Speaking on the BBC’s World Football Phone In, MLS analyst Sean Wheelock indicated that the league is seriously considering shifting its schedule to an Apertura/Clausura format much like the leagues in Argentina and Mexico for 2009. The feeling is that Major League Soccer is attracting more and more international footballers who are part of their national team setup.
