The Márquez Question: Why It’s Important for MLS Teams to Bring in Latinamerican Players.
When I arrived at soccer practice to find my coach, a Columbian, wearing a light blue Tampa Bay Mutiny jersey, I was surprised. Here was a man who couldn't care less about MLS, especially one of its teams which no longer exists. Yet, it all made sense after he gave me this explanation.
"They had that Columbian dude"
(The Columbian dude in question is, of course, Carlos Valderamma) Living in the New York area and
seeing the tens of thousands of spectators at international friendlies between Latinamerican teams
is a constant reminder of the fanbase MLS is missing out on.
