What is kind of cool about mls is that there is a more noticeable talent ago between the good players and the average guys. The designated players are usually pretty good, while the joke schmie random defensive back might be making $60k for the season and is a step better than a rec league player. So the skills that make the good players stand out are a bit more noticeable than when you watch Uefa games and every player out there is awesome.
If you are just getting into soccer, it's kind if cool to see how certain skills start to stand out, and appreciate what makes the good guys better than the scrubs. You don't get to see that as much in the high level games. Sort of like watching college sports where the future pros can really distinguish themselves from the rest.
Also, right now is when the uefa stuff is really getting good. You should TiVo some of the games this week. Probably worthy if it's own thread.
But mls is running a different schedule, coincides with baseball. So it becomes an option for the summer, and the playoffs are going just as the euro leagues are starting up. That's a huge drawing point for me.
