David Beckham vs. MLS : American Soccer Comes Of Age

US soccer came of age in a big way this summer.


Most will point out to the fact that Team USA took a huge step when losing 3-2 to Brazil in the final of the Confederations Cup, and they would be right to a point. But the display given to David Beckham by his own fans, shows that US soccer fans have taken a massive stride and grown up too.

Winning Ugly, As Good As It Gets In The MLS?

On Sunday, the MLS season draws to a close rather than reaching an exciting climax.

The Columbus Crew take on Red Bull New York in what threatens to be a travesty of justice.

Columbus, who finished on top of the standings with an impressive 57 pts, face not the next best team in the MLS, no...that would make too much sense, no they take on Red Bull New York, who finished eighth.

The MLS take a similar approach to their grand final as the NFL, teams must progress through a playoff system, so it beggars the question, why put so much effort into the season and finish top?
