People, places and things we noticed during Major League Soccer’s preseason that land on the over-done or overly praised side. Not necessarily awful but, you know, just “meh.”
- LA Galaxy season opening attendance
- Any attempted excuse for that ridiculous Chivas USA opening day attendance
- Power rankings for clubs after one week (Patience, please!)
- Chicago striker Maicon Santos
- Any Chicago Fire forward who cannot start in front of Maicon Santos
- Protein / power bars
- SKC’s rebuilt midfield (rescued heroically by “right wing” Graham Zusi)
- Benny Feilhaber’s impact in SKC debut
- Concerns over Miami’s second stab at MLS
- David Ferreira stationed out wide in FCD midfield
- Needlessly overly extended national anthems
