Anybody into MLS soccer?

Yes, we call it soccer here in the U.S. I work at Qwest field where the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders FC play. Was wondering if anybody follows MLS on here? If so, who is your team?

You got yourself a Toronto FC fan here! Yes, I said fan, not fanatic. Now, I hear the Vancouver Whitecaps are due to join up with MLS next season. (2011) Go Toronto!!!!

I dont really follow it because international soccer is better.. but mls i gotta go withh the galaxy ashame the players couldnt get on the other side of those beautiful crosses by david beckham

^ Yeah, I'll give you that. International Football is better, no doubt about that. But, at least MLS gives us something on TV to watch besides hockey (NHL).

Football is the world's game. People eat, sleep, dream it. Here in the U.S. it has not caught on. It failed in the 1970's. It may fail now. But it is a great sport. I played it growing up. I like NFL football much more, but soccer (aka football) is not bad at alll.

no mls is terrible imo. i follow the mexican primera division, english premier league, la liga (spain), and some italian league and international football of course (world cups etc) the mexican league is my passion though

I relaize its your opinion, and I want to know the reason behind it. Why is MLS terrible? Its not the best, we know that, but it certainly isn't the worst either.

I don't follow it, but I've watched a few games here and there.

I've seen a few entertaining games. They really don't show much of the games on TV and when it is on, its hardly ever advertised.

But thats how FIFA works as well with the aggregate goals. I like the ties, actually. At least the game is over and there is no penalty kicks or Extra Time to worry about.

The reason aggregate goals are in place is because home field is a huge advantage, so if the away team scores they are given an extra goal in hand, Stamford Bridge is a good example of an intimidating stadium.. imagine 60k people right up next to the field telling you that you suck and you are bad.. it's pretty overwhelming.

I'm not sure here but do NFL games play home and away against teams ? Or is it just random which stadium they are at? Because while you may not think it doesn't affect players it does.. imagine 30 people shouting behind you while you are playing a video game or something.

MLS is OK, but it just doesn't have the intensity of gameplay that I find in the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, or UEFA Chamions League gameplay. Watching Manchester United is exciting because the team is dynamic. (OMG, Man U owned ACM yesterday in Champions League. My poor rossoneri.....) Watching AC Milan is exciting because players like Ronaldinho have great control and pull off amazing WTF circus shots. I just don't find that in the MLS. I can't get excited about FC Dallas, DC United, etc.

Just started rooting for the LA Galaxy recently. Of course the quality of this league could be better, but Soccer has to get alot more popular in the US (and Canada as well) for that to happen.

I just keep track of the home team: Toronto FC, otherwise, I don't really follow it.
