but he was just no longer good enough
@mma your an idiot 250,000,000 ??? Stop exaggerating maybe you get your view across (actual payout 32 million)
Ah I like Texas, I was thinking about supporting FC Dallas earlier but they're a little too far down the table :p
Yeah, the main color is orange. Houston is in Texas, down in the South of the country. Look it up on google maps and you'll figure it out. I smell another Dynamo fan!!!!
Yeah, Dynamo. Their home strip is orange right, where abouts is Houston in America?

See! Go Dynamo! DALE DALE DALE DYNAMO!!!
Your son is cool then :D. Thanks for the advice, i'm gna look into it more.
Yeah sure, thanks by the way.
Seattle Sounders?
I happen to live in L.A. so Galaxy are our local team. My son is a big Manchester United fan BTW, he's got a Rooney jersey hanging on his wall.
Hey, if you're looking for a team that is okay, then you might wanna try the Houston Dynamo. They are playoff giants, have the smallest salary cap yet still kick butt, don't lose all too much but don't win every game, and are shaping into one of the better teams in the MLS. AND we have the left-footed Beckham (AKA, Brad Davis)
They're a team that can win championships and if you want, I can give you a league ranking, 1 to 19, just reply back.
I'd feel like i'm band wagoning if I supported Galaxy, don't wanna be a glory hunter. No offence to Galaxy fans.
LA Galaxy do spend the most on salaries but they also play the most attack-minded style of all MLS teams. You should support the team your old Manchester United player Beckham played at and root for the Galaxy!
I've lived in Manchester and supported Manchester United all my life an now i'm planning on supporting an MLS team too. I'm knew to the league and don't know the clubs very well, so i'd like some opinions of those who know the league top to bottom
I don't want to pick a top team, or money-bags like La Galaxy who buy all their players and pay stupid wages (Aka manchester city). Something like i'm the Aresnal / Liverpool equivalent of the English Premier league. Not the best, but not terrible.
Fan since 96, they didn't know what the fuck a bandwagon was back then.
LA fan since 03, don't think so.
That makes a lot of sense. Follow the player, not the team. I'm embarrassed to support the same team.
everyone was a bandwagoner once. The important thing is no one should become a bandwagoner twice
Did you not read my entire comment? Bandwagoning is when you jump teams due to their success. I was Spurs fan before anything, then when one of the all time greatest Spurs came to MLS how could I not follow him?
Congratulations on bandwagoning. You are such a good supporter.
Obviously Timbers winning the Cascadia Cup, the most important cup:)
I started watching MLS 3 seasons ago (when the Rapids won the cup). I was following TFC at first (naturally, being from Ontario), and I think that's really what got me into MLS, just actually having a soccer team where I live. But I jumped ship to the Galaxy when Robbie Keane came over, he's my all time favourite!! (Tottenham was the first team I ever started really watching)
I agree…seeing this overpayed, posh, primadonna leave the league was the best story so far. To those who say he "helped" the league need to realize, paying a playing a player $250,000,000 dollars to make appearances, doesn't "help" a league. All he did is promote this league as a retirement home to aging, past-prime stars.
Great story but what about Omar Gonzalez coming back from injury and saving the galaxys season?
He really did help speed up the progression of the MLS. Being one of the first star players to come over not only brought other stars over, but improved the game overall here in the U.S. Great guy and hope he has a future as an MLS owner!
If MLS cup wasn't rigged then u guys wldnt be able to put him #1!
Wheres he going to go!?
NNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
