Most people like watching the major European leagues of course but in the rest of the world it seems like people still make time to watch their domestic league, or in England their Conference South or Northwest Counties League matches or whatever. Also, Jozy won't score this weekend, thassa fact.

They do clash with college football and NFL though, which are slightly more populer in America than the MLS. European leagues start at like 7am on the weekends here which don't clash. For the majority of us, that takes precedence over MLS and maybe soccer in general. I'm not trying to start a debate about american football vs soccer, just pointing that out. And for the record, i've been to 3 MLS games this season. They are fun in person Crunkjuice fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Oct 19, 2013 |

Fans rejecting their local leagues and only caring about EPL and one match in Spain is in no way unique to the USA. In fact MLS is among the 10 best supported football leagues in the world. So.

Agreed, I can watch A-League football without gouging my eyes out most of the time. In fact, it's a better standard than what Jozy serves up half the time.

Just because its poo poo quality doesn't mean its not fun some of the best goals are scored in the non-leagues tbh, chubby builders scoring screamers while a couple of hundred die-hards go mental, scorelines that routinely end up 3-3, 5-2 and 6-4. Its where the action is at imo.

Jozy is the opposite of a chubby builder. I go soft as a dishrag seeing him on match of the day. You've let me and my wife down. Cheers Jozy you shithouse.

He's probably thinking about what he's going to have to eat tonight already. Rubbing his tummy and smacking his lips. Stop thinking about food Jozy you cretin.

sunderland are the worst team in the PL by a decent margin and jozy still isn't good enough to start for them. Cracking a few lols here.

Was it Sunderland or Villa who panic bought Darren Bent for loads of money? If it was Sunderland can see them doing the game again in January. Not that it will matter

I'm waiting for the official scoring chart before I draw any conclusions about how this match reflects Jozy's ability.

Hmmm, okay after seeing the chart I've come to the conclusion that Jozy is still poo poo and in fact was so bad today that he couldn't start for a team that now has one point after eight games. I can't wait to see if Americans somewhere claim that Sunderland would totally have won that game that they lost 4-0 if Jozy had started.

8 games, no goals. At this rate, Jozy will score 0 goals by the end of the season.
