	Hooray, finally an MLS quiz!

	Kicking222:	Nov 3rd, 2008 at 22:42 GMT	17 points
	"Red Bull New York" should absolutely count.

	magister:	Nov 3rd, 2008 at 22:50 GMT	11 points
	I concur on Red Bull New York. It is the team's given name, modeled on Red Bull Salzburg.

	Kevin:	Nov 3rd, 2008 at 22:56 GMT	4 points
	Yeah, agreeing on Red Bull New York.

	The MLS is great. Playoffs going on now. Great quiz!

	DerKomissar:	Nov 3rd, 2008 at 23:17 GMT	6 points
	I went to a New York Red Bulls vs. Houston Dynamo playoff game the other day, and about 1/6th of Giants Stadium was full. This is a great league and it really should get more attention.

	I'd also grant just "Chivas" for "Chivas USA," personally.

	marc, i suggest you keep up to date with current economic news :) if you don't like diving, why do you watch basketball, where a huge part of taking charges is flopping? seriously, if you don't like soccer, that is fine, but find a legit reason not to like it. also, no need to call us idiots.

	Damn you, idiosyncratic soccer naming conventions!

	I remember, when Kansas City received an MLS franchise, they dubbed themselves "The Wiz." That name lasted one season, I believe.

	the mls deserves more attention, i agree. But both Baseball and football are american conventions, so its an uphill battle for the mls

	AaronW:	Nov 4th, 2008 at 17:57 GMT	14 points
	Being British, I only got 5/14 and that's only because I'm an absolute football nerd (sorry, can I get away with calling it football here?) But why aren't LA Galaxy on here?

	gopaladins:	Nov 4th, 2008 at 19:11 GMT	12 points
	@aaronw: you didn't spell out los angeles. if it hasn't been changed yet, "LA galaxy" ought to be allowed. no one says "los angeles galaxy". mark my words, one day MLS will rival european leagues. but not in my lifetime. maybe not even in my grandchildrens' lifetimes. but it'll happen.

	Hermes:	Nov 4th, 2008 at 22:04 GMT	6 points
	@radiosilence: Being from KC Metro, I remember the story quite well: essentially some parents went up in arms about the double meaning of the name and demanded a change. sigh

	Hermes:	Nov 4th, 2008 at 22:05 GMT	13 points
	@marc: really we're idiots? how do you feel about people that just come into a thread and blast people for doing something like? isn't that somewhat idiotic?

	Hermes:	Nov 4th, 2008 at 22:07 GMT	10 points
	i really would like to see more people pay attention to soccer. I don't mind watching it. if we can take various other things from foreign countries and american-ize them: why not with soccer?

	getahaircut91:	Nov 5th, 2008 at 00:37 GMT	8 points
	chivas is the actual name of a team in mexico, so chivas is not the same as chivas usa. san jose just rejoined the league…

	magister:	Nov 5th, 2008 at 00:44 GMT	10 points
	Speaking of the name issues, Kansas City had it easy compared to Houston...

	@AaronW: Or just type "Galaxy." It works to have just the "mascot" on every sports quiz. And for those of you who have marked me down: Houston Name Controversy: http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p_mla_apa_research_citation/1/8/0/9/6/p180963_index.html

	@Marc We are not a bigoted country and we do not like bigots. Grow up. Aside from that idiot, great quiz and fun comments.

	Emperor_Ziggy:	Nov 6th, 2008 at 20:38 GMT	10 points
	Marc, soccer is not a socialist sport. There are only five socialist countries in the world, none of them like it, and the only one that ever did (U.S.S.R.) did not invent it, it was the English and/or British who had the largest part of it.

	magister:	Nov 6th, 2008 at 23:38 GMT	15 points
	@Marc: And if you'd like further proof that soccer is not socialist, please google David Beckham's salary. Certainly spreading the wealth a little thick on one side, eh?

	Phil B:	Nov 15th, 2008 at 08:55 GMT	5 points
	Happy I managed to get all 14! I only see a little bit of the MLS this side of the pond!

	MikeHolmes:	Nov 17th, 2008 at 15:38 GMT	-1 points
	I really try and pay attention to the MLS, so i was dissapointed i only got 6. maybe would have got more if i hadn't convinced myself it was new england dynamo, and laughed at the thought of a team from Houston, dont ask me why. good quiz. maybe in time we can get the stadiums aswell

	COLUMBUS TILL I DIE! 2008 MLS Cup Champs 2008 Supporters Shield Winners 2008 Coach of the Year 2008 MVP 2008 Defender of the Year

	magister:	Dec 6th, 2008 at 22:11 GMT	5 points
	Columbus till I die? Okay, buddy, you do what you gotta do. Never thought I'd hear that...

	be ready to add seattle sounders

	ku_sucks:	Jan 23rd, 2009 at 02:49 GMT	4 points
	yeah, the quiz needs some updating. i would add philadelphia, if only as a bonus answer

	johnlk:	Feb 15th, 2009 at 19:21 GMT	-1 points
	Ziggy - Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Yugoslavia, Poland, Hungary, and Romania never liked soccer? Really? Also worth noting that, because it really started out as a working class sport, the traditionally most important clubs have often been concentrated in areas where socialist parties are strong - the industrial north and midlands in England, Glasgow, the Ruhr area in Germany, Milan and Turin in Italy, etc.

	DrumBum88:	Mar 22nd, 2009 at 22:31 GMT	5 points
	It makes you type in the whole name for Seattle. It should just accept the nickname.

	GoonerLover66:	Apr 14th, 2009 at 08:10 GMT	1 point
	100%! I feel that the MLS, and American football players in general, are underrated by Europeans and it's such a shame as there's some real talent. Shalrie Joseph, for example, is a superb defensive midfielder and Brad Guzan was superb before moving to Aston Villa. Donovan Ricketts is also looking like a fantastic prospect and who can forget the legend that is Brian McBride (one of the greatest headers of the ball)?

	gopaladins:	Apr 15th, 2009 at 18:21 GMT	4 points
	@goonerlover66: shalrie joseph and donovan ricketts are not american, though they play in MLS. ricketts has played in england already. as you pointed out, brad guzan now plays in england, and mcbride played in england for years. sooooo, you're not really making your point very well.

	gopaladins:	Apr 15th, 2009 at 18:22 GMT	1 point
	philadelphia, vancouver and portland should be added

	oui_dodo:	Apr 22nd, 2009 at 20:37 GMT	2 points
	We need an NASL quiz!

	elgato10x:	Apr 26th, 2009 at 04:02 GMT	-3 points

	ATQ:	May 10th, 2009 at 02:42 GMT	3 points
	Philly, Portland, and Vancouver should be bonus answers.
