    City, Bayern, Chelsea and Real Madrid all being on one side of the bracket and Milan, Inter, Napoli and Benfica on the other sure is something!

    Not sure if anyone in here follows their local MLS franchise, but I'm in St. Louis and have season tickets and it has been a ton of fun so far! I've never been into MLS but getting our own team has me very into it this year.

    I was very big into the Metro (AKA RBNY) from 2009-2012ish. I had season tickets and sat with the Empire Supporters club for a while. Getting Red Bull Arena definitely helped get me into it.

    All of that said, here is what pushed me away from MLS:

    1) Over expansion. The MLS expanded way to fast and without having a promotion/relegation system, it is simply too many teams at this point. Too hard to follow that many teams.

    2) The playoff system. Every team basically makes the playoffs making it really random on who wins a lot of the time. The regular season is also largely pointless.

    3) The Red Bull organization. They are all about making money and don't care about the fans or winning. Since you are new you probably don't remember the #RedBullOut #NoPetkeNoPeace slogan NY fans had for a while. He was our manager and was doing a great job, but had a disagreement with Red Bull and was fired. That pushed a lot of people away form supporting the team. I for one stuck to my guns and never went back to a Red Bulls game after that.

    4) The Red Bulls never win. An original franchise with no titles to their name. I already root for enough teams that break my heart (especially NY based teams). I really didn't have it in me to suffer more with another team.

    5) NYCFC. Absolutely BS that they were allowed to expand into NYC. I knew the Red Bulls would be pretty much irrelevant once that happened. MLS is not big enough for 2 teams yet. Again, over-expansion too quickly. I also hate Man City, so that didn't help.

    6) It is simply still a shit product. I found it hard to care that much when I was so locked in on the Premier League, SPL and Bundesliga. MLS just isn't that good of a product.

    7) I got older. Probably the biggest thing I have noticed with me and my friends is that we all followed footy a lot from like 15-30 years old. For some of us, it was easily our #1 sport or for me #2 behind hockey. I truly believe it is a young fans game though. My interest in it abated greatly with every year I got older. With that being the case, I just ran out of time to care about the MLS. I still follow the EPL and Man United, but even that I only watch a few games a year at this point.

    8) I no longer live close to a team. Charlotte is the closest team to me at almost 3 hours away. I didn't even know the existed until like 4 weeks ago . When I was in Atlanta I did go to a few Atlanta United games. Had a blast and full credit to their fans as they made the atmosphere great. It was just a fun event to go to though. I didn't follow it at all.

    Anyway, those are my thoughts about the MLS. I would definitely come back and watch more if they implemented promotion/relegation, got rid of the playoff system and if Red Bull sold the team in NJ.

    So the CONCACAF Nations League is going on right now. What's the difference between the Nations League and the Gold Cup?

    I know the Nations League is a qualifier for the Gold Cup.

    Is the Nations League just a tourney for everybody in CONCACAF? And the Gold Cup is more exclusive?

    A lot of regions, CONCACAF included, have tried to increase the number of official competitive games they play (as opposed to friendlies), so the Nations League basically takes the place of some of the previous friendly slots. It is for everyone in CONCACAF, part of the logic is some of the smaller countries were previously playing 10 or fewer games in a 4 year cycle so it gives them more opportunity and I think also having competitive games helps the world rankings of some of the bigger teams in CONCACAF. UEFA is doing it too in addition to the Euros for similar reasons.

    United falling apart in the homestretch. Gross loss at West Ham. I can't do another season in the Europa League.

    Very glad Arsenal choked the title away. I'm not a fan of City continuing their run of dominance but as a Spurs supporter I definitely prefer it to Arsenal sniffing a title.

    Manchester City (and NYCFC) are a large reason why I don't watch very much anymore. It is bad for the league and bad for footy. I much preferred the days with the "top 4" of Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and United battling it out each year with the occasional surprise like Spurs or City breaking into it. Oddly, the parity for the title felt like it was better back then, but the mid-pack parity is better now I guess.

    Point taken and I agree with all your points in general, just not in this specific instance where parity for the title would involve Arsenal having a chance of winning it

    You mean back when United was racking up trophies? Should have signed Haaland when you had the chance.

    The premier league is fantastic. Between the crowds and whatnot any match is exciting.

    They showed fans walking out early the other day. Hilarious.

    You mean back when United was racking up trophies? Should have signed Haaland when you had the chance.

    The premier league is fantastic. Between the crowds and whatnot any match is exciting.

    They showed fans walking out early the other day. Hilarious.
    As a United fan it was obviously better for me when the team was winning trophies a lot. That said, the years that United won several EPL titles in a row felt hollow after a few in a row (Same with Celtic and Bayern). I don't like when any team dominates a league so much. I prefer parity at the top. When a team dominates the domestic league it basically means that fans are really only watching Champions League footy. That was definitely true for me when I was in my prime watching United from 1999-2012. After 2008ish I really only cared about the CL for like 4-5 years. Also, my friends who were not United fans will be the first to tell you that I was always saying that I don't like when even United dominates the league. I wanted parity at the top. 1999-2007 was awesome for that with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and United.

    The 3 leagues I was locked in on were the Bundesliga, Scottish Premier League and EPL. Onces Bayern started to dominate I pretty much stopped watching German footy. Even though I hate Rangers with a passion, once they got relegated and Celtic won a bunch in a row (10 I believe), I was done watching the SPL, and now with City pretty much being a lock every year or every other year I just don't follow the EPL that much anymore.

    I also listed other reasons above in an older post, but, I do believe that poor parity at the top is a big reason why I don't follow that much anymore.

    I hardly even know who Haaland is to be honest (for $1000 I couldn't tell you his full name). 10-12 years ago I could have named most players on all 20 EPL teams, every player on the top teams and many across the game world wide.

    As a Bayern fan I can tell you the bold is absolutely true. With that said, I always watch the matches regardless, but the UCL always held MUCH more significance.

    Although the Bundesliga will come down to the final match this year as Bayern is only clear of Dortmund by a point. They have a huge game this weekend against Leipzig who is third in the league. Leipzig are 4 points ahead of the 5th team.

    Bayern soundly in a UCL spot for next year, but losing the league to Dortmund would be a colossal disaster.
