Alright before you lot (i.e european, english, scouse, whatever) start coming in this thread to make a mockery of this league and myself just know that I already know all things you will try to tell me about this league. I know how poor the quality is and how its a 3rd rate league, so don' t bother with that.
I just wanna say that I started watching football 3 years ago after my cousin who is a die hard liverpool fan taught me about this game. So i started watching the EPL and the MLS first because i grew fond of Liverpool F.C. and now absolutely love them and second becuse I am from teh D.C. area and wanted to support my local team D.C. United.
So i started watching the MLS a few years ago and it was tough. The football, well lets call it soccer because it didn't deserve the title of football, was atrocious. The frequent loss of possession the lack of talent and technical ability and basically poor tactis was very tough to watch but it happens in the summer and there is nothing else to watch so i stuck with it.
This year the league has started up again and i have watched more games as better players like claudio lopez and beckham and gallardo have entered the league. I must say that i didn't expect such a rapid improvement in football quality in this league. I was watching the galaxy the other night in their home opener and was actually impressed by the way they moved the ball around and kept possession while actually asking questions of the defense. Also United with a growing latin and southern American contigent as also imporved their football remarkably as they move the ball around quite well and they constantly ask questions of the defense and they generally have good movement and quality on the ball.
So i wanted to ask the Americans on these boards about what they think about the league now and which team, if any, they support.
Me - D.C. United. We have great fans as well. I hope we get a new stadium because transferring those 20000 people into a stadium where they fill it up would make the atmosphere tremedous, am really impressed my the level of commitment shown by the fans.
