Major League Soccer

I wish we got more coverage of argentine and brazilian fitba!

 

Was it as bad as the LA v New England Game?

 

Argentine games are usually on Veetle, I watch it pretty frequently to keep up with it... miss the place desperately. If you want I can let you know when some of the bigger games are on if I get a link. Brazilian games are a bit trickier to watch.

 

Yeah I would appreciate that.

I can get the streams no bother really. But sometimes it would be good to be able to watch them on tv.

 

Diegan - You a fan of any American soccer team?

 

Not really, I just enjoy watching the league in general, always try to catch a game if it's on and give a +1 to the ratings. I pay attention to the teams that have national team and youth national team players. This makes my relationship with LA really weird, as I like Donovan but absolutely detest all sport teams from Los Angeles. And growing up playing the game in SoCal I also know a few guys in the league, so I keep an eye out for them.

 

Yeah you're not gonna get any luck regarding the TV. You normally have to have a special satellite TV package to get the channels it comes on. South American leagues haven't really developed an international plan when it comes to their TV rights.

 

There was me thinking all Cali boys were Surfers! Still the women do right? Don't take that away from me man

 

I see. that's a pity.

But then there used to be highlights shows for the games that showed the goals and talked about the big stories etc... but theres none of that now.

 

Couldn't tell you, never saw that game. I would be a very frustrated fan if I really pulled for an American team. At least Celtic can put together a few passes without giving the ball away.

 

Haha, there's more than enough time for both. Actually some of the best days are just a 12-hour outing to the beach with surf and a little pickup game in the sand. And the women surfers aren't the ones you want to hang out with... it tends to develop your upper body and quads a lot.

 

I'm a Celtic man but was just seeing if any other Americans had in interest. I more pity the NER. Since I support every other Boston team maybe as well buy the odd jersey or go to a game when I can't come over to Scotland.

 

To be fair the NER are like the * child of MLS. Probably the worst-run club in the league, shame they have such a great manager.

 

Awww man! Remember that movie * girl surfer movie? Blue Crush. Those girls were well fit but not that muscular. Nothing wrong with a girl being toned but if I am picturing what you are then no thanks

 

It's not surprising when our AM football and other teams do well. With the superbowl success and the Red Sox winning the series. No need for MA to focus on "soccer".

 

Argentine league and Mexican one are around the same level in fact, Brazilian one is definitely one step above... I can see Celtic & Rangers being stronger than most teams in those 3 leagues but teams like Cruz Azul, Monterrey, America, Tigres, Pumas UNAM, Estudiantes LP, Boca Juniors, River Plate, Independiente, Velez, Cruzeiro, Sao Paolo, Corinthians, etc... giving them a hard time.

 

Corinthians and Sao Paolo are huge

As are River and Boca. Think they've got decent squads

 

River/Boca actually aren't that great right now.

 

it will not be long though, until they assemble a squad. they've access to the best kids in argentina and s.a.

 

MLS

Im sure there is an MLS thread, but i cant find it in the first 8 pages of World Football, after multiple Buds...so i'll post this anyway.

Did anyone watch the San Jose Earthquakes V LA Galaxy?What a game that was.4-3 to the Earthquakes, but it could have been anything.I dont think ive seen such an open fast paced end to end game in a long time.Great viewing........and "Becks" spat the dummy oot at the end!!!!
