    People often forget the Euro leagues have a 100 yrs head start on MLS. Comparing to Euro leagues in 1917, I would say MLS is doing more than fine.

    Not only do they have 100 years on us, they also don't play in the hot summer months to deal with , no playoffs and have relegation and promotion in place which is something MLS doesn't have. With maybe the exception of a Russian team traveling , European clubs traveling schedule is light by comparison. You won't have an Orlando traveling to the Pacific Northwest for a two or three game road trip or a San Jose traveling to KC, taking two weeks off and then flying to NYC as they did this month.These are just a few obstacles but I don't see how any of these factors can't affect or hinder a certain style or level of play In Europe, you take an hour train.bus or plane ride and you are already at your destination. This won't happen in MLS. Here is Sir Alex weighing in on the subject..... .

    Sir Alex Ferguson says Major League Soccer is 'definitely improving ...

    Florian Jungwirth scored 3 goals in 243 overall games in Germany and he has already scored 2 goals in 9 MLS games! A game winner nonetheless! Was also featured at the halftime show!

    Man of the (Minnesota United) match!

    As a vegan, I think I've got a new favorite Quakes player...

    You can get vegan versions of just about any item, shoes, belts, watch straps, bags... are you really trying to identify such materials from a photo?

    For example, Doc Martens:

    Oh and since so many here wanted Tesla as the jersey sponsor... as of a few days ago Tesla only has vegan seat options:

    All of Tesla’s seat options are now vegan

    Overnight, Tesla made some changes to their available options, making some options standard, and notably eliminating one thing: leather seats. As of now, Tesla only sells vegan seats.

    While this lack of leather is not made explicit on the Tesla configuration page, any mention of leather has been removed, and all upgraded interiors are now referred to with Tesla’s “premium” designation which they applied to the original rollout of vegan seats made of a new synthetic material.

    Flo's Instagram says:
    "Unfortunately i am out cause of shoulder injury. Needs a bit time"
    with a photo of him wearing an arm sling, which my wife thinks would be for a separated shoulder. Does anyone have any information on the injury and expected return?

    You might want to update your Instagram. Now he's in Maui celebrating a 3-0 victory, no sling.

    Saw Flo at Fremont Older tonight. Told him to tell Leitch I want him to keep playing in midfield.

    Am up to three Quakes sightings now this year (Big Vic, then Kofie Sarkodie, then Flo), with an ex-coach sighting in between (Spencer).

    Just smiled. Didn't have much time to talk. He was walking his dogs down the trail and I was biking up (and I'm really fast --- wish that last part were true :().
