MLS vent

Yesterday some friends and I drove to Houston for a Dynamo game. We dressed up in fan gear and watched some of the worst soccer I have ever witnessed. It was slow, lazy and without any hint of urgency or aggressiveness.
Shots on goal:
Houston 1
Columbus 2 (btw, the Crew are #1 in the east)
Final score: 0-0
As a lifelong US soccer fan, the MLS has been good for developing the sport here but I left the stadium thinking that this kind of performance is what keeps soccer from really growing in our country.

Yeah but would you rather US Soccer change the rules a bit for a more enjoyable game, but furthur themselves backward from the International competition?
Just like the NBA vs International Ball. Took our guys a while to figure out.

I watched that game and in no way was it a fair representation of what MLS has to offer.

Bingo MLS used to have a bunch of quirky Americanized rules in order to appeal to the masses. However it backfired and many of the soccer purists became disenfranchised with the league.

Might have had something to do with it.

No league in any sport is exempt from the occassional boring game.

MLS penalty kicks > regular penalty kicks

How do they work?

In the old days, the player would get the ball near midfield and it was a breakaway. Like the NHL shootout.
