    So far this year in MLS there have been two broken legs and a broken face plus an assortment of other debilitating injuries. Is this more than in comparable leagues? It seems that there are large numbers of people that would support either side- that the league is too lenient and there are many injuries as a consequence, or that the league is too strict which keeps injuries down but takes away from the game.

    I don't think there aren't more injuries in MLS than in other leagues... it's just that with smaller squads injury problems tend to be more noticeable.
