"Our best showing in the United States in some time," stated director of Television ratings for Major League Soccer, Dawn Hendrickson. "We really gave Dragon Ball Z and the midnight version of Sportscenter everything it could handle from a cable ratings perspective."

With soccer television in the United States growing, executives with MLS state that they expect to compete with Top Rank Boxing and LIVE PD: 82 LIVE PD on A&E, soon.

"Our plan is a 10 year plan for the grandest spectacle in North American soccer to overtake regular season noon college basketball among the 25 to 54 male demographic in the distant future," stated Hendrickson.

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as TV ratings continue to impress.
