Messi has a fanbase, Inter Miami as an entity doesn’t here. They were dead last in attendance before he showed up. If anything there's probably more people outside the US enamored by the *idea*, the aesthetic, and whatnot, than those in Miami that are fans of the actual team. That’s why their Adidas store is on the strip in Miami Beach where all the foreign tourists walk down, it's where they get sold the idea of Inter Miami then go back home with their pink outfits. I’ve always seen them as not a team but Beckham's fashion line, something to latch onto celebrity than any love of the game.
Isn't that every american sport ever?
Nah I kid, I love baybaw

It feels rather unique and I don’t like it one bit. Maybe Europeans are more used to the teams in their leagues being worldwide phenomena but it’s a little off putting to me for the most Google searches of "my" team to be coming from Bangladesh. And how that came before any winning culture or really any culture whatsoever around the team had developed naturally at the local level. Even the most franchise of franchises in other sports have more grassroots support. I bet the Panthers are still more popular locally.

Yeah I get you. It doesn't even feel like a sports team, it feels like you're consooming a product.
Which is true for every sport, but I'm talking about how it FEELS to the fan
South Florida has the worst sports fans in America. They will only attend games if the team is a winner. They’ll switch allegiance in a heartbeat if the local club sucks
inb4 Ohayo aka a not insignificant percentage of the Crew fanbase shows up to shitpost and further confirm that they are the most spoiled and undeserving fanbase in the league.

Grown ass men chanting “I BELIEVE THAT >WE WILL WIN” will always be cringe and embarrassing. Also fans showing up to games with troony flags and stuff like that is embarrassing.

Uncanny valley version of a soccer league where something just feels off — it's not quite an overt caricature of a league, but it also doesn't pass as the real thing. As a result MLS franchises are supported by clueless hispanics who beat drums all match and urbanite söys who fly troony flags unironically.
Soccer has definitely been growing the US but in the short term a lot of that growth has been from more Americans watching Euro leagues. This is starting to change as most MLS teams now have soccer-specific stadiums which actually make it nice to go to games and the days of shitty matches on artificial turf in empty football megabowls or baseball stadium outfields are ending.
The actual on-pitch product is still pretty shit, comparable to upper League 2 / lower League 1 in England. Defense is dire and tactics involve a lot of hoofing it up the field and hopeful crosses into the box. The "good" teams change all the time because there is a salary cap (~$13,000/week maximum) and decent financial parity between franchises. Each team has three "designated player" spots that can break the salary cap to allow them to sign washed up big names on retirement tours but this has not made a meaningful impact on quality of play.
The teams to watch right now are: >LAFC >Inter Miami >Columbus Crew >Philly Union
t. was a mascot for DC United in the early 2000s
I unironically like it, not least because it doesn't take itself too seriously and feels more like sport as entertainment (which it should be)
the mix of world class individuals like messi and suarez playing alongside absolute shitters from the slovenian leagues and a bunch of guatemalan nobodies is kino

The Euro larp is cringe. I'm from KC and nobody even understood the team name when they changed it from the Kansas City Wizards.
Just a quick little league we set up to pass the time while we wait for Freddy Adu to come out of the hyperbolic time chamber and lead us to international glory
Feels like he's been in there a while...
humiliation ritual
hispanics who hate america because the CIA oppressed them must now watch their league
I meant who's good, who's bad, is it interesting to watch, that kinda thing.
But I like your post nonetheless. Funny banter.
The most watched football league in the united states is the liga mx
I dont think so, I think more people tune in to premier league replays. I lvie in the southwest and Ive still seen more EPL jerseys than liga mx
Ratings it's Ligma, then EPL, big gap, MLS, big gap, everything else
Seattle sounders, portland timbers and LAFC the only clubs that had decent fanbase
LAFC hangs a huge gay pride flag at one of the ends of the stadium behind a goal, they apparently have many gay fans.
read that as seattle pounders
Miami doesn't have a fanbase? Weird, considering they have pissi
They are newbie
wut
the club literally only created 6 years ago bro
So? Should still have a big fanbase with the pisslord himself

Pink is an under used aesthetically pleasing and vibrant color. I like the sea/light blue and pink combo too.

>You have to put up with the 5th firesale in 30 years or you're not a true fan!!
frick you
rent free
That's not your logo anymore homosexual.
You will use the trash can.
You will love the trash can.
You will be happy.
Still not as bad as the Indians > Guardians fall from grace.
Kansas City has a good fanbase
The whitecaps here are very well supported.
Retirement club for European players. P2W for American players.
An insecure league and gaybase. The gaybase also likes to shove their gay pride flags in your face at the stadiums.
they make a lot of people mad by existing

right now it gets run by a cornfield team where playing soccer still gets you called a gay and it makes seethe
>it gets run by a cornfield team
wait whom?
Messi
League
Soccer
>mindbroken by a tripgay
couldn't be me
It stinks
I only liked the first episode of this show. The rest had really weak humor
OH I'D LOVE TO BE AN OSCAR MAYER WIIIEEEENEEEERRRR

TL;DR it’s reddit: the league

In other countries the federation controls the league
Not sure how that's better
The rest is bullshit
It’s not bullshit if it’s all verifiably true, doyle
Clearly the >MLS forces the NT to play MLS shitters isn't true you dumb frick
How do you explain morris, altidore and zardes playing for as long as they did?
Because when they were playing there weren't any replacements?
The pool was extremely weak
>Should we try anyone else as an attacking forward?
>no, it’s better to keep doing the same thing and expecting different results
Do you remember how weak the pool was in 2019?
All of the European based players have merged in the last couple of years
It's not MemeLS itself, it's the money behind it that bullies the USSF around.
Luckily the USSF found enough testosterone to defend the US Open Cup from My Little Sawker's homosexualry.
>Clearly the >MLS forces the NT to play MLS shitters isn't true

Who was replacing Wondo? Landon Donovan?
Anyone who wasn't an MLS shitter.
Wasn't anybody back then you shithead
>steals names from euro teams(real salt lake, sporting KC)
The Euro larp is cringe. I'm from KC and nobody even understood the team name when they changed it from the Kansas City Wizards.
It’s a shit league followed by the most pozzed people in the USA. The match quality is shit and I refuse to support my local club.
great football manager league
For me it's 2017's DC United
based FM enjoyer
do we have any actual showcases of FM25 yet? I wanna see the new engine so bad
i think it's a soccor league
Plastic league, plastic teams, plastic fans.
Just a quick little league we set up to pass the time while we wait for Freddy Adu to come out of the hyperbolic time chamber and lead us to international glory
Feels like he's been in there a while...
