Thanks! I kind of thought France after I posted but I didn’t realize the others. 

Whereas they would have been easily relegated in a European-style pro-rel system,

I like this ranking but I think nothing should have the top spot since Tom Petty wasn’t even Texan. Just leave the spot vacated.

I tend to agree with you generally, but I think even other MLS fans can get behind the fact that Austin FC in particular is a godawful outcome and things like this only make it worse.

My first car. I still miss it.

I wouldn’t rule it out but it would be pretty difficult to get to unless you had someone’s approval to go do it!

I know I say this on pretty much every gaming wiki-related post, but as someone who has always run a non-wiki-based gaming info site, I can’t help but have a little schadenfreude here for those who told me I was a dinosaur.

Congratulations, Billy, you did something that I didn’t think was possible for a fan of an MLS 1.0 team - you made me take the side of Atlanta United on something.

Thank you so much! I could not have seen this post at a better time. :)

This is some sort of in-universe satire, right?

Barca won’t come because they’re afraid of their stalker Billy Haisley.

MLS is neither as bad as Deadspin tries to paint it sometimes nor as good as it wishes it was. I used to watch a lot of English Championship back when Fox Soccer / Fox Soccer Plus were a thing, and I think the talent levels are allllllllllmost there for the top half of the league. Plus it has a bit of extra allure for…

Oh, and additionally to my prior post, I already pay for an additional soccer package - MLS Direct Kick on my DirecTV service. I’m on my third season and love it, as someone who no longer lives where his preferred MLS team plays. Since I also support one of the bigger English teams, I’ll never have to give NBC a dime…

your ears will thank you for no longer subjecting them to anymore Warren Barton commentary.
