Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 1078397, member: 837"] But wait -- I was comparing the MLS as AA or AAA compared to the EPL. How is this wrong? I'd actually argue that it's a compliment if sorts given the absurd level of the EPL. I'm not trying to hammer the MLS at all as much as I'm trying to point out that it is not close to the EPL in talent or level of play. Please explain how that is wrong. Also -- I'm cool with the MLS and soccer growing. Saying it will grow exponentially is almost guaranteed to be hyperbole due simply to basic math and how many people already follow/participate in soccer. But the point people have tried to make here is that it is somehow already as popular as established leagues and will take over everything but the nfl (although jake apparently thinks even the nfl will be surpassed). I simply don't see anything statistically or anecdotally to convince me if that. I don't think that makes me ignorant. [/QUOTE]
