DeAndre Yedlin, one of the starts of the United States Men’s National Team and one of the highest-profile American players currently in the game of soccer, didn’t hold back his feelings when talking about Major League Soccer in an interview with ESPN.

According to the 26-year-old right back, the culture of relegation and promotion would go a long way to boosting the competitiveness of Major League Soccer and the American version of the game as a whole.

Yedlin, who is currently in his fifth season in the Premier League and in his fourth season with Newcastle United, stated “There’s a different energy to when you win/lose a game in MLS to when you win or lose here. It’s that feeling that here, every game matters.”

In England, the bottom three clubs in the Premier League standings are relegated to the second-tier Championship every season, with three teams from that league receiving promotion to the Premier League.

In the United States, teams that pay a franchise fee to play in the MLS are guaranteed a spot in that league, the top one in American soccer, every season regardless of performance.

The Seattle native went on to say, ” If that got introduced, the league would be much more competitive. Something needs to be done to take the league more seriously, and I think that would be good.”

DeAndre Yedlin was added to the United States Men’s national team roster for upcoming friendly internationals against Ireland and France.

The Newcastle United defender was added to the squad along with midfielder Tyler Adams and striker Bobby Wood while Christian Pulisic, as well as Walker Zimmerman, Alex Bono, Ethan Hovarth, Matt Olosunde, Alejandro Guido and Lynden Gooch were all dropped, as coach Dave Sarachan looks to experiment with different combinations and players.

The US are currently trying different styles and combinations as they prepare for the 2022 World Cup cycle. They suffered heartbreak late last year as they failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since the 1986 event.

The Americans first play against Ireland in Dublin on Saturday. The Irish also did not qualify for the World Cup.

They then face a tough test on June 9th as they play against France. France is one of the pre-tournament favorites to win the World Cup in Russia and their players will be looking to impress during the game.
