Espana looked fantastic today.

I've been noticing some sports articles coming out lately about how soccer is gaining popularity. For the game's sake, I hope that's true.

There was a friendly in Baltimore last summer between two Euro clubs. I bet my best friend that M&T Bank Stadium would draw at LEAST 50k fans. Naturally, it sold out. Easiest 6-pack of Sam Adams I've ever won. And of course it tasted better than usual, because it tasted "free".

I'm looking forward to the World Cup. Love it.

Red370 · 06-08-2010, 08:28 PM

Giants stadium sold out last year when Chelsea came to play the MLS all stars, its crazy how popular european teams are here and how unpopular our own league is.

SmoothZ · 06-08-2010, 08:33 PM

I need to start going to the local games and watch our team.

cow · 06-08-2010, 08:36 PM

I wish I had a local team to support.

Red370 · 06-08-2010, 08:41 PM

I think if MLS would stop trying to ride the coattails of the more popular sport leagues here, (NFL, NBA, MLB), and stop attempting to create what they think would be popular among American people and create a league that mirrors the more popular leagues of the world, EPL, Primera, Serie A, the game would gain a strong following here.

1. Cut out that stupid bullshyt playoff system, not one league in the world does this.
2. Eliminate the conferences and create a single table with a point system
3. Eliminate the stupid salary cap and allow teams to actually spend money on big name players
4. Create youth academies to spurn talent at the club level
5. Give more thought to team names, really? FC Dallas? New York Red Bull? what a joke.
6. Stop playing games at rented american football stadiums and build your own park
7. Invite more european teams to play friendlies here on American soil
8. Create lower division leagues for teams to be relegated and promoted to should they not be up to par
9. Oh yeah, ensure each referee is FIFA licensed, MLS is an extremely dangerous league to play in, while this may be good to some, it puts players careers in jeopardy, if there is a foul, make the gawddamn call. I'm sick and tired of watching a foul fest when i'd much rather see more beautiful flowing football.
