Fans in the States enjoy the game more than in Europe - Locadia

Brighton loanee Jurgen Locadia has claimed fans in the United States can sit back and enjoy matches more than they do in Europe.

The 26-year-old joined FC Cincinnati in February and scored on his MLS debut for the club against New York Red Bulls in a 3-2 loss.

Having previously played in the Eredivisie, Premier League and Bundesliga, Locadia is enjoying playing in front of MLS crowds that don't take the game quite so seriously.

"The stadiums are way bigger than in Europe and I think the fans' vibe is also different because I think here in the States the fans enjoy the game more and in Europe I get the feeling that people are more judgey about the game," Locadia told Cincinnati.
