The offseason brings out the worst in men. Ritualistic weekly viewing of disappointing losses is a habit not easily broken, the cravings haunt many a supporter. Some turn to social media, endlessly scouring pages for inklings of content about their favorite club, only to be disappointed when the only content is more Homegrown signings. Many turn to other leagues, vainly hoping they can replace what was lost, and simply pretend they never cared in the first place. Even the club’s management has appeared to become just a little restless as the offseason wraps up.
But nothing compares to the quirks of Major League Soccer, the joie de vivre of seeing highly decorated European wingers get completely shut down by recent college graduates.
