They really blew it by allowing that goal. It looked sloppy and a lack of focus like we got this in the bag. That was a major opportunity to impress the non-soccer fan and get them to watch a MLS game.
But, I do understand Soccer better now. And will watch the next game too. So there is still a chance to attract large amount of sports fans to soccer.

It should have shown you how dangerous the opposition can be from minute one to the last seconds, and despite the low scores, how close teams are to scoring with the slightest letdown.
What looks like to the lay person a bunch of lazy dudes lolling around on a tropical beach, is often those same guys sticking their hands in and out of a crocodile's mouth.
What the lack of familiarity with the game engenders is an inability to see the crocodile. Similar to the Jones goal where he looked pent up until he made just the right move to his right and blasted one of the more impressive goals of the Cup.
