Explaining what American soccer has to do differently is not “bashing American soccer”

The best soccer player in the world is shorter than most Deadspin commenters. Stop.

I really hope that even the most ardent MLS apologists start to see that there are deeper issues here. I love the domestic game - I hate when a writer I otherwise agree with like Haisley tells me not to watch MLS, and hell my team is in a league “lower” than MLS - but jesus, Klinsmann is not the problem. He’s a shitty…

Yeah

Blaming him for the infrastructure MLS and the USSF put in place way before he got here, tbqh

Yep, it was Shane. He’s facing the Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match at Mania on Sunday.

No, they are NYCFC fans, so they deserve what they get.

Get the fuck over yourself. The only reason the (farm) team plays in Yankee Stadium is because MLS had to force a second New York team before the 2015 TV deal (and because really evil people gave them money to do so), and if you use any public transit in NYC on a daily basis then getting to Red Bull Arena is nowhere…

If you want me to feel sorry for a fanbase, try not picking the worst one in an entire sport.

Both Atlanta and San Antonio represented the weakest ownership situations in the league - particularly Atlanta considering they didn’t even have an owner - Rayo OKC is a definite mistake but they are putting together a surprisingly decent squad, Miami FC has MP & Silva backing it and is going to benefit from 3 (!)…

You’d prolly enjoy it a lot

It also varies from team to team. I’d give the 2011 Los Angeles Galaxy half a chance to make 17th in the Prem, but the 2013 D.C. United team would struggle to reach midtable in League Two. Hell, there was a time when RBNY would’ve had the best attack in the Championship but the worst defense.

“There’s a new NASL that is already blowing up the same way and they suck from a competitive standpoint”

No, the MLS season runs from early March to late October.

Nothing delusional about building one of the best teams in North America without MLS’s bullshit restrictions

Man City USA fans are the absolute scum of the Earth

How do you take the best team in the league and simply say “Don’t care”?

Fuck MLS. Support NASL.

Damn that’s even worse

Oh, Greg, no...
