    Soccer requires a team to play defense. Maybe something like marking a defender and not leaving him wide open on the back side of the goal.


    The MLS cannot or will not play defense so I refuse to call whatever it is they do in the MLS soccer.


    Therefore how can America ruin a sport that they don't even play.

    Stupid club names?

    When you're the 5th most popular pro sport in a country, you don't get the pick of the litter when it comes to names.

    @BreakfastBourbon: Good point but the person that came up with the name Houston Dynamo should be molested by a grizzly bear.

    @sir_pantsalot: The Dynamo could have done far worse.


    Besides, just switch it around to Dynamo Houston. Automatic improvement.


    Shouldn't be that hard to name soccer teams, just stick FC in front of wherever you play, add a major sponsor if you like, and it works.


    Real Salt Lake may be thoroughly silly, but it beats the hell out of anything the WNBA can come up with.

    Looks like somebody's about to become the target of a drive-by argument.

    We have also ruined the subtle sophistication of the British reality and game shows Celebrity Fit Club Dog Eat Dog, Hell's Kitchen, Pop Idol, Supernanny, The Weakest Link, Wife Swap and Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, among others. What in the hell is wrong with us?

    I say bullshit. America takes foreign things and improves on them. Like the Choco Taco.

    Sure, America may be ruining soccer but does anyone care about what the queers are doing to the soil?
