British – Irish – North American Competitive Soccer Club Trophy.

How about cross border trophies between the leading Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish, Republic of Ireland, England, USA, Mexican, and Canadian soccer club sides, separately at male and female soccer?

The football scene in the USA and Canada is growing. And there is a strong historical connection between Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Canada, the USA, and England.

Scotland have some top sides in men’s and women’s football like Glasgow Celtic, Glasgow Rangers, Glasgow City, Aberdeen, Heart of Midlothian, and Hibernian. So maybe Scottish sides could play American women's or men's club sides in a competitive trophy.

 Ireland has a strong cultural connection to the USA and Canada.

 And Wales has some strong teams also. Maybe the Welsh sides in the English leagues could take part also.

 Plus England has one of the strongest leagues in the World.

 There are many, many, cross border trophies that could happen at male and female football between the teams from the British and Irish Isles and North America.

 The Scottish would bring fans, passion and massive passionate support. While would be able to grow commercially in a big market.

 The Scottish leading sides like Celtic and Rangers would see the USA as a dream come true. 

The leading MLS and NWSL sides would benefit from playing big teams from the British and Irish Isles.

There could be various trophies such as

 1)           A Scottish – USA Women’s Cup. The winner of the Scottish Women’s Premier and NWSL play a match to claim the dual title of Scotland and the USA.

2)           A Scottish – MLS American Cup. With the winners of the Scottish Premiership and MLS in a one off or two leg tie. This could be even bigger with 4 Scottish Premier sides playing all or 4 of the MLS sides in North America in a Scottish MLS Cup.

3)           An Anglo – American Cup. A men’s version could be the champions of the EPL v the champions of the MLS. Or at women’s level, the champions of the NWSL versus the champions of the English Super League. It could even have in the men’s game teams from the lower divisions.

4)           A British – Irish – North American Men’s Cup. Played between the champions of Scotland, Wales, the League of Ireland, Northern Ireland, England, Mexico, the MLS. Or it could be even more teams from Scotland (maybe all top tier sides), and the MLS. As Scotland and the MLS could afford that.

5)           A British – Irish – North American Women’s Cup. Played between the champions of Scotland, Wales, the League of Ireland, Northern Ireland, England, Mexico, the NWSL. Or it could be even more teams from Scotland (maybe up to 4 top tier sides) and the NWSL. As Scotland, Mexico, and the NWSL could afford that.

6)           A Scottish – USA – Canada – Mexico Cup – Played between the leading sides of Canada, Scotland, Mexico, and the USA.

 7)           A Celtic – American Men’s Cup. Played between multiple Scottish and MLS sides (including the champions), plus the champions of Wales, Northern Ireland, and the League of Ireland. This could be played in the USA or Canada. As the Celtic nations have strong links to the USA and Canada. 

8)           A Celtic – American Women’s Cup. Played between multiple Scottish Premier and NWSL sides (including the champions),plus the champions of Wales, Northern Ireland, and the League of Ireland. This could be played in the USA or Canada. As the Celtic nations have strong links to the USA and Canada. 

9)           The Irish - Scottish - USA Male Cup. Played between the leading top tier sides of Scotland, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and all MLS sides.

 10)         The Irish - Scottish - USA Women’s Cup. Played between the champions of Ireland, Scotland and the NWSL.

Merci.
