This morning the daily sport show GLOBO ESPORTE showed highlights of the MLS final and mentioned the 60k fans. They also mentioned that "to some" the MLS is considered a 2nd class league. To see the video click on link below and then on the video link with the RIVALDO photo as they cover Rivaldos game immediatly after the MLS final coverage. http://redeglobo.globo.com/globoesporte/replay.php?data=2002-10-21&cord=3|105
Ty Ty sucks at commentating. They should just put a big orange cone in the booth. It will do a better job then Ty.
The article also says that captain Cobi Jones (ex-Vasco player) raised the cup. Also, that the Ruiz goal started a huge celebration. I know the "second rated" mention of our league was uncalled for.
At least they showed more than any of the American tv cable/networks. the piece was even longer than AC Milan's
UPN here in NYC, Channel 9 to some, showed highlights. They showed the goal and Ruiz looking skyward after he scored. They also showed the shot that hit the crossbar.
i think the line "para muitos, futebol de segunda linha" is a reference to soccer's being less popular than american football, not to the fact that MLS is a second-rate soccer league. they also mentioned that Coby [sic] Jones played for Vasco. i remember a Placar article that named Cobi the worst foreigner ever to play in Brazil.
>>i remember a Placar article that named Cobi the worst foreigner ever to play in Brazil.>> I think if you ask that question in southern Brasil the winner is Paraguayan Carlos Kissie which went to Gremio Circa 1982 as a supposed star and would outshine crosstown rivals Inter's continuous success in bringing ion foreigners such as Chilean Figueroa,Uruguaian Ruben Paz and Paraguayan goalie Benitez. Kissie was an embarresment and soon was shipped back to Paraguay.
