It's definitely gotten better OP, no question about it. It has a long way to go still, but there has definitely been a lot of increase in the amount of skill and creativity going on in the league.

Sasha Kljestan came to Belgium from MLS where he was a prominent player (I think) last season and he had a very tough season, couldn't adjust to the pace and physicality of the game. So I guess it's not that good.

LoudSilence !!nLgIPzUYVW4
>>13586295 Nah. What happened is he was trying to many risky passes that kept getting intercepted, he was the same way in MLS. The difference is that the Anderlecht coach saw something in him and wanted to sharpen his game, make him not be as willing to lose the ball but to dictate the pace of the game, take it slower, and choose his passes more wisely. He's gotten much better since being there in Belgium.

They've been to the MLS Cup many times and always choked and lost.
You can't really compare MLS teams to EPL teams. Btw, LA lead the league in attendance consistently until Seattle joined. So suck my balls. Beckham brought some bandwaggony faggots yes, but LA has good fans for the G's.

the fighting 106, the lazy or irregular 108's, the 105 Howitzers, and so on. each section is slightly different because groups of friends over the years sit together and formed these faux-subsections of the Timbers Army.
we have capos at the front of each section so the timbers army all chants the same chants and songs.

>>13588019 Oh Union have really good attendance, especially when you consider the fact that the team came into existence last year and had never ever existed in any way shape or form before that, unlike Portland and Vancouver this year.
So while there should be a ton of Union fans, its Unlikely that they will outnumber any "bandwagon" Real Madrid fans that will show up. Its hard for a team that has only existed for 2 years to draw more than one of the most decorated clubs in the world.
And tickets werent that bad. I sprung for behind the net, so it got a bit expensive, but getting basic lower level seating (this game is going to be at the Linc) for around 35$ or so, certainly more than worth it.
