It's ridiculous just how good Ronaldinho was at his peak. The free kick at 4:10 is unbelievable. He could put the ball exactly where he wanted it from seemingly anywhere on the field.

That whole era of Joga Bonito was insane. Him, the fat Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Kaka, the whole lot....when they were in their prime around that time, there wasn't a more enjoyable team, club or country, to watch in the entire world.

I'll find it when I get home, but they had a goal where they went end to end in like 10 seconds to score a goal, had three great passes in the box to score a tap-in basically.

So we are getting a MLS team here in Orlando in 2015.

Yay! :|

The hospital I work for is the official sponsor for all of their medical needs.

They do really well in attendance.

Last year, in the league title game(not sure which league it even was lol) was held at the Citrus Bowl and drew something like $21K.

They sell beer.

They are building them a new stadium. I am not sure if it was tax payers money though.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. I think of the MLS like the WNBA in terms of sports leagues.

I think it was at least partially publically funded, almost certain.

It seems like MLS gets as much publicity as WNBA, but the attendance for the MLS is pretty astounding for a league that, on the surface, it seems like no one cares about.

I was saying for me I think of it as much as the WNBA, never.

I have no idea if its successful and really dont care as anything outside World Cup soccer doesn't interest me.

The sport has definitely grown in the states though but will never rival the big 3.

Goal Argentina did a simulation of the World Cup draw.....here's the group the USA got

Argentina
England
France
USA

This draw will heavily determine what happens to the United States. That would be the most brutal draw I've ever seen. Guardian ranked the 32 teams yesterday, and all four of those teams are ranked in the top 15 (USA was 15th).
