He must have been misquoted right GhostofJackson?!

WST

quote:

“l’m just going to come out right out and say it: the Primeira Liga is much more intense and much harder to play in than Major League Soccer,” proclaimed Cannon.

quote:

“That’s no slight to Major League Soccer. It’s obviously grown. It’s obviously improved, but there’s nothing that will compare to having a life-or-death game on the line. When you’re in the last game of the season, your fans are surrounding the game and if you lose, it’s 1-1 in the 90th minute, you get relegated.”

That life-and-death of the game part probably has more to do with Boavista only paying him on time once in the last three years.

MLS will never be able to replicate the intensity that pro/rel provides, except in maybe a championship game.

Eryk Williamson was interviewed by scuffed or TSS about his time in Portugal and said he was surprised by how poor the facilities were.

Where did I say MLS was ahead of Portugal? Ya'll come up with stupid shite. Portugal, according to UEFA, is as good as France which apparently SCH likes to gives blowies to.

MLS is a boring product and hard to watch.

Pro/Rel makes everything intense


Except his team (Boavista) were 20 points clear of a drop, probably knew they were clear in February, and probably also knew they were eliminated from the Championship.

There are a lot of instances in which Pro/Rel works great, and others where it is a terrible idea.
