Reminds me...
I went to my first professional match 2 weeks ago, saw the Hell is Real Derby between Columbus SC and FC Cincy. Atmosphere was great and Columbus managed to snag Cucho, who has torn through the MLS since arriving.
The quality is much better than it was several years ago. It's better than the Championship, but I think an MLS All-Star team probably gets relegated 9 times out of 10. As opposed to a few years ago when it was Landon Donovan and 80 year old Beckham. The quality I saw that Sunday has caused me to start paying more attention to the league as a whole. They have the most complicated structure I've seen in a top league, but with an MLS team finally winning Champions League, I expect them to start relaxing the rules slightly more.
