MLS expansion: Stand by your phones, Cincinnati supporters

Don’t phone in Cincinnati for MLS expansion just yet. But the MLS Board of Governors had encouraging if oblique, words for the Ohio city’s bid to join Major League Soccer ahead of fellow finalists Detroit and Sacramento.

They explained that they made no MLS expansion vote yet. But the Board of Governors found the Cincinnati City Council’s commitment to a West End stadium as a positive step in their expansion bid.

In a media release, they said discussions continue with all three finalists, including Detroit and Sacramento. One of them will host the 26th MLS team.
