I did a fun little experiment for #MLS fans, breaking down the league into five divisions to strengthen local rivalries, ease travel burden, and reshape the league into a more localized entity ⤵️

Still not sure what Manchester City have to do with a European competition final being played out by the 15th and 16th placed teams in the Premier League
Is there a point to these random screenshots?
