This look at the 1999 season of Major League Soccer, the North American professional soccer league, will be a treat for those who are fans of the league. The approach is to essentially profile each team's year chronologically, and there is a wealth of action footage showing the turning points of the season. Some of the characters who have become stars of the league, such as the Tampa Bay Mutiny's Carlos Valderrama (referred to in the documentary by his nickname around the league, "the guy with the hair") and the Kansas City Wizards' Alexi Lalas, are briefly profiled. And the story of how the various teams clashed throughout the season and in the playoffs is covered in a straightforward fashion. A seemingly inherent flaw in this production, however, is that while the professional soccer league is not enormously popular (a fact underscored by stretches of empty seats glimpsed in some game films), this season recap doesn't provide much introductory material for the benefit of those who might be new to the league. Granted, the idea was no doubt to make a tape for those who are already fans of Major League Soccer, but it should be noted that the attraction of this production is perhaps limited. --Robert J. McNamara

 USA Soccer is better than Seria A & B and Swiss Football July 2, 2001
I found this a joy to watch and to say that Cobi Jones is the best player on this video.
Good Video June 22, 2001
Could have better production but is well worth the money and is very entertaining for a fan of soccer.
 Exciting, Action-packed Review of MLS Teams July 1, 2000
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great video showing the highlights of the various MLS teams. It profiles some of the top stars in the league and shows some great goals. If you enjoy following MLS teams, you'll love this video. It captures the best action and the most important moments in each club's bid for a spot in the playoffs. Coverage of the playoffs was also well done. This is a video all fans will want to have for their library.
