    I totally agree, if you want to ignore it, go right ahead, but trashing it is just lazy. It's getting better, its starting to turn the corner on becoming what it should, the step many players from all of the americas take to get to Europe. That should be the goal. It should become the proving grounds for European teams to get further developed talents from US, Canada, the Caribbean, Central America AND South America.

      You should also factor in trolling. I root for the Timbers and so I watch MLS. But you guys are so sensitive it is irresistible to pull your tails.

      As far as whether it's a quality product, compared to what? Compared to all other soccer available to us in the states, it's amazing. Compared to EPL, Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga, it's not as good.

      I'm talking about the top halves of all these leagues. The bottom halves are all bad; even EPL.

        I would be a little less sensitive about the “trolling” if it wasn’t being done, intentional or unwittingly, at the behest of those who are trying to destroy MLS and USSoccer for their own financial gain.

          Who dat?

          I'm honestly unaware that anyone is deliberately undermining MLS for profit. What's their angle?

            “Journalists” like the folks at World Soccer Talk, whose founder and operator have admitted that they wish for MLS to fail so more folks watch EPL and the like so they get more attention. They also readily post misleading information on MLS TV ratings as a way of helping this narrative. Ol’ Billy boy at Deadspin was a similar operator.

            The #ProRel4USA folks are operating for clubs and owners that are looking to get a piece of the growing money pie without any of the investment. Why pay $150 million (that most of them don’t have) on an expansion fee when a few million on legal fees could achieve the same thing?

            And speaking of lawsuits, the one running most of them, including the USWNT players? Jeffrey Kessler, who really doesn’t give a s- about soccer and more about attacking NFL owners (which would be fine if he wasn’t unintentionally harming something I enjoy).

                Considering how much their tripe gets blasted over r/MLS and Twitter, it does.

                    I’d imagine CONCACAF will be none too happy if Mexico beats Canada tonight, because that means one of the USWNT or Canada will not qualify for the Olympics.

                    There’s probably less than a 5% chance of that happening, but Mexico has pulled upsets before.

                      Interesting. I'd have thought that everybody who watched MLS also watched EPL because they just love soccer.

                        I'm surprised we've reached that critical juncture so early in the process.

                        Edit: never mind, Olympics not World Cup. I was gonna say, I thought the WC was fixed at 1,024 teams now so semi-independent Amazon tribes and Afghani warlords were sending their own teams.

                            I imagine plenty are like me, watch MLS and follow news but also watch EPL and the like but couldn’t care less about the goings on.
