Once again, why do the average americans care about this crap? I got on CNN.com and this was the MAIN STORY!!! About how Victoria was spotted in LA house shopping! Unbelievable.
In Chicago we have the Fire - and I think they have made it to the MLS championship game the past 2 years, but I wouldn't know because no one reports or talks about it.

I'm rather curious to see what happens regarding MLS's popularity. Part of that is probably because I have been to a couple of Revolution games in Foxboro in the past year, and I kinda-sorta follow MLS.
