id rather watch mls than no soccer at all

First i couldn't be bothered to read through all those pages, i'm too tired.

I think everyone hates the U.S (soccer related) cause i mean any country would be glad to get them in a match in the World Cup, they would be noted as a team not to fear going into a match, teams would fret more of a useless team like Ireland (we rule!) but they haven't really proved themselves to be honest.

And the MLS, well in ireland in anyway there is no coverage at all unless David Beckham has something to do with it, which is rare.

I wouldn#t know, but i'm gonna guess that it isn't as interesting as say the English Premier League or La Liga, is it just one team or what?

I love soccer, i'm a huge fan and i can only name one team in that league and thats cause of obvious reasons but thats just me....

See!!! This guy has it!!!

MLS has more parity in it than almost any other league in the world. Any team can beat another any given day. Of course, some have more pedigree than others (DC United, Houston Dynamo), but due to a rediculous salary cap, and weird league-owned player contracts, no particular team is that far ahead of the others. Even though New England has lead the league for the better part of this year, they still lose to lower-ranked teams now and then.

Compare that to the Prem, which has 4 teams (really only 2) that are contenders every year, but the quality of soccer/futbol is much higher. That's one of the reasons I'm a Bundesliga fan as well; always more than one team that's in it every year.

Lying on a message-board makes no sense; which is why I didn't.

I think you're a homosexual, but I wouldn't just come out and say it like that, right?

 

MLS fans---- support your teams.
The leagues of Europe are very talented and exciting to watch, but I couldn't care less about who wins or loses over there.

Europeans will be harshly critical of anything American, forever and ever.

Americans,  avoid these threads unless you want to argue in a complete circle.

Go Dynamo!!!!!!!!!!

MonkRug what a waste of everyones time you are. stop starting arguments, being homophobic and childish and seriously grow up.

How about you contribute something worthwhile to this thread, or bow out.

I'm an MLS supporter and I don't stay awake at night worrying about what other dinks from dinkish countries think about our soccer league.

I think you do care otherwise you would not have posted several replies. Also, I think its fair to say that you want to the league to be successful and respected.

Btw Im on your side 8 )

As a Scottish football fan, the MLS has never been all that appealing to me but in recent years more and more players from the UK and Europe are plying their trade in the MLS and it is becoming a competitive league with a lot of good players.  I can hold my hands up now and admit the SPL is a terrible league with only 2 teams that challenge for the league each year.  At least with the MLS it's more random and therefore more interesting. 

I'm sure people from both Europe and the Americas would agree that the standard in say La Liga and the English Prem is second to none.  Its totally obvious. The major money and major tournaments are based in Europe and that is not a dig at the USA, it's just football or soccer originated in europe and has been played here alot longer than in America.

People who attack the MLS are just losers. What exactly do you gain by slagging off a football league from another country?  Is it really a matter of life and death what football team you support and which league they play in?

I honestly do not; my concern is that the league is able to grow, profit and put out a good product night after night which will allow them to put themselves in the market to acquire decent talent from other leagues around the world.

Are we ever gonna be in the running for a C. Ronaldo in his prime? Probably not, but the league has done well in the last 3 ot 4 years getting good players from Central and South American leagues, which is really MLS' ace in the hole, it's ability to attract players from crumbling leagues in South America and Mexico, like Blanco. As stated, we've already sen an influx of good players from Argentina.

Folks from England may laugh about this, but Darren Huckerby from Norwich City has done very well in San Jose and is quickly become a fan favorite.

Don't worry about the English.  The majority of them think they are superior to everyone anyway! not just in football but in everything and theres no way of ever stopping that so the rest of the world need to learn to just ignore them.

Huckerby has always been a useful wee player and tbh didnt even know thats where he was playing these days. 

Got a few guys doing well over in the MLS.  As well as Beckham you have Huckerby, Kenny Duechar at Salt Lake and Maurice Johnston I think is a manager over there for someone.  On top of that Paulo Wnachope, who played years in the English Prem brings alot into the game.

These are guys who know the game and are well experienced and that can only be a good thing for the game over there.

"Trader Mo" Johnston is the General Manager in Toronto, and man, that guy likes transfers! The team we started with last year, is now almost completely different. Kind of sad he let go of Maurice Edu (gone to Rangers) so quickly, but whatever. That's MLS for you.

You have to allow the young guys to go overseas and play in the big leagues in order for them to grow their game; it's a bummer to see them go but U.S Soccer will be better because of it.

It was also sad to see Adu, Altidore, McBride, Dempsey, Howard, Bocanegra and Onyewu go, but it's for the better in the long run.

It's great to see McBride back in the MLS though.

I couldn't agree more.

I saw LA Galaxy play Chicago Fire the other morning. And it's not a bad standard of football to be fair. Certain players were given too much time on the ball though, and were allowed to run at the opposition.

Personally I've come to realise that as an audience the US fans want to see really high scoring matches in their sports and really close matches. But that can't be said about football, a 0 - 0 draw can be better to watch than a 6 - 0 game.

Most people like to see a passing game, rather than a direct long ball approach or where players are just driving the ball goalwards at every oportunity!

I think the general public in the US were expecting too much of David Beckham, because he ain't going to score many goals. He'll put a good cross into the box, and if the striker is in a good position there is every chance they could score, but he is a Kobe Bryant who's going to get 30pts a game.

Then sooner the US public accept that, then the more likely they are to accept football as a sport. (I realise that there are Americans who do enjoy football, and I'm sure you agree, but surely you can tell there is gap in quality between the North American leagues, and those in Europe).

Having an opinion on MLS, either positive or negative, is awesome, but that point about goals is non-informed stereotype on American soccer. I work in soccer media, and every year MLS gives some of the best set-piece goals around. Sure, maybe the passing isn't so great, but guys like D-Ro and Blanco put in crackers every week.

Quit talking trash and generalizing. This thread has gone on wayyy to long, with guys with no lives just coming on here to rain on our parade, and try to make fans of domestic soccer feel bad about ourselves, for some reason.

I'm also a fan of Candian football, AHL hockey, and minor league baseball. Are you guys gonna put down those levels of play in North America, too?

blanco is the only good player in mls...the chicago fire would be nothing without him...ive seen him score some of the best goals that the mls has seen haha

Man, this thread has to end. I'm really getting tired of listening to people who think they know what they're talking about.

I'm also really sick of you euro-snobs. Get over yourselves, already.

Ha, Eurosnobs, all we hear on thes forums is how America is so much better than anyone else at everthing.

I agree that America is a great country, but you need to realise that There are certain things that America are lagging behind in. Unfortunately, the most popular and most loved sport on the planet is one of them.
