Paris, London, Madrid ... Vancouver?
With no lack of eminent soccer cities across the globe that boast powerhouse clubs, it's no simple task trying to win over high-profile players in the sport, let alone in North America for MLS' mid-to-small markets in the United States and Canada.
Looking across the league, there's a clear advantage for metro areas like Miami, New York and Los Angeles when it comes to enlisting luminaries like Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry and David Beckham. In the past and the future, teams from those major regions will have no trouble convincing marquee stars to don their jerseys.
