geez i'm not the biggest MLS fan, although i try to watch all toronto games, but some of the comments in here are ridiculous and typical of the eurosnob football fans found everywhere in Canada.. the league may not be of a high quality compared to many european ones, even the Championship, but it is hardly a retirement league and in fact is starting to become a great aid to better development of soccer players in both Canada and the US. sure some of the high profile players brought in are on the wrong side of 30 but these players DO bring awareness to the league. how often is MLS news featured on CNN? in the end whatever helps to improve the quality and public perception of the league is good for Canadian soccer, although some of the people commenting in this thread might be the type to cheer for their country of heritage at a world cup instead of canada, should it qualify.
end rant
