MLS is so bad, it makes David Beckham looks like Zidane (with video evidence)
Beckham’s LA Galaxy drew 2-2 with Chivas USA in their MLS playoff opener, and Dave showed off the sort of tricks and flicks that Fabio Capello would surely frown on…
Fancy feet, Becks. MLS makes you look goooooood.
Match highlights below:
Hmm, dubious defending on all four goals.
PS. I don’t think MLS is so bad at all (the forward play is pretty good, but the defending is lower-league standard), but there’s no doubt Becks gets more time on the ball than he ever would in England, Spain or Italy.

Haha. Saw that last night. MLS defending really is awful. Those mistakes for the goals would’ve given Newcastle-era Titus Bramble the chills.
Don’t hate. Let Becks do his thing lol. I don’t know about the time on the ball thing either..MLS is hustle and bustle football…The standard is not high but theres a lot of effort involved..so they do shut down quickly. He gets more time on the ball in Italy.
@ Meji: Not hating for real – you know I’m not a hater. It’s just a long time since I’ve seen Becks pull any ‘moves’ like that.
Haha MLS is such a joke. The league itself has dubbed a match between Chivas USA and LA Galaxy “El Superclassico”!! And what a fantastic and heated derby it is indeed! That stadium was almost at 1/2 capacity!! And oh what history, they have been hotly contesting this derby for all of 6 seasons.
Please just go away MLS. You make american soccer the laughing stock of the world. I mean there is a team called Real Salt Lake for christ sakes!
We need a real league with relegation/promotion and individual team ownership.
hey ty, well its easy to rip on a league you dont understand. just because its on tv and advertised a lot doesn’t mean that it should be under more intense ridicule. dont forget that the real premier league that exists today is just under 20 years old, and they had to start somewhere, so must the mls. once they gain a capital and solid fan base, then they can really have the freedom to choose.
hahahahahah ! hahahahh ! Try this in the Epl or La Liga..omg !!
ZZ or not that was some pretty impressive skills for any footballer to pull off.fucking lovely bit of skill.
Alex, I agree that some of the MLS’s faults can be blamed on it being a young league. I just dont think that the MLS was created on a solid foundation. The MLS was constructed with too many elements of other American professional sports organizations such as conferences, playoffs, and colective ownership that do not translate well to the beautiful game. The MLS only borrows superficial elements from European leagues such as names i.e. Real Salt Lake, Huston Dynamo etc.
I think that professional soccer in the US will only succeed as a carbon copy of the English football league system with relegation/promotion no East/West conferences etc.
The American sports media is a problem as well. ESPN does not understand the game and they attempt to dumb down any coverage of soccer in the US. This is infuriating to me and im sure a lot of other American’s who know and love soccer. I don’t need John Harkes explaining the game of soccer to me fro 90 min every time I watch a WC qualifier. Just be quite and tell me who has the ball!
Sorry. major soap box issue for me. haha
I was looking at LA’s first goal (:58-1:10), never would’ve happened in Europe, any keeper in the top flight would’ve gone after that ball instead waiting for the shot.
