I'm sure MLS games in person are fun, but on TV I have a hard time staying interested.
I try watching FC Dallas sometimes - I've probably watched 4 complete games this year, but after you watch some of the international games on TV it's kind of like, "Oh," when you watch MLS. The passes aren't as good, they seem to just go out of bounds way more, and the guys don't seem to field passes nearly as well, and so it cuts down on some of the really cool plays and volleys you see in European league games.
Still, I think it's a good product and it's certainly not going away. I just think they have a long way to go. Maybe it's just unrealistic to expect the MLS will ever reach the level of those other leagues and I should appreciate that it's a viable league.

I think it's like the NHL - people really like it in person but on TV it isn't as entertaining.
