Look at the lousy start Man. U. made at the beginning of the current season. Look at the Italian league and the fact that former league leaders Juventus and Inter Milan will have trouble making it into Europe next year. Juventus, in fact is out. MLS is in its infancy, growing.
Any good parent knows that too much criticism at such an early age destroys confidence.
We can all find something to criticize and analogies can be stretched only so far, I admit, but find something positive to write about, like the resurgence of San Jose, with youth and exciting new Costa Rican defender Mauricio Wright. And somehow, at the end of the season, there will be playoffs and some teams higher than others in the standing, and even a champion. I'll keep this short and sweet. It was informative and made me think about how exciting this league can be, even though the current level of play can be mediocre at times. Thank you for your objectivity and optimism.
