I found the cure for insomnia......

.....it's called MLS, and specifically, "TORONTO FC".

I have been watching some of this since the Jay game ended, and I'm telling you....if I could bottle this chit, I'd have the cure for sleeplessness......

I think the camera they are using is not even on the same piece of real estate as the stadium where the game is being played. If it is, then the face value on the tickets in this area would not equal the value of a cheap beer.......

Even I know the purpose of a free kick is not to show everyone how far you can kick the ball (ie: 10 rows up). Geezuz......

If anyone is in the Carson, CA area, you should maybe go and see if these cats that are doing the play-by-play and colour commentary still have a pulse. Close call, and could go either way......Holy chit.

Maybe I just don't appreciate the game enough, but I'm telling you, this maiden voyage that is a Toronto FC telecast in Major Leaue Soccer is PAINFUL.....I mean PAINFUL!!!!!!!

soccer is one of the most boring sports to watch. right up there with tennis (when sharapova isn't playing).

Careful, we got into this debate a while back at World Cup time.

Apparently there are people on this forum who's blood pressure is 2 over 3 and actually think this crap is entertaining.

Ok, I will chime in with the other side, but not looking for an argument either?:mj07:

FWIW, I was one of those who will watch the World Cup. I play the game, both indoor and outdoor, and use it as a form of exercise. I hate running to just run:scared , so it has to have a purpose......

Anyway, I would never watch the MLS, Beckham or no. Most of the guys that play are average at best, and the coaches make watching the game, well, unwatchable. So give me world cup, and UEFA champions league, and thats the extent of my soccer viewing:shrug:

i've been playing the game my whole life. its fun to play but i would never ask someone to go through the torture of coming to one of my games and watching.

Don't get me wrong Guys.....I enjoy the World Cup, and I'll even watch a bit of English Premiership that they show here on many Saturday mornings, but this MLS is bad, and I mean BAD to any other world class soccer I stumble across.......In fact, I am not moving off my original position.......MLS = PAIN.
