Steven Beitashour @ Toronto FC | 2015/16

Anyways the professional w/e isn't the discussion, overall quality is the issue and MLS teams don't play bezan ziresh nearly as often as IPL teams. It's become a trend for them to play it short and build toward a goal compared to like 5 years ago but IPL hasn't changed at all (bar PP and maybe Esteghlal because of the real managers they appointed...)

This doesn’t really make sense. How a leagues teams play against each other isn’t necessarily a reflection of quality or improvement. If it was, mls clubs wouldn’t be getting the same poor results in the champions league that they were 5, 10 or 15 years ago. By this logic mls is way better than the Russian league (6th in Europe) since most Russian teams can’t pass for shit and are extremely boring, but obvious it’s not.

At the end of the day there’s nothing impressive about playing in mls (same goes for Iran) which is why even though some of you make a big deal about mls, Queiroz hasnt deemed it necessary to call beitashour up.

Winning CCL isn't easy with Mexican teams, but nonetheless MLS has won it twice. Another aspect of that argument is that they never took it seriously because of the low prize money they offered in previous years but recently Scotiabank's involvement has increased the prize money a team can receive for winning the tournament so MLS will likely take it more seriously now. Playing in MLS may not be that special but MLS is to IPL what Serie A is to Ligue 1... also numerous members said CQ is looking to call him up again.

According to the Toronto Sun, TFC are in negotiations with Beitashour to extend his contract:

"Defensive linchpin Drew Moor re-signed days after MLS Cup. Toronto FC is negotiating to bring back Eriq Zavaleta, Steven Beitashour and Jason Hernandez. They’ll look to sign a wide attacker and, as Bezbatchenko told Postmedia, the next best available player."

Lmfaoo looks legendary tbh..

Also to those comparing IPL and MLS... Apples and Oranges...

MLS is first off not as bad of a league as people make it out to be. IPL is also not trash.

That looks way more exciting than regular penalties tbh

Omg that video cracked me up

lol Americans like to copy practices/terms from one sport to another when they can and thats what they did here in the 90s with these ridiculous shoot outs. its funny to look at bc it shows you how long we have come as a country......we have a lot more of a ways to go still but its good to see the improvements and steps forward.

i was at that game
and was one of the dozen Community organizers of Soccer in KC and me an a handful of others(some british guys) were the original creators and ringleaders of the "Cauldron" rowdy fan section of then KC Wizards now called "Sporting Kansas City" ..!

these shootouts were part of the Early attempts by MLS in order to make the game more exciting, hence more appealing to the average american spectator who found the game to be somewhat boring...! and more importantly in order to decide an ultimate Winner in matches, because the whole concept of a Tie Game (especially a scoreless one) is very much frowned up on in american sports culture, similar to their quest for an Ultimate Champion and how "2nd Place being by enlarge considered the 1st Looser" general concept in american sports culture ...!
TBH, as wack as it looks, it was indeed more exciting to watch than a PK shootout..!! not to say that i'd actually prefer it to the traditional PK shootout... but you know ... whatever..!
even to date: they use pyrotechnics/fireworks and all sorts of other pre-game shenanigans in order to create an exciting game atmosphere and make the overall game experience more exciting and appealing to the adult fan$$ who have never played the game before themselves, hence have a difficult time appreciating the game for what it is naturally and exactly as its played internationally..!!
