So, Salah is pretty good. But why have I been reading stuff comparing him to Messi? I mean, I know folks have words to write but come on. Don't get me wrong, I hope he is great one as that would be exciting to watch. Plus, he seems humble which is great. Give him some time before comparing him to the GOAT. That's a ton of pressure to put on player.

Zlatan has been released from his Man United Contract and is expected to sign with an MLS team this week. I am frankly not sure if his Ego can be contained in MLS.

Sigi coaching Zlatan might actually make me want to watch the MLS now...

Thank god. Outside of my hometown NYCFC, the MLS is a wreck to watch.

So much for MLS shaking its "retirement league" reputation. I guess he'll sell lots of shirts and tickets though.

Colorado Rapids signed Jack Price from Wolves in January. He’s around 25 coming into his prime, tidy little midfielder. He was a pretty decent Championshp player.

All you need now is to toss Bruce into the mix and you can have some fun. Ego men, Sigi, Kinnear, Geo 2 Santas, Zlatan, Ashley Fool, and thrown in everybody hates David Bingham (Mr. Swatting a Butterflies). What a train-wreck that could be.

I didn't know the AAC sponsored soccer. I guess it was still a good decision for WSU.

I'm guessing youve never watched Atlanta United or Toronto play. Both of which have more exciting players and a better looking type of soccer than NYCFC

Dont forget Kamara. He can be a hot head too. Who is the first person to try and fight Zlatan on the Galaxy? I am betting on Perry Kitchen.

MLS has been working to shake that image. This is just the LA Galaxy being the LA Galaxy. They just pitch to the biggest names they can find and get them to come live in LA for a year and draw a paycheck. Poor Sigi Schmidt gets to put up with it.

Honestly Atlanta United, Toronto, and NYRB are probably the best teams to watch in the league right now. NYRB may not be the prettiest, but they actually use their academy system. Tyler Adams has been starting regularly for them in Champions League play.

The crowd is what makes Atlanta so much fun. It's just a different game with 60K in the stands...

He has come a long way in a short time...I just wish he were a few inches taller and a little bigger. I feel like he's going to get worn down because of his playing style matched with his stature.

Its not just the crowd in Atlanta. They play a great style with Martinez and Miguel Almiron.

Andrew Carleton has looked good in his time this season as well.

If what I heard on the ride in to work this morning is true the Galaxy is paying Zlatan $3 million for two years. At that price maybe it isn't such a bad deal considering all the marketing $$ they'll make off of him.
