- 5.4 million homes tuned into the Univision broadcast of US-Mexico in the Gold Cup final. The
5-0 Mexican win was the Nielsen ratings winner in its time slot in many markets. The top 5 markets
in terms of ratings were:
1- Los Angeles
2- New York
3- Miami
4- Houston
5- Dallas
Considering the Mexican-American population in the New York and Miami markets is minimal,

match after all) reinforce my belief that MLS would be wise to ignore attendance and bring a second
team to New York and return to the Miami market.

in store for the much hyped, but little regarded (at least in Colombia) forward. Montero's
solution: whine and go to ground easily.
As part of our continuing commitment to bring you the best interviews on the internet related to

Another week of professional football in the US complete as this season begins to solidify

The biggest storyline of the week were the late comebacks by two of MLS' traditional best
franchises, the Chicago Fire and DC United. The Fire stunned a national TV audience and a season
high crowd at Crew Stadium with two late goals to salvage a 2-2 draw while United scored twice late
at Giants Stadium to defeat rival New York.
