5 Signs You're Actually a Closet MLS Fan

Real fans know the thrill, agony, and camaraderie that come with supporting their MLS team. But what if you've been secretly harboring a love for the league and just haven't admitted it yet? Here are five signs you might be a closet MLS fan:

You stay up late on the weekends to catch the El Tráfico clash between LAFC and the Galaxy
(Bonus points if you can sing along to the Timbers Army's "I Believe" or the Seattle Sounders' "He's a Maniac!")

You've been caught arguing with your friends about the "real" champions of North America
(You know the truth: it's MLS Champions League!)

You've accidentally yelled at the TV during a US Open Cup match
(and you don't want to admit it was a United-Detroit match)

You get a sense of pride when you see MLS players called up to the national team
(even if you're rooting against the States because you're a hardcore Canadian)

You've already started counting the years to the 2026 World Cup
(and you're confident that every stadium will be packed and buzzing with excitement)

If you relate to any of these signs, congratulations! You're not alone. The MLS is growing, and the passion for the league is contagious. So, come out of the closet and embrace your love for the beautiful game. Join the ranks of the true fans, and let's all share in the joy of supporting our favorite teams.
