MLS Teams With A&E for DVD Releases

In the last few years there has been precious little in the way of American soccer on DVD...and Miracle Match does not count. MLS looks to remedy that by teaming up with The Tasteful Channel aka A&E to release it's DVD's. The first product of this new joint venture to hit your DVD player will be a revisit of this year's MLS Cup.

All this is excellent as the home video market is one that the league has been passing by, Pharcyde-style. What would really bring foam to the Guinness would be if they got the people that produced these playoff shows back in 2005 to do these videos. It's totally NFL Films style, but totally ill. Edward James Olmos on the narration.

Damn! Edward James Olmos on the narration is awesome! I so totally agree with that MLS should do the videos like that again!

MLS should absolutely do a video like this of the Red Bulls - Galaxy game... 9 goals, tons of movement, Beckham actually doing well and playing... That would be the greatest ad for MLS they could possibly create...
