Why an MLS expansion announcement isn't likely when league execs meet this week
MLS' leadership will meet this week in Florida
ST. LOUIS - Major League Soccer's leadership will meet this week in Florida during the league’s All-Star Game festivities, but St. Louis fans should not anticipate news then about an expansion team coming to the city.
The MLS board of governors, which consists of two representatives from each of league's 27 teams and is responsible for selecting expansion markets, will meet Wednesday in Orlando. While expansion may be discussed by the board, an MLS spokesman said the league is not planning to announce new teams during the All-Star Game events.

In partnership with MLS, Orlando City SC, the U.S. Soccer Foundation and Target, two new mini-soccer pitches were unveiled on Monday at Neptune Middle School in Kissimmee as part of the MLS Works and Target All-Star Community Day on Monday.

UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Cosmos owner Rocco B. Commisso intends to have his team continue to play next year, although he doesn’t know exactly in which league it will compete.
Speaking after the Cosmos’ 2-0 win over ASC San Diego in the National Premier Soccer league semifinals Saturday night, Commisso said that could be determined by the lawsuit he and the North American Soccer League has filed against the U.S. Soccer Federation.

Developer closes on land assemblage for big resi complex near Miami’s Overtown
Buyer plans to build a 437-unit resi project with ground floor retail
The Spring Garden neighborhood is just southwest of Overtown, where David Beckham and his investors once planned to build their Major League Soccer stadium.
After land prices in the area hit historic highs in recent years, outpacing the residential and commercial rents that can be drawn there, development has been slow to take off in Overtown.
While Beckham and his partners later decided on the city-owned Melreese golf course property for the stadium, the group still plans to develop the Overtown land, partner Jorge Mas told the Miami Herald earlier this year.

Garber defends pace of MLS expansion reveals
ORLANDO - MLS commissioner Don Garber told ESPN FC "it's not remotely alarming" to him that that expansion deals for the cities of St. Louis and Sacramento haven't been finalized.
Following an MLS Board of Governors meeting back in April, the league authorized Garber to advance into exclusive discussions with St. Louis and Sacramento with an eye towards those two cities being the 28th and 29th teams. Garber said at the time that he hoped to have the deals finalized by Wednesday's MLS All-Star Game.
