I just watched the Vancouver Whitecaps fight back from being down 3-0 to score 2 goals in injury time and very much enjoyed the game.

This is their second game I have watched and I have been throughly entertained in both games. End to end rushes, a lot of shots and chances seem to be the norm.

These 2 games are the ONLY MLS games I have seen, is this style of play consistent across the league or are there many dull games in this league.

Fill me in on MLS soccer.

Let's go DC UNITED

I have never really been into MLS until I got into soccer last year. Also I went to high school with this dude who plays on Chivas, Michael Lahoud.

For a league that is still young and expanding while keeping finances under control, its pretty good. It is similar to the EPL style of constant fast pace attacks but with lesser quality on passing and defense.

The duller games tend to occur during the summer either because other soccer events are occurring or teams trying to keep the players fresh to better compete for playoff spots at the end of the season.

I love attacking style soccer so I think if the Whitecaps continue to play this style I might just be a fan.

I've played soccer most of my life but have never been a fan of soccer unless it's the World Cup, or the last Euro Cup. Here's hoping teams don't play for the 0-0 ties in MLS.
