@angel Thanks for that. If I could just see one MLS team play possession football for just one half, I'd take it. As it is, I am a Chivas USA season ticket holder and I really want to give the tickets back and get my money from Preki personally. That's how bad of a coach he is. The Galaxy is a mess. What were they thinking putting the Galaxy game before the Euro2008 final?

@terry I tend to agree that there are many Euros that think MLS sucks, but I personally don't like when people make generalizations about any group, so I try not to make them myself. It may be true that the vast majority of them think it sucks, but I doubt that is true for each and every one of them. The ones that think it is at least "acceptable" are likely a very small and less vocal minority. MLS isn't top flight, and many of us that follow it understand that, but it isn't as crappy as some people want to make it out to be.

I'd be a liar to say I'm heart broken to see Gullit leave... but Alexi Lalas as well?

"...a league that is considered to be subpar by SOME European analysts"? Actually, I don't think there is ONE European analyst who doesn't think that.
