MLS Fan Central

The juice: The MLS is looking into changing its senior/youth international designation rules. The new rule would allow teams to sign seven total international players, regardless of age. (It used to be four old and seven young.)

The judge: I've always found this to be a funny rule. Anything that references young and old players shouldn't really be a rule anyway, and I'm glad the league did away with the designation requirements. This should give teams a little more freedom to scout international players. This should also boost how the rest of the world perceives the MLS, as the EPL is doing the opposite: further restricting international players coming in.
