    You're joking right?
    I feel sad saying this but your words are the definition of a "Eurosnob" as fans in America prefer to call people like that.
    C'mon. It was a decent goal. Better goals are scored in the Premiership every season and I've seen similar and better goals in the MLS since it's inception.
    Give McGeady his credit but no need to bring MLS into the conversation and try to insult the league.

    Expect the MSN (Messi, Neymar, Suarez) to play together at the Gamper, should be awesome.

    Yep. I'm excited. I just want to see Messi and Sanchez hug it out after a goal.

    Sorry to hurt your feelings but the MLS is rubbish.

    The Thibaut Courtois era begins today for Chelsea. Cech is on the bench.

    Yeah I tried watching MLS but its just terrible to watch knowing there is a better league out there.

    It's like Euroleague vs. NBA.

    It is not Rubbish at all, just not as good as the top leagues, like EPL, Budesliga, and La Liga - but it is in the next tier below that, IMO.

    And getting better.

    MLS is at least 4 tiers away from top class. That is evident by the fact they can't even win in the CONCACAF Champion's League.

    Do the MLS teams put their first teams out there for this tournament? If not, I wonder how much of this is due to teams not always putting their first team out for these games? Random, half-baked idea, but if MLS would give the teams competing in the CCL an extra point in the MLS standings for a result, that might make those teams compete harder in the tourney (ducks to avoid the coming onslaught from longer-tenured fĂștbol fans!). I know MLS wants the teams to do well, but GMs/coaches might want to save their bullets so to speak.

    I believe Dom has kept some of his first unit guys out in previous tournaments focusing more on getting the Dynamo into the MLS playoffs than advancing in the CCL. Could be wrong on that though.

    This coming from someone who picked his favorite team the way many women do when filling out NCAA basketball brackets. You liked their jerseys. Would you have linked with Man City 10 years ago when they were toiling back and forth between the Championship and EPL? Nope, you're the ultimate bandwagoner who now apparently knows all about the game. lol.

    You've played exactly how many hours of it beyond rec leagues when you were a little kid? That doesn't include hours on xbox playing FIFA.

    Sensitive much?

    Its an opinion, if you don't like it then **** yourself.

    The MLS is garbage compared to the mighty European Leagues. Didn't realize I had to have a background middling around as a wannabe professional player in order to come to that conclusion.

    Cesc Fabregas was absolutely fantastic today. Looks to be the best signing of the summer.

    Yeah, Chelsea looked pretty top notch. Fabregas showed plenty of creativity today.

    Speaking of sensitive...

    For me...not at all. Just get a laugh every time I see a post with your "expert opinion" from literally months of experience.

    My soccer knowledge is probably upper echelon already and I have only been following for 3 years.

    You call me a bandwagoner because I don't cheer for your ****head teams. I don't give a ****. I'm not Yung-T I don't need constant validation from bigger brehs.

    Sorry it took me about 10 minutes to realize what some of you American homers refuse to acknowledge, and some of the others here won't admit even though they know it to be true.

    MLS is a rubbish league and will be for many more years. Deal with it.
