Same 'ol tired comments year after year. Dumb Americans, Europe is better, boring...blah blah blah. So let's just not even have soccer in the US since obviously everything else is better. Opinions are fine, but ignorance is a choice.

The level of soccer is just not as good as Europe and South America, but hey if people enjoy it and it gets people watching and promotes the sport, I'm all for it.
Perhaps Brasileirao is a bit better but have you whatched the Argentinian Primera lately? the level has been slipping for a while there.

Both MLS and Liga MX are top 5 leagues in the Americas, arguably better than any South American league except Brazil's.

That's an easy joke, but there are a lot of fútbol fans in the US. The sport is less popular than American football, basketball, or baseball, but a smaller percentage of a large population is still a lot of people. FC Cincinnati sells out its 26K seat stadium every match. Supporters' groups are active. There are parades, elaborate fan-made tifos, a supporters-only section with drums that keeps the atmosphere lively throughout the games.

I'm going to all 3 FC Cincinnati Leagues' Cup Matches against Pachuca, Pumas, and Atlas.
