Ill watch English league before MLS any day, but I do watch MLS from time to time and I noticed that IT IS NOT what it used to be.

Crappy play and ten fans in the stands is a thing of the past. Soccer in the US is growing. Could we have a discussion forum for it?

Yes, that seems like a good idea, S.Gerrard_Fan. How about a "World Leagues" subforum to include MLS?

Sounds good to me! And I can perhaps find a link for MLS avatars. Not that I would ever change my LFC one, but you know...

Do you think the growth of football over there will increase now that Beckham is there?
I guess the increase that you mention has been over time not since Beckham went over there, but will that help it?

It has helped in its own way, yes, but not just because he came. Having one of the most popular and well known players on a league that has very very very few well knowns is a good thing for MLS. It didn't help that he got hurt on his eighth game, and almost his first (for those who were watching closely ).

But anyways, I remember watching MLS and teams like Chicago Fire and New York had a countable number of fans, all grouped up near centerfield. Now you get packed houses no matter who is playing. That is good to see. It is definitely coming back!
