Top Ten Things MLS should change.

1

Expand Rosters Rosters should include one back up per position, at least in a numbers sense.  With 4 Roster exempts per team that makes a roster of 20.
2 More TV More TV coverage is always a good thing, even good things.  fans that tune in will see great atmosphere and come to the game.
3 Numbers Stop letting players wear stupid numbers.  Rosters should be 1-25.
4 Stadiums Well, duh.  Every MLS team needs it's own place to play.
5 Playoffs Playoffs should be best of three. Period.  None of this points crap.
6 Stupid Names Make sure next round of expansion has classic names, not silly marketing style names.
7 Houston MLS should expand to Houston.  Biggest market without a team and an outstanding soccer community, both in suburban and Hispanic
8 ESPN Commentators Stop rehashing the same boring guys.  There is some real talent on MLS games now, don't be afraid to use it.
9 Scouting MLS clubs need scouting/player/personnel departments.  Using assistant coaches just doesn't cut it.
10 Ref Time It's not necessary to announce to the crowd that the Referee keeps the time.  We all know the referee keeps time.

Suggestions for future lists or things left off the lists can be sent to lists.

Wow, this one got people going.

1 NO overtime  Dose ANY other country have this?? 
(Is this going away next
season?) 
I have no idea.
2 Better Referees -  Man, some of these guys really (and I mean really) suck!!
wow, 2 for 2 on the refs.
3 Fans should sing songs at games Alan have you ever sat with the Inferno?
4 Fans should sing "rude" songs about opponents  (especially Chicago & LA!!)
see above
5 Get the local TV stations to include soccer in their daily/nightly sports presentations!!! Fans should write and call their local TV stations and complain.  The more calls they get the more they will show highlights.
