I do know a bit about Major League Soccer, not loads though... Jens' Face if you want to do this you can.


The 2008 season started in late March. But im gonna copy and paste the info from wikipedia as i can't be bothered to type it up:




Season runs from March 29, 2008 to a championship match played November 23, 2008.


14 teams split into two 7 team conferences: Each team plays 30 games, evenly divided among home and away matches. Each team will play every other team twice, home and away, for a total of 26 games. The remaining 4 games will played against regional rivals (two of these games at home and two away).


At season's end, the top three teams of each conference will make the playoffs; in addition, the next two highest point totals, regardless of conference, will also be in the playoffs. In the first round of this knockout tournament, aggregate goals over two matches determine the winners; the Conference Championships are one match each, with the winner of each conference advancing to MLS Cup. In all rounds, draws will be broken with 2 15-minute periods of extra time, followed by penalty kicks if necessary. The away goals rule is not used.


The team with the best record in the 30 game regular season wins the MLS Supporters' Shield and qualifies for the next CONCACAF Champions' League. The MLS Cup Champion also qualifies for the CONCACAF Champions' League. The MLS Cup runner-up and Supporters' Shield runner-up also qualify for the CONCACAF Champions' League.



During the season, MLS teams based in the U.S. may compete in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (I believe that is a cup where MLS teams play amateur American teams)

During the season, Toronto will participate in the Canada Cup of Soccer.

All MLS teams may also compete in select international tournaments, and various exhibitions.

SuperLiga, an MLS-FMF (Mexico) club competition, will also make up the 2008 season schedule, with most matches occurring midweek in July and August.

The four MLS teams with the best regular season records in 2008 will qualify for 2009 SuperLiga.
