one problem with soccer is that the talent is too spread out over the world

people complain about parity in US sports, these other leagues are a joke.  the nba, mlb, and nhl get the all the best players concentrated here.  soccer has all the best players spread all over the world and none of them are here.  balotelli in italy, zlatan in paris, messi and ronaldo are in spain together but that's one of the most top heavy leagues, robben and all those german robots in the german league.  maybe we're selfish but we already have sports where the cream of the crop come here where we can see them live.  with soccer, you have to work so hard to see all the best in their club leagues and most of the time they're playing some worthless team of scrubs.

the champions league is great but that still excludes some great players

MLS is going to be minor league sport played in big markets.  you can watch and enjoy it but you can't get that invested in something when you know it's inferior

MLS's attendance is surprisingly high compared to the other soccer leagues.  we b!tch about SU football attendance and it's better than most soccer leagues avg (I know there are many more games)
