The MLS season starts tonight. And while it's obviously not a top flight soccer league in the world, I'll watch whatever soccer I can get. The league is getting better, and it's growing. Expansion teams, star players, and the soccer is improving. Tonight we have one of those expansion teams verse some of the big stars: The Seattle Sounders vs Landon Donovan, David Beckham, and the LA Galaxy.
Seattle has the greatest fan base in the MLS averaging about 30,000 fans per home game. And Freddy Montero is one of the budding stars in the league. I'll save the talk of David Beckham for another time, but Landon Donovan is a legit star. Leading the US National Team for the last 8 years or so, Donovan finally lived up to his ability in the last World Cup and in his time at Everton. But he and David Beckham (who is actually a very good player) will be up against it in Seattle against those crazy fans. Should be a fun game to watch with some good soccer. I'm predicting a 2-1 win for the Galaxy.
