WTF! USL! i watched a couple of toronto's games and i swear to god my highschool team is literally better.

[Montreal]

Maybe he really wants that 1,000th goal!
The Lynx r a pretty bad team but I watched a few Impact and Rochester games and they're ok and I'll def. go see Romario. I'd say it's only a little worse than the MLS, but still pretty bad (like the MLS), but it's not 2nd. Division MLS or anything like that.

Im not even sure if they count as goals, they are barely a pro league! I saw a silverbacks game once; two hours of my life i will never get back.

It's improving. The Montreal Impact just bought a former Argentina U21 regular who was also capped 10 times for the national team, we also had the captain of Cuba. & Peurto Rico has two or more Chilean internationals.
