    It was really cool. There were some players in it and they were teaching little kids, like at a camp...

    It's apparently a new MLS-specific Adidas campaign... good stuff.

    More commercials = Good stuff

    Yeah, that commercial has been playing since the beginning of the season.

    Yesterday, I saw this commercial where Ben Olsen is out shopping with his wife and son and meets up with Brian Ching, Christian Gomez and Duilio Davino at Dick's Sporting Goods. Pretty cool commercial. And at the end when Olsen chases after his son who had just bought a Beckham jersey, I just about died from laughter.

    Has anyone else seen it?

    I'm just glad MLS made ESPN 1 and poker is on ESPN2, instead of vice-versa

    It is, but it's "Dream MLS" with Parky, Moreno and some Houston player. I really like it.

    The new (I guess, I haven't seen it) commercial has Jaime Moreno and some other players who I forgot in it. It was pretty good. The worst part of the commercial was that it was followed immediately by the Ben Olsen commercial.

    Dream MLS is apparently the new Adidas campaign. Right now they have Parkhurst's video bio, with J. Moreno, E. Robinson, Mastroeni, and Kljestan coming later in the summer.

    After the intro, roll over Parkhurst's photo and click "watch episode."

    that bio of parkhurst isn't amazing but thats the kind of thing MLS needs to be doing more of. showing the personal side of the players and making connections between the team/players with the community.
    i am hoping once Sounders FC gets going that the players will be really visible in the community. we'll see what happens.
