(Francisco Seco/Associated Press)Two weeks ago, we looked back at the year in American soccer. Stadium watch: Minnesota United will open the 16th MLS stadium designed, first and foremost, for soccer when 19,400-seat Allianz Field in St. Paul debuts April 13. And the season has been tightened, leaving the MLS Cup on Nov. 10 instead of in early December. The women’s league has been a smash hit in Portland and showed good signs in Salt Lake City’s inaugural year. A strong World Cup performance by the U.S. national team, which has a roster full of NWSL players, would provide a boost.
