So apparently there was a game here tonight. Had no idea.
But of course, Eurosnobs are using their tired speech: if the All-Stars win then obviously it doesn't matter because it's a friendly and not the entire starting XI. If the All-Stars lose it obviously proves MLS is a retirement league.
I'm a eurosnob, I guess , and I enjoyed the game. I prefer to use the "tired speech" go All-stars, F#@* Bayern munich. I hate Bayern.
Question...if eurosnobs are people who like watching European leagues, what are people that will only watch MLS purely out of principal? Soccer patriots?
Wait, so "liking" to watch European soccer makes one a "euro snob"? That seems a bit restrictive and insulting. What about those that like it all because its a great game?
Also - there was a great article on ESPN (http://www.espnfc.us/concacaf-champ...ampions-league-pivotal-to-major-league-soccer) that makes a strong point - that if MLS is TRULY making advancements (as I believe it is) then it must be reflected through improved performances in the concacaf champions league or we risk the hype over-reaching the quality. I thunk there is some truth to that - though I believe there is no one litmus test to measure the growth, quality, and respect for MLS - perhaps other than the passion of the fans.
Wow. Landon to retire at the end of 2014 season...
It's a sad day but if he's not as passionate anymore then it's time.I'm somewhat surprised that he is retiring from club soccer.
International I can understand.

Eurosnobs are not those who simply like to watch European soccer. They are those who shun the domestic game and do everything they can to bash it. The worst are those who live in MLS cities and still won't watch and instead support a team they will likely never see live and have absolutely no ties to the location.
Watching Chicago v. NY...in Spanish.
I wish it weren't so difficult to be an MLS fan.
Let me start by saying you are not a Eurosnob... you are exactly the type of fan we want to attract en masse. You seem open to the idea but what consistent results. Give it time... this league is on track to become huge by the time MLS 3.0 is in full swing (i.e. 2022, the projected date to get the league to 24 teams.)I don't do everything I can to bash MLS, but otherwise I'm guilty as charged. I'll watch the occasional Dynamo game, but the production value of the Comcast Sports Net telecast is lower than NBC's. It's local, but it's still a minor league. Finding a game is kind of tricky; I never know when they're on or what channel, and when I find out, it's often at an inconvenient time. But I do hope the MLS gets bigger and better.
It's not. MLS Live. $60 at the beginning of the season.
I'm watching CHIvNY and VANvSKC in English.
Definition of a Eurosnob: he who states a game between two relegation bound clubs like West Ham and Sunderland was awesome and "great" soccer and continues in the same sentence to crap all over MLS even though they haven't watched an MLS game this decade.

damn. One other key aspect of defining eurosnobbery.
2. He who refers to any european club in the possessive sense even if the subject has never been to a home match in the city let alone been on the european continent. An example... We (referring to man city) totally crushed arsenal today 6-3.
You sir, are a d-bag.

My opinion is has nothing to do with people on an Internet forum.
Having been very involved in the game for the past 30 years, I've had personal conversations with more people than I can count that qualify them for d-bag status. I've supported the LA Galaxy since day 1. I was at the first match at the arose Bowl in 96 and been to hundreds since. I've played with, against and met many of the Galaxy players from the late 90's. I still don't refer to the Galaxy as we.
I just can't stand the guy who in a conversation crushes MLS yet hasn't watched a game in years and then says "oh we won a great game this morning". My response, oh yeah, Sunday League? who do you play for? Oh I don't play, I support [insert popular Euro Club here]. It's just obnoxious.
Whatever, we're gonna disagree on this...

I'm really sorry that your 30 years of soccer has been riddled with d-bags.
It's just a friendly thread derailment we can get back to talking about all football.
It was more of an annoying circle jerk....
Depends on who you talk to
