For what it's worth, TV ratings less than 1.0 are within the margin of error, so comparisons are a waste of time. And the 5000+ reported in Foxboro looked about right to me, based on the extremely inaccurate naked eye gauge.
And I can' t imagine why you thought MLS would do so well vis a vis the EPL. I see people wearing EPL jerseys all over the place. I see maybe one MLS jersey a year - and some years not even that.
To take it a step further Anthony, last year there were more MLS alumni in the Premiership than there were from any league outside of the EU.
No one doubts that the Premiership is vastly superior to MLS. But you are taking that to an extreme, most likely based on cultural bias and not on actual analysis.
