I went to an MLS game a couple of months ago and yeah it is pretty pedestrian next to other world soccer.

yup, its probably no better than a third tier league, but most teams are closer to a fourth tier.

id rank the world leagues...

EPL, La Liga, Serie A

Bundesliga and other top euro leagues, plus the argentine and brazilian leagues.

lower euro leagues (like eastern euro countries) and mexican league.

i dont think most MLS teams are in any of those 3 tiers.

I find MLS unwatchable... I'd rather watch the womens national team.

Great win for Everton! Maybe they challenge for a Champions League bid this year?

Don't forget, Champions League tomorrow and Wednesday!

SPL is about as relevant as MLS.

I dont know - I'd really have to be hard up for some futbol....

Even the mans national team, they are some players that are just hard to watch.

Landon is practically the only one thats worth a dam.

A bad missed offsides call lets Chelsea get a win. The Blues played very well in the first third and last third of the game, but got outplayed in the middle third portion by Reading. Hazard has already earned his paycheck for the season. He is a dynamic player. Chelsea have the potential to be a potent offense. They just need to gel together to perfect the final touches and shots in the opponents box.

Call wasn't as terrible as broadcast made it out to be. He was offsides by a split second.

Chelsea is likely still adding in the 9 days til transfer window closes. Cav, Victor Moses, Hulk, Schurlle all possibilities.

Hazard is a dynamic young player ... as is Oscar. Bright future for that pair in Chelsea blue.

Torres has been an issue so he may well transfer out by next year.
