It's at about 1:00 in.

The amazing thing for me though is that there were so many people there!

:laugh:

Out of interest, who, if anyone, do you follow in MLS?

No one really RedJ.  Occasionally the New England Revolution because my sister lives in Massachusetts where they are located, and sometimes the NY Red Bulls because they're a NY team.

I used to like NE Revolution. At one point I got really into MLS (peaked around about the time they aired a show following it on UK TV) but then my interest kind of fizzled out. Ever been to a game? and what were the major differences between them (if you have obviously :laugh:) and the Doncaster game you attended?

Sorry for being quizzical :laugh: never really spoken to an American football fan :P

Quality probably.  lol   MLS is certainly getting better, but of course we don't have the relegation and promotion aspect you do, which I have come to love about your football.

I think most fans here were hoping Beckham's presence would give it a major boost, but he couldn't carry the LA Galaxy on his own and it became kind of a bust sadly.

That's the thing I dislike most about the American system - no relegation and promotion system to speak of. It'd be better in my opinion - don't know about you - if it was organised into the top division as one big league, and other divisions set up into a football pyramid based on our system. No one does it like the English ;)

I was desperate for Becks to help make \"soccer\" big over there, as I love him, and it'd be great to see football become big on your side of the pond too.
