The league where all the best soccer teams play from all over Europe, where futbol' is the main sport. I try to catch these games as often as possible. Today i caught most of Real' Madrid(Spain) vs Lyon(France), and its not over yet, but its 3 - 0, Real' Madrid. Im personally a Manchester United(England) guy, because of Javier Hernandez. I'll put it plain and simple, Champions League games are like watching MLS on steroids. I think theyre better than World Cup games.

Ya, they are higher scoring than MLS, but MLS is still cool and my preference. :)

the problem i see with the MLS, is that it needs,.........more flavor, also the goal scorers that are produced, want to go to europe to get paid, and MLS wants to keep em, but dont wanna pay.

That should change though because as soccer grows more popular in the United States, the revenue should go up too providing the money needed eventually.

MLS was just established too late to be able to keep players despite lower salaries. Had they started up before the big European leagues, it wouldn't be an issue.

Soocer was invented over there, so that would be an impossibility, Ive developed this theory. Basketball, Football, Baseball, invented by America, were the best at em(league wise). Soccer not invented by us, were not the best. America has had too much sports on its plate to appreciate what started it all.

Partially incorrect.

Baseball was invented in either Britain or ancient Egypt according to the MLB's new Official Historian.

And one of the first professional soccer leagues was in the US, it was owned by the NL.

Damn these games were good today! I didnt know wich one to watch, they were goin on at the same time. In the first leg of the Quarter-finals FC Schalke04(Germany) beat FC Inter Milan(Italy) 5-2, in Italy! Epic game, and result. In the other match of the day Real Madrid (Spain) beat Tottenham Hotspur(England) 4-0. This was the game i caught. Tottenham's striker Crouch got red carded early on, and the slaughter ensued. Inter Milan was the story of the day though, losing at home. Tomorrow two more games. Manchester United at Chelsea, both English clubs, the other game FC Barcelona(Spain) vs FC Shakhtar(Ukraine). Should be two very good quality games, and im not missing the Manchester United game. These are the best games in the world
