doubt you'll be able to find full games but if you're interested there are a ton of documentaries available on YouTube about their season. i genuinely think witnessing what happened could turn a non-fan into a die hard. it's the ultimate underdog story. you cannot write something more unbelievable than this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgEPx6ZBiOU It's only ten minutes. Wouldn't recommend looking for old games really. All the big moments will be in that. *BORING FOOTBALL INFO POST* To appreciate what they did, you have to understand that the league has been monopolised by a handful of teams spending hundreds of millions of pounds every year, with the top five or six squads absolutely stacked with star internationals. Any time a team outside of that elite group starts to progress by building a team capable of challenging, the billionaire clubs buy their players, they are back to square one and the cycle continues. The only way to do it is to spend billions yourself if you get taken over by foreign investors, but this club spent next to nothing on no mark players. That league win bucked the trend, they are a small club who had never been champions in their 100+ year history (their manager had never won the league either) and were in the lower leagues a year or two before, hence 5000-1 odds. |

I reckon MLS will grow, might have said before that eventually I think top players will start to go there during their peak years. If the wages were on par with top European clubs then why not play over there? Especially if there was an intercontinental competition where the European elite played against the North Americans. That would mean you could play in the US and still play in top level competition. I'm talking decades here though. |

You're in a gourmet restaurant, money is no object because your wealthy friend has the bill covered, and monkey is tonight's special. Your friend suggests that you try it.

I'd most certainly do it in that situation. In my scenario, it would depend on the restaurant and how much faith I have in the chefs. If my friend was already getting it and it looked well prepared I would definitely try it.
I guess I'll also extend the question to apes too.
