1. I would say follow a club over a league. Having an invested interest in outcomes makes matches 10x more exciting (least it does for me). Go to a match, experience the atmosphere and realize what makes the sport special all over the world. 2. Level of play is improving and honestly outside a dozen or so league around the world MLS is very respectable. As someone who has watched Japanese, Australian, Danish, Scottish, and Bolivian matches at times it is fine to me vast majority of the matches. 3. The biggest thing I champion about MLS over other leagues people compare it to (speificially Europe) is that at the start of a season in MLS half of the clubs have legitimate hopes of lifting silver ware, compared to 2-4 in big European leagues. This makes it far more engaging to me as through the year who will can shift. Right now Dallas has a great start, but maybe they slip up and Seattle or Los Angeles retakes position or Toronto makes a big move or someone else surprises us. Of course I cannot convince you and appreciate you being nice about not being a fan. |
1. amen
2. the level of play isnt that bad, sure they dont play like CL, but well not even all Clubs that qualify for CL play like CL.
3. the MLS is completly love and meaningless, thats the problem. the league system has big flaws. there is nothing like 10k people start crying out loud because your team lost the last game and has to play liga 2 next year(or liga 3...)
