Anybody catch the Dallas vs Chivas MLS game last night? It was wig night, and Dallas handed out long, flowing wigs in "honor" of Juan Toja. It was pretty funny seeing cameramen, announcers, assistant coaches, etc. with these crazy wigs on.
I'm always amazed at the startling variety of hair styles in professional soccer. Or even on David Beckham.

Haha nice. It's always great to see how festive soccer games can be, you just don't get that in other sports. I've played at the complex a couple times in my career and against some of those players...thank god they weren't wearing the wigs then.

The U.S. has a long way to go to get as festive as other countries. Last year we went to the Mexico-U.S. World Cup qualifier in Columbus, OH (our closest fix to an MLS city) and it was still pretty subdued. My husband regularly travels to Germany and sees games there. They routinely set seats on fire, etc. Somewhere in between fast asleep and pyromania would be nice here, I think.

Really depends on where you are at, in Chicago they have a lively bunch and if you happen to be in the Northwest be sure to check out a Seattle Sounders game (A-League) where the fanbase is insane. I definitely don't want to get to seat-fire fanaticism though...

Toronto's fans are pretty enthusiastic. I know, Ohio isn't too exciting. Columbus is just the most easily accessible for us, much as I'd rather go to Chicago or Toronto. We have a minor league team here too (Michigan Bucks) which plays MLS teams every once and awhile.
