    Real Salt Lake is the absolute worst one in my opinion. "Royal" Salt Lake... Really!?

    That may have been the greatest game I've ever been to. And fuck the Euro snobs. MLS is on the rise!

    MLS is probably about as good as the third best league in England. This is really not an insult.. Football (soccer) has essentially no competition from any other sports over there. But I don't see why it matters how good MLS is compared to other leagues, doesn't make the games any less entertaining, that's for sure.

    I thought the names sounded silly too when I started watching. They are slightly less goofy with time.

    False. MLS is better than any league in England other than EPL.

    It's a salary cap exception that allows the league to sign players like Beckham and Stephen Gerard.

    Bump.

    Yay! On to the WCF. Wish Seattle hadn't shit the bed vs Dallas or we'd be in for something very, very special. Oh well. Onward....
