Our new MLS team is going gangbusters, in part because of better value. - psilotum Apr 21, 10:12 9
- now if only they could play decent soccer... -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 10:21 8
  - (and I mean the MLS as a whole, not just any particular team) - znufrii Apr 21, 10:22 7
    - they're actually not even close to being as bad as they were, however, I have a very hard time watching it. It's a struggle -- nm - CQ Apr 21, 10:24 6
      - I think a big part of it is the fact that MLS doesn't have the retention power to hold onto talent. Anyone decents jumps ship for Europe. - znufrii Apr 21, 10:28 5
        
        to be fair, this happens everywhere. Even in the EPL, the bottom teams or even teams in the bottom leagues lose the best players to the top teams - CQ Apr 21, 10:32 2
        
        which is why I found Kaka-gate so funny. - Reagen Apr 21, 10:33 1
        
        It's silly. People here think Baseball is unfair? No revenue sharing! Nothing is equal! wah wah wah. Look at soccer leagues in Europe. It's disgusting -- nm - CQ Apr 21, 10:35
        
        and MLS spenda all their money of David Beckham. -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 10:29 1
        
        who was worth it and then some. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 10:30
I was watching some news on FSC and then a game started. Funny thing, they're were people in the stands. -- nm - CQ Apr 21, 10:12 1
- er, There. *smacks head* -- nm - CQ Apr 21, 10:13
One thing you can't take from the sport though, MLS is actually strenghtening itself during this downturn, which can't be said for most other leagues. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 10:12 4
- True, but that's also a men's league. I hate to state the obvious, but there's a huge difference between the genders and sports interest. - Will Hunting Apr 21, 10:14 3
  - I don't disagree on the differences. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 21, 10:23 2
    - I find that women's sport can be more enjoyable because there is more playmaking and less ball/puck/etc hogging - zork Apr 21, 10:26 1
