The MLS is still a retirement home for European club players...

...but the MLS is going to get better before it gets worse.

It's a feeder league of young talent and last stop for stars.

Aka, the same thing as every league in the world not name La Liga, EPL or Serie A.

Henry has the tools to be a force for a few years still. He's more himself than Beckham, Ljungberg and Blanco were/are.

I went to the Galaxy @ Revolutions game on Saturday. The World Cup has spoiled me... still a good time. I'll probably get season tickets for next year.

If St. Louis ever got a team, I would be a season ticket holder for life. If we don't make it as the 20th team, it looks like a long decade until MLS expands again...I guess I'll have to be happy with D-2 soccer at Soccer Park (ugh).

I would follow a StL club, too. No doubt about it.

I'm going to a Sounders game next month. I want to like them and I think going to a game will seal the deal.

In Seattle? They play in the Seahawks stadium which is really nice. They lead the league in attendance. I think the Portland/Seattle rivalry should be good. Two former NASL squads.

A question I asked before, though. Is the MLS expanding too quickly?
