Something that is brought up very frequently in American circles is the fact that the US is a very soccer-centric country but that does not make it a very MLS-centric country. Montreal
is a soccer haven, and does support CF Montreal at times, but unlike the other major leagues MLS is having to compete against major European and other leagues for eyeballs. I think the old adage is that MLS is the third most popular soccer league in the US (after the EPL and La Liga).
