This list you sent has the Union, the highest-ranked team in the MLS, ranked 8 spots behind Norwich, who finished dead last in the EPL last year with 5 wins, 7 draws, and 26 losses, plus a goal differential of -61.

I'm not denying the MLS is better than it was ten years ago. I'm not dragging anyone for liking it or supporting the Union. I hope it keeps growing and that soccer can be more popular than hockey in this country. I'm saying as someone who grew up playing high-level soccer and was in the Olympic Developmental Program as a kid, who watched a lot of Serie A with his Italian grandfather in the 90s, who has closely followed every World Cup since 1990 and went to a game in 1994, who has traveled to England to see the Premier League in person, that I don't enjoy the quality of play in the MLS and I don't enjoy watching it. The first touches, the quality of passes and crosses, the marking, the runs in the MLS, basically everything, are not to a standard that I find enjoyable.
