Three Things MLS Must BAN for all future teams and fans: 1) Horns- everywhere like such as the iraq- (look at douche and junior douche, this IS a problem). Also against the rules: thundersticks, jock jams, and shirts that say "world's best daddy". 2) The term "yeahhhhhhhhhh" after any goal as spouted by Max Bretos- (pictured below) 3) "Ole Ole Ole Ole, Ole, Ole" - need I say more? Your turn peeps: What 3 things are on your list to keep out of the future of MLS, and it's teams?
God, I hate those horns. I wanted to break the horn some guy was playing about 10 feet away from me on Saturday during Cleveland's game.
1. The MLS Cup half time show. 2. The all-star game 3. Games that start at 12:00 or 3:00 pm. I could go on, but you wanted three.
1) Agree, altogether stupid. Whether it's recording artist here from London, "estelle", or Jimmy Eat World, it flat out looks ridiculous! 2) Yes, I have already proposed a super weekend of friendlies, called the MLS Bowl weekend, with back to back games against international clubs like Celtic, Barcalona, PSV, Real, etc. Some critical acclaim but it didn't draw at the box office. I am hoping for good rentals. 3) In almost all cases I agree. Night games should be 95% of our games. Better atmosphere, more television audience. And please, continue, I would like 3 more from you.
1- Team's playing Gooooooooool!!!! over the PA system when they score. 2- Beckham jerseys being sold at other team's stadiums. 3- Sunday day games.
1. Streamers (except after goals/wins/etc.) 2. MLS Anthem pregame ritual. It's just really lame and does nothing to encourage fans to show up early. 3. Bad referees. Okay, I'm not sure how you do this one. I just really hate MLS referees and this was a free jab.
I can only pick three? Yikes. 1) Europoseur names, i.e. anything not <location> <nickname>. 2) SuperLiga. 3) The "Super" in SuperDraft.
What?!?! That is a classy anthem to have the players walk out to. Would you rather have it like when the league first started and the home team would run out of the tunnel to some corny song? I def. don't.
1. beckham interviews 2. pacifier sucking goal celebrations(not sure if there has been one but just to be safe...should be a world wide ban....) 3. turf
I agree with Revolt though about the transferring players mid-season--something needs to be done about that... Mine are strictly Game Presentation-related: 1 - highly visible football paint on the field (if the lines are faint, it's tolerable) 2 - hard fieldturf surfaces (there is a difference between Gillette and RES, one is tolerable, the other should be outlawed) 3 - PA announcers trying to "pump up" the crowd during the game. Lame.
1) Cheesy American nicknames like "Galaxy" and "Wizards" 2. Football lines like at Giant's Stadium 3, The SuperDaftDraft
1. Those plastic horns *sigh* 2. Monochromatic unis. (Shirt/shorts/socks all the same colour.) 3. Teams with too-similar primary kits.
1, 2, and 3... Change the stupid Americanized nicknames, like "Crew", "Fire", "Quakes", "Dynamo", "Revolution"
1) Any type of artificial surface 2) Gridiron lines 3) Any team that averages under 13k fans for 3 straight years.
I disagree with anything Beckham. The man was brought here to advertise and make money for MLS, let them capitalize so that the league can get richer. As for noisemakers and streamers, they are great and add to the atmosphere of the game. My 3: 1. Football gridlines 2. Bad half-time shows (I would like to see Billy Wingrove, not the Denver Disc Dogs) 3. That "YYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH" after someone scores. Horrid. Just horrid. I think it's Sky Sports has does the game of the week where you have fans from each team doing the announcing. They say whatever they want, and it is pure hilarity. That is exactly what MLS needs.
