The Sounders suck!

Having lived in Brazil for most of my life, I know soccer (by the way, fuck soccer, I know football) Living in Seattle now, I'm actually trying to get excited about the Sounders, but man, they make it hard.

Yesterday I was watching the game against FC Dallas and I had to turn the TV off 10 minutes into the second half. It was an impossibly poor performance by both teams, in a level only displayed by amateur football in Brazil. The ball was mostly in the air, and the players were struggling to gain control of it all the time. Nobody knew how to open up space, and any player in control of the ball would promptly turn it over to the other team. Absolutely ridiculous!

This should not be called Major League Soccer. It should be called Double A Football.
