lol, i loved the video because they did that part where they compared premier league teams to nfl teams - especially the dallas cowboys - and it's pretty accurate. and the actor is jason sudeikis, he's a pretty decent comedian/actor, i like him.

florida does have orlando city, but miami is about three and a half hours away from orlando - at the very least; i'd say the location differences would be the same as newcastle to manchester. so they're kinda separate of their own. orlando has their own NBA team, as does miami - so i would see why it would make sense for them to want to open an expansion team in miami when lots of people support the dolphins & heat. like i said - here in the us, people are fiercely patriotic but they're also very attached to representing their "city" or region, so to speak. so miami and orlando are def not close enough to overlap that territory, a 3 hr drive on a regular basis to see a florida mls team is really excruciating - especially when traffic is horrendous & public transporation is really lacking here in the us.

and california has two mls teams, as do texas & now new york too. let me tell you that the california clasico is a real thing and the rivalry between the san jose earthquakes & la galaxy is INTENSE. not as intense as la's town rivalry between their college football teams of usc and ucla, but the "clasico" here in cali is a big friggin' deal. not sure about texas and ny, but i can see it happening. the game between san jose and la definitely bring out the fans who, like said, really love to represent their city.

california fans go hard for their teams during these rivalries. even though seattle and portland are in different states, their rivalry is really insane as well. seattle fans have always been the loudest of the mls bunch so we're catching up when it comes to having multiple teams. los angeles is getting their expansion team with LA FC and i know lots of people are excited about the potential for that to become a crazy rivalry & scene for southern california.
