You just now noticed?

The immortal Brucio of du Nord, reflecting on ESPN Soccernet coverage of MLS.

Has anyone else noticed that ESPN Soccernet has drastically cut their MLS coverage. I have.

At least they've stopped pretending. MLS coverage has always been a second-hand citizen on the Soccernet homepage. Right now, to get MLS news, you have to go to the "US Soccer" tab, and then click on MLS, which is the second link in the drop down list. There's nothing MLS-related under "Live Scores". Nothing under "Clubs". And then you've got to skip past Premier League, Europe, Champions League, World Cup, and Global before you get to the US Soccer tab, which is located just to the right of more Eurocentric blogs. So yeah. High profile.

I pointed out how much Soccernet sucked relative to, oh, just about everything else last summer. If they've cut back now even more, it's because Ives Galarcep took his typewriter banging to Fox and Max Bretos' column-writing skills are on par with his match commentary.
