i dont watch MLS cuz its corny. all the singing and chanting is a rip off of euro shyt. then they name teams "Real Salt Lake" wtf..
i watch the uefa tourney and other world cup type of shyt but MLS and the mexican soccer shyt is all trash.
It makes MLS come across as really knockoff. I know its second tier athletes worldwide but then be DIFFERENT.

If you think soccer is boring and american football is more exciting, you're a fool. You get 1 hour of playtime with 3 hours of the same advertisements vs Soccer which is two 45 min halves of no commercials with a 20 min halftime.

Soccer has formations and strategy in place but plays are made on the spot with player creativity. Not with some book that is read before the game telling people where to run. It is truly an art and if you don't appreciate the sport you lose.

nah, football is more exciting. You might enjoy soccer more, but its not exciting

this is more exciting than anything in soccer

I like watching soccer, started really getting into it a few world cups ago and I used to support my homegirl who played in college by going to her games. But I don't enjoy watching euro soccer since I have no attachment to the team and MLS seems too contrived and really doesn't have a strong cultural foundation. I honestly don't think us now will truly appreciate soccer en masse, but these kids who are in it now and who are trying to get better and aiming to make America more competitive (on the men's side), will see it pick up in popularity down the line, hopefully gaining some stronger cultural roots with American audiences.

Soccer is an acquired taste. It seems boring at first but once you start understanding the tactics of the game, you'll be hooked. Teams play so many different formations; 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-1-2, etc. Teams that play the short passing game are the most fun to watch.
