When New York City FC were announced as an MLS expansion side in May, they became the 20th team in a constantly growing league. From that point on, the question switched to which team would become the 21st team.

At the present moment, there are several cities where expansion talks are high. Orlando City SC has made it clear it wants to be in MLS, and that dream may become a reality should it land a stadium.

Further south in the Sunshine State, Simon Evans of Reuters reports that Miami is where David Beckham wants to locate his MLS expansion franchise. Being the savvy businessman he is, when Beckham entered MLS and signed with the LA Galaxy in 2007, he made sure there was a clause in his contract that if he chose to start an MLS expansion side, the expansion fee would be highly reduced.

So Beckham will start a franchise, and it seems Miami is the place where he will do so.

However, beyond the buzz in the southeast corner of the United States, there are several cities that would be fantastic locations for MLS expansion franchises that are rarely talked about. (These are also prime candidates for places to relocate Chivas USA, wink wink.)

So here are the top three cities for an MLS expansion franchise that you won't hear about, in no particular order.
