They'll likely still go there anyway because the coaching is better and the game has a great deal more respect than in the UK.If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

I'd be rather surprised if a MLS team could even avoid relegation from the PL, let alone be mid-table. Unless there has been dramatic improvement in the last couple of years. I watched it a bit 2 years ago or so and it was dreadful.

Well, putting aside that in friendlies they don't play all their best players, MLS teams have done extremely well against EPL teams. I'd be surprised if a team like the LA Galaxy would be relegated.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

First of all, you need to work on the names. LA Galaxy!!
I'm sure they would do well in the Scotisch League, say third or something.

I have never seen a MLS game but the key comparison with the Premiership is consistency. There are probably a lot of sides who would show up well against a top Premiership team in a single game. Could a MLS team maintain that level over the course of a season with 50+ competitive games?Never give an AI an even break.Comment

alva, a 'poly XI would probably come third in the Scottish League.
In fact, that's something for PH to mention at his meet this weekend.

LA Galaxy
What, compared to say the Tottenham Hotspur? What the Hell is a Hotspur and why should a football team be nicknamed after it? Newcastle United Magpies? Wha?

I believe they have a chance. Most MLS teams suffer from a lack of depth, but there are a few who I think would be able to do well even having to use the most out of their bench.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Who the hell are Newcastle United Magpies?
Do the play against Manchester United Devils and West Ham United Hammers?
[edit]: If you had read Henry VI, then you'd know that a hotspur is a young gentleman of fiery temperament, one giving his all and afraid of nobody.
Nicknames in English football are mostly dumb, I'll give you that Imran, but LA Galaxy is the name of the team, not their nickname.
Mind you, MK Dons.....

The 'Galaxy' is the nickname. In the US, we also tend to refer to teams by their nicknames. We have to because we have so many more sports than you lot do.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

What's their real name? I thought Galaxy was the real one.

LA Galaxy, Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew.
These are the real names of the teams, as registered with the league. It's not LA United FC or anything like that.Comment

But they are nicknames, just like Denver Broncos or NY Giants are registered with the NFL. The actual NAME of the team is Denver and New York (NFC). The nicknames are registered to avoid confusion with other leagues.
Trying saying "New York has a good team" without any context and see how many different teams people think of.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Galaxy isn't that bad of a nickname. Hell, you have plenty worse in the other major sports. Columbus Crew is perhaps the best city name + nickname in all of American sports though. Rapids is pretty decent and apt for that area. Dallas is changing their nickname from the 'Burn', which was kinda silly. Chicago Fire is very good. New England Revolution is also good. NY/NJ Metrostars is too wordy and dumb... what's a Metrostar? Miami Fusion (when they existed) was a good name.
I wonder what Chivas USA and Salt Lake City will have for their nicknames when they come in next year.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
