Hi guys, just wonderd if any of you follow any of the American teams and if you're planning on going along to catch aglimpse of Beckham if he's playing your team? I must admit I'm tempted to stroll along to RFK when DC United play Galaxy. Unfortunately, we don't have an MLS team close to us, otherwise I'd definitely go. For some reason I chose DC United as my team, mainly because I think because they're about the closest team to Atlanta and they don't have a silly name! Funnily enough, I was chatting to my fellow Atlanta-based Hibbie, Barney, about this, and I think we're going to make the effort this year to go along to see the local USL team, the delightfully silly named Atlanta Silverbacks.

The silverbacks appear to have a nice ground, though it's a bit small. But yeah, that is a heck of a silly name.
I would go to MLS if there was a team anywhere near my area. But not for Beckham's sake.

What puts me off watching the Silverbacks on a regular basis is the fact that they broadcast live commentary over the tannoy system at the games. That would drive me daft. Do they do that at MLS games? Some other Hibee members of my family go from time to time, but I haven't been yet.

Went to the first MLS match back when San Jose still had a team, never went back since. I do go to some USL matches when the Seattle Sounders are playing. Not bad but the atmosphere is a little lacking.

Mississippi has nothing... pretty much plenty of nothing. So my fix is ESPN and Hibs. I have cable and that doesn`t do much. Direct TV shows English Premier but hey am no payin for that I go to sports bar. And i`m about the only watching ;D Stella Artios is the bevy in there...mmmmm

Becks is in Toronto (Mo Johnson is the coach) this year and their season ticket sales went up a lot the day after he signed for LA. I think he will be a good draw. I am originally from Easter RD (Ferrier St.) born and bred. Hope to be going back for the SC final. (again) One of these times eh! / TD

hey " tommyd" are you the rather athletic tommyd with that lightning pace that plays as a striker for Dofasco? are you comming to toronto for the cis cup final.. we are having a wee gathering down there ...... as for the mls... i think im going to check out Toronto F.C, just to see the skill level. i can be honeset and say im no expecting much from this league. i have watched a bit of the mls on tv and to be honest im no really impressed with it..... i guess its the whole Americanized attitude towards the game that really bothers me.... but alas.. im going to give it a go in toronto.... Cheers ColinP the Hibee

Seen DC United a few times......bloody awful for the most part. Not been for a few years and definitely no plans to go see Beckham.

If anything Beckham is yet another reason while I will stay far away from the MLS.
