Major League Soccer has a sort of strange reputation. On one hand, people often claim it’s “hard to watch” and “overly physical” due to lacking players with “technique” and “talent”. On the other hand, teams keep scoring 70 goals a year in the league. No, not every game is fun to watch. For every time Atlanta United scores four goals and Josef Martinez gets a hat trick or Zlatan hits a half field volley past the 8th best American goalkeeper, there’s probably two terrible 0-0 draws involving rotated players and worse refereeing. But it isn’t like the EPL is top to bottom stacked with 20 different versions of Manchester City and Liverpool, bad soccer is just sort of a feature of the sport and MLS is no different.
