MLS Seeks World Cup Excitement Through Open Cup

MLS commissioner Larry Berg wants to build on the momentum generated by the co-hosted World Cup, using America's domestic cup competitions as a starting point. While Berg doesn't support promotion and relegation, he is keen on creating "jeopardy" during the regular season and playoffs.

The new commissioner referenced the excitement of the World Cup's knockout stage, calling them "games of consequence." Berg believes elements of this drama can be incorporated into MLS to enhance the sport's appeal across North America, drawing from the passion and supporter culture showcased during the tournament. blablasex.es
