I am writing from Toronto, where last night the MLS All-Stars defeated West Ham United 3-2 in the All-Star Game at a sold-out BMO Field. The match was terrific and the atmosphere was incredibly electric, all In front of a national ESPN audience and a global news media corps. The entire experience, which included many activities throughout the city, delivered everything Major League Soccer has been marching toward over the past several years. Everyone is leaving Toronto today with the same impression – Major League Soccer lives up to its name in every regard.

A very big thank you to Glen Seibold, KTVI FOX 2 producer (and Collinsville resident), for letting me "Sound Off" on last night's news about bringing MLS soccer to St. Louis. |

On Thursday night in New York City, the Sports Business Journal held its inaugural Sports Business Awards ceremony. The nomination, review, and selection process was a year in the making — and the winners were kept top-secret, with even the editorial committee not knowing who would take home the Tiffany trophies at the end of the night. |

As reported recently in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, I’ve formally resigned from my duties at SimmonsCooper law firm to devote 100 percent of my time to soccer and bringing Major League Soccer to our community. On a personal level, this is a really exciting time in my career. For years, growing soccer in St. Louis has been a hobby of sorts – something I pursued while also balancing my full-time job as a lawyer, not to mention my full-time job as a husband and dad. |

Once again, my blogging has fallen by the wayside as we work diligently behind-the-scenes to secure an MLS franchise for St. Louis. As usual, activity has far from ceased. Rather, our quest for an MLS team continues to gain momentum and we expect that we will have big news to share with you soon. |

Congrats To Philly – And We're Next |

February 29, 2008 by Jeff Cooper
Major League Soccer on Thursday introduced Philadelphia as the league’s 16th and newest team, to begin play in 2010. And today, I am probably more confident in our chances to bring MLS soccer to St. Louis, in a new stadium in Collinsville, as I have ever been.
Before I explain, let me first congratulate Philadelphia. Like St.
Louis, the Philadelphia metro area has a strong soccer tradition and an
avid, built-in fan base that in no time will make that franchise one of
the premier operations in the league. Further, the Philadelphia bid
was very impressive, and to that end I commend Jay Sugarman, Nick
Sakiewicz, James Nevels, William Doran and everyone involved in the
Philly effort.
