MLS or better known as Joe Christmas

When the great and utterly sublime David Beckham was asked on the quality of MLS he equated the league to be somewhere between the Premier and Championship leagues of England.  While this isn’t bad company to be in, the implication of Beckham’s statement is that on some level Major League Soccer will always be held to a standard of some other league.  Whether from the Aperatura to Serie A, will MLS ever have its own identity?  A style of play that any fan can easily identify as MLS.  Italy will always have catennacio, the English will run and chase after you over every blade of grass on the pitch.  The Germans, well the Germans will never miss a penalty shot in a shoot out, especially against the English.  But what identity will our league have.  I wouldn’t feel so conflicted over this issue if there were some identifiable signs of a discernable character within the league.  On the plus side the quality of play is one a fan of Doncaster or Nottingham Forrest would probably find rather enjoyable.  Probably my worst post but Texas is losing at halftime to a school frequented by inbred hillbillies.
